FAQs

What makes the Nike SB Dunk Low 'Albino & Preto' unique?

This sneaker is unique due to its collaboration with Jiu-Jitsu culture, featuring a heavy gauge canvas upper inspired by Jiu-Jitsu kimonos and pearl weave construction, blending skate and martial arts aesthetics.

Are these shoes good for serious skateboarding?

The Nike SB Dunk Low silhouette is built for skateboarding, and this edition features durable canvas. However, the unique materials may be best preserved with light to moderate skating rather than extreme conditions.

How should I clean the canvas upper?

Gently clean the canvas with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized canvas sneaker cleaner sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area first.

What does the black swoosh symbolize?

The black swoosh symbolizes the duality inherent in the 'Albino & Preto' name, representing the fusion of different cultures and concepts.

What is 'pearl weave construction'?

Pearl weave construction is a traditional weaving technique used in Jiu-Jitsu gis, known for its strength and texture. It's incorporated here to add an authentic martial arts element and durability to the sneaker.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday activities?

Yes, absolutely. The Nike SB Dunk Low 'Albino & Preto' offers a comfortable and stylish design suitable for everyday wear, making them a versatile addition to your casual wardrobe.

What is the main inspiration behind this collaboration?

The main inspiration comes from the shared values of discipline, dedication, and culture between skateboarding and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Troubleshooting

Canvas material appears stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is normal due to the heavy gauge canvas. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The material will soften with use.

Scuff marks on the canvas are noticeable.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consider a dedicated canvas sneaker cleaner, testing it first on a small, hidden area.

The black swoosh is showing signs of wear.

While the swoosh is part of the design, aggressive wear can affect it. For minor scuffs, a gentle cleaning may help. Be mindful of potential abrasion during skating.

Shoes feel slightly different from standard Dunks.

This is due to the unique Jiu-Jitsu kimono-inspired canvas and pearl weave construction, which alters the material feel and flexibility compared to traditional leather or suede Dunk models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Nike SB Dunk Low comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. No assembly or specific setup is required.

Compatibility:

These sneakers are designed primarily for men and are suitable for adult wear. They are compatible with standard streetwear and skate attire. While designed with skateboarding in mind, their unique materials may be best suited for light to moderate skating to preserve their aesthetic.

Care:

Due to the heavy gauge canvas upper, specific care is recommended to maintain the appearance and integrity of the shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean dirt and scuffs from the canvas. Avoid excessive moisture.
  2. Suede/Canvas Care: For tougher stains on canvas, a specialized sneaker cleaner can be used sparingly. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Lining: The interior can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the shoes are aired out after cleaning.
  4. Soles: The rubber soles can be cleaned with soap and water. A toothbrush can help with crevices.
  5. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
