FAQs
What is the significance of the Nike SB Darwin Low Supreme Black?
This shoe is a limited-edition collaboration that celebrates the 30th anniversary of the original Nike Air Darwin, notable for its backward Swoosh design. It merges skate-inspired elements with classic Nike heritage.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from durable canvas, offering a classic look and feel with good breathability.
How is the cushioning provided?
The shoe features a lightweight Phylon midsole that incorporates an air unit, providing responsive cushioning for comfort.
Is this shoe suitable for serious skateboarding?
While it has a durable rubber outsole for grip, it's primarily designed as a lifestyle and streetwear shoe with skate influences. For advanced or professional skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes might offer more specialized features.
How should I clean the canvas upper?
Gently clean the canvas with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the shoe.
What does 'limited-edition' mean for this product?
It means the shoe was produced in a restricted quantity and is no longer in regular production. This can make it harder to find and may affect its resale value.
What is the origin of the backward Swoosh?
The backward Swoosh was a distinctive design feature of the original Nike Air Darwin released in 1994, and this collaboration pays homage to that iconic element.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the shoe
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and inserting a thin piece of paper or powder to reduce friction. Ensure the insole is properly seated.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. If persistent, consider using thicker or thinner socks, or consult a shoe fitting specialist.

Care Instructions:
