FAQs

What does "Gleichgewicht" mean?

"Gleichgewicht" is German for "Balance," complementing the "CHAOS" print on the heel and reflecting the duality theme of the collaboration.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

While built on a performance-inspired silhouette, these are primarily fashion trainers. They offer good comfort and grip for everyday activities but are not designed for intense athletic training.

How do I clean the different leather types on the shoe?

Use a soft, damp cloth for smooth leather. For tumbled or textured leather, a suede brush is recommended. Always use specialized leather cleaners and conditioners sparingly and test in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the release date of the Nike x Undercover Dunk High 1985 'Chaos - Black'?

These sneakers were released in March 2022.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, wearing socks is recommended for comfort and to prevent potential color transfer from the leather to your skin, especially when the shoes are new.

Is this a limited edition release?

As a collaboration between Nike and Undercover, this model is typically produced in limited quantities, making it a sought-after item for collectors.

What UK size does a US size 10 typically correspond to?

A US men's size 10 generally corresponds to a UK men's size 9. However, it is always best to consult a Nike size chart for precise conversions.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces. For significant creasing, consider professional leather restoration.

Squeaking sound

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction. Try dusting the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or cornstarch, or checking if the insole is properly seated.

Stiff collar

The elongated collar may feel stiff initially. Gently flex the collar area with your hands before wearing. Wearing the shoes regularly for short periods will help break them in.

Color transfer

Dark dyed leather can sometimes transfer color, especially when new or wet. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until the shoes have been worn a few times or treated with a color-blocking spray.
