FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?
While the Dunk High silhouette has roots in skate culture and features durable materials, the 'Blue Denim' 1985 model is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. They can handle light skating, but dedicated skate shoes may offer more specialized protection and grip for intensive use.
How do I clean the denim material?
For best results, spot clean the denim with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes, as this can damage the materials and shape.
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
The denim upper is not waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, heavy rain is not recommended as it can lead to discoloration and damage to the denim and other materials.
What does '85 High Top' refer to?
'85 High Top' refers to the original design and silhouette of the Nike Dunk High that was released in 1985, emphasizing a retro and authentic look.
Is the sizing true to size?
Generally, Nike Dunk Highs fit true to size. However, personal preference for fit can vary. It is recommended to check user reviews or try them on if possible.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Nike typically offers a limited warranty on their footwear against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details can usually be found on the official Nike website or by contacting customer service.
Can the raw hem details get significantly frayed?
The raw hem details are intentionally designed to have a frayed look. While some additional fraying may occur naturally with wear, excessive fraying could indicate rough use or improper care.
Troubleshooting
Denim appears faded or discolored.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Do not use harsh cleaning agents.
Stitching is coming loose.
Gently trim any loose threads with sharp scissors. If the issue persists or is significant, consider professional shoe repair.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides traction, but like all footwear, performance may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution.
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. For initial wear, the shoes may need a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially.
