FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Nike SB Dunk Low Albino & Preto?

The shoe is inspired by a collaboration between skate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu cultures, featuring design elements and materials that mimic Jiu-Jitsu kimonos.

What are the primary materials used in this sneaker?

The upper is constructed from heavy gauge canvas with a pearl weave, replicating Jiu-Jitsu gi texture, complemented by leather accents and a rubber sole.

Is this shoe suitable for professional skateboarding?

While built on the SB Dunk platform known for skate performance, the unique materials of this collaboration are best suited for lifestyle wear and casual use. Professional skateboarding may cause excessive wear on the special materials.

How do I clean the pearl weave canvas upper?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For dirt, use a soft brush or a mild soap and water solution applied sparingly with a cloth, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

What does the black Swoosh symbolize?

The black Swoosh is noted to epitomize the duality of the Albino & Preto name and represents the collaborative essence of the partnership.

When was this shoe released and what was the original retail price?

The Nike SB Dunk Low Albino & Preto was released on September 23, 2023, with a retail price of $130.

Are there other colorways or versions available?

Yes, while this guide focuses on the 'Fossil/Black/Sail' (Pearl White) edition, Nike SB collaborations often have variations or related releases. It's advisable to check for specific model numbers or collection details.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather or canvas. Try walking on different surfaces or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Canvas material feels stiff

This is characteristic of the Jiu-Jitsu kimono-inspired weave. Wear them regularly for a short period to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.

Color transfer from black Swoosh

Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or materials, especially when damp. If transfer occurs, clean the affected area with a mild cleaning solution.

Care:
