FAQs

What inspired the 'Purple Lobster' design?

The design is inspired by rare, naturally occurring purple specimens of lobsters, which are genetic color variations.

Are these shoes good for actual skateboarding?

While they are built on a Nike SB Dunk sole designed for skateboarding, their rarity and collectible status mean most owners prefer to wear them for lifestyle purposes rather than intense skating.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of high-quality leather.

Does the elastic band serve a functional purpose?

Yes, the elastic band provides an additional snug fit around the forefoot, inspired by the bands used on real lobsters.

When were these shoes released?

These sneakers were released in December 2018.

What does 'OG QS' stand for?

'OG QS' typically stands for 'Original/Old Gangster' and 'Quickstrike', indicating a limited release of a classic design.

How should I clean the plaid lining?

Gently spot-clean the plaid lining with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid saturating the material.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Creasing on the leather upper

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Discoloration of the purple upper

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can cause colors to fade. Clean with appropriate leather care products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These shoes require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

Designed as a lifestyle sneaker, these are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. While based on a skateboarding shoe, they are best suited for casual use rather than intense skateboarding to preserve their condition and collectible value.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  • Lining: The plaid lining can be gently spot-cleaned with a damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe tree or their original box, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the elastic band for wear and tear. Condition the leather periodically to keep it supple.
