2024 NIKE SB DUNK THREAD_____GRs and QSs added

Lol, that's funny, it's the opposite for me. I was so stoked for the re-release of the Griffey Max 1's but passed on them when I tried on the shoe in person. The suede was rough, fit was tight and worst of all, the color isn't the same color as the OG freshwaters. I was really hoping they'd do the kid right on these and thought they looked good but then they flubbed the US release so my new theory is... Nike hates Seattle.
Yeah these the good ones from 2011....not the 2016 rerelease....the color was even off on those...
 
What's there to be confused about?! They dropped the ball on those dunks....it doesn't even make sense to me.....
I'm not sure what else they were supposed to do with it. It was a little nod to griffy in a dunk form. Mid made the most sense to size and shape. They noted the details. So no it's not that obvious to me how they "dropped the ball"
 
i'm not sure how the freshwater joints could've been interpolated any better onto a dunk tbh...big big salty that they're not dropping here outside of seattle
Seems like a stupid decision, on the surface.

My theory - production has been eff-ed because of Covid. So they made what they could. Dumped what little they had towards minimal demand in Europe. Partnered with 35th for Seattle.
 
Griffey’s look really nice and I’m not even a fan of mids. I think these are possibly the best mids to ever release. If they were an easy cop I’d consider grabbing them to skate. I had the griptapes back in the day for skating purposes and loved them. First pair of dunks I ever skated.

Lemme get these '01 Ichiro PE 1s instead.
 
The dunks are very cool, but wouldn't say cooler. Cooler than the griffey mids for sure though. I remember when Sandy Boedecker posted those a couple years back on his instagram. I didn't know nike posted the detailed photos for the archive thanks for sharing.
 
Anybody know why my infareds came in two different style boxes....also these came from Canada..

Damn under retail in this era of sbs is damn near unheard of. Just a steal off ebay or what?
No from a lil boutique in Canada...notice the cad retail tags...they had both 11. 11.5 and grabbed a 13 for my homie... Still waiting for those to come. Also grabbed two pair of spectrums that haven't arrived yet either.... That canada post shipping to usps is weird.
