Proper care will help maintain the premium appearance and longevity of your leather Nike Dunk Lows:
Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply the cleaner sparingly to a cloth, then wipe the affected area.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as these can dry out and crack the leather.
Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Protection: To protect the leather from water and stains, you may apply a leather protector spray suitable for finished leather. Always test any new product on an inconspicuous area first.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
