FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer going up a half size.
Can I use these for basketball?
While originally designed as basketball shoes, modern Dunk Highs are intended for lifestyle and fashion use. They lack the specialized performance cushioning of modern athletic basketball sneakers.
How do I keep the white midsole clean?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mix with a soft-bristled brush to scrub the midsole gently.
Is the leather upper genuine?
Yes, the trainers feature durable leather construction designed to provide a premium feel and longevity.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light rain, but they are not waterproof and should not be submerged in deep puddles.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff upon first wear
Wear the trainers for short durations around the house to allow the leather to naturally mold to your foot shape.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets or switch to a double-knot method for more security.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather cleaner to gently buff out the mark.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are pre-assembled trainers, there is no setup required beyond adjusting the lacing to your preferred tension. When it comes to compatibility, the UK 8.5 sizing is standard, but if you prefer wearing thicker athletic socks, ensure your foot does not feel overly compressed in the toe box. For care, keep the leather in prime condition by wiping off surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the dyes from the blue and orange overlays. We recommend using a leather-safe conditioner periodically to prevent cracking and storing them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
