FAQs

What makes the 'Undercover' collaboration special?

The 'Undercover' collaboration introduces unique design elements, such as the 'CHAOS' and 'GLEICHGEWICHT' (German for 'BALANCE') text on the heel, reflecting the brand's philosophy of embracing contrasting ideas.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While they are based on an athletic silhouette (Dunk High), they are primarily designed as lifestyle and fashion sneakers. For high-impact sports, dedicated performance athletic shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the different leather textures?

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For the tumbled leather, a soft brush can help lift dirt from the texture. For the smooth leather, a leather cleaner and conditioner are recommended.

What does the '1985' in the name signify?

The '1985' refers to the original release year of the Dunk silhouette, indicating that these shoes are a faithful reissue or inspired by that specific era's design with some modern updates like elongated collars.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to prevent damage and discoloration.

What is the best way to store these sneakers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight or high humidity, which can degrade the leather over time.

Are there other colorways or collaborations for the Dunk High 1985 model?

Yes, the Dunk High 1985 model has been released in various colorways and collaborations. This specific model is part of a collaboration with Undercover.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather cleaner or a cream polish matching the shoe's color. Ensure proper storage to minimize creasing.

Slightly tight fit

Leather will stretch over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If persistent, consider using a shoe stretcher or thicker socks to gently expand the fit.

Discoloration from cleaning

Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Use products specifically designed for black leather and avoid harsh chemicals.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains on the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Lacing: Adjust laces for a comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can strain the eyelets.
