FAQs
What makes the 'Industrial Blue Sashiko' unique?
The 'Industrial Blue Sashiko' is distinguished by its design inspired by traditional Japanese sashiko stitching, which features prominent decorative stitching on the toe box and heel, adding a unique texture and visual detail to the classic Dunk Low silhouette.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While the Dunk Low silhouette originated from basketball, the 'Industrial Blue Sashiko' model is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. It offers comfort for everyday wear but is not optimized for high-impact athletic performance.
What material is the shoe made of?
The sneaker features a combination of materials, including leather for overlays and structure, and textile elements, particularly around the toe box and heel where the sashiko stitching is present.
How should I clean the sashiko stitching?
Gently use a soft brush with a mild cleaning solution to clean around the stitching. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive moisture to prevent damage to the threads.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a dust bag to maintain their shape and protect the materials.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the leather and rubber components offer some protection, these are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials and stitching.
What sizes are available?
The Nike Dunk Low 'Industrial Blue Sashiko' is available in various adult sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific size availability, such as UK 10.5 as indicated.
Troubleshooting
Slight scuffs or marks on leather
Use a leather cleaner or a damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner might help restore the finish.
Dirt trapped in stitching
Use a soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush) with a small amount of mild soap and water to carefully clean around the sashiko stitches.
Uneven lacing
Loosen the laces completely and re-lace the shoe, ensuring even tension across all eyelets for a comfortable and secure fit.
