FAQs
What material is the upper of these Nike SB Dunk Highs made from?
The upper of the Nike SB Dunk High San Francisco Giants is crafted from durable synthetic leather, providing both longevity and style.
Is this shoe suitable for skateboarding or just casual wear?
While part of the SB (Skateboarding) line, its durable construction and robust rubber outsole make it suitable for light skateboarding. However, it is also widely appreciated and used as a stylish casual sneaker for everyday wear.
How do I best clean the orange Swoosh and black detailing without damaging them?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the colored areas and then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could strip the color or damage the material.
Does the sizing for the Nike SB Dunk High run true to size?
Nike Dunks generally run true to size for most individuals. If you typically wear a UK size 8 in other Nike sneakers, that should be your ideal fit for this model.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather conditions?
While the synthetic leather offers some water resistance, these sneakers are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture, it's best to choose alternative footwear to protect the materials and prolong their lifespan.
Are there any special considerations for storing these sneakers?
To maintain shape and prevent creasing, store them with shoe trees or acid-free paper inside. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colors and materials, and prevent degradation.
What makes this sneaker 'San Francisco Giants' inspired?
The colorway, featuring prominent team orange and black accents along with the overall design, is a stylistic nod to the classic colors and aesthetic associated with the San Francisco Giants baseball team.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The synthetic leather upper may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape and become more flexible.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and lightly dusting with baby powder or cornstarch to reduce friction, then reinserting.
Colors appear dull or dirty over time.
Regular cleaning is key. For synthetic leather, a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth can restore vibrancy. For the rubber sole, a tougher brush can be used to remove embedded dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the upper.
Scuff marks on the synthetic leather.
For minor scuffs, a white eraser can sometimes gently lift the mark. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather restorer or polish (ensure it's suitable for synthetic leather) in a matching color might be needed, applied sparingly with care.
Sole appears discolored or yellowed.
Rubber soles can oxidize and yellow over time. Specialized sole-whitening products designed for sneakers can help restore their original color, but always follow product instructions carefully.

Care Instructions
Proper care helps maintain the sneaker's aesthetic and longevity. Follow these guidelines to keep your SB Dunks looking their best:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt after each wear. This prevents grime buildup.
- Spot Treatment: For tougher marks or stains, use a sneaker-specific cleaner. Apply a small amount to a soft-bristled brush, lather, and gently scrub the affected area. Wipe clean with a fresh, damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as these can damage the synthetic leather, cause cracking, or distort the shoe's shape.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your sneakers. The harsh detergents, agitation, and high heat can severely damage the materials, adhesives, and overall construction of the shoe.
