Product Information
Full details
The Nike Dunk High 1985 "Chaos - Black" trainers are designed for the fashion-conscious adult seeking a blend of classic design and subtle artistic expression. The key benefit is their unique aesthetic, combining premium leather with contrasting 'CHAOS' and 'GLEICHGEWICHT' (German for 'BALANCE') motifs for a distinctive look. A potential caveat is that these are a fashion-oriented shoe, not a performance athletic trainer, and their specific sizing may require careful consideration.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The Nike Dunk High 1985 'Chaos - Black' are primarily fashion trainers designed for casual wear. They are not optimized for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
What does 'Chaos' and 'Gleichgewicht' mean?
'Chaos' is the English word, and 'Gleichgewicht' is German for 'Balance.' These terms reflect the collaborative design motif by Undercover, symbolizing the embrace of opposing states.
How do I clean the tumbled and smooth leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stubborn dirt or marks, apply a small amount of mild leather cleaner with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
What is the material of the trainers?
These trainers are constructed with a mix of smooth and tumbled leather.
When were these shoes released?
The Nike Undercover x Dunk High 1985 'Chaos - Black' were released in March 2022.
What is the difference between smooth and tumbled leather?
Smooth leather has a uniform, refined surface, while tumbled leather has a softer, more textured feel achieved through a process that 'tumbles' the leather, creating a natural-looking grain.
Do these trainers come in other colors besides black?
This specific model, the 'Chaos - Black,' is a monochromatic black colorway. Other Dunk High 1985 models may be available in different colorways.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Consult the Nike sizing chart and compare with your foot measurements. Consider trying on different sizes if possible. For slight tightness, breaking them in with thicker socks can help. For looseness, thicker insoles might offer a better fit.
Leather scuffing or marking
For minor scuffs, use a soft cloth and a suitable leather cleaner. For deeper marks, professional shoe restoration services might be required.
Color transfer from black leather
Ensure socks are colorfast. If color transfer occurs, clean the affected area immediately with a damp cloth. Applying a leather protectant can help create a barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure you have selected the correct size before purchase.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Designed to be worn with socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather surfaces. For tougher spots, a mild leather cleaner can be applied with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect the leather and maintain shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially before wearing them in inclement weather.
