FAQs

What makes the 'Orange Acid Wash' pattern unique?

The acid wash process is applied to each shoe individually, resulting in a unique tie-dye effect. This means no two pairs of the Nike Dunk High 1985 'Orange Acid Wash' will be identical.

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and streetwear use. For rigorous athletic performance, specialized sports footwear is recommended.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to Nike's official sizing charts, paying close attention to the UK adult foot size. It is also advisable to check reviews for any specific feedback on the fit of this particular model.

What is the material of the trainers?

The upper is primarily made of leather, with rubber used for the outsole and midsole components.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, the acid wash pattern, and the structural integrity of the shoe.

What does '1985' in the product name signify?

The '1985' refers to the original year the Nike Dunk High silhouette was first released, highlighting the vintage-inspired design of this reissue.

Troubleshooting

Soles appear to be yellowing unevenly.

The yellowed soles are part of the vintage aesthetic. Minor variations in color are normal. For significant discoloration, consult specialized shoe care products designed for vintage soles.

Acid wash pattern seems to fade after cleaning.

Ensure you are using a very mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, especially on the patterned areas. Allow shoes to air dry naturally.

Discomfort or rubbing at the ankle.

Ensure the laces are tied appropriately to provide a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.
