FAQs

What makes the 'Purple Lobster' design unique?

The 'Purple Lobster' design is inspired by rare, genetically mutated purple lobsters. This theme is translated through the shoe's purple colorway, accented by a distinctive red and white plaid inner lining and an elastic band around the forefoot.

Are the blue laces guaranteed to be included?

Due to limited availability during the initial release, the inclusion of blue laces cannot be guaranteed with every pair.

What material is the shoe made of?

The primary material for the exoskeleton of this shoe is leather.

Is this shoe suitable for everyday skateboarding?

Yes, the Nike SB Dunk Low is built for skateboarding with durable materials and features designed for performance and comfort. However, given its collectible nature, some owners may prefer to reserve it for lighter use or display.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the significance of the elastic band?

The elastic band wrapped around the forefoot is a design element inspired by traditional running shoes and also serves to provide a more secure and locked-in fit for the wearer.

What size is this specific product listing?

This specific listing is for a UK size 6 adult male.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the standard lacing system. The elastic forefoot band provides a secure fit; if it feels restrictive, consider if the shoe size is appropriate or try wearing thinner socks.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly flexing the shoe during wear. Gentle conditioning can help maintain leather suppleness.

Plaid lining showing wear

As the shoe is used for skateboarding, some wear on interior components is expected. Ensure no sharp objects are in the shoe and clean gently to prevent further fraying.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure you find the correct fit for comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for adult male wearers, though sizing may accommodate others. Compatible with skateboarding activities and casual wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a leather cleaner sparingly with a damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture.
  2. Lining: The plaid inner lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoe.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading or damage. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  4. Laces: If included, handle special laces with care. For the elastic band, avoid stretching it unnecessarily.
