FAQs

What makes the 'Faded Black' colorway unique?

The 'Faded Black' iteration features a heavily distressed suede upper and a 'pre-dirtied' aesthetic, giving it a unique vintage and worn-in appearance right from the start, unlike traditional pristine finishes.

Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?

While inspired by the Nike SB series and offering good traction and support, these are best suited for casual wear and light skateboarding. For professional or intense skateboarding, more specialized skate shoes might be recommended.

How do I clean the distressed suede material?

Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, always testing on a small, hidden area first.

What is the primary benefit of the rubber sole?

The rubber sole is designed to provide superior cushioning for comfort during everyday activities and enhanced traction for a secure grip on various surfaces.

What does 'SB' stand for in the product name?

'SB' stands for 'Skateboarding'. The Nike SB line is specifically designed with features tailored for skateboarders' needs.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing these sneakers in rain or wet environments to prevent damage to the material.

What are the subtle teal accents?

The teal accents are small design details found on the foam and fabric lining, particularly on the branded insoles, adding a subtle contrast to the predominantly black colorway.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions carefully.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. The 'Coconut Milk' colored sole may show dirt more readily; clean with a damp cloth.

Laces show wear

Replace laces with standard sneaker laces. Cleaning them with mild soap and water can refresh their appearance.

Fit feels too snug

Wear with thinner socks or consider a shoe stretcher if the tightness is minor and consistent.
