While the Nike Dunk originated as a basketball shoe in the 1980s, this Retro Suede version is primarily designed for casual wear and street style. The suede material and retro construction are not optimized for the rigorous demands of modern basketball performance.
It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing your trainers for the first time. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions whenever possible.
Generally, Nike Dunk Retro Trainers are considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. If you are between sizes, or prefer a looser fit, you might consider going up half a size. This particular pair is UK 12.
No, you should never put suede trainers in a washing machine. This can severely damage the suede material, causing shrinking, discoloration, and loss of texture. Always follow specific suede cleaning instructions.
These specific Nike Dunk Retro Trainers feature a durable and premium black suede upper, complemented by a rubber sole.
The versatile black suede design pairs excellently with a wide range of casual and streetwear outfits. Consider dark wash jeans, chinos, cargo pants, shorts, hoodies, and t-shirts for a classic, stylish look.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub away dry dirt. For scuffs, use a suede eraser. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, testing on a small area first.
Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore its texture.
While Nike Dunks are generally true to size, new suede shoes might feel snug initially. Wear them for short periods at home to break them in. Thinner socks can also help. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size larger for future purchases.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush, using short, swift strokes in one direction. This helps to lift the nap and restore its original velvety texture.
