Product Information

Full details

The Nike SB Dunk Low 'Black Gum' is designed for skaters and sneaker enthusiasts seeking a durable, stylish shoe with reliable traction. Its key benefit lies in the combination of premium materials and a classic aesthetic, enhanced by a Zoom Air unit for cushioning. A potential caveat is that the 'gum' sole, while providing grip, may show dirt more readily than darker soles.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro models are specifically designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring durable materials, a supportive cupsole, and a grippy gum rubber outsole, along with a Zoom Air unit for impact protection.

How do I clean the gum sole without ruining it?

Use a damp cloth with a bit of mild soap. For more persistent marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but apply gentle pressure to avoid damaging the rubber.

What is the difference between SB Dunks and regular Dunks?

SB Dunks are engineered for skateboarding, typically featuring more padding, a deconstructed upper for better board feel, and enhanced cushioning like a Zoom Air unit. Regular Dunks are more lifestyle-oriented.

How do I care for the nubuck upper?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner, applying it sparingly and testing in a hidden area first. Avoid excessive water.

What size should I get?

These are listed in UK adult sizing. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consult Nike's official size chart for accurate conversion, as fit can vary.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some resistance, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prolong their lifespan and prevent damage.

What is the retail price?

The original retail price for the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Black Gum was $110 USD.

Troubleshooting

Sole feels slippery initially

The gum sole might have a slight coating from manufacturing. Wear them outdoors or on rougher surfaces to scuff the sole slightly, improving traction.

Tight fit or discomfort

Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted to relieve pressure points.

Dirt on the gum sole

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For tougher stains, a magic eraser can be effective but use it gently to avoid damaging the rubber.

Nubuck material getting dirty

Use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the nubuck and leather with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the shoe.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth and mild soap for the rubber sole. For stubborn marks on the gum sole, a magic eraser can be used with caution.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity and color.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede/nubuck protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially on the nubuck portions.
