FAQs
Are these shoes truly suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro is designed with skateboarding in mind, offering durability and traction. While suitable for many skaters, professional skaters may have highly specific needs for board feel and impact protection that could lead them to seek specialized models.
How do I break in the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro?
Wear them around the house for short periods. Walking and light activity will help the materials conform to your foot shape. Avoid excessive flexing or aggressive use until they feel comfortable.
What is the difference between this model and other Dunk variations?
The 'SB' designation indicates that this shoe is part of Nike's Skateboarding line, typically featuring enhanced cushioning, durability, and traction tailored for skateboarding compared to standard Dunk models.
How does the sizing run for this shoe?
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro generally runs true to size for most users. If you plan to wear thicker socks, or are between sizes, consider sizing up half a size for a more comfortable fit.
Can the white leather be easily dyed or customized?
While customization is possible, dyeing white tumbled leather can be challenging to achieve an even finish and may affect the material's texture and durability. Customizers often use paints designed for leather.
What is the primary advantage of the gum outsole?
The gum outsole provides superior grip and traction, which is essential for skateboarding to maintain control on the board and for enhanced performance during tricks.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe where the tongue meets the laces, or along the insole. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.
Gum sole leaving marks
This is a characteristic of gum rubber. To minimize marks on indoor surfaces, ensure the soles are clean before entering. For minor marks on floors, they can often be wiped away with a non-abrasive cleaner.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To manage, ensure the shoes fit correctly. Using shoe trees when not in use can help retain the shoe's shape and reduce deep creases over time.
Difficulty cleaning white leather
Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap with a soft cloth. For tougher stains, a magic eraser can be used very carefully on the leather parts only, avoiding stitching and other materials.
