I love how all those say "premium". No real premium dunk has come out in years. They just slap that tag on anything these days to het a higher pricepoint which is total bull. Older dunks with better quality used to cost $65 . sb is wack these days. We need sandy back

Those are nice. However if you feel a pair of heinekens or anything else from 2005-earlier, even those look crappy in comparison

So because they're not on par with early SB releases, that means that you wouldn't classify them as premium?
How elitist.

the term 'premium' is used very loosely nowadays...i agree that 2005-earlier is on another level of premium quality but you gotta admit that some of the recent releases can be classified as premium.

Premium gas from 2005 was probably better than premium gas in 2015. It's still premium.
Most of the SBs i own have pretty good quality. Y'all want luxury quality out of $100 skate shoes.

what's wrong with that? Not like the shoes have the latest tech in them. $100 dunks with good suede isn't a lot to ask for, imo.

We get those. I don't really remember what's premium and what's not. Name some premiums that you don't think were up to par quality wise.

But they weren't considered premium then. It was just the norm.

Thank you zach. I know that when people describe me, the term elitist is always the first thing they say.

The materials were. Just the misshapen sole/midsole thing.

I've never been of the mindset to care about the magic words of "PREMIUM"... I've only bought SB's I have wanted because I liked them or craved them... I agree with most quality back then kicks, music, movies, etc was WAYYY better than the quality you get today... especially at the desirable price point... BUT as they see it

Im literally cracking up right now. I just laced up those 19.99 disposables....... besides the QS these are the most comfortable SB dunk lows (outside of 1st series, pink, and silver box) I've ever worn.

I'm actually talking in general, not just the premium dunks. The quality in most gr dunks is trash now, and feel like that plays a role on why we see most going straight to outlets and get heavily discounted

Are dunk lows .5 small? i remember wearing Nike SB Dunk Low Premium QS “Beijings” for a week and they were too narrow. Maybe I need to switch out or break in the insoles.. I am 10.5 in roshes, AF1s and kobes
Also, what is the going price for del la soul lows?

of course we are not gonna get the quality from 05,. im just sayin they slap premium on way to many shoes these days. shoes that could have been considered premium used to be just pro.
i love sb's for sure but i was not a fan of the transition to the new technology or NT. the heal pods suck, the backs of dunks are just so still now. i mean we used to think that gold and blue box sucked. but these days. so many nice , cool looking dunks come out but they are just not comfortable anymore. i still buy ones i like but i hold off alot now because of these reasons. dunk highs especially are so stiff. my pee wee's or even send helps. so soft and 10x more comfortable. the difference is night and day in comfort.
so yes i have a problem with there terminology. and now dunk lows cost $92. that to me is alot and those are just the pros not premiums. then they put out a premium , charge more but to me they are not even close to premium, but hey thats just my opinion
