FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While the Nike Dunk High 1985 'Blue Denim' features durable materials and a classic design, they are primarily intended for lifestyle wear and casual use. For professional skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with enhanced padding and specific grip patterns are generally recommended.

How do I clean the denim material?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the denim. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.

Will the blue denim fade or bleed color?

Like most denim products, the color may fade slightly with wear and washing. Initial wear might also result in some color transfer to socks or lighter clothing, which typically reduces over time.

What does '1985' signify in the product name?

The '1985' indicates that these trainers are a retro reissue or inspired by the original Nike Dunk High models released in 1985, featuring design elements consistent with that era.

Can these trainers be worn by all genders?

Yes, the Nike Dunk High 1985 'Blue Denim' is listed as unisex, making it suitable for anyone looking for this style and fit.

What is the intended use for these trainers?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear, casual activities, and streetwear fashion. They offer comfort and style for daily use.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

Nike Dunk Highs generally run true to size for most wearers. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to consult Nike's official size chart or try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if the fit is snug.

Denim color transfer to socks or pants

This is common with new denim. Wash socks separately for the first few washes. For pants, consider the material and color. The color transfer usually reduces over time with wear.

Dirt or stains on the denim upper

Gently clean with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a talc-free powder or a thin insole to absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Care:

To maintain the appearance of the 'Blue Denim' colourway:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the denim, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or excessive soaking, as this can damage the denim and the shoe's structure.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent discoloration or material damage.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
  4. Denim Care: Be mindful of potential color transfer from the denim to lighter-colored socks or clothing, especially when new and dry. This is a natural characteristic of denim.
