[dhtowng]

Damn they really that bad huh?

Crazy that people are paying $300 a pop if they're pleather.

Shoes from Rack Room probably have better leather lol.

They’re truly that bad lmao, I can tell in the future they’re going to have those weird creases that stiff plastic leather have they’re not going to have natural break in creases that actually look good

Off'd my Villinova Navy's for that reason. I think I only own like 3 of those pleather joints and only paid for 1. If the other two weren't gifts I would of axed those too. They're BAD.

Joints are really gloss finished cardboard.

Seen this pic on twitter & glad I missed on the aged greens. The shininess makes them look like a womens release

Not as bad in person, held them in hand at Stadium Goods.
Waiting for my pair to get in.

It was a Women's release, no?

 

[vinnuendo]

They were a women's release lol, and also shiny cardboard

But reminder that colors and shininess are not inherently masculine or feminine, it's just a social concept we've normalized

 

[nickname.esco]

Nah.
No lie the leather is disrespectfully plastic.

I really don’t think it’s even leather.

 

[KanyIZZY]

A solid -50% chance it's leather. I would bet SNKRS access that I never get on it!

Spoiler: Guess what

it's not

 

[vinnuendo]

Yo someone in the af1 thread said rat leather once had me weak, all I can think of now

 

[nickname.esco]

You can hear them crease. **** is wild.

It's an insult to rats to even call these rat leather, this that zip loc bag leather

 

[WASHED KING]

It's honestly completely turned me off to GR dunks. They've released good colorways but they look like absolute sh*t in hand cause of the leather.

It's especially frustrating because in 2020 they gave us half way decent leather on dunks and now it's only collab pairs that get anything that doesn't look like garbage.

It's just Nike capitalizing off the hype knowing it will sell out no matter how cheap and terrible they are.

It's like a drug dealer knowing no matter how much they cut the product the fiends will still buy it.

My closet would be full of dunks if they kept the same materials they gave us in 2020.

the plasticky GR highs seem to fare better than the lows for what's its worth

 

[therefill]

There's like a new GR Dunk every week, so you just know the quality is not going to be exceptional.

I got the Syracuse highs. I disagree

 

[KanyIZZY]

Bruh.. I have those, Kentucky's and Spartan Low's. The highs are 100% kellogs boxes.. the lows only 94%. But hey.. maybe YMMV.

Ive been looking for black toe non SB dunks forever and found a pair of ID ones for sell in my size but I cant tell for the life of me If these are legit. Anyone know? I wonder if the quality of these are better than the pandas I own which are trash

I love green but the shine is a turn off.

Yeah it was. What I meant is that Nike seems to make shiny or metallic shoes typically womens release for whatever reason.

They were a women's release lol, and also shiny cardboard

But reminder that colors and shininess are not inherently masculine or feminine, it's just a social concept we've normalized

It’s just usually what Nike tends on releasing. Metallic, more vibrant colors or shiny materials are more often than none a womens release. Not saying I wouldn’t wear some because I would buy it is what it is.

 

[agoatnamedsally]

I've been in the UK the last week checking out size?, Note, and other shops and have seen multiple pairs sitting (Loden highs, University Red highs, white leather/platinum swoosh/aged midsole highs, Kentucky SB Orange Label highs, those crackled green highs, the Acid Wash highs, and some lows as well).

Honestly, I haven't even been tempted at retail because you can tell how trash the "leather" is holding them in hand. They have no real weight to them and you can tell they will crease as soon as you wear them... Plus, I've lost count of how many plastic Panda lows I've seen in the last week

Will definitely stick with my IDs and Curries until they sort this **** out (probably when the hype dies down)

[dhtowng]

They can have em lol

 

[cpf262]

I love my black/whites. It’s def unfortunate what’s happened with them tho lol
