FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for this sneaker?

The Nike SB Dunk Low Futura Laboratories is inspired by the iconic street art and graffiti style of legendary artist Futura (Futura 2000), blending his abstract art with skateboarding functionality.

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While designed with skateboarding functionality in mind, including durable materials and responsive cushioning, their value as a collectible may lead some owners to reserve them for lighter use or casual wear.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper features a durable canvas base with multicolor overlays, characteristic of Futura's artistic style.

How does the sizing run for the Nike SB Dunk Low?

Nike SB Dunks generally run true to size for most wearers. However, personal preference for snugness or roominess can vary. It is recommended to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible.

When was this sneaker released?

The Nike SB Dunk Low Futura Laboratories Bleached Aqua was released on May 18, 2024.

What does 'Bleached Aqua' refer to?

'Bleached Aqua' refers to the dominant colorway of the sneaker, featuring shades of light blue and teal mixed with white and other accent colors in Futura's signature artistic patterns.

Can I clean the artistic overlays without damaging the design?

Yes, you can clean the artistic overlays using a soft, slightly damp cloth and gentle cleaning solutions. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could lift or fade the artwork.

Troubleshooting

Canvas appears dirty or stained

Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated canvas cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure thorough rinsing and air drying.

Outsole becoming cloudy or discolored

Clean the translucent outsole with a soft cloth and water. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight, which can affect clarity over time.

Laces fraying or becoming worn

Replace laces with standard sneaker laces. Consider using flat laces that complement the shoe's color scheme.

Reduced grip on the sole

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For persistent issues, the grip may be naturally reduced due to wear and tear from skateboarding.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the canvas and leather overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the artwork.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the translucent outsole, a soft-bristled brush can be used.
