FAQs

What makes the 'Purple Lobster' design unique?

The 'Purple Lobster' design is inspired by rare, genetically odd-colored lobsters. It features a distinctive multi-toned purple upper and a red and white plaid inner lining, differentiating it from other SB Dunk releases.

Are these shoes suitable for daily wear?

While built with durable SB Dunk Pro construction, their collectible nature and unique design mean many owners prefer to wear them sparingly or for display. They can be worn daily, but expect natural wear and tear.

How do I clean the purple leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the significance of the Concepts collaboration?

Concepts is a highly respected sneaker boutique. Collaborations with Concepts often result in limited-edition, highly desirable releases with unique themes and premium execution, increasing their collectibility.

Does the elastic band provide extra support?

Yes, the elastic band across the forefoot is designed to offer a more secure lockdown, helping to keep the foot stable within the shoe, which is beneficial for skateboarding.

Are there other 'Lobster' Dunk colorways?

Yes, Nike and Concepts have previously released other 'Lobster' Dunk colorways, such as the 'Red Lobster' and 'Blue Lobster', each with its own distinct theme and rarity.

What is the sizing like for SB Dunk Lows?

SB Dunk Lows generally fit true to size for most people. However, due to the padded nature of the tongue and collar, some prefer to go half a size up for a looser fit, especially if they have wider feet.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with durable replacement laces, potentially thicker or waxed laces designed for sneakers.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creases can sometimes be reduced by using a shoe tree. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or appropriate color polish. Embrace natural wear as part of the shoe's character.

Elastic band losing elasticity

Avoid stretching the band excessively when putting on or taking off the shoes. Store properly to prevent undue stress.
