FAQs
Is the Nike Dunk High SE true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer going up a half size.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While they originated as basketball shoes, modern Dunk Highs are primarily intended for lifestyle use and lack the advanced cushioning found in contemporary athletic trainers.
How should I clean the gold lace jewel?
Wipe it gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals as they may strip the metallic finish.
What does 'SE' mean?
SE stands for Special Edition, indicating this model features unique design elements or materials not found on standard releases.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can swap the laces, but note that the lace jewel is specific to the original aesthetic; ensure any replacement laces are thin enough to fit through the jewel if you choose to keep it attached.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to maintain the shape and reduce deep creasing in the toe box.
Scuffs on the leather surface
Gently buff the area with a leather-safe cleaner or a matching red cream polish to mask surface imperfections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, keep your sneakers in a climate-controlled area away from direct sunlight, which can fade the University Red dye. When cleaning the leather, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. For compatibility, these sneakers feature standard lacing, though the included gold jewel is best kept secure during active use. Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the upper from cracking over time.
