FAQs
Does the Nike Dunk High First Use run true to size?
Yes, this model generally follows standard Nike sizing; however, since it is a high-top, some users prefer a half-size larger for extra room.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The suede overlays can be easily damaged by moisture and may stain if exposed to heavy rain.
Are the lace jewels removable?
Yes, the gold Swoosh lace jewel is attached to the laces and can be removed or repositioned as desired.
What is the primary material used on the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from leather, with added suede overlays for texture.
How do I identify if these are the anniversary edition?
The anniversary edition features the 'First use June 18, 1971' text on the lateral side and the commemorative gold lace jewel.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots on the suede
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap after the material has completely air-dried.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Insert shoe trees when the sneakers are not in use to help the leather maintain its shape.
Lace jewel feels loose
Ensure the lace jewel is centered securely on the laces; if it persists, you may remove it during strenuous activity to avoid loss.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the appearance of your Nike Dunk Highs, ensure they are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Given the material composition of leather and suede, it is recommended to use a protective spray designed for mixed-material footwear before your first outing. For cleaning, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt from the suede portions and a damp microfiber cloth with mild soap for the leather panels. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural integrity of the leather and the adhesives used in the sole.
