FAQs
Is the sizing true to size for this model?
Nike Dunk Lows generally fit true to size for most individuals. We recommend purchasing your usual Nike shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or snow to protect the leather and maintain their condition. A water-repellent spray can offer some added protection.
What is the 'Retro PRM' designation?
The 'Retro PRM' (Premium) designation indicates that these shoes are a retro re-release of a classic design, often featuring enhanced materials, unique colorways, or refined construction compared to standard releases, offering a more luxurious feel.
How do I keep the vintage off-white midsole clean?
The vintage off-white midsole can be cleaned with a soft brush and a mild soap solution or a specialized midsole cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, which can damage the finish or color.
Are these suitable for everyday casual wear?
Yes, these Nike Dunk Lows are designed for everyday casual wear. Their durable leather construction, comfortable sockliner, and iconic silhouette make them a stylish and practical choice for daily outfits and urban settings.
Is the tumbled pink leather Swoosh durable?
Yes, the tumbled pink leather Swoosh is made from high-quality leather and is designed to be durable for everyday wear. With proper care and cleaning, it should maintain its texture and appearance over time.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Gently clean the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or balm can help restore its luster and hide imperfections. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Outsole loses grip or looks dirty
Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of warm water and mild soap to scrub the outsole. For stubborn grime, a dedicated sole cleaner can be effective. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
Shoes develop an odor
Remove insoles and air out shoes regularly. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Consider using cedar shoe trees or sneaker deodorizers.
Laces get dirty or damaged
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, then air dry. If severely damaged or stained, replacement laces in a matching or complementary color are widely available.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your Nike Dunk Lows.
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the entire shoe with a soft, damp cloth immediately after wear. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Leather Care: The all-leather upper benefits from specific care. Use a high-quality leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth to remove stubborn dirt. Follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Perform this periodically, especially if the leather looks dull.
- Swoosh Care: The tumbled pink leather Swoosh can be cleaned with the same gentle leather cleaning method. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
- Sole Cleaning: Clean the rubber cupsole and burgundy outsole with a brush (like a toothbrush) and a mild soap solution or a dedicated shoe sole cleaner to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags where moisture can build up.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and sneakers to protect against elements.
