FAQs

What is the original purpose of the Nike Dunk?

The Nike Dunk was originally designed in 1985 as a basketball shoe, intended to match university team colors and warm-up outfits.

What materials are used in the Nike Dunk High 'Gold'?

This model features a canvas base with textured Wheat Gold leather overlays and Wheat Gold leather accents for the Swoosh.

How should I clean the leather parts of the shoe?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks, a leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers can be used, followed by a conditioning product.

What does 'Wheat Gold' and 'Safety Orange' refer to?

'Wheat Gold' describes the primary color of the leather overlays and laces, while 'Safety Orange' is the distinct color of the outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While originally a basketball shoe, the Dunk High is now primarily considered a lifestyle sneaker. It offers good support for everyday wear but is not designed for high-intensity athletic training.

What is the significance of the Dunk's silhouette?

The Dunk's distinctive silhouette, combined with its vibrant colorways, helped it transition from a sports shoe to a cultural icon in fashion and streetwear.

How does the sizing run for this model?

This model follows standard adult men's UK sizing. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult a size chart for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Squeaking sound

If the shoes squeak, it might be due to friction between parts. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area.

Color transfer from outsole

The Safety Orange outsole may transfer color onto lighter surfaces, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, particularly in damp conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and canvas. For tougher stains on the midsole and outsole, a mixture of mild soap and water can be used with a soft brush.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
