Questions answered

FAQ

How does the Slipstream Lo compare to the Nike Dunk Low?

Both are retro basketball shoes turned lifestyle pieces. The Dunk Low has vastly more cultural significance and colorway options. The Slipstream offers comparable quality leather construction at a lower price with easier availability.

Is the Slipstream Lo comfortable?

It provides basic cushioning adequate for casual daily wear. Like most retro basketball shoes, it does not have modern comfort technology but is comfortable enough for everyday use.

Does the Slipstream Lo run true to size?

Yes, with a slightly wider fit than Nike equivalents. PUMA's last tends to be a bit wider, which is a positive for people with wider feet who find Nike retros too narrow.

Is the Slipstream Lo a good value?

At $90-110 for full leather construction, it is one of the better values in the retro basketball lifestyle category. It undercuts the Dunk Low and Jordan 1 Low while offering comparable materials.
