FAQs
What is the main appeal of the 'Faded Black' colorway?
The 'Faded Black' colorway offers a unique, pre-distressed, vintage look that mimics a well-worn pair of sneakers, incorporating subtle SB Dunk styling and teal accents for a distinctive aesthetic.
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
While designated as 'SB' (Skateboarding) and featuring a grippy sole and durable suede, the 'Premium' and 'Faded Black' aspects suggest a greater emphasis on style and everyday comfort. They are suitable for casual skating but may not offer the advanced features required for professional-level performance.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid excessive moisture and direct heat when drying. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'Pre-dirtied colorway' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to look intentionally aged or worn, with a faded and slightly marked appearance right out of the box, contributing to their vintage style.
What material is the shoe primarily made of?
The upper is primarily made of distressed black suede, with a rubber midsole and grippy rubber outsole.
What is the release date of this model?
This specific model was released on March 29, 2021.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and damage easily. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in rain or snow, and to protect them from moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede color appears uneven or faded
This is an intended feature of the 'Faded Black' colorway. The distressed appearance is part of the design. Ensure proper storage to prevent further unintentional fading.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water, or use a laundry bag for machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean. Remove any debris or mud with a damp cloth. For persistent issues, consider if the surface itself is particularly slick.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the material.
- Lining: The foam and fabric lining can be gently spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the shoe dries naturally away from direct heat.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to protect the suede and prevent dust accumulation. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade the color over time.
