FAQs
What is the main benefit of the deconstructed design?
The deconstructed design features less padding and an exposed foam tongue, which offers a slimmer profile, lighter weight, and enhanced boardfeel for skateboarding.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While the Zoom Air unit provides cushioning, these shoes are primarily designed for skateboarding and casual wear, not high-impact running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth and air drying are recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
What is the purpose of the gum sole?
The gum sole is designed to provide excellent grip and traction, crucial for skateboarding and stability in everyday wear.
When was this shoe released?
This specific model, the Nike Dunk High Pro Decon SB 'Gorge Green' (DQ4489-300), was released on November 28th, 2022.
Does the shoe come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the 'Gorge Green' colorway, the Nike SB Dunk line features various color options across different models.
What does 'Decon SB' stand for?
'Decon' refers to the deconstructed build, and 'SB' stands for 'Skateboarding,' indicating its design and intended use for skaters.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on the board
Ensure the gum sole is clean and free of debris. Check for excessive wear on the outsole pattern.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth sparingly and allow to air dry completely. Consider a suede protector spray for future prevention.
Shoe feels too slim or lacks traditional padding
This is by design for enhanced boardfeel. If more cushioning is desired, consider adding aftermarket insoles. Allow time for the shoe to break in.
