2024 NIKE SB DUNK THREAD_____GRs and QSs added

[Trill Knight]

I dont like how they call it OG tooling but its not. The main dif between the old and new SB dunks is the V shape on top of the foot. The new "OG cut" dunks still look off and are uncomfortable because of losing that shape.

 

[Liquid Swords]

agree that V is the best

Well they did do some other versions but yeah no other mainline changes. Decon, elite. Personally I thought the decons were one of the worst feeling shoes I ever put on my feet. Wore them around the house and they felt worse than barefoot. Maybe I woulda needed a half size up.

I think the fact that higher profile collabs go back to OG tooling tells us they know OG tooling is better lol

That's kind of the rub isn't it? They show that they can go back to the OG tooling on a couple of releases a year, which seems weirdly cost ineffective, so why not just go back to the OG tooling if it's better?

was getting ready to make a trade for futuras but I had him send me pics and noticed the pair had a snaggle tooth so I passed.

I saw this and wondered how to stitch it back in. Googled it and was surprised how many people had a similar issue with other Nikes.

I like both but I give a slight edge to the Rammellzee.
Black and gum, Supreme, keychain, laceholder, extra laces and didn’t release on SNKRS.
I’ll have a better look when my Futuras arrive.

So this pretty much confirms it then…Can’t wait…

That’s an easy fix. Take the tip of a blade and push the threads in. I’ve fixed a few pairs like that with ease.

these seem to be popping up at local shops in masses... wonder if these will be an easy cop?

 

[Chopsticks]

Curry dunk came in today glad i got them for retail instead of paying $400+ lmao

The hard part is choosing which lace to go with, factory cream laces or white sb laces

V shape comparison on pre-Koston SB dunks vs "retooled" dunks vs new "OG Cut" dunk high and low. This is what killed new SB dunks for me. Where the inside seams and stitching sit on the sides of my foot now vs then where it was on top destroys comfort.

 

[Trill Knight]

I also threw in a newer non SB dunk low for comparison.

 

[Trill Knight]

Just remembered I have this newer non SB dunk high for comparison as well.

Thanks for sharing. You and I are def on the same page in this critique. Even before they changed the heel pod and sole and eyelet flap on new tool SBs, they started this new shape. I copped loons at release back in the day and they had OG sole but the vamp was soooo wide. They just didn't look right. It's even worse on high tops like statue of libertys

I've owned and worn like 5 blue box or later SB dunks for that reason.

 

[Trill Knight]

The new eyelet flap makes them look like a Jordan 1 instead of a dunk. I dont mind the heel pods on lows because it doesnt change the look and I dont notice a huge dif in fit. The eyelet and lack of V shape is what killed them for comfort and looks for me. I have still copped a lot of "retooled" SB dunks but over the years I ended up selling most because I cant wear them for long. Theyre funny looking feet killers.

Hoping the Supersonics SB releases soon

Hoping the Supersonics SB releases soon

SuperSonics aren’t until fall. “Holiday 2024”

 

[vegetaray123]

It’s been the “new” mold so long now that we should all probably brace ourselves for the ~This ain’t how Dunk SB’s supposed to look~ pushback if / when they actually take the model back to OG specs …There’s kids out there that grew up on the “new” mold…

Those Statue of Liberty highs were so dope but man the comfort was terrible.
Sold for a good chunk of cash, they still go for a lot today especially my size 12

Bruh I got SOLs used and clean for maybe like $175 in 2018 or 2019. I tried them on in the house, walked around a few steps, listed them right back where I got em from

 

[lilbrad407]

SOL and Tiffany highs were unbearable in terms of comfort.
