What material are these shoes made of?

The Nike SB Dunk Low 'Purple Lobster' features a premium leather upper for durability and a sophisticated feel.

Are these shoes good for actual skateboarding?

How should I clean my 'Purple Lobster' Dunks?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution for dirt. Use a soft brush for tougher spots. Always air dry and avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Are these shoes rare?

Yes, the 'Purple Lobster' is a limited edition release from a collaboration between Nike SB and Concepts, making it a sought-after collectible.

What does 'SB' stand for in Nike SB Dunk?

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe to break it in. Ensure insoles are properly seated.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar durable material. Consider wax-coated laces for added strength and easier tying.

Minor scuffs on leather

Use a leather cleaner or a damp cloth for light scuffs. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit or color-matched polish might be necessary.

Color transfer from plaid lining

This is rare but possible with friction or moisture. Ensure socks are colorfast. If transfer occurs, clean affected areas gently with a mild soap and water solution.
