How is the Dunk High 1985 different from the regular Dunk High?

It follows the original 1985 Dunk shape, so the collar is taller and the profile more upright. The build is generally heavier and stiffer than the modern Dunk High.

Does the Dunk High 1985 fit true to size?

The 1985 shape runs close to standard Nike sizing, but the stiff leather and padded collar make it feel snug at first. Try your usual Dunk size and allow break-in time.

Yes. The upper is leather with an aged, vintage-style finish rather than smooth, uniform leather.

Can I wear these for basketball?

They are a retro lifestyle sneaker. The padding and rubber outsole give support, but modern basketball shoes offer far more cushioning and traction.

How should I care for the aged leather?

Wipe with a soft damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners that can strip the finish. Air-dry away from direct heat.

Our take on the Women's Dunk High 1985

The Nike Dunk High 1985 is a high-top leather sneaker built on the original 1985 Dunk shape, with a taller collar and a more upright profile than the standard Dunk High. This version uses an aged-look leather upper with a padded high-top collar, perforated toe box and Nike branding. It suits sneaker collectors and fans of retro basketball styling who want a chunkier, vintage-leaning Dunk. Against the regular Dunk High, it is heavier and stiffer out of the box, and the aged finish is a deliberate look some wearers like and others find busy.
