FAQs

What inspired the 'Purple Lobster' design?

The 'Purple Lobster' design is inspired by rare, genetically mutated purple lobsters found in nature, continuing the 'Lobster' theme established in previous Nike SB collaborations.

Are these shoes good for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the Nike SB Dunk Low silhouette is designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring durable materials, good cushioning, and a supportive sole for board feel and impact protection.

Can I guarantee I will receive the blue laces?

Due to limited availability during the original release, the inclusion of specific accessory laces, such as the blue ones, cannot be guaranteed.

How should I clean the plaid lining?

The plaid lining can be carefully cleaned with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid over-soaking the material.

What is the material of the shoe?

The primary material of the Nike SB Dunk Low 'Purple Lobster' is premium leather.

What size is this guide referring to?

This guide is specifically for the Nike SB Dunk Low 'Purple Lobster' in a UK size 8.

Are there other colorways in the 'Lobster' series?

Yes, the 'Lobster' series has included other colorways such as Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green, often released in limited quantities.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A small amount of powder may also help.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with new, durable laces. Consider using wax-coated laces for added strength and to reduce slippage.

Discoloration on leather

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap if necessary. For stubborn marks, specialized leather cleaners can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on outsole

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris and dirt. For significant wear, professional sole repair might be considered, though this is uncommon for collector's items.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and highly collectible design.
  • Premium materials offer durability and comfort.
  • Distinctive thematic details that stand out.
  • Iconic SB Dunk silhouette provides a comfortable fit.
  • Appeals to both sneaker collectors and skaters.

Cons

  • Limited availability can make them hard to acquire.
  • Higher resale value may be a barrier for some.
  • The unique colorway may not suit all personal styles.
  • Inclusion of specific laces (like blue) cannot be guaranteed.
  • Primarily a lifestyle or collector's item, may not be ideal for heavy daily skating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Lacing is the primary setup step. If the shoe came with multiple lace options, choose the color that best complements your style or the desired look. For optimal fit, ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to allow for foot flex.

Compatibility: The SB Dunk Low 'Purple Lobster' is designed for casual wear and skateboarding. Its sizing is standard for Nike adult footwear. It is compatible with various casual outfits, from jeans to shorts.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the leather upper, clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the suede or nubuck accents, use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
