Description
The Nike Dunk Low Industrial Blue Sashiko, released in March 2023, draws inspiration from traditional Japanese sashiko embroidery to deliver a unique twist on the classic silhouette. Instead of conventional leather, the upper features a durable denim-like textile in a deep Industrial Blue, complemented by contrasting white sashiko-style stitching that replaces typical perforations on the toe box and adorns the heel tab. The design includes matching blue tongue tags, liners, and insoles, matched with creamy midsoles and vibrant blue rubber outsoles.
This piece is a curated blend of cultural craftsmanship and modern streetwear, offering robust construction, breathability, and distinctive visual appeal. The embroidery detail adds a refined cultural layer to the durable and comfortable Dunk Low platform, making it a standout for collectors and urban style enthusiasts alike.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
