FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the Nike SB Dunk High Pro QS "Banshee"?

The shoe is inspired by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 "Banshee" from the popular Gundam sci-fi franchise, featuring design elements that mimic the mecha's aesthetic.

What materials are used in the "Banshee" Dunk High?

The upper is primarily constructed from black leather with navy leather overlays and copper trim.

Is this shoe suitable for professional skateboarding?

While it's an SB Dunk model designed for skateboarding, its highly collectible nature and unique colorway mean many owners prefer to keep them in pristine condition for display or light casual wear rather than intense skateboarding.

How should I clean the leather parts of the shoe?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For more stubborn dirt, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by conditioning.

What does 'Pro QS' stand for in the product name?

'Pro' typically denotes a version with enhanced features for skateboarding, while 'QS' stands for 'Quickstrike,' indicating a limited-release product.

What are the primary colors used in this collaboration?

The shoe features a base of black and navy leather, accented with copper trim, metallic gold, thunder blue, and orange detailing, with a pink unicorn emblem.

Where can I find other colorways or related models?

You can explore variant siblings in the product information for related colorways such as white versions. General searches for 'Nike SB Dunk High Gundam' may also reveal other related collaborations.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing

Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize deep creases, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Color transfer

Darker colors, especially on overlays, may transfer to lighter socks. Ensure socks are of a similar color or consider wearing darker socks. For the shoe itself, avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when wet.

Scuffs and scratches on leather

Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather conditioner or a color-matched leather repair kit may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
