FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk High SE University Red generally fits true to your standard Nike UK shoe size.
Can these be worn for basketball?
While based on basketball heritage, this model is designed as a lifestyle shoe; modern performance basketball shoes are recommended for competitive play.
What is the significance of the text on the shoe?
The text references 'First use June 18, 1971,' marking the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Nike Swoosh logo.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water.
Is the lace jewel removable?
Yes, the gold Swoosh-shaped lace jewel can be removed if you prefer a more minimalist look.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or tight
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally break in and conform to your foot shape.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the sneaker maintain its structure and reduce deep crease formation.
Dirt on the midsole
Use a soft brush or a mild soap solution on a cloth to gently wipe the rubber midsole, avoiding the leather upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK shoe size, as the Dunk High fits true to size. If you prefer a looser feel, some users may opt to leave the top eyelets unlaced. To maintain the appearance of the leather, store the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather sections; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the crimson dye. Regularly replacing the laces or using a protective spray designed for leather can help keep the sneakers looking fresh for years to come.
