FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Nike Dunk Low is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for performance running.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The Dunk Low typically fits true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the shoe construction. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.

What is the St. John's colorway inspired by?

The colorway pays homage to the original 2005 release, featuring the classic University Red and white university-inspired palette.

Are these shoes made of synthetic or real leather?

The product features a high-quality leather upper construction.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box during use

Creasing is a natural characteristic of premium leather; using plastic or foam shoe trees when not in use helps maintain the shape.

Surface scuffs on the red or white sections

Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft brush with a leather-safe cleaning solution to gently buff out minor scuffs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile, timeless design that pairs easily with casual attire
  • High-quality leather construction offers long-term durability
  • Padded low-top design ensures comfort for all-day use
  • Iconic color blocking maintains high collector appeal

Cons

  • White leather surfaces are prone to showing dirt and scuffs
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh-based athletic shoes
  • May require a brief break-in period for the leather to soften

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shoes feature a classic leather construction, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan.

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dust accumulation. Use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers to remove tougher stains.
  2. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to dry out or discolor.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray compatible with leather to shield the white base from environmental debris.
  4. Fit: These shoes follow standard adult sizing. Ensure you verify your UK foot size before purchase for the most accurate fit.
