FAQs
What makes the 'Orange Acid Wash' pattern unique?
The 'Orange Acid Wash' pattern features a distinctive tie-dye effect achieved through an acid wash treatment, giving each pair a slightly unique visual appearance that celebrates a vintage aesthetic.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and streetwear use. While they offer comfort and support for everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-impact athletic performance.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles to maintain the condition of the trainers.
What is the sizing like for the Nike Dunk High 1985?
Sizing for Nike trainers can vary slightly. It is recommended to consult the official Nike size guide and measure your foot for the most accurate fit. Some users find they run true to size, while others suggest going up half a size if between sizes.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide good traction and longevity for everyday wear.
Does the tie-dye pattern fade over time?
Like many dyed fabrics and materials, the tie-dye pattern can fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and frequent washing. Proper care and storage can help preserve the color intensity.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you have consulted a sizing chart and measured your foot correctly. Different releases or specific models might have slight variations. If purchased online, check the return policy for exchanges.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure the shoes fit correctly and avoid over-tightening laces. Stuffing them with shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
Discoloration of the acid wash pattern
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as it can fade the colors. Clean with a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner only. Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaning agents.
Sole feels stiff
New trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the sole to flex and conform to your foot's natural movement.
