FAQs
What is the inspiration behind the Nike SB Dunk Low Albino & Preto?
The design is a collaboration between Nike SB and Albino & Preto, blending elements from skate culture and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, particularly using materials inspired by Jiu-Jitsu kimonos.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of heavy gauge canvas, featuring a pearl weave construction traditionally found in Jiu-Jitsu uniforms.
How should I clean the canvas upper?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the canvas. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing to maintain the texture.
Are these shoes suitable for serious skateboarding?
While they are part of the Nike SB line and built for durability, their unique design and materials are often prioritized for style and casual wear. They are suitable for light skating.
What does the Albino & Preto name signify?
Albino & Preto is a brand that often explores duality and contrasts, and this collaboration reflects that by merging two distinct cultures (skate and Jiu-Jitsu) into a single sneaker design.
What are the main colors of this specific release?
This particular release features a Fossil/Black/Sail colorway, with a sail-colored body, fossil and black accents, and a black Swoosh.

Troubleshooting
Canvas material appears to be fading or looks dirty.
Gently clean with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized sneaker cleaner for canvas, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are wearing out or fraying.
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and width. You can also opt for custom laces that match or contrast the sneaker's colorway.
The unique texture of the upper is getting snagged.
Be mindful of rough surfaces. If snagged, carefully try to smooth out the threads with tweezers or a fine-tooth comb. For significant damage, professional sneaker restoration might be an option.
