FAQs

What materials are the Nike Dunk Low Athletic Department University Blue made from?

The shoe features a combination of leather for overlays and suede for accent panels, with a textile lining and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean these sneakers?

Gently clean with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry. Suede areas require specialized care.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

These are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.

What does 'Athletic Department' signify in the name?

This naming convention is part of a specific collection or design theme by Nike, often referencing vintage athletic apparel and collegiate styles.

How do I find the right size?

It's recommended to consult Nike's official sizing chart and measure your foot. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary by individual foot shape.

What is the cushioning system like?

The shoe features a Light Iron Ore EVA foam midsole for cushioning and a padded collar for comfort around the ankle.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, the suede panels are susceptible to water damage. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material.

Troubleshooting

Slight discoloration of suede.

Use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight.

Laces become dirty.

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Air dry completely before re-lacing.

Sole separation on a small area.

For minor separation, a flexible shoe glue designed for rubber and leather can be carefully applied. For significant issues, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure correct sizing. Try wearing thicker socks or using insoles for added cushioning and to fill any slight gaps.
