On the way to pick up my Huf win.

 

[aceofjays]

My local just teased they’re finally gettin an SB account

 

[bob sacamano]

This shop requiring a kickflip for yutos

 

[p0tat0 5alad]

I don’t care who does it, gatekeeping is corny AF. I could maaaaybe understand if the shoe was a collab with that shop. But other than that, nah

 

[BabyKiller138]

The whole kickflip gimmick is such a dead horse.

 

[ccastro02]

I swear, dunks are the only shoe that is gatekeeped in this fashion. Screams try hard.

That’s like saying anyone that buys jordan shoes, needs to be able to dunk to prove their worthiness?
Or Need to be able hit a baseball to buy a pair of griffies?

My local store, the only one in the area that gets SBs, requires flatbar tricks/kickflips sometimes as well. Other times, they do raffles. I skated mostly bowls when I was younger and was never great at tricks, so whenever they require a trick, I can’t go for that shoe.

I think stomping on the box (unless it's a special box) and/or wearing the shoes out of the store is more than enough. Skateboard/Jedi mind tricks is OD.

Stomping on or taking the box is corny too… I have hundreds of pairs of shoes, all in the original boxes, either stacked, or some on racks… I’d like to keep the trend going.


Let me buy my shoes, and do as I please with them.

Wonder if they got folks signing waivers.

Never could kick flip completely

Imagine rolling your ankle, or breaking your wrist to get some kicks….

You can’t do an Ollie?

I get the gate keeping comments, but it’s honestly their store so it’s their rules. I could kick flip years ago, but idk about now though. People who can’t kick flip in Hawaii can just try their luck on SNKRS or apb. It’s not like Hawaii doesn’t have two spots with sb accounts.

If I owned a shop. I’d make folks have to dunk from a free throw line in one attempt to purchase a pair of hyped jordans. They gotta bring their own basketball too

 

[DOA_heelflip_540]

They didn’t say how it needed to be done
I’ll take my yutos now

went for some dunks. end up with a boot

 

[Trill Knight]

the whole kickflip to get a pair is super lame. Its also wack when shops force you to cop your size so you cant buy as a gift for someone. At the end of the day all that matters is the shop sells their pairs. Like others have said, Footlocker isnt making people dunk or hit free throws to grab basketball shoes, some of these shops are ****in silly.

 

[JPS]

Who cares. If you don’t wanna kick flip just cop from another store

 

[vinnuendo]

Dunks are basketball shoes that's why it's called a dunk

 

[DonRafa]

it’s all fun and games till they get sued by a handicapped person

 

[vinnuendo]

US_11 just tweeted out plum dunk pics. They're the exact same pics as 2020.
