FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While the design is inspired by streetball, these are classified as lifestyle sneakers and lack the specialized support and traction technology required for competitive court play.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
These shoes follow standard Nike adult sizing. We recommend checking your size in other current Nike models for the most consistent fit.
Will the translucent sole yellow over time?
Yes, like many clear or icy outsoles, they may experience oxidation over time. Proper storage away from direct sunlight can help slow this process.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather, distort the shape, and damage the iridescent Swoosh and outsole graphics. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper features a mix of nylon base materials and tumbled leather overlays.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use a plastic sneaker crease protector if you prefer to minimize this effect.
Scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized white leather eraser or a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Dirt stuck in the translucent outsole
Use an old toothbrush and warm soapy water to gently scrub the recessed areas of the outsole tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Dunk Lows remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and nylon materials before the first wear.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water to clean the leather overlays. Wipe the nylon tongue gently with a damp cloth.
- Outsole Maintenance: Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution to keep the translucent outsole clear; avoid harsh solvents that might degrade the printed graphics beneath.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white leather to yellow and the icy outsole to darken.
- Compatibility: These are standard UK adult sizes; ensure you confirm your specific fit as Nike sizing can vary slightly between models.
