FAQs
What is the inspiration behind the 'Urban Outlaw' design?
The design is a collaboration between Nike SB and Magnus Walker, inspired by Ishod Wair's passion for cars and Magnus Walker's "Urban Outlaw" film, specifically referencing a German sports car known for its gold color.
How long does it take for the gold layer to appear?
The time it takes for the gold layer to appear varies significantly based on the frequency and intensity of wear. It can take several weeks of regular use for noticeable changes to occur.
Can I speed up the wear-away process?
While consistent wear is the primary method, some users might experiment with gentle abrasion in specific areas, but this carries a risk of damaging the material or creating an unnatural look. It's generally recommended to let the natural wear process unfold.
What material is the shoe made of?
The primary upper material is leather. The interior lining features a tartan plaid pattern.
Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?
Yes, as part of the Nike SB line, these trainers are designed with skateboarding performance in mind, offering durability and cushioning.
How do I clean the Union Jack embroidery?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the embroidered areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the threads.
What does 'SB Dunk High Pro' mean?
SB stands for 'Skateboarding,' indicating the shoe is part of Nike's skateboarding division. 'Dunk High Pro' refers to the high-top version of the iconic Dunk silhouette, with 'Pro' denoting enhanced features for skateboarding.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the leather upper.
This is a natural characteristic of the wear-away design. Each shoe will develop a unique pattern based on individual wear. If extreme unevenness is a concern, try to distribute wear more evenly across both shoes during regular use.
Creases appearing on the leather.
Creasing is normal for leather shoes, especially in high-flex areas. These creases will contribute to the reveal of the gold layer underneath. You can use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Scuffs or dirt on the white leather.
Use a damp cloth or a mild leather cleaner to gently remove surface marks. Minor scuffs will eventually contribute to the wear-away effect and reveal the gold.
Gold layer not revealing as expected.
The wear-away process depends on usage. Continue to wear the shoes regularly in key areas. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that might prevent the natural wear.
