FAQs
What makes the 'Decon' model different from a standard Dunk High?
The 'Decon' (deconstructed) design features less padding, particularly around the ankle, and often an exposed foam tongue. This results in a slimmer profile and enhanced boardfeel for skateboarding.
How is the fit of the Nike SB Dunk High Decon?
The Decon design typically offers a slimmer, more precise fit compared to standard Dunks, contributing to the improved boardfeel. It's recommended to select your usual size.
Is the suede material durable for skateboarding?
While suede is a premium material offering good grip and feel, it requires more maintenance than synthetic materials. For intense, frequent skateboarding, consider that suede may show wear more quickly than other materials and needs proper care.
Does the shoe have good cushioning?
Yes, the shoe features Nike's Zoom Air cushioning in the heel, which provides responsive impact absorption for comfort during skating and wear.
What is the primary benefit of the gum sole?
The gum sole is chosen for its superior grip and durability, essential for providing stable footing on a skateboard and ensuring longevity.
When was the Nike SB Dunk High Decon Gorge Green released?
The Nike SB Dunk High Decon Gorge Green was released on November 28th, 2022.
What is the original retail price?
The original retail price for the Nike SB Dunk High Decon Gorge Green was $130 USD.
Troubleshooting
Reduced ankle support compared to other high-tops.
This is a feature of the Decon (deconstructed) design, prioritizing boardfeel. For more ankle support, consider traditional Dunk High models or add supportive insoles.
Suede becoming dirty or stained.
Use a suede eraser for minor marks. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Traction reduced on the gum sole.
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be hindering grip.
