FAQs
What materials are used in the Nike Dunk Low SE Black Grey Gum?
The shoe features a base of dark grey suede, with black leather overlays, and a white leather Nike Swoosh. The outsole is made of classic gum rubber.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
The Nike Dunk Low SE is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. While durable, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How can I prevent my shoes from creasing?
To help prevent creasing, store your shoes with shoe trees when not in use. You can also ensure your laces are not too tight, which can sometimes cause material to bunch.
Is the UK 15 size true to fit?
Nike Dunk models generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit preference can vary. If unsure, consult Nike's official size guide.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather overlays offer some water resistance, the suede material is sensitive to water and can be damaged or stained. It's best to avoid heavy rain and consider applying a water-repellent spray for protection in light damp conditions.
What is the benefit of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole provides excellent multi-directional traction on a variety of surfaces, offering stability and durability while adding a classic aesthetic to the shoe's design.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or has visible dirt/scuffs.
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper marks, apply a suede cleaner as per its instructions, then brush the nap back into place when dry.
Shoes are squeaking when I walk.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with baby powder or cornstarch, and then reinserting the insole.
White Swoosh or heel collar appears dirty easily.
Gently wipe the white leather areas with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner specifically for white leather can be used.
Creasing appears on the toe box or upper.
To minimize creasing, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers. Avoid excessive bending of the foot where possible, and ensure the laces are not too tight, causing the material to bunch.
Outsole traction feels reduced.
Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, dust, or debris that might be impacting grip. A stiff brush and warm soapy water usually work well.

Care Instructions
To ensure your Nike Dunk Low SE Black Grey Gum maintains its pristine look and extends its lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the black leather overlays and white Swoosh with a *damp, soft cloth* and mild soap solution. Wipe dry immediately.
- Suede Care: The dark grey suede portions require specialized care. Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a *suede-specific cleaner* and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water, which can damage suede.
- Outsole Cleaning: Use a brush and mild soap to clean the gum rubber outsole, removing any accumulated dirt or debris to maintain traction.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help prevent creasing and maintain their original shape, especially in the larger UK 15 size.
- Protection: Consider applying a *water and stain repellent spray* designed for mixed materials (suede and leather) to add an extra layer of protection against the elements.
