FAQs

What makes the Nike Air Rubber Dunk unique?

Its uniqueness stems from the collaboration with Virgil Abloh's Off-White, merging classic basketball shoe elements with running shoe design, and featuring distinctive deconstructed details like raw-edged tongues.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and comfort. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is composed of a mix of rubber, synthetic leathers, and mesh.

How should I clean the gum rubber outsole?

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a non-abrasive shoe cleaner sparingly and test in a small area first.

What is the significance of the 'deconstructed' look?

The 'deconstructed' look, characterized by elements like raw edges on the tongue, is a signature design philosophy of Virgil Abloh, adding a unique, unfinished aesthetic.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material integrity and appearance.

What is the sizing like for the Air Rubber Dunk?

Sizing generally follows standard Nike athletic shoe measurements. It's recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Material feels stiff initially

This is common with new leather and synthetic materials. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.

Discoloration on rubber elements

Minor scuffs can often be removed with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, try a specialized shoe cleaner designed for rubber, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces become dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike Air Rubber Dunk University Blue:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh, synthetic leather, and rubber surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Tongue and Deconstructed Elements: Carefully clean around the raw edges of the tongue with a soft brush to remove dust and debris.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the rubber midsole and gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher scuffs, a non-abrasive cleaning solution can be used sparingly.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and potential damage.
