FAQs

What is the primary material of the Nike Dunk Low Retro?

The upper is primarily constructed from a combination of premium leather and synthetic overlays.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While the Dunk silhouette originated from basketball, this 'Retro' lifestyle version is best suited for casual wear and everyday activities, not competitive sports.

How do I clean the violet outsole?

For the outsole, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub away dirt and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before storing.

What does 'UK 5.5' sizing mean?

This refers to the UK sizing standard for adult footwear. It is recommended to consult a Nike size chart for precise conversions to other international sizing systems (US, EU, etc.).

Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe.

What is the benefit of the perforated toe box?

The perforations enhance breathability, allowing air to circulate within the shoe, which helps to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable.

How durable is the leather used in these shoes?

The premium leather and synthetic overlays are chosen for their durability, providing a robust construction designed to withstand regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

New leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Scuffs or marks on the midsole

Use a magic eraser or a melamine sponge with a little water to gently clean scuffs off the rubber midsole. Be careful not to scrub too hard.

Color transfer from suede/nubuck to socks

This can happen with new suede or nubuck. It's recommended to wear darker socks initially until any excess dye has been released. Avoid excessive moisture.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on leather, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat or put them in a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and sunlight.
  4. Laces: Clean laces separately or replace them if worn. Consider using sneaker cleaning wipes for quick touch-ups.
