FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the Nike SB Dunk Low Albino & Preto collaboration?

The shoe is inspired by the fusion of skate culture and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The heavy gauge canvas upper mimics the material of Jiu-Jitsu kimonos, and the pearl weave construction is a traditional element from martial arts attire.

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While they feature the classic SB Dunk sole for cushioning and board feel, the specialized canvas upper is more geared towards lifestyle wear and light skateboarding. For professional or intense skateboarding, consider shoes specifically designed for maximum durability and impact protection.

How should I clean the canvas upper?

Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.

What does the black Swoosh represent?

The black Swoosh is a visual element that symbolizes the duality and fusion inherent in the Albino & Preto name and the collaboration's theme.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The primary material for the upper is a heavy gauge canvas, inspired by the fabric used in Jiu-Jitsu kimonos, providing a durable and textured feel.

Is this a limited edition release?

Yes, collaborations like this are typically limited edition, which can affect availability.

What is the 'pearl weave' construction?

Pearl weave is a type of fabric construction often found in high-quality Jiu-Jitsu gis, known for its strength and texture. Its inclusion in the sneaker is a direct reference to the martial arts inspiration.

Troubleshooting

Canvas material feels stiff initially

This is normal due to the heavy gauge canvas inspired by kimonos. Wear the shoes regularly for a few hours each day to break them in. The material will naturally soften with use.

Color transfer from black accents to lighter clothing

Ensure the black Swoosh and other black accents are dry. If they appear to be bleeding color, it's recommended to avoid wearing them with very light-colored socks or pants until the color transfer has stopped, which may occur after initial wears.

Reduced grip on smooth surfaces

The rubber sole is designed for skate grip. If grip is reduced on very smooth or wet surfaces, this is typical for rubber soles. Ensure the sole is clean of debris, as dirt can impact traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

As footwear, the Nike SB Dunk Low requires no setup beyond lacing. Ensure the laces are tied securely for optimal fit and support.

Compatibility:

This shoe is designed for adult males and is compatible with standard adult sizing. It is suitable for casual wear, lifestyle outfits, and light skateboarding activities. It is not specifically designed for professional-level skateboarding.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the canvas and leather surfaces. Avoid excessive water.
  • Suede/Canvas Care: For stubborn dirt on canvas, a mild soap solution can be used with a brush, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary. Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry.
  • Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
