FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While the Nike Dunk Low is inspired by a classic basketball shoe design, the Premium 'Valentine’s Day' edition is designed for fashion and casual wear, not for athletic performance or competitive sports.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of these shoes is crafted entirely from premium all-leather, ensuring both durability and a high-quality finish.
How should I clean my Nike Dunk Low Premium 'Valentine’s Day' shoes?
For the leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth or use a specialized leather cleaner. The rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Is the sizing true to size?
Nike Dunk Low models generally run true to size for most individuals. For the best fit, it's recommended to select your standard UK adult male shoe size. This specific pair is UK size 5.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some resistance to light moisture, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the leather. Applying a water-repellent leather protector can offer additional defense.
What makes these 'Premium'?
The 'Premium' designation typically refers to the use of higher-quality materials, construction, and often unique colorways or special editions, such as this 'Valentine's Day' themed release, compared to standard models.
Troubleshooting
Leather upper appears scuffed or dirty.
Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner on a soft brush, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and air dry.
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.
Creasing appears on the toe box after wear.
Creasing is natural with leather shoes. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing them. Wearing creasing protectors inside the shoe can also help maintain the shoe's shape during wear.
Soles appear discolored or dirty.
Use a sneaker cleaning solution and a stiff brush specifically designed for outsoles. For vintage-looking soles, a gentle scrub with mild soap and water can often restore their appearance.

Care Instructions
To maintain the premium look and longevity of your all-leather Nike Dunk Low:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dust and dirt.
- Spot Treatment: For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray periodically to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash leather sneakers, as this can cause irreversible damage to the material and structure.
