FAQs

What does 'Orange Acid Wash' refer to?

It refers to the distinctive tie-dye effect applied to the upper of the shoe, giving it a vintage, washed-out appearance with orange and blue hues.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for fashion and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

How should I clean the leather and dyed sections?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth and use a mild leather cleaner for the leather parts. Avoid soaking the shoes or using abrasive cleaning tools.

Will the color fade over time?

Like many dyed materials, the intensity of the color may naturally evolve with wear and exposure to elements. Proper care can help maintain the appearance.

What does the "1985" in the name signify?

The "1985" refers to the year the original Nike Dunk silhouette was released, highlighting the retro inspiration of this model.

Can I expect the pattern to be exactly like the picture?

Due to the nature of the acid wash process, each pair will have a unique pattern. While the color scheme and general appearance will be consistent, the exact placement and intensity of the wash will vary.

Troubleshooting

Color bleeding onto socks or other clothing

This can occur with dyed materials. Wear darker socks and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If bleeding occurs, wash the affected garment immediately.

Creasing on the leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather shoes and indicates they are being worn. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when not in use.

Unevenness in the acid wash pattern

The "acid wash" effect is intentionally designed to be unique and may vary between pairs. This variation is a characteristic of the design, not a defect.

Care Instructions:
