FAQs

What is the inspiration behind this shoe?

The Gundam x Nike SB Dunk High Pro QS Banshee trainers are inspired by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee from the popular anime series.

What materials are used in these trainers?

The trainers feature a primary upper made of black leather, with navy leather overlays and copper trim accents.

Are these trainers suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, they are part of the Nike SB line, which is designed for skateboarding. They offer good cushioning, support, and grip, though their collector status might make some users hesitant for heavy use.

How should I clean the leather parts?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For more stubborn dirt or stains, a mild leather cleaner is recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What does 'Pro QS' stand for in the product name?

'Pro' typically denotes features geared towards skateboarding performance, while 'QS' stands for 'Quickstrike,' indicating a limited release.

Where can I find other colorways or sizes?

This specific model is the 'Banshee Norn' colorway. Other collaborations or colorways within the Gundam x Nike SB Dunk High line may exist, and availability varies by retailer and release date.

Do these trainers come with special packaging?

Collaborative releases like this often come with special edition shoeboxes or packaging. Specific details may vary depending on the original release.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure a proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Suede/nubuck parts getting dirty

Use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, consult a professional cleaner or specific product instructions for suede.

Sole separation or wear

Minor separation can sometimes be repaired with shoe glue. Significant wear to the sole indicates heavy use and may require professional resoling or replacement.

Color transfer from overlays or accents

Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing. If color transfer occurs, try cleaning the affected garment immediately. Condition the leather to seal the color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these trainers require no specific setup. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These are lifestyle and skate-oriented sneakers, compatible with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athletic wear.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the leather and overlays:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and light.
