FAQs
What makes the 'Orange Label' special?
The 'Orange Label' designation signifies that these shoes are often distributed exclusively to Nike SB-accredited skate shops, indicating a strong commitment to the skateboarding community.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the durability, cushioning, and board feel make them a solid choice for skaters of all levels, including beginners.
How should I clean the gum sole?
The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by a thorough wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper primarily features a premium nubuck material, known for its durability and suede-like texture.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday activities, not just skating?
Absolutely. The comfortable cushioning and classic design make them suitable for casual wear as well as skateboarding.
What is the benefit of the perforated toe area?
The perforations enhance ventilation, allowing air to circulate and keeping your feet cooler during physical activity.
When was this specific colorway released?
The Nike SB Dunk Low Orange Label Black White Gum (2019) was introduced on March 1st, 2019.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and placing a small piece of powder-free paper towel or a very thin layer of talcum powder underneath it.
Reduced grip on the sole
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean. Dirt and debris can accumulate and reduce traction. Wipe it down with a damp cloth.
Discomfort during initial wear
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially and gradually increase duration as they mold to your feet.
Material scuffs or wear
Minor scuffs on nubuck can sometimes be brushed out. For significant wear from skating, consider it a sign of use and continue to clean and care for the rest of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for skateboarding and general athletic wear. They are compatible with most skateboards and are suitable for various skateboarding disciplines.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the nubuck upper, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the material.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the EVA midsole and gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth. A mild soap can be used for stubborn marks, but rinse thoroughly.
- Laces: Remove laces for cleaning or replacement. Hand wash laces with mild soap and water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shoe's shape.
