FAQs
What material is the Nike Dunk Low UCLA made of?
The upper of the Nike Dunk Low UCLA is made of leather, featuring University Gold and Blue Jay overlays.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While inspired by basketball heritage, the Dunk Low is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle shoe and is not recommended for intense athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers. Allow to air dry.
What does the 'UCLA' in the name refer to?
The 'UCLA' designation refers to the colorway, which closely resembles the school colors of the University of California Los Angeles (Blue and Gold).
What is the typical retail price?
The Nike Dunk Low UCLA debuted with a retail price of $100 USD.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a dust bag to protect them from dust and damage.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.
Troubleshooting
Laces don't stay tied.
Ensure laces are tied securely. If they continue to come undone, consider double-knotting them or replacing them with new laces that offer better grip.
Leather appears dry or creased.
Apply a leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Avoid over-flexing the shoe in the same spots repeatedly to minimize creasing.
Slight squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Ensure insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction.
Color transfer onto socks.
This is more common with new, dark-colored footwear. It should lessen with wear. Cleaning the inside of the shoe lightly with a damp cloth may help reduce initial transfer.
