FAQs

What does 'acid wash' mean in the context of these sneakers?

The acid wash effect refers to the distressed, faded graphic overlays on the upper, designed to give the shoes a worn-in, vintage appearance.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

No, these are lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and streetwear. They are not engineered for athletic performance.

How do I clean the tie-dye pattern?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a very mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to preserve the pattern.

What is the material of the shoe?

The upper is primarily made of leather, with rubber for the sole.

When did the Nike Dunk High 1985 Orange Blue release?

This model was released in February of 2022.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces can be replaced with standard shoelaces. Consider a color that complements the shoe's design.

Do the yellowed soles indicate a defect?

No, the yellowed soles are a deliberate design choice to enhance the vintage aesthetic of the sneaker and are not a sign of a defect.

Troubleshooting

Uneven coloration on graphic overlays

This is an intentional design feature of the 'acid wash' effect, intended to provide a vintage and unique look to each pair. It is not a defect.

Scuffs or marks on the yellowed sole

Minor scuffs can often be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Deep scratches may be more permanent due to the aged finish.

Discomfort on first wear

Leather can require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure the correct size has been selected.

Care:

  • Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
