Nike Dunk Low Industrial Blue Sashiko - Low Shoes - UK 9.5

The design is inspired by the traditional Japanese sashiko stitching technique, which is characterized by its intricate and decorative reinforcement stitching.

The sneaker primarily features denim uppers with leather overlays, a cushioned midsole, and a durable rubber outsole.

While the Dunk Low silhouette originated from basketball, the 'Industrial Blue Sashiko' is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for high-performance athletic activities.

Gently clean the denim with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh cleaning agents to prevent damage and fading.

'Sashiko' refers to the traditional Japanese embroidery technique that inspires the detailed stitching found on the sneaker.

The Nike Dunk Low 'Industrial Blue Sashiko' was released on March 9, 2023.

While marketed towards men, the sizing is generally unisex. Women can typically wear a men's size that corresponds to their women's size, keeping in mind the fit difference.

For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with small scissors. If significant stitching is unraveling, consult a cobbler or consider applying a small amount of fabric glue to secure the threads.

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For overall fading, consider specialized denim cleaners or accept it as part of the shoe's natural wear patina. Avoid machine washing.

This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe or between the sole and the insole. Try inserting a dryer sheet or talcum powder under the insole. Ensure laces are tied appropriately.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Wearing appropriate socks can also help prevent rubbing.
