Product Information

Full details

The Nike Dunk High 1985 'Orange Acid Wash' trainers are designed for adults who appreciate retro streetwear with a unique aesthetic. Their key benefit lies in their distinctive vintage appeal and comfortable leather construction, making them a standout piece for casual wear. A potential caveat is that the acid wash pattern is unique to each pair, meaning no two shoes are exactly alike. This model features a cream leather upper with striking washed-out orange and blue graphic overlays, a bold orange Swoosh, and yellowed soles for an authentic retro feel.

FAQs

What makes the 'Orange Acid Wash' unique?

Each pair features a distinct tie-dye inspired acid wash pattern on the overlays, meaning no two shoes are identical. This variation is a deliberate design element.

What materials are these trainers made of?

The Nike Dunk High 1985 'Orange Acid Wash' features a leather upper and overlays, with a rubber outsole.

Are these suitable for sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and durability, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.

How should I clean the acid wash pattern?

Gently wipe the affected areas with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this could alter or damage the unique pattern.

Do the yellowed soles indicate age or defect?

No, the yellowed soles are a deliberate design choice to enhance the vintage aesthetic of the sneaker, mimicking aged soles found on classic models.

What is the fit like for the Dunk High 1985?

The Dunk High 1985 generally offers a standard fit. However, due to the leather material, they may require a short break-in period to achieve optimal comfort.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Uneven Acid Wash Pattern

The acid wash effect is intentionally unique to each pair, resulting in natural variations. This is a characteristic of the design and not a defect.

Leather Creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially after wear. It adds to the character of the shoe over time. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing.

Squeaking Sound

If the shoes squeak, try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a specialized shoe lubricant between the insole and midsole, or where the tongue rubs against the laces.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner.
  • Cleaning the Overlays and Midsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the graphic overlays and midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
