2024 NIKE SB DUNK THREAD_____GRs and QSs added

[freeon]

Wouldve rathered if theyd just added the AJ1 as a common GR model... SB outsole, laces, & tongue tag and theyre good.

Couldve dropped pairs monthly and eventually gotten into AJ1SB collabs too... pro colorways -- esentially start off like how dunk sb's did and theyd be a welcome addition to the SB lineup

BP lies so much that the shop door says Push when you really have to Pull.

Can't lie, I chuckled.

Yeah...I'm a collector at heart.  Worst case, I want these for historical purposes.  Wanna see them in person before passing final judgment.  I like em enough to make an attempt at landing 'em, just don't love 'em.

 

Because 10 years ago if I said AJ1unk...

The same flame suit pic would be used

I agree. The AJ1 has been so beaten to death, it's amazing. I only mess with 85s at this point.

Might still have some 94s in storage.

The dunks has proven more successful at being able to carry a wider array of colors, materials, colorblockings, and incarnations - highs, lows, SBs, etc. (I still consider mids a fail though).

The Dunk, AF1, AM90, AM87, and AM95 are the are the absolute pinnacle of the brand's claasics because they've been able to support nearly endless variations. No Jordans have been able to do so much, so while they represent some of Nike's best efforts, they aren't the same blank palette those models are.

Sounds like you guys let what others say dictate how you feel.  I either want a shoe or I don't want a shoe and I can make that decision pretty quickly.

You're lying to yourself if you don't think other people influence your behavior. We are social animals. You buy mega popular shoes that people line up for in the streets. It's pretty tough to play the individuality card in the face of that. We are all influenced by others opinions, that's why forums like this exist and thrive.

But, I didn't read those posts they way you did either. I think there are two things at play.

1. Competing priorities - so, it's not necessarily a matter of wanting something or not, but rather people thinking when they get to purchase time (when the stops being abstract, and they have to spend the money) whether they want them enough at that time for that price. I think most of us want more stuff than we actually buy.

2. A lot of times, I think we fall in love with the idea of having something even more than actually having it. I have tons of stuff that I wanted when I bought - stuff that some people might even consider their grails - but that I got, opened a few times, and have been sitting in piles of boxes for years... or maybe even in offsite storage. So, I think it's good if people ask themselves whether they truly want something at the moment before they pull the trigger.

 

BIP dropping that knowledge, as always. really surprised you dont have 1 of these sneaker blogs hitting you up on the regular for editorials...REPPED

Anytime, brother.

Somebody once asked me if I was Method Man under another account. That was all the validation I needed. LOL.

I've had the opportunity to be featured in some blogs and stuff like that, but I've turned those things down because I think being a sneaker celeb is kind of lame. ...There are lots of other things, personally and professionally, that I'd rather be known for, or primarily seen as. Ya know.

If I did a feature or a profile, it would be to help support somebody who I'm cool with - like if they thought that could help bring attention to their brand, I'd do it to support them. For example, as I said, I'm cool with the guys at Image. If they wanted to do a shoot with me or something for one of their platforms, I'd probably do it. But, when the Complex's of the world call, I'm not really interested.

Doing writing for one of these outlets would be something I'd maybe consider if I was offered.

My wife is an 80s/90s TV junkie, and we both love sports too. She's constantly calling me into the other room and pausing scenes on the DVR where Nikes are visible and asking me "are those anything special?" We've recently been kicking around the idea of doing a kind of joint blog with sitcoms/sports/sneakers, where she talks a bit about the episode and I spitball a bit about the sneakers the character is wearing, and we discuss the teams tfrom that season that the characters are wearing. Could be fun. ...My wife is always amazed at how I can almost always figure out the original air date (year) of like any of these episodes by looking at the shoes the characters are wearing.

You know I'd def read that fam.

 

Amazing how all BP releases are "limited", they know what they're doing.

Oh yeah!?! 

I'd read it TWICE a day. 

 

[boosthog]

Feeling ittttttt

They run very tight btw. If you size up in 1's i would size up in these too.

The shoes have plenty of length but they get really narrow toward the pinky toe and as you know the material does not stretch.

 

[gatorbeltsnpattiemelts]

Easy pass for me.

correct me in I'm wrong---but what exactly is "SB'ish" about these shoes?? Look like a normal dunk to me

 

[kranestyle]

Excited about the 510 drop.  Hoping it won't be too hard on Saturday.  Still have PTSD from the Tiffanies.  

 

[onlydsdunks703]

people beg for a JB x SB colab knowing it will just be a AJ1 with a SB tongue tag and then question what it has to do with SBs....

 

[jordansf]

you all know how its gonna go, people gonna say "pass"

closer to RD, on feet pics, hype building...people gonna say "man these are growing on me"

RD comes people gonna say "SMH i really wanted these, EFF all bots"

Dead on!

 can't wait!

 

[sfjunglist]

One and only reference I'll make on the JBxSB. Just saw this on my local fb group :

"I'm punching foos in the mouth for these at 303 boards when they drop if I don't get a pair...staff and customers included""

I think she's asking what innovations did they make to the AJ1 to make it into an actual SB.  I agree that it just looks like an AJ1 with some gimmicky elements.  But did they beef it up in any way?  Zoom air?  Heel cup?  Extra padding?  etc.   

 

[donewithjs]

this guy on  the bay is selling DS concords size 11 for 120 obo def red flag

 

[ice-t]

Only 800 pairs? it's a must cop now. Lol.
I don't see how sb is in any part of this shoe that material on the tongue is greet though

 

[mints]

Carbon fiber in the sole, is that a full length version of what they're doing with the XX8? I'll wait and see what they say later, but it looks like the outsole is enclosing a full length carbon fiber plate.

SB concords or AJ11 concords?

 

[donewithjs]

[mints]

They were going for pretty cheap, FC has the average price listed as 175, my size is now 250 but it was at about 170 3 weeks ago.

replacement box and used? 120 is about all they'll get for them, if he's lucky.

 

[wvsfresh]

SPoT always takes care of me. I was gonna pass on them but I couldnt say no for $80 lol shoutout to the homie Eric! [emoji]128526[/emoji]
