FAQs
Are Nike Dunk Lows true to size?
Most users find that Nike Dunk Lows fit true to size. If you have a wider foot, you may prefer to go up a half size for extra room.
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
While the leather construction provides some protection against light moisture, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent water staining the leather.
How do I remove scuffs from the white leather?
A magic eraser used very sparingly can remove light scuffs, but use caution as it is abrasive and can remove the top finish of the leather.
Is the Nike Dunk Low Michigan State an athletic shoe?
While it originates from basketball heritage, it is now primarily classified as a lifestyle sneaker intended for fashion and casual wear.
What is the material composition?
The upper is constructed primarily from premium leather, featuring both white base panels and colored overlays.
How long do these shoes typically last?
With proper care, rotation with other pairs, and appropriate cleaning, these sneakers can last for several years of regular use.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use plastic or cedar shoe trees when storing the shoes to maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Surface dirt on leather overlays
Gently wipe the area with a damp microfiber cloth; for deeper dirt, apply a small amount of leather-safe cleaning solution.
Squeaking sounds while walking
This is often caused by humidity or the insole rubbing against the base; try removing the insole and adding a light dusting of talcum powder underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are classic leather trainers, proper care is essential. To keep your Nike Dunk Lows in top condition, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after every few wears to remove dirt and surface debris. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. For stubborn stains, use a mild leather-specific cleaner. To prevent deep creasing in the toe box, store the shoes with cedar or plastic shoe trees when not in use. Ensure you verify your sizing carefully, as the leather upper does not stretch significantly over time.
