FAQs

What does 'Next Nature' mean for these shoes?

The 'Next Nature' designation indicates that the shoes are constructed with a significant amount of recycled content, specifically at least 50% recycled materials by weight for the synthetic leather (Flyleather) upper.

Are these shoes for men or women?

This specific model (DD1873-102) was originally released in women's sizing. However, individuals of any gender can wear them by converting to their corresponding size. For example, a women's UK 12 typically corresponds to a men's UK 11 or US men's 12-12.5.

How do I clean the synthetic leather upper?

For basic cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Gently wipe the surface. For more stubborn marks, a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution can be used, following the product's instructions. Always air dry.

Can I use these for running or sports?

While durable, the Nike Dunk Low Next Nature is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, not for performance running or intense sports. For athletic activities, specialized sports footwear with appropriate support and cushioning is recommended.

What is the 'Panda' colorway?

The 'Panda' colorway refers to the iconic black and white color blocking, where the base of the shoe is white and the overlays (toe, eyestay, heel, swoosh) are black, resembling the distinct coloring of a panda.

Will the neon green sockliner fade?

The neon green color of the sockliner is generally durable. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh cleaning chemicals could potentially cause some fading over time. Normal wear and careful cleaning should preserve its color.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. As these are originally women's sizing, check a Nike sizing chart for conversion if needed. Try adjusting the lacing to be looser or tighter, or experiment with different socks for a better fit.

Scuffs or marks appear on the synthetic leather.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Rub lightly in a circular motion. For deeper scuffs, a white eraser can sometimes help, followed by a gentle wipe.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur if the insole rubs against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. Ensure the soles are clean and dry, as moisture can also cause squeaking.

Shoes look dull or dusty.

Regularly wipe down the entire shoe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and maintain its clean appearance. For a deeper clean, follow the 'Care' instructions provided in this guide.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your Nike Dunk Low Next Nature sneakers.

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray designed for synthetic leather to help repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the shoes down with a soft, damp cloth. A mild soap solution can be used for more stubborn marks.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For scuffs or marks on the synthetic leather, gently rub with a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a small amount of mild soap on a soft brush or cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap to clean the rubber soles and sidewalls.
  5. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a dryer.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your sneakers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
