FAQs
What makes the 'Industrial Blue Sashiko' design unique?
The design is inspired by traditional Japanese sashiko stitching, featuring intricate and visible stitching details throughout the sneaker, particularly on the toe box and heel, setting it apart from standard designs.
What material is the Nike Dunk Low 'Industrial Blue Sashiko' made of?
The primary material for the upper is leather, providing durability and a premium feel. The sole is made of rubber for traction.
Is this sneaker suitable for athletic performance?
While the Dunk Low silhouette offers good support, the 'Industrial Blue Sashiko' is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear rather than high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the special stitching?
Clean the stitching gently with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid excessive scrubbing, which could fray the threads.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it's not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat the leather with a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What does 'Sashiko' refer to?
Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique involving running stitches used for mending or creating decorative patterns. This sneaker incorporates that aesthetic.
Are there other colorways or sizes available?
The Nike Dunk Low series often features various colorways and extensive sizing. You can check Nike's official channels or authorized retailers for availability of other options.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have verified your UK size against Nike's official sizing chart. Consider trying them on in-store if possible, or check reviews for fit feedback specific to this model. Different materials and construction can affect fit.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for minor marks. For deeper scuffs, consider a leather conditioner or repair kit suitable for sneakers.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For significantly slippery surfaces, consider using traction-enhancing sprays or pads designed for footwear, though this may alter the shoe's original aesthetic.
