FAQs

Are these shoes good for professional skateboarding?

While designed with skateboarding in mind (SB), the 'Purple Lobster' is a highly sought-after collector's item. For professional-level, intense skateboarding, dedicated performance skate shoes might offer more specialized features. However, they are durable and suitable for recreational skating.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

What makes the 'Purple Lobster' edition special?

The 'Purple Lobster' is a rare and iconic collaboration between Nike SB and Concepts, celebrated for its unique design, colorway, and legendary status within sneaker culture. It's a reinterpretation of a previously released lobster-themed shoe.

Can I wear these with any outfit?

Absolutely. The bold purple colorway makes them a statement piece that pairs well with casual outfits like jeans, shorts, and hoodies, adding a unique flair to your style.

What is the main difference between SB Dunk Low and regular Dunk Low?

SB Dunk Low models typically feature enhanced padding (tongue, collar), a more robust lacing system, and specialized outsole designs tailored for skateboarding, offering better cushioning and board feel compared to standard Dunk Lows.

What size should I get if I'm usually a UK 6 in other Nike shoes?

The Nike x Concepts SB Dunk Low 'Purple Lobster' generally runs true to size for most wearers. If you are a UK 6 in other Nike models, a UK 6 in this shoe should provide a similar fit. However, personal preference for snugness or roominess can vary.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try flexing the shoe gently or applying a small amount of talcum powder between the tongue and the shoe lining.

Uneven wear on the sole

Ensure you are using the correct shoe for the intended activity. For skateboarding, consistent use will naturally lead to wear patterns. Rotate with other footwear if primarily used for skating.

Color transfer from purple leather

In rare cases, the dye may transfer to lighter socks, especially when wet. Ensure shoes are dry and consider wearing darker socks initially. Protect from prolonged exposure to moisture.

Compatibility: The SB Dunk Low is designed for a wide range of foot types, particularly those suited to a standard low-top shoe profile. It is compatible with most skateboarding setups and pairs well with various casual attire.

Care: To maintain the premium look and longevity of your 'Purple Lobster' Dunks:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources. Do not use a machine dryer.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and damage. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
