FAQs

Are these Nike Dunks true to size?

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.

Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?

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.

How often should I clean my suede Nike Dunks?

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.

What's the best way to store these shoes?

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.

Are these suitable for basketball or sports?

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.

What is the difference between Suede and Leather Nike Dunks?

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.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

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

Suede has a water stain.

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.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

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 on the toe box or leather overlays.

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.

Care:

Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium suede and leather of your Nike Dunks.

  2. Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently brush away debris.
  3. Stain Removal: For tougher stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. For leather areas, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by a dry wipe.
  4. Water Exposure: Avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
