FAQs
What does 'tearaway silk upper' mean?
It means the outer layer of the shoe's upper is made of silk fabric that is designed to be worn away over time through regular use. As it tears away, it reveals a unique, custom design underneath.
How long does it take for the tearaway upper to reveal the design?
The rate of wear depends entirely on usage. Frequent wear in various conditions will reveal the design faster than occasional or light wear. It's a gradual process that happens naturally as you walk.
Can I stop the tearaway process if I like the outer silk layer?
The tearaway feature is integral to the design. While you can try to be very gentle, it's designed to wear. Embracing the evolving nature of the sneaker is part of the experience.
What is the underlying design that is revealed?
The underlying design is a custom graphic developed in collaboration with CLOT and Fragment Design, revealed as the silk upper wears off.
Are these shoes suitable for sports or intense physical activity?
While durable for everyday wear, the Nike Dunk Low is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. The tearaway upper is not designed for the abrasion and stress of intense athletic activities.
What is the significance of the Fragment x CLOT collaboration?
This sneaker celebrates the 20th anniversary of a notable partnership between Fragment Design (led by Hiroshi Fujiwara) and CLOT (led by Edison Chen), known for their influential contributions to streetwear and sneaker culture.
Do these come in other colors or sizes?
This specific model is the 'White' colorway. While other Dunk Low models and collaborations exist in various colors and sizes, this particular 'Fragment x CLOT 20th Anniversary' release in white is offered in specific sizing.
Troubleshooting
Tearaway upper wearing too quickly or unevenly.
This is an intended feature; however, if you notice excessive or undesirable wear, be more mindful of high-friction activities or contact points. Ensure you are using a soft cloth for cleaning.
Color transfer from the revealed design to lighter clothing.
While unlikely with the white and black colorway, if color transfer is a concern, ensure the shoe is completely dry before wear. The underlying ink is designed to be stable once revealed and dry.
Dirt or debris stuck in the revealed design.
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean any accumulated dirt from the detailed areas of the revealed design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Simply lace them up using the included blue laces or the original white ones, depending on your preference.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males (as per the general Dunk Low sizing) and compatible with a wide range of casual attire. The sizing is based on UK men's foot sizing.
Care: To maintain the sneaker's appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and silk upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could prematurely damage the tearaway layer or the underlying design.
- Managing the Tearaway Feature: The tearaway aspect is intentional. Allow the silk upper to wear naturally for the intended reveal. If you wish to accelerate or control the wear in specific areas, gentle abrasion with a soft brush can be used cautiously. However, for the full experience, natural wear is recommended.
- Lace Care: The extra blue laces can be cleaned separately. Ensure they are dry before re-lacing.
- Sole Maintenance: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before use to maintain grip.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape.
