eBays just arrived, hit on lobsters at my local yesterday
 
Geez, this thread is filled with too many newer people (2012+) who have no clue about history. Clearly this shoe isn't about the look. It's a collectors item and Nike's way of paying homage to both Sandy and OG collectors. If you were around back then, seeing these come to life is awesome, ESPECIALLY releasing like this. I haven't bought a pair of Dunks for myself since like '06ish or so and guess what, I'm about to pay resell for these because I'm here FOR THE STORY.

If Jordan Brand ever releases Chicago 1's with that modified black strap from back when Jordan messed up his ankle, we don't need anyone saying "These are ugly " DUH! They're a collectors item! Chicago 1.5's were hideous!!! They were more or less created for COLLECTORS!

Everyone knows the story but it doesn’t change the fact that the shoe is still ugly asf. It is what it is lol
 
I personally only loved and grabbed 7.
The FroSkates are my favorite SB this year & also my SOTY. I love those things. The other pairs I grabbed are the Orange Lobsters, Green Apples, both the SF & NY Hufs, the first, white, Be Trues, & the Halloween Neckfaces.

I was looking forward to Chlorophylls, but they ultimately didn’t move the needle much for me so I passed. I do think the Skate Like a Girls, Crushed, and Why So Sads are all clean, but nothing I NEED so I’m good.
 
Black and white orange label retros (?) are nice, have those same out?

Didn’t even realize passport dunks are from this year.

I might have to say chlorophyll, and crushed are my top 2 drops of the year. Overall solid year for nike sb.
