Do you bro. As long as someone isn’t jeopardizing their financial security over some shoes, I don’t know why so many get hung up on the whole “I’d never spend XYZ dollars on XYZ shoe.” Keep doing you. It doesn’t cost us anything. Never knock another person’s hustle, and never check another person’s pockets (though I might not exactly like or agree with one, or the other, or both).kicks like frags and off OW 1s yea, those are past the point of wearing. dunkys may wind up in that realm also tho.
Now as to the comment about the Chunkys maybe eventually being in the “realm” of the Frags or OW1s, they could be your and anyone’s grails, and that’s totally fine, but generally speaking I’d say no way would they be in the “realm” of those other mentioned kicks. Though I guess MAYBE they could reach OW UNC prices ($2100 ish). I’m not even a huge fan of the Frags, and definitely not a fan of the OW 1s. But just significance and impact wise, IMO no. Virgil Abloh’s collab with Nike/Jordan was super unique, the collab in itself was and is a big deal, and in the fashion world (I don’t even fk with fashion like that) he’s huge. And Fujiwara is both a founder and pioneer of Japanese fashion, and one of Japan’s first hip hop DJs, so his first Jordan 1 collab (we’ll see if he ever makes another one down the line) is a huge deal also. Whether people think the Chunkys look dope or not, they are just a collab with an ice cream company. IMO, they’ll never even be on the level of the Skunks, any of the City Series pairs, the Heinekens, and a bunch of other Dunk SBs (or Pros before SBs). Again, not shtting on anyone’s love for them, and people having different opinions on kicks is what’s so great about them, but I personally don’t think that the Chunkys are gonna have some impact or significance that stands the test of time in terms of Dunks. They’ll always be quirky, they were limited, and if someone is thinking about 2020 shoes specifically, they’ll be on the top or near the top. But if we’re thinking about Dunks, they didn’t exactly do anything super special IMO.
