FAQs
What makes this shoe special compared to other Nike SB Dunks?
The Nike SB Dunk High Pro QS Banshee is special due to its unique collaboration with the Gundam franchise, inspired by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee, featuring distinct design elements and colorways not found on standard SB Dunk models.
Is this shoe suitable for actual skateboarding?
Yes, the Nike SB Dunk High is designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring a durable build, supportive padding, and a grippy outsole. However, due to its collectible nature and potential price, many owners prefer to keep them for casual wear or display.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Always allow to air dry naturally and avoid harsh chemicals.
What does 'Pro QS' stand for?
'Pro' typically indicates a model designed with enhanced features for skateboarding performance. 'QS' stands for 'Quickstrike,' denoting a limited-release product, often with special collaborations or colorways.
Are there other colorways or versions of this Gundam collaboration?
Yes, Nike and Gundam have collaborated on other SB Dunk models, including different colorways and variations inspired by other Gundam units, such as the 'Project Unicorn' series.
What is the sizing like for these shoes?
Nike SB Dunks generally fit true to size for most people. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts based on your usual sneaker size.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Natural leather creasing is normal with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and avoid over-tightening laces.
Difficulty lacing tightly
Ensure laces are threaded evenly. If still difficult, try replacing with thinner or waxed laces for better grip.
Scuffs on the leather
Use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner to address minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional leather restoration might be necessary.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur between the tongue and laces. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a dry lubricant under the tongue.
