FAQs
How long does it take for the silk upper to tear away?
The rate of wear depends entirely on usage. Consistent daily wear will show results within weeks, while occasional wear might take months. It's designed to evolve organically with your activity.
Can I stop the silk from tearing if I don't want the design to show?
The tearaway nature is inherent to the design. While you can slow the process with careful wear and minimal cleaning, it is intended to reveal the hidden iconography over time.
What is the underlying iconography?
The specific iconography is a unique graphic element designed by CLOT and Fragment, revealed as the silk upper wears away. Details can vary slightly based on the wear pattern.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
No, the primary materials, including the silk upper and leather, are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.
What is the significance of the CLOT and Fragment collaboration?
This sneaker celebrates the 20th anniversary of the long-standing partnership between Edison Chen's CLOT and Hiroshi Fujiwara's Fragment Design, known for influential streetwear and sneaker collaborations.
What size should I get?
Nike Dunk Lows generally fit true to size for most people. If you have wider feet, you might consider going up half a size. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult Nike's sizing chart.
What is the retail price?
The original retail price for this model was $150 USD.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear of the silk upper
This is a natural characteristic of the design. If you prefer more uniform wear, try rotating the shoes more frequently and ensuring consistent activity in them. Avoid spot-cleaning the silk as it can accelerate wear in unintended areas.
Silk upper is dirty or stained
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, which can damage the underlying graphics. For stubborn stains, consider professional sneaker cleaning services specializing in delicate materials.
Difficulty lacing with extra laces
Ensure the extra laces are the correct width for the eyelets. If they feel stiff, gently work them through the eyelets a few times. Consult online tutorials for different lacing techniques if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Nike Dunk Low CLOT Fragment is compatible with casual streetwear and a wide range of clothing styles. Its versatile white and black colorway makes it easy to integrate into most wardrobes.
Care:
- Tearaway Upper: To intentionally guide the wear of the silk upper, focus wear on specific areas. For a more uniform reveal, rotate the shoes and vary your activities. Avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh cleaning agents on the silk, as this can prematurely remove the iconography.
- General Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather and silk surfaces. For the rubber sole, a brush with mild soap and water can be effective. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and sunlight, which can affect the materials over time.
