FAQs

What inspired the 'Purple Lobster' design?

The design is inspired by rare, naturally occurring purple lobsters, which are genetic variations of the common lobster.

Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?

While they are Nike SB models, their collectible nature and unique design make them more suited for lifestyle wear and collection rather than intense skateboarding.

What material is the shoe made of?

The shoe features a premium leather construction for the upper.

When were these sneakers released?

These sneakers were released in December 2018.

How should I clean the purple leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher marks, a dedicated leather cleaner is recommended. Avoid excessive water.

What is the significance of the plaid lining?

The red and white plaid pattern on the lining is a distinctive design element that complements the 'Lobster' theme and adds visual interest.

Are there other 'Lobster' Dunk releases?

Yes, Nike SB and Concepts have collaborated on other 'Lobster' iterations, including red and blue versions in the past.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and minimize creasing. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Color transfer from plaid lining

While unlikely with normal wear, prolonged contact with lighter materials in humid conditions could potentially cause minor transfer. Ensure feet are dry before wearing and consider using moisture-wicking socks.

Difficulty lacing tightly

The elastic band around the forefoot is designed for a snug fit. Adjust lacing to distribute pressure evenly. If still too tight, consider alternative lacing methods or removing the band if feasible and desired.

Care Instructions:
