FAQs

What makes the 'Purple Lobster' unique?

The 'Purple Lobster' is unique due to its rare purple colorway, inspired by genetic lobster color variations, and its collaboration with Concepts, featuring thematic details like plaid lining and a forefoot band.

Is this shoe suitable for professional skateboarding?

How should I clean the plaid inner lining?

The plaid inner lining can be gently cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Avoid saturating the material. Ensure it dries completely before storing.

Can I adjust the elastic band on the forefoot?

The elastic band is a design element and is not intended to be adjusted for fit. It is part of the shoe's thematic construction.

Prior to the 'Purple Lobster', Nike SB and Concepts released the 'Red Lobster' and 'Blue Lobster' SB Dunks, each with unique colorways and thematic details.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize, avoid excessive bending of the foot and store with shoe trees. Professional shoe repair services can sometimes address significant creasing.

Scuff marks on the sole or midsole

Use a magic eraser or a melamine foam sponge with a small amount of water to gently scrub away scuff marks from rubber soles and midsoles.

Discoloration of the purple upper

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause fading. Store in a dark place when not in use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution, applying it gently with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe display case to protect from dust and UV damage.
  4. Laces: Clean laces separately by hand washing with mild soap.

*Note: Excessive wear for actual skateboarding may lead to increased wear and tear on the unique materials.*
