Yes.

 

[fingerollin]

those are terribly unimpressive

 

[icqboy51]

sad, these aint even decent. a GR-like type dunk, give it a gum sole and make it limited and it will sell.

please dont say the price tag is anything more than $ 90

Nice they look good can't wait to see the other city dunks!!

I actually liked these up until the point I read they were limited. I'm a sucker for simple colored shoes. I wonder what L.A. will be receiving and whatstores will carry it. I can already see the beasts lining up.

 

[dmxgod]

I thought it was gonna b somethin worth while..

 

[ienycepnoyi]

wack

 

[rolla808]

I like them a lot but for such a limited shoe it's very weak.

 

[Mister Meaner]

these are so un-inspired, I'm happy they're so limited.

If anyone is going to sleep in the street for this shoe.

You will do that for any type of shoe.

The only orginal and nice part of the shoe is the tongue.

[acekilla408]

[stresseddesserts]

Those are SO WEAK. Nike is pathetic. Terrible execution of what could have been a dope concept. Plus, 2008 isn't the 25th anniversary of the Nike Dunk eventhough Nike seems to be making it.

I like the city exclusive idea, but they should have taken a page from '99-'00 and done a city attack series. Two dunks in each city and they would bethe reverse of each other. White midsoles with no contrast stitching and only leather uppers. Each city would have logical colors for their sneakers (insteadof PINE GREEN for NYC. What was Nike thinking?). So for example, New York would have blue/orange and orange/blue (for the Knicks/Mets), LA would havepurple/yellow and yellow/purple, Chicago would have black/red and red/black and so on. I don't care if Nike would end up repeating a few previouslyreleased colorways. It would be worth it.

These are terrible. All of the shoes in the series are basically the same shoe with different shoe strings... Definitely not being "true to yourcity"...
