FAQs

What is the primary inspiration behind the Nike SB Dunk High Pro Ishod Wair x Magnus Walker?

The design is inspired by Ishod Wair's and Magnus Walker's shared passion for cars, specifically a German sports car featured in Magnus Walker's film 'Urban Outlaw'. The colorway and graphics directly reference this inspiration.

How does the 'wear-away' feature work?

The white leather upper is designed to gradually wear off with use, revealing a hidden layer of gold underneath. This process creates a unique, personalized aesthetic over time.

Is this shoe suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, as a Nike SB model, it is designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring durable materials, good cushioning, and a grippy outsole for performance and protection.

What does the 'Urban Outlaw' reference mean?

'Urban Outlaw' is the title of a 2012 film by Magnus Walker that documents his passion for classic Porsche sports cars, particularly those modified for a unique aesthetic. The shoe's design elements are a direct homage to this film and the cars within it.

What is the significance of the tartan plaid lining?

The tartan plaid lining adds a distinctive visual and textural element to the shoe's interior, complementing the overall design narrative and the collaborative spirit of the release.

How should I care for the wear-away leather?

It's best to embrace the natural wear-away process. Clean gently with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. The beauty of the shoe lies in its evolving appearance as the gold layer is revealed.

When was this shoe released?

The Nike SB Dunk High Pro Ishod Wair x Magnus Walker was released in June of 2021.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the gold layer

This is a natural part of the design. Embrace the unique patina that develops over time. Consistent wear patterns will naturally lead to variations in how the gold is revealed.

Scuff marks on the white exterior

Minor scuffs can often be gently wiped away with a damp cloth. Deeper scuffs will contribute to the wear-away process, eventually revealing the gold.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap to remove dirt and debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before use.

Discomfort or tight fit

SB Dunks can sometimes have a snug fit. Try wearing them with thinner socks or stretching them gently over time. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a more comfortable fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and story-rich design collaborations
  • Durable construction suitable for skateboarding
  • The wear-away feature offers a dynamic, evolving aesthetic
  • Comfortable fit with distinctive interior lining
  • A collectible item for fans of skateboarding and automotive culture

Cons

  • The wear-away aspect means the shoe's appearance changes, which might not suit all preferences.
  • Limited release history may make finding specific sizes challenging.
  • Original retail price might be a barrier for some consumers.
  • Care is needed to maintain the unique elements of the design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sneakers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in various UK adult men's sizes. It is recommended to try them on for the best fit, as SB Dunks can sometimes fit differently than standard Dunks.
  • Usage: Suitable for skateboarding, casual wear, and collecting.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the white leather and canvas, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the wear-away layer or the underlying gold.
  • Protecting the Wear-Away Layer: Embrace the natural wear-away process. Avoid excessive scrubbing, especially in areas where the gold is meant to be revealed. Some users apply a protective spray designed for leather and sneakers, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Lining: The tartan plaid lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a brush and mild soap if needed to maintain grip.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
