FAQs

What inspired the 'Purple Lobster' design?

The design is inspired by rare, genetically abnormal lobsters found in nature that exhibit unusual color variations, specifically shades of purple, deviating from the typical red or blue lobster colorways.

Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the Nike SB Dunk Low 'Purple Lobster' is built on a skateboarding-specific platform, offering durability, cushioning, and board feel necessary for skateboarding.

What does 'Concepts' refer to?

Concepts is a renowned sneaker boutique and brand that frequently collaborates with Nike to create unique and themed footwear designs.

How do I clean the purple suede/leather parts?

For general cleaning, use a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, applied gently. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Is the elastic band on the forefoot adjustable?

The elastic band is integrated into the shoe's design for a snug fit and is not adjustable. It is intended to provide additional lockdown.

What is the typical sizing for Nike SB Dunks?

Nike SB Dunks generally fit true to size for most users, offering a comfortable fit suitable for skateboarding and casual wear. However, personal preference can vary.

What does 'OG QS' stand for?

'OG' typically refers to an original or classic design, while 'QS' stands for 'Quickstrike', indicating a limited release model.

Troubleshooting

Laces not included

The product description notes that due to limited availability during the release, the inclusion of blue laces could not be guaranteed. If blue laces were not received, this is an expected outcome based on the release conditions.

Squeaking sound

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole or tongue. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a dryer sheet under the insole to reduce friction.

Color transfer from plaid lining

In rare cases, the dye from the plaid lining might transfer. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or materials, especially when the shoes are new or damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure the fit is comfortable; the elastic forefoot band offers a secure feel right out of the box. If the included blue laces are desired and available, they can be swapped in for a different look.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for skateboarding, the SB Dunk Low is compatible with most skateboards. For casual wear, they pair well with a variety of streetwear styles.

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

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Materials: The leather and suede uppers can be treated with protective sprays designed for these materials to guard against water and stains.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade colors.
