FAQs
What materials are these Nike Dunks made from?
These sneakers feature a premium leather upper in burgundy and sail, with a tumbled pink leather Swoosh. They also include a comfortable mesh sockliner and burgundy outsoles.
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities?
No, the Nike Dunk Low Retro PRM Valentine’s Day (2023) is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While durable, they are not intended for high-performance sports or intense physical activities.
How do I clean my Nike Dunk Low Valentine's Day sneakers?
For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe with a damp cloth and dry completely. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals to protect the leather.
Are these shoes a limited edition?
Yes, these are part of Nike's 2023 Valentine’s Day collection and were released as a limited edition product on February 7, 2023.
What is the fit like for these Nike Dunks?
Nike Dunks typically have a true-to-size fit. If you have wider feet, some people suggest going up half a size, but for most, your standard UK size 14 will fit well.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to protect the material and prevent staining. A protective spray designed for leather can add an extra layer of water repellency.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the toe box
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not wearing and avoid excessive bending of the foot. You can also try 'crease protectors' inserted into the toe box.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft, clean cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner can help, following the product instructions carefully.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath, and then reinserting it.
Fading color on the burgundy or pink areas
Extended exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Store your sneakers in a cool, dark place. For already faded areas, professional sneaker restoration services might be an option, but prevention is key.

Care
Maintaining your leather Nike Dunks will help preserve their appearance and extend their lifespan.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a sneaker protector spray designed for leather to help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher dirt or stains:
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap or sneaker cleaner) with water.
- Dampen a soft brush or cloth with the solution and gently scrub affected areas in circular motions.
- Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and then dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Avoid saturating the leather.
- Lace Care: Remove and hand wash the laces separately with mild soap and water if they become dirty.
- Odor Control: Use cedar shoe trees or sneaker deodorizers when not wearing to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable bag to protect them from dust.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or machine dry your leather sneakers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
