Product Information
Full details
The Nike SB Dunk High Decon Gorge Green is designed for skaters and sneaker enthusiasts seeking a lightweight, board-feel-focused shoe with a distinct monochrome aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its reduced padding and exposed foam tongue for enhanced agility, though the deconstructed nature may offer less impact protection than traditional high-top models.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the 'Decon' design?
The 'Decon' (deconstructed) design features reduced padding in the ankle and an exposed foam tongue, offering a slimmer profile and enhanced board feel for skateboarding.
Are these shoes suitable for maximum impact cushioning?
While they feature Zoom Air in the heel for cushioning, the deconstructed design prioritizes board feel. For maximum impact cushioning, traditional, more padded skate shoes might be preferred.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking and ensure the shoes air dry completely.
What is the outsole made of for better grip?
The outsole is made of gum rubber, which is specifically designed to provide excellent traction and grip on skateboards and various surfaces.
When were the Nike SB Dunk High Decon Gorge Green released?
These shoes were released on November 28th, 2022.
What is the original retail price of these shoes?
The original retail price was $130.
Can these shoes be worn for activities other than skateboarding?
Yes, while designed for skateboarding, their stylish monochrome look and comfortable fit make them suitable for casual everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently lift stains. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced ankle support feels insufficient.
Consider using aftermarket insoles that provide more ankle support or opt for traditional, more padded Dunk models if maximum support is a priority.
Gum sole scuffing.
Minor scuffs on the gum sole can often be removed with a magic eraser or a soft cloth with mild soap. Deep scuffs may be permanent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box with no specific setup required. They are compatible with standard skateboarding equipment and are suitable for adult males.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt on the suede, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede and sole.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
