Nike Dunk High Pro Decon SB - Gorge Green - Trainers - UK 9

Yes, the Nike Dunk High Pro Decon SB series is designed with features like enhanced durability, grip, and ankle support specifically for skateboarding.

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher spots, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.

The 'Decon' (deconstructed) versions often feature a simpler, cleaner construction with fewer overlays, aiming for a lighter feel and a more minimalist aesthetic, while retaining core skate features.

'SB' stands for 'Skateboarding'. Nike SB is Nike's division dedicated to producing skate shoes and apparel.

While durable, these trainers are specifically designed for skateboarding. They may not offer the optimal cushioning, support, or flexibility required for activities like running.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

The outsole is made of Gum Light-Brown rubber, known for its excellent grip and durability, especially on skateboards.

Ensure the gum outsole is clean from debris. For slicker surfaces, the natural grip of the rubber may have limitations. Consider dedicated indoor skate shoes if primarily skating indoors on smooth surfaces.

This is normal for new leather skate shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, and they will gradually break in and become more comfortable and flexible.

Dye from new leather can sometimes transfer, especially when wet. This is usually temporary. Washing socks separately for the first few wears can help.
