FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Dunk High 1985 models are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Modern basketball shoes offer superior performance and support for the sport.

How do I clean the speckled midsole?

The speckled midsole can be cleaned using a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.

What does 'UNDERCOVER BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION' mean?

This text is part of the collaborative design by Jun Takahashi's brand, UNDERCOVER, adding a unique thematic element to the shoe's aesthetic, referencing a fictional basketball league.

Do these shoes come in different colors?

The "Gym Red" is a specific colorway. The Dunk High 1985 model has been released in various colorways and collaborations over time.

How does the sizing run for the Dunk High 1985?

The Dunk High 1985 generally follows standard Nike sizing, but some users report them running slightly narrow. It is advisable to try them on if possible or refer to size charts carefully.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather and nubuck materials are not fully waterproof. While they offer some protection, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher. If the issue persists, check if you have the correct size; these may run narrower than other models.

Scuffs or dirt on leather overlays

Gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry immediately with a separate cloth.

Stains on the nubuck upper

Use a dedicated nubuck eraser or a soft brush to carefully lift the stain. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is natural with wear on leather shoes. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
