FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skating?

Yes, they are designed as part of the Nike SB series, which includes features like a padded tongue for impact protection and a durable outsole.

How does the sizing run for the Dunk Low?

The Nike Dunk Low generally runs true to size, though the padded tongue may make the fit feel slightly more snug than other models.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the premium leather and nubuck materials. Always clean by hand using appropriate products.

What is the primary material used?

This model features a combination of premium leather and nubuck, ensuring both durability and a luxury aesthetic.

Does the elephant print fade over time?

With proper care and storage, the print is durable and designed to retain its look; avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning pads.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on nubuck overlays

Use a dry nubuck eraser or a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the material's nap.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use plastic or cedar shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creasing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive elephant print visual appeal
  • High-quality leather and nubuck construction
  • Comfortable padded tongue suitable for all-day wear
  • Durable outsole provides excellent traction

Cons

  • Material blend requires specific cleaning methods
  • Lighter areas of the shoe are susceptible to staining
  • Higher maintenance requirements than standard synthetic trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike SB Dunks remain in top condition, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a professional-grade sneaker protectant spray suitable for leather and nubuck before your first wear to repel dirt and moisture.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the nubuck sections. For the leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the nubuck areas as this can cause discoloration.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the jade accents from fading over time.
  4. Lacing: Ensure the laces are adjusted comfortably; the padded tongue is thick, so you may need slightly looser lacing than a standard trainer for the best fit.
