FAQs
What materials are the Nike Dunk Low Retro PRM Valentine's Day (2023) sneakers made from?
These sneakers are crafted primarily from premium leather, featuring a burgundy and sail leather upper with a tumbled pink leather Swoosh. They also include a mesh sockliner for comfort.
How do I ensure I have the correct size?
These sneakers are listed in UK adult male sizing. Generally, Nike Dunks are considered true to size for most individuals. If you have owned Nike Dunks before, sticking with your usual size is recommended. If unsure, measure your foot length and consult a Nike size chart.
Are these sneakers suitable for all-weather conditions?
While the leather offers some protection, these sneakers are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or snow to preserve the leather's quality. For added protection against light moisture and stains, consider applying a suitable leather protector spray.
What does 'PRM' in the name signify?
'PRM' stands for 'Premium,' indicating that these sneakers feature higher-quality materials, special finishes, or unique design details compared to standard releases. In this case, it refers to the premium leather construction and the special edition Valentine's Day theme.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather sneakers. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always clean them by hand using appropriate leather cleaning products and methods as outlined in the care instructions.
When was this specific model released?
The Nike Dunk Low Retro PRM Valentine's Day (2023) was released on February 7, 2023, as part of Nike's annual Valentine's Day collection.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers are squeaking when I walk.
New sneakers, especially those with leather components, can sometimes squeak as the materials settle. Try wearing them for a few days to break them in. If the squeaking persists, it might be due to friction between the insole and the shoe's sole; try removing the insole, dusting with a little baby powder, and replacing it.
The leather looks dull or has minor scuffs.
For dullness, apply a high-quality leather conditioner as part of your regular care routine. For minor scuffs, a soft cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner or a specialized leather scuff remover can often blend them out. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
The pink Swoosh appears dirty or discolored.
Carefully clean the tumbled pink leather Swoosh with a soft brush and a gentle sneaker cleaning solution. Avoid aggressive scrubbing. For stubborn dirt, a specialized leather cleaner might be necessary, but ensure it is color-safe for pink leather.
My feet feel uncomfortable after prolonged wear.
While Dunks are comfortable for casual use, if you experience significant discomfort, ensure the sizing is correct. You might also consider replacing the stock insoles with aftermarket insoles that offer better arch support or cushioning tailored to your foot shape.

Care Instructions
To maintain the premium appearance and longevity of your leather Nike Dunks, follow these care tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
- Deep Cleaning (As Needed): Use a sneaker-specific cleaning solution for a more thorough clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the leather.
- Leather Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather soft, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural luster. Ensure the conditioner is suitable for shoe leather.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather to protect against spills and environmental elements. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
