FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the Nike SB Dunk Low Albino & Preto?

The design is inspired by a collaboration between skate culture and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, incorporating elements from Jiu-Jitsu kimonos and the duality represented by the Albino & Preto name.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper features heavy gauge canvas, inspired by the texture and construction of Jiu-Jitsu kimonos, along with pearl weave textile construction.

How should I clean the canvas upper?

Use a soft brush or dry cloth for dust. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?

While built with durability in mind, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light to moderate recreational skateboarding. For professional or heavy use, dedicated performance skate shoes might be more appropriate.

What does the black Swoosh represent?

The black Swoosh symbolizes the duality inherent in the Albino & Preto name, representing the collaborative essence and the blend of different cultures.

When were these released and what was the retail price?

They were released on September 23, 2023, with a retail price of $130.

Can I find other sizes or colorways?

This guide focuses on the Beige/Black - UK 5.5. Other sizes and variations may exist within the Nike SB Dunk Low series, but availability can vary.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on canvas

Minor creasing is natural with canvas footwear. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees for storage. Deep creases are a natural characteristic of wear.

Discoloration of canvas

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, clean gently with a mild soap and damp cloth, then air dry.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or with the insole. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a bit of lubricant (like petroleum jelly) to the tongue area or under the insole.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a similar style from a reputable shoe care brand. Ensure laces are not tied excessively tight to reduce stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care Instructions:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike SB Dunk Low Albino & Preto, follow these care tips:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a dry cloth to remove loose dirt and dust. For stubborn marks on the canvas, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the canvas texture and color.
  2. Suede/Leather Accents: If your pair has suede or leather elements, use a suede eraser or a dedicated leather cleaner for those specific areas. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous spot first.
  3. Sole Cleaning: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. A toothbrush can be helpful for cleaning the grooves.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or fade.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and moisture.
