FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Dunk Low is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. While they offer good support for walking and casual activities, they lack the specialized cushioning and technology required for serious running.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or Nike's official sizing guide. These shoes are listed in UK adult sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the size chart.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials.

What does 'Athletic Department' signify for this Dunk Low model?

The 'Athletic Department' designation often refers to a specific collection or theme, typically inspired by vintage university sports apparel and branding, influencing the colorways and design details.

How do I clean the different colored panels?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth for the main leather panels. For the 'Sail' or 'Light Iron Ore' accents, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner suitable for mixed materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the typical lifespan of Nike Dunk Lows?

With regular wear and proper care, Nike Dunk Lows can last for several years. The lifespan depends on factors like frequency of use, activity level, and maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from the shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try loosening and re-tying the laces, or inserting talcum powder or a dryer sheet inside the shoe.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather, especially at flex points. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Discoloration of the upper or sole

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate shoe cleaners and protectants for the materials.

Care Instructions:
