I try to avoid using the term hypebeast but that right there is pure hypebeast logic
"hypebeast we know about 'cha, don't buy the shoe, unless they pop'la"

I copped the entire 1st set for $200 bucks from Nocturnal
that was my hook up because I supported them more than just SB's

SB's started dropping in 1999, except they weren't called SB's, they were called "Pro B's". Fat tongue dunks, regular ol' nike box.
The official Nike SB was born in 2002, hard to find at first cause Nike had zero credibility in the skateboarding world, then shops started charging way above MSRP to "stay in business". I remember De La Soul High's dropped and most shops in the LA area started the bidding at $175
{), tons of places had them for $200+ out of the gate.
SB's gained traction in SoCal really fast.

Hate the bag of death. I would rather pay extra for shipping. I've had to complain about two bags of death in the past month. Luckily I got some cash credit at both places.

I was in High School during the golden era of AF1 releases, and I don't even remember seeing them until that song came out. Even when faced with proof that they were available in Eastbay catalogs I just remember flipping past those pages with the "old stuff"

Someone (KTH I think) bought out the whole first run of Dunk SBs in SoCal before there was any hype.

While the Pro Bs did indeed come out in 99, I'm not sure if I'd include them as being the first SBs, they're a separate beast onto their own especially since the line continued a bit after SBs actually started coming out, and there were thin tongued pairs that released with Pro B on the box.

I was sad they didn't put out a single pair of the Airwalk 86er during their 25th anniversary releases of old models.

They weren't hard to find because Nike had no creditability; they were hard to find because Nike wanted to build hype off the Dunk so they limited them to in store only at a limited amount of shops so people would buy their other shoes like the URL, E-Cue and Angus when they introduced them the following two years
Nike was smart by limiting them because they acted on the "support your local" steez which clearly has worked

Passed on the j-packs
I said yes to a pair of Bitusa for 275 tho... Its not that great if a deal in my eyes but still happy about them... My connect should of let me have them for what he paid, but what goes around comes around when he's gonna need some runners he can't get..

One of my favorite pairs, man. You won't regret it.
on the nostalgic bit, these came out around when I was first getting into sneakers. I was able to just call my local and have them hold me a pair of these for two hours, no problem.

Honestly, it's a shame Nike killed the Nike Skateboarding page, it had all the releases on there, in order.
Guess it depends on region, I know in SoCal, the Pro B run was greeted with the same response that the first run of Jordan retro's got. Clearance prices, clearance stores. Couldn't get rid of them.
Once they got rebranded, the hype levels went up quick, not only in SoCal but the entire state. Hype was high in SoCal and NorCal.

Dope, I'd pay double that for a pair in my sizeFor today
Get out of here.. just yesterday I was watching a clip where koston skates in blazers and I was thinking about how dope a K1 Mid would be. Def stoked for these to drop
Fresh, almost pulled the trigger on these a couple times.
LOL!

Anyway, copped the Royals off premier with the quickness, glad to see theres not much ruckus around this release compared to what everyone expected back when BasedLaRock told us these'd be dropping a few months ago.

Royals are in the no tax free shipping zone. A CCS discount would be nice too. If not on to the next. I really want to see some updates on the upcoming store collabs (black sheep, concepts, and yes even BP).

Very happy with these, but this 11.5 is HUGE! Any pointers on how to make them fit better besides double socking it
