When was this shoe released?

Is this shoe suitable for professional skateboarding?

While the SB Dunk High is a skate-inspired silhouette, this particular artist collaboration with premium materials and detailed embroidery is often considered more of a collectible and may not be ideal for intense, professional skateboarding.

How should I clean the gold embroidery?

Clean gently around the embroidery with a soft, damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing to prevent damage.

What is the main theme of the design?

The artist FAUST's motive was to tell different stories through the intricate golden embroidery featured on the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel stiff or difficult to thread

Gently work the laces through the eyelets. If new, they may soften with use.

Embroidery appears to be lifting or snagged

Carefully try to tuck any loose threads back under the embroidery. Avoid pulling on them. For significant damage, professional shoe repair may be needed.

Leather surface has minor scuffs

Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner with a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Satin lining feels rough

Ensure the shoe is clean and dry. The satin should naturally smooth out with wear. Avoid excessive moisture.
