FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Nike Dunk Low models typically run true to size for most individuals. We recommend purchasing your usual sneaker size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you have wider feet.

What material are these sneakers made from?

The Nike Dunk Low Premium Valentine's Day 2023 features an all-leather upper, providing a premium feel and durable construction. The sole is made of robust rubber.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the leather upper offers some natural resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture. Applying a suitable leather protector spray can enhance water resistance for light damp conditions.

How often should I clean these sneakers?

Regular, light cleaning after each wear (wiping down with a damp cloth) is recommended to prevent dirt buildup. A more thorough cleaning and conditioning with a dedicated leather product should be done every few weeks or months, depending on frequency of use and exposure to dirt.

Are these suitable for sports or basketball?

While the Nike Dunk Low is inspired by traditional basketball shoes, this Premium Valentine's Day edition is designed for casual wear and fashion rather than athletic performance. For sports, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.

Is the pink color very bright or subtle?

The description indicates 'soft pink accents,' suggesting a more subtle and complementary tone rather than a very bright or neon pink, which aligns with the overall premium and seasonal aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or minor marks on leather upper

For light scuffs, gently rub with a clean, soft cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a small amount of leather cleaner or a specialized leather balm on a clean cloth, rubbing gently until the mark is reduced.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially. Over time, the leather will soften and conform to your foot shape for increased comfort.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to outsole friction with certain surfaces, which is normal for some rubber compounds.

Fading of colors over time

Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause color fading. Regularly clean and condition the leather to keep it supple, as dry leather can sometimes appear duller. For significant fading, consult a professional shoe care specialist.

Care

  1. Cleaning:

  • Outsole: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to clean the rubber cupsole.
  • Laces: Remove and hand wash laces with mild detergent, then air dry.
  1. Protection: Apply a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
  2. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  3. Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry these shoes, as it can damage the leather and adhesives. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or moisture.
