FAQs

What does 'Next Nature' signify in these sneakers?

'Next Nature' indicates that the product contains at least 20% recycled materials by weight. This is Nike's initiative to reduce waste and carbon footprint, offering a more sustainable choice.

Are these Nike Dunks suitable for playing basketball?

While the Nike Dunk Low has roots in basketball, the 'Next Nature' variant is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It offers comfort and style for daily activities but is not engineered for the rigorous demands of performance basketball.

How should I clean the Red leather upper?

For general cleaning, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt or stains, use a leather-specific cleaner appropriate for colored leather, following the product's instructions. Always test on a small, hidden area first.

Are these sneakers waterproof?

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but these sneakers are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and color.

Do Nike Dunk Lows generally run true to size?

Most wearers find Nike Dunk Lows, including the Next Nature series, to fit true to size. If you are typically between sizes, it is often recommended to try on both sizes or consult Nike's official size chart for the best fit.

How can I prevent creases in the toe box?

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize it, ensure you have the correct size. Using shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn and regularly conditioning the leather can also help maintain their shape and reduce the prominence of creases.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur from friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure the shoe is adequately broken in.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Creasing is natural for leather shoes. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing them to help maintain shape. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair cream in a matching color, testing first on an inconspicuous area.

Laces becoming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot. If the laces are worn or frayed, consider replacing them with new, durable laces that match the aesthetic of your sneakers.

Color fading on the Red leather

Exposure to direct, prolonged sunlight can cause color fading. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct light. You can also use a leather conditioner with UV protection to help maintain the vibrancy of the color.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Nike Dunk Low Next Nature sneakers:

  1. General Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, wipe the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary.
  2. Stain Removal: For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't affect the color.
  3. Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap to clean the rubber sole and sidewalls. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the Red leather.
  6. Odor Control: Use sneaker deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.
  7. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
