FAQs

What is the primary material of the Nike Dunk Low 'University Blue'?

The Nike Dunk Low 'University Blue' features a construction primarily of leather for both the upper and the overlays.

When was the Nike Dunk Low 'University Blue' released?

This particular colorway, SKU DD1391-102, was released on June 24, 2021.

Are these shoes suitable for running or basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Dunk Low 'University Blue' is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear. It is not recommended for intense athletic performance.

How do I clean the white leather parts?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap to clean white leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What does 'University Blue' refer to?

University Blue is a specific shade of blue used by Nike, often referencing collegiate sports teams. In this case, it nods to the University of North Carolina's team colors.

How does the sizing typically run for Nike Dunks?

Nike Dunks often run true to size for some, but can feel slightly narrow or snug for others. It's advisable to check sizing guides or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try lacing them differently, or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if it's removable.

Leather shows creases or scuffs

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. For minor scuffs, try a leather cleaner or conditioner. For deeper creases, conditioning and stuffing the shoe can help minimize their appearance over time.

Color transfer from blue overlays

In rare cases, the blue dye might transfer onto socks or light-colored surfaces, especially when wet. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider wearing darker socks initially.

Fit feels too tight

The Dunk Low is known for a slightly snug fit. Wearing thinner socks or breaking them in by walking around the house can help. If consistently uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles are needed.

Care Instructions:
