Product Information
Full details
The Nike SB Dunk High Carpet Company is a specialized trainer designed for skateboarders and sneaker enthusiasts who value unique, DIY-inspired aesthetics. The key benefit of this shoe is its innovative tearaway upper, which allows the wearer to customize the shoe's appearance over time to reveal hidden graphics and secondary colors. One important caveat is that the intended distressed look requires gradual wear or deliberate customization, which may not appeal to those seeking a pristine, static finish.

FAQs
Can I choose not to tear away the upper?
Yes, the shoe comes with the semi-translucent layer intact. You are not required to peel it unless you want to customize the look.
Are these shoes suitable for professional skating?
Yes, they are part of the Nike SB line and include features like durable materials and reinforced construction specifically for skateboarding.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
The SB Dunk High generally fits true to size, but the padded tongue can make the fit feel slightly snug. Consider trying a half-size up if you prefer a looser fit.
What is the significance of the Arabic calligraphy?
The calligraphy is part of the collaborative artistic vision between Nike and the Baltimore-based Carpet Company, reflecting their unique brand heritage.
Are these shoes limited edition?
Yes, the Carpet Company collaboration is a special edition release from March 2021, making them more scarce than standard retail models.
Troubleshooting
Outer layer is peeling unintentionally
The outer layer is designed to be delicate; if unintentional peeling occurs, use a clear leather-safe adhesive to gently secure the edges.
Creasing appearing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing in the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers in optimal condition, treat the leather with a protective water-repellent spray before initial wear, specifically avoiding the tearaway sections if you intend to maintain the original factory layer longer. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a damp cloth for minor stains on the leather surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these could prematurely degrade the semi-translucent material. When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and to ensure the longevity of the screen-printed details.
