Troubleshooting

Colors appear faded

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry place away from light sources.

Canvas material feels stiff

Canvas will naturally soften with wear. Gentle flexing can help accelerate this process. Avoid excessive moisture.

Sole is dirty and losing grip

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt in treads, use a brush.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with a mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and highly collectible design.
  • Combines artistic expression with functional skateboarding features.
  • Durable materials suitable for skateboarding and daily wear.
  • Comfortable cushioning for extended use.
  • Represents a significant collaboration between a renowned artist and Nike SB.

Cons

  • Limited edition status can make it difficult to acquire.
  • The artistic design might be perceived as too bold for some personal styles.
  • Potential for increased wear on the artistic elements during heavy skateboarding use.
  • Higher resale value may deter some from using them for actual skateboarding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sneakers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility:

The Nike SB Dunk Low Futura Laboratories Bleached Aqua is designed primarily for skateboarding and casual wear. Its construction is compatible with standard skateboarding equipment and practices.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your sneakers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks on the canvas, use a mild soap solution with water and a clean cloth. Avoid soaking the canvas.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. For tougher scuffs on the rubber outsole, a magic eraser can be used cautiously.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent, then air dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the colors and degradation of materials.
  • Skateboarding Use: If used for skateboarding, expect natural wear and tear. For prolonged artistic preservation, consider using a separate pair for skating.
