FAQs
Is the Nike Dunk High SE suitable for gym workouts?
While the shoe is durable, it is designed for casual lifestyle use. It lacks the technical support and ventilation found in performance-specific training shoes.
Does the leather require special maintenance?
Yes, it is recommended to use a high-quality leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
What is the significance of the text on the lateral side?
The text 'First use June 18, 1971' commemorates the date the first official Nike Swoosh was created.
Can I replace the gold lace jewel?
Yes, the lace jewel is removable; however, it is a key piece of the anniversary aesthetic, so keep it in a safe place if you choose to remove it.
How does the sizing compare to other Nike models?
The Nike Dunk High generally fits true to size, but those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up for increased comfort.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Use internal shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help the leather regain its shape.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a lightly damp cloth followed by a leather conditioner.
Lace jewel feels loose
Check that the lace jewel is centered properly and that the laces are pulled taut through the eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Dunk High SE stays in optimal condition, proper care is essential:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes can feel rigid. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to soften.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the red dye from the leather.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to protect against environmental damage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant red tones. Use a shoe tree to help maintain the structure of the high-top ankle.
