FAQs

Are these shoes made from real leather?

No, the Nike Dunk Low Next Nature uses Nike's Flyleather, which is a synthetic leather made with at least 50% recycled leather fiber combined with synthetic materials. This contributes to the product's sustainable construction.

What is the 'Next Nature' line?

The 'Next Nature' line by Nike focuses on sustainability, typically using a minimum of 20% recycled content by weight across various parts of the product. For the Dunk Low Next Nature, this means the upper is constructed with at least 50% recycled materials.

How do I clean the neon green sockliner?

Gently wipe the sockliner with a clean, damp cloth and a very small amount of mild soap if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely before wearing again. Avoid soaking the shoe or using harsh chemicals, as this could affect the color or material.

Are these suitable for sports or running?

The Nike Dunk Low Next Nature is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual fashion sneaker. While comfortable for everyday walking, it is not engineered for high-performance sports or running activities.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Nike Dunk Lows generally fit true to size for most women. However, individual foot shapes vary. If you are typically between sizes, it's often recommended to try on the shoe or consult a detailed Nike sizing guide. This specific model is UK 5 (Women's).

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the synthetic Flyleather offers some water resistance, these sneakers are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or standing puddles to protect the materials and prolong the shoe's lifespan. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for synthetic footwear can offer additional protection.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check if it's coming from the outsole, which might indicate a material issue.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size (this model is UK 5 for women). New synthetic leather shoes may require a short break-in period; wear them for short durations around the house. If discomfort persists, try adjusting your lacing technique, such as loosening the laces over the forefoot.

Stains on the Flyleather upper

For fresh stains, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher or dried stains, use a dedicated synthetic leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth, gently rub the stained area, then wipe off with a separate damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.

White soles becoming discolored or dirty

Clean the soles regularly with a mild soap and water solution or a specialized sneaker sole cleaner. A soft brush can help scrub away dirt and grime. For stubborn discoloration, a white shoe cleaner specifically designed for rubber soles can be effective, but use sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-Friendly Choice: Leverages recycled materials, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.
  • Timeless Aesthetic: The 'Panda' black and white colorway is highly versatile and remains consistently in style.
  • Durable Flyleather: Offers good resistance to wear and tear for daily urban use.
  • Comfortable for Everyday Wear: Padded collar and low-top design provide comfort for extended periods.
  • Distinctive Details: Neon green accents add a subtle, modern and unique touch to the classic design.

Cons

  • Synthetic Material Perception: Some users might prefer the feel or characteristics of traditional leather over synthetic alternatives.
  • Specific Care Requirements: Synthetic materials may need particular cleaning methods to prevent damage or maintain appearance.
  • Limited Performance Use: Primarily designed for casual wear and fashion, not optimized for athletic performance or rugged outdoor conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply lace up your Nike Dunk Low Next Nature sneakers and adjust for a comfortable, secure fit. The padded collar and tongue contribute to initial comfort. For first wear, it's recommended to wear them indoors for a short period to confirm fit, though Flyleather generally requires minimal break-in time compared to traditional leather.

Compatibility

These 'Panda' style Dunks are highly versatile and complement a wide range of attire. They pair well with athleisure wear, streetwear, and casual smart outfits. Their timeless color scheme means they can match almost any color palette in your wardrobe. Consider pairing them with ankle-length socks to showcase the low-top design or with longer socks for a more retro look. They are suitable for adult women seeking a stylish and comfortable sneaker for daily fashion.

Care

To maintain the pristine look of your Flyleather and recycled polyester upper, follow these steps:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a sneaker protector spray designed for synthetic and textile materials to help repel water and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the surface with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use to remove surface dirt and dust.
  3. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically formulated for synthetic or vegan leather. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, gently scrub stained areas, and wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
  4. Drying: Air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not use a washing machine or tumble dryer.
  5. Odour Control: If needed, use shoe deodorizers or natural alternatives like baking soda sachets to keep the interior fresh.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and light, helping to maintain their shape and material integrity.
