FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Nike Chron SB 2 is designed with skateboarding in mind, offering durability and traction. While suitable for many skateboarding activities, professional-level performance may depend on individual preference for board feel and impact protection compared to more specialized pro models.
How should I clean the 'Rattan University Red' colorway?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the leather. For stains, use a mild soap solution or a leather cleaner, testing first. Allow to air dry away from heat.
What is the best way to ensure a proper fit?
It is recommended to try the shoes on before purchasing if possible. If ordering online, check reviews for feedback on sizing, as Nike SB models can sometimes vary.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe.
What type of socks are best for these shoes?
Thicker, cushioned socks designed for skateboarding or athletic wear are often recommended for comfort and impact absorption. However, standard athletic socks also work well for casual wear.
What does 'Chron SB 2' signify?
'Chron' is a model name, and 'SB' indicates Nike's 'Skateboarding' division. The '2' likely denotes a second iteration or updated version of the Chron model.
Is the leather material water-resistant?
The leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather, and ensure the shoes are properly dried afterward.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try lacing them with less tension. Wearing them for short periods can help break them in. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is significant.
Traction is reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush or damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris.
Leather shows scuffs or minor damage
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For more significant damage, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Soles feel stiff
New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Walking and gentle flexing can help soften the soles over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These shoes require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. Ensure they fit comfortably before use.
Compatibility:
Designed primarily for skateboarding and casual wear. They are compatible with most skateboarding equipment.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean dirt from the rubber sole. Ensure the sole is dry before storing.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
