FAQs
What is the main feature of the Nike Dunk Low CLOT Fragment?
The main feature is its unique tearaway silk upper. As you wear the shoes, the outer silk layer gradually wears away to reveal a custom design underneath, making each pair unique to its owner over time.
When was this sneaker released?
This sneaker was launched on June 14, 2023.
What materials are used in the construction?
The sneaker features a leather upper combined with a silk tearaway layer, a midsole, and a rubber outsole.
Does the tearaway upper mean the shoe will fall apart?
No, the tearaway upper is a design feature. The silk is intended to wear away to reveal a durable custom graphic underneath. The underlying structure is built for longevity.
Can I control how the tearaway upper wears?
The wear pattern is influenced by how and how often you wear the shoes. While you can't precisely control it, varied activity will naturally expose different areas. If you wish to preserve the outer layer longer, reduce the frequency of wear.
What is the retail price of these sneakers?
The original retail price for this sneaker was $150.
Are there other colorways or versions of this collaboration?
This specific release is the 'Fragment x CLOT 20th Anniversary' edition. Other Nike Dunk models and collaborations exist, but this guide focuses on this particular white colorway.
Troubleshooting
Tearaway upper is wearing too quickly or unevenly.
This is an intentional feature of the design. The rate of wear depends on usage. For more even wear, try to distribute pressure across the shoe during activity. If the wear is too rapid for your preference, reduce the frequency of wear or use protective shoe sprays designed for delicate fabrics (test on an inconspicuous area first).
Outer silk layer is dirty and affecting the look.
Gently wipe the silk upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The materials will soften with use, conforming to your foot.
Color transfer from socks or other materials.
While unlikely with the white leather and silk, if color transfer occurs, clean the affected area with a damp cloth. It's advisable to wear socks that do not have heavily dyed fabrics, especially when the shoes are new.
