FAQs

What inspired the 'Purple Lobster' colorway?

The design is inspired by rare genetic mutations that cause lobsters to appear in unusual colors, specifically a purple hue, which is uncommon in nature.

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While they feature SB cushioning and construction, their high collectibility and premium materials mean many prefer to use them for casual wear. They can handle light to moderate skateboarding.

Can I get the blue laces mentioned?

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

What is the main material used in these shoes?

The primary material for the upper is high-quality leather.

How should I clean the plaid lining?

The plaid lining can be gently spot-cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material.

What size is a UK 8.5 equivalent in other regions?

A UK 8.5 is typically equivalent to a US Men's 9.5 or a European size 43.

Is this shoe part of a larger collection?

Yes, this shoe is part of a collaboration with Concepts and follows previous 'Lobster' SB Dunk releases.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Gently stretch the elastic forefoot band. Wearing the shoes for short periods can help them mold to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size.

Leather scuffs or marks

Use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove marks. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner can help restore the finish.

Sole feels stiff

Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods. The sole will become more flexible with use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly distinctive and collectible design.
  • Premium materials offer durability and comfort.
  • Unique colorway and thematic details stand out.
  • Versatile for both casual wear and light skateboarding.
  • Iconic SB Dunk silhouette.

Cons

  • Limited availability may make them difficult to acquire.
  • High collectibility might lead to higher resale prices.
  • The unique design might not appeal to all personal styles.
  • Potential for wear and tear on the premium leather if used heavily for skateboarding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. The elastic band can be gently stretched for easier on and off.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, primarily for casual wear. While built with skateboarding in mind, performance can vary based on individual skill and the intensity of use.

Care: To maintain the appearance of the leather, clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. It's recommended to use a shoe tree to help maintain their shape when not in use.
