FAQs

What makes the Nike Dunk Low x Harris Tweed special?

This collaboration features premium Harris Tweed wool uppers, offering a unique texture and artisanal quality not typically found on standard sneakers, combined with the iconic Nike Dunk Low design.

How do I clean the Harris Tweed wool?

Gently brush off dust and dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, and blot gently. Avoid machine washing or soaking.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While durable, the materials are best suited for everyday activities rather than intense athletic performance.

What is the 'Sesame' colorway?

The 'Sesame' colorway refers to the primary earthy, light brown tone of the shoe, accented with 'Violett-Nebel' (Violet Mist) and 'Barock-Braun' (Baroque Brown) details.

What does the Harris Tweed Authority seal signify?

The seal signifies that the wool used in the uppers is genuine Harris Tweed, handwoven by islanders in their homes on the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, ensuring authenticity and tradition.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is advisable to avoid wearing these in heavy rain or wet conditions, as wool and suede materials can be sensitive to excessive moisture. Using a water-repellent spray designed for these materials can offer some protection for light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Wool appears matted or discolored

Gently brush with a soft wool brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. If discoloration persists, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in natural materials.

Suede is stiff or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser. Apply a suede protector spray after cleaning to prevent future issues.

Laces are frayed or dirty

Replace frayed laces immediately. Dirty laces can be hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried.

Overall shoes lose shape

Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help them retain their original form.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Wool Uppers: Use a soft brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust. For stains, use a damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild detergent. Avoid soaking the wool.
  • Cleaning Suede Overlays: Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser to clean suede areas. Protect suede from water and stains with a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).
  • Laces: Laces can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
