Nike Dunk Low Retro SE Trainers - Black - UK 11

Generally, Nike Dunks are considered to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.

Due to the suede material, it is strongly advised to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede is highly susceptible to water damage and staining. Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede for light protection.

The frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For optimal appearance, a light brush after every few wears is recommended. Deep cleaning should be done as needed, especially after encountering dirt or stains.

Store your Nike Dunks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.

While the Nike Dunk originated as a basketball shoe, this specific model (Nike Dunk Black Suede) is now primarily considered a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is not designed for modern high-performance sports due to its vintage construction and materials, which prioritize style over athletic functionality.

The primary difference lies in the material. Suede Dunks offer a softer, napped texture with a more casual, velvety look, but require more delicate care. Leather Dunks tend to be more durable and easier to clean, offering a smoother finish and often a slightly more structured feel.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.

Allow the shoe to dry completely. Then, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water, and gently rub the entire affected area to re-wet the suede evenly. Blot with a dry cloth and let it air dry again. Repeat if necessary, or use a specific suede stain remover.

Nike Dunks typically have a standard fit. Allow a brief break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks; sometimes thinner or thicker socks can impact fit.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing, especially after wear. You can also carefully use a shoe crease protector insert.
