FAQs

What inspired the design of the Nike SB Dunk Low Albino & Preto?

The design is inspired by the fusion of skate culture and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, drawing elements from Jiu-Jitsu kimonos, such as the heavy gauge canvas upper and pearl weave construction.

What are the main materials used in this sneaker?

The primary material for the upper is heavy gauge canvas, with leather accents for the Swoosh and other details. The sole is typically made of rubber.

How do I clean the canvas upper of these sneakers?

It is best to spot clean the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the material and the shoe's structure.

Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, as part of the Nike SB line, these sneakers are designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring durable materials and a supportive sole for board feel and impact protection.

What does the black Swoosh represent?

The black Swoosh symbolizes the duality inherent in the Albino & Preto name, representing different aspects or forces.

When was this collaboration released?

This specific collaboration was released on September 23, 2023.

What is the pearl weave construction?

Pearl weave is a type of fabric construction commonly used in Jiu-Jitsu gis (uniforms), known for its strength and durability. Its inclusion in the sneaker pays homage to the martial art.

Troubleshooting

Canvas material appears dirty

Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.

Laces are worn or damaged

Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Ensure the new laces are of appropriate length for the shoe's eyelets.

Sole feels stiff initially

Wear the shoes for a few short periods to allow the sole to break in and become more flexible. Gentle flexing of the sole by hand can also help.
