Product Information
Full details
The Nike Dunk Low Cactus Plant Flea Market Grinch trainers are designed for adult sneaker enthusiasts seeking a bold, unique statement piece. The primary benefit is their highly distinctive, conversation-starting aesthetic driven by an overgrown, bushy heap of green faux fur covering the entire upper. A potential caveat is the unconventional material, which may require specific care and might not suit all wearers. Key features include the all-over faux fur, a rounded collar with a pull tab, a yin-yang logo on the heel, embroidered CPFM and Nike symbols on the tongue, and a hidden pocket behind the tongue for discreet storage.

FAQs
What is the main material used for the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from a green, overgrown, bushy faux fur.
Is there any special feature on the tongue?
Yes, the tongue features embroidered CPFM and Nike symbols and conceals a small, crafty pocket.
How should I clean the faux fur?

What does the 'Grinch' name refer to?
The name 'Grinch' is inspired by the distinctive green color and the somewhat wild, overgrown texture of the faux fur, reminiscent of the Dr. Seuss character.

There is a distinctive embroidered yin-yang logo on the heel.
Where can I find sizing information?
Refer to the specific size chart provided by Nike or the retailer where the product is sold, as sizing can vary.
Troubleshooting
Faux fur looks matted or dirty
Gently brush the fur with a soft-bristled brush to restore its loft. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap, dabbing carefully. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing.
Hidden pocket is difficult to open/close
Ensure there are no threads or debris caught in the pocket's closure. Gently work the closure back and forth to loosen it. Avoid forcing it, as this could damage the material.
Color transfer from fur to clothing
This can occasionally happen with heavily dyed materials, especially when new or wet. It is advisable to avoid wearing light-colored clothing with the trainers until the dye has stabilized, or to be cautious in humid conditions.
Laces are dirty or worn
The laces can be carefully removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. If severely worn, replacement laces of a similar color and material can be sourced from specialty shoe accessory retailers.

- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains on the fur, use a mild detergent diluted in water and apply with a clean cloth, dabbing gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
