FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind this shoe?
The Nike SB Dunk High Pro is inspired by the friendship between Ishod Wair and L.A. auto enthusiast Magnus Walker, specifically referencing the design and colorway of a German sports car famous from Walker's "Urban Outlaw" film.
How does the wear-away feature work?
The white leather upper is designed to gradually wear off with use, revealing a layer of gold underneath. This creates a unique, evolving aesthetic specific to each wearer.
Is this shoe suitable for actual skateboarding?
Yes, as an SB Dunk model, it features Nike SB's signature cushioning and construction designed to provide comfort and performance for skateboarding.
What is the material of the shoe?
The primary material for the upper is high-quality leather.
Does the shoe come in other colors?
While this specific model features a white and gold wear-away design, the Nike SB Dunk line has many colorways and variations available. This particular collaboration is focused on this unique aesthetic.
How should I clean the tartan plaid lining?
The lining can be spot-cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the interior is completely dry before wearing the shoes again.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear-away on the leather.
This is a natural characteristic of the design. If specific areas are wearing faster than desired, gentle abrasion with a soft brush can help even the appearance. Consistent wear will naturally create a unique pattern over time.
Creasing on the leather.
Creasing is normal for leather footwear, especially after use. To minimize its appearance, use shoe trees when storing the sneakers and avoid over-tightening laces.
Discoloration of the gold layer.
The gold layer is part of the design's effect. If significant unwanted discoloration occurs, it may be due to environmental factors. Ensure proper storage and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.
