FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Nike SB Dunk Low Futura Laboratories Bleached Aqua?

The design is a collaboration with legendary graffiti artist Futura, inspired by his distinctive abstract street art style, bringing a unique artistic element to the classic SB Dunk silhouette.

Are these sneakers suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, they are part of the Nike SB line, designed with features like a durable canvas upper, responsive cushioning, and a stable low-profile outsole that provide functionality and performance for skateboarding.

What does 'Bleached Aqua' refer to in the colorway?

'Bleached Aqua' refers to the dominant blue tones used in the sneaker's color palette, complemented by Geode Teal and White, reflecting Futura's artistic application of color.

How should I clean the canvas upper?

Gently clean the canvas with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the material to prevent damage and preserve the artwork.

What is the significance of the 'FL' emblem and Futura's signature?

The 'FL' emblem represents Futura Laboratories, and Futura's signature are distinct marks of the artist's involvement, signifying this as a special collaborative release.

Where can I find other sizes for this shoe?

You can check the 'variant siblings' section of the product listing for other available sizes. Given it's a collaborative release, availability may vary.

What was the original retail price and release date?

The Nike SB Dunk Low Futura Laboratories Bleached Aqua retailed for $135 and was released on May 18, 2024.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the size chart provided by Nike and compare with the specific UK sizing of the product. If purchased online, check the variant siblings for alternative sizes. Proper lacing can also adjust fit.

Color bleeding or fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth instead of soaking. Water-repellent sprays designed for canvas can offer some protection.

Sole detachment or wear

For minor separation, specialized shoe adhesives can be used. Significant sole wear from skateboarding may be a sign of the shoe reaching the end of its functional lifespan for intense use. Regular cleaning helps prolong material life.

Canvas creasing or damage

Creasing is natural with wear. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when not in use. For minor tears or scuffs, professional shoe repair services may offer solutions, though canvas is prone to wear in high-friction areas.

Cons

  • Potential difficulty in acquiring due to limited release.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a footwear product, these sneakers require no assembly or technical setup. Simply lace them up and wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the canvas and overlay areas, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt and grime. Avoid soaking the material.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean the rubber midsole and translucent outsole with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Stubborn marks can be tackled with a magic eraser.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry.
  • Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
