FAQs
How should I clean the suede on my Nike Dunk Lows?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the texture. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, applied sparingly, can be effective. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first and brush in one direction.
Are these trainers suitable for all weather conditions?
While durable, the suede material is sensitive to moisture. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or very wet conditions to preserve the quality of the suede. For light moisture, a protective spray designed for both suede and leather can be applied.
Are Nike Dunk Lows true to size?
Generally, Nike Dunk Lows are considered true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly based on foot shape. If unsure, checking Nike's official size guide or trying them on is recommended for the best fit.
What materials are these specific trainers made from?
This model, the Nike Dunk Low Retro SE, features a premium blend of suede and leather overlays in a black colourway, contributing to both its iconic look and durability.
Can I use these trainers for basketball or other sports?
While inspired by 80s basketball shoes, the Nike Dunk Low Retro SE is now primarily a lifestyle trainer. It is best suited for casual wear, streetwear, and light urban activities rather than high-performance sports.
How can I maintain the shape of my trainers when not wearing them?
To help maintain the shape and prevent excessive creasing, we recommend using shoe trees when storing your trainers. This also helps absorb moisture and keep them fresh.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Nike Dunks typically require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet. Thicker socks can also help during this phase.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are using a double knot for added security, especially during active periods. If laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new ones that have more grip.
Shoes develop an odor.
Allow shoes to air out regularly after wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or odor-absorbing inserts. Ensure socks are clean and made from breathable materials.
Visible creasing on the toe box or upper.
Regular wear will naturally cause some creasing. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing your trainers. Specialized 'crease protectors' can also be inserted into the toe box.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your Nike Dunk Low Retro SE Trainers.
- Suede Areas: Use a specialized, soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots or stains, a suede eraser or cleaner designed specifically for suede can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive rubbing.
- Leather Overlays: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water). Gently wipe the leather, then pat dry. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Soles: Clean rubber soles with a brush and soapy water to remove dirt and grime.
- General Tips:
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both suede and leather to protect against elements.
- Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
