FAQs

Does the blue outer layer come off on its own?

It is designed to wear away gradually through friction and regular use, but you can also manually distress it.

Is this sneaker suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, it is part of the Nike SB series, which includes technical features like impact-absorbing midsoles and durable materials.

What is the primary material used?

The shoe is constructed primarily from high-quality tumbled leather.

What does the text on the heel say?

The heels feature Arabic calligraphy and specific branded quotes representative of the Carpet Company shop.

Should I order a different size for high-tops?

The Nike SB Dunk High generally fits true to size, but those who prefer a roomier fit for performance socks may consider sizing up by a half size.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain the leather shape and minimize permanent creases.

Tearaway layer wearing unevenly

The wear is intended to be natural; however, you can use a small hobby knife or sandpaper to carefully distress specific areas if you prefer a controlled look.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive tearaway design allows for a personalized look
  • Durable leather construction suited for skating or casual wear
  • High-top silhouette provides excellent ankle support
  • Detailed graphic storytelling unique to this collaborative edition

Cons

  • The tearaway process is permanent and cannot be undone
  • Vibrant colors underneath may show scuffs more easily once revealed
  • Limited availability due to the special edition collaboration status

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your pair in optimal condition, consider these steps:

  1. Break-in Period: The leather will feel stiff initially; ensure you wear them with skate-appropriate socks to avoid friction.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to clean the leather sections. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this may degrade the tearaway material.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant yellow base colors from fading before you choose to reveal them.
  4. Compatibility: These are standard US/UK sizing; however, since they are leather high-tops, they fit true to size but may feel snug across the instep for wider feet.
