Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High generally fits true to size for most adults, though you may prefer a half-size up if you wear thicker socks.
Can I replace the gold Swoosh lace jewel?
Yes, the lace jewel is removable by unlacing the shoes, allowing you to customize the look or clean the area more easily.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is durable, but it is not waterproof; avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water damage.
How should I clean the woven tongue tag?
Use a soft, dry brush to gently remove dust from the tag to avoid damaging the woven fibers.
Does this model come in other colors?
The 'First Use' series features various colorways, though this specific model is characterized by its signature crimson red.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or tight upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to the shape of your foot.
Creasing on the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creasing.
Surface dirt on the white midsole
Gently wipe the midsole with a soft cloth dipped in warm, soapy water and dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers arrive with specialized laces and decorative hardware, ensure the gold lace jewel is centered before tightening. To maintain the premium leather finish, avoid exposure to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals. Clean the surface using a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the crimson color from fading over time. When pairing, the vibrant red works best with muted colors to allow the shoe's unique anniversary details to remain the focus of your attire.
