FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the 'Purple Lobster' design?

The 'Purple Lobster' design is inspired by rare, naturally occurring purple lobsters, which are found due to genetic abnormalities. This theme extends the popular 'Lobster' series collaboration.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the Nike x Concepts SB Dunk Low 'Purple Lobster' is primarily made of high-quality leather.

Are the blue laces guaranteed to be included?

No, due to limited availability during the initial release, the inclusion of the blue laces cannot be guaranteed with every pair.

What year did these sneakers release?

These sneakers were released in December 2018.

What is the original retail price?

The original retail price for the Nike x Concepts SB Dunk Low 'Purple Lobster' was $130 USD.

How should I clean these shoes?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a leather cleaner may be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct heat for drying.

Is this shoe suitable for professional skateboarding?

While it is an SB Dunk Low model, its rarity and collectible status mean many owners prefer to keep them in pristine condition rather than using them for intense skateboarding.

Troubleshooting

Laces not included

The blue laces were noted as having limited availability during the original release. If they are missing, this is not a defect but a consequence of the original distribution. Consider sourcing similar laces separately.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize creasing, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage. If creasing occurs, it is a sign of the shoe being worn and enjoyed.

Color transfer from plaid lining

While unlikely with proper care, if color transfer is observed, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid prolonged contact between the inner lining and lighter-colored socks or materials, especially when new or damp.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly collectible due to its rarity and unique 'Lobster' theme.
  • Distinctive and eye-catching design with premium materials.
  • Celebrates a significant collaboration in sneaker culture.
  • Comfortable SB Dunk Low silhouette suitable for casual wear.
  • Features unique details like the plaid lining and forefoot band.

Cons

  • Limited availability can make acquisition difficult and expensive.
  • May not be suitable for actual skateboarding due to its collectible nature and potential value.
  • The bright purple color may not appeal to all style preferences.
  • Specific accessories (e.g., blue laces) may not always be included.
  • Requires careful cleaning and maintenance to preserve its condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sneakers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. If your pair includes additional laces (like the blue laces mentioned in the description), you can choose to swap them out to alter the shoe's appearance.

Compatibility:

This is a footwear product designed for adult wear. It is compatible with standard clothing sizes and styles.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the leather or the unique finish.
  • Lining: The plaid inner lining can be gently cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the shoe dries naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Soles: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape over time.
