FAQs

What is the inspiration behind these Nike SB Dunk Highs?

These sneakers are inspired by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee from the Gundam franchise, a collaboration between Nike SB and Gundam.

What materials are used in the construction?

The trainers feature a black leather upper with navy leather overlays and copper trim accents.

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While they are part of the Nike SB line and have a durable construction, their unique design and collectible status mean many users prefer them for casual wear or display rather than aggressive skateboarding.

How should I clean the leather parts of the shoe?

Clean leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly and test in an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'Banshee Norn' refer to?

'Banshee Norn' refers to a specific form or iteration of the Unicorn Gundam, which is the design inspiration for this colorway of the shoe.

Can I wear these with casual outfits?

Yes, their distinctive design makes them a bold statement piece for casual outfits, pairing well with streetwear, jeans, or shorts.

What is the sizing like for these trainers?

These are listed in UK adult sizing. For this specific product, the size is UK 10.5. It is recommended to compare with your usual Nike sizing.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces. For display, proper positioning can help.

Dirt on navy overlays

Gently clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft cloth, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Laces feel stiff

If laces become dirty or stiff, they can be removed and washed gently by hand with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely.

Discoloration from sunlight

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause leather to fade. Store shoes in a dark place when not being worn.

Care:

  3. Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and mild soap and water.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
