I personally think they’re OK, but not over $1000 OK. Even if every detail that affiliated them with Travis was turned to say a regular Nike or Dunk detail (like the debossed print around the back collar just saying “DUNK” or “NIKE,” the tongue tag being the standard “Nike SB w/ Swoosh,” or the print under the paisley being just normal Elephant print), the shoe would definitely still be sought after. Lots of details, and a unique combination of details and such, that the shoes definitely are different. But for me personally, they’re too much (paisley mixed with flannel print?), and I’m not a huge fan of the colors (weird eggshell beige/khaki and brown and black, whereas more black would’ve been better IMO (like a black outsole)). Their uniqueness and details would’ve made them sought after regardless, but them being hundreds of dollars above some classics from the different Dunk eras over 10 years ago is SOLELY due to the TS affiliation IMO. But not knocking anyone who loves them. Opinions are dope like.
Oh, yeah, the attachment to Travis Scott definitely inflated the value of the sneaker - anybody who believes otherwise is a fool.
If the name wasn't attached I think it'll still be one of the better Dunks released because of the material used and the uniqueness of the sneaker (paisley design, plaid medial, elephant print underneath). Not $1,000+ off the bat, but still high in value.
As for the colors, I personally think it's very dope. The khaki bottom hits different man.
