I honestly didnt even know Nike was making SB Dunks anymore...
And I know some people hate it but I still love my Mork and Mindys

So you want SB to stay dead? Dont you want to at least try to revive it? And to refer to your later post, I am letting them buy, but the problem wth today's SBs (dunks) is that quality is worse than ever and the cws have no thought in them, they dont appeal to the majority of heads like the old ones did. Plus they are too abundant which also reduces desire. I dont like them for the cws and quality and I think we deserve better because we are the ones that put Nike SB on the map, we made them popular, we led them to think they could reduce quality and stop making sought after cws, but I know we are not a group of people that allows itself to be manipulated like that. We know we are being taken advantage of, yet we dont try to prevent the situation. I am standing up to Nike SB, finally, and I have full confidence that if enough people stop buying dunks then Nike SB will take notice. I want to make it so we have the leverage on them and want to make it so we dictate what they do, not the other way around. If this succeeds and SB becomes popular again then we will have the power and have what we want again.Originally Posted by Savraj1
There's no need to boycott. Let the high school beasts who think they're doing it continue to cop the newer SBs.
As legit collectors, we know nsb is dead. But notice the people copping SBs nowadays are newboyz jerking fools at high schools and middle schools.
that doesn't even make sense to me. so if people make fewer purchases and buy the shoes they really like and don't want to pass on, wouldn't it be better if they can go to a nearby / local store and buy it with no hassle? i wish my the malls near me had stores that sold sb's. it'd be way more convenient for me and i could go to the store and see them in person. i also don't need to wait for shipping from an online store out of state.Originally Posted by ankles2008

These kind of comments I don't understand, do people need it to be secretive to be "cool"? Who cares who is able to get it, if you like it get it, if you don't then don't buy it. From GRs to Tier 0 releases as long as I like them I could care less who wears them and how many where them.
realistically most cant cop everything that they like, so it takes something specil for them ti cop a shoe in general. Thats how i nfeel at least. i only haveso much money
so whats happenin to their other division, da 6.0 line?Originally Posted by ankles2008

Yes they are expensive, but too bad. SB needs to wow us with creativity not former successful models, that is the easy way out and not only that, but retros would be a slap in the face to a lot of sneakerheads, it would kill the legacy of all those cws. I feel SB is better than JB because they dont need to retro for success as JB does
your whole approach is whacked out....nike SB's main consumer are skaters, and sneakerheads just happened to be part of da braintrust.Originally Posted by elcerrito91
We need to keep Nike SB in check and make them realize we are not like the average JB consumer, one that can be manipulated. We are better than that, and the reason I have so much confidence in this boycott is because unlike JB, SBs main consumer is us SNEAKERHEADS.
@Ninjahood, the dunk's main consumer is sneakerheads though Nike SB would like them to be skaters, the way I see it as long as they are popular and making money why should they care who buys the dunks? Also skaters, USED to be the dunks main consumer (they were cheaper for one thing, I skate I skate dunks, but I'd say most skaters would rather pay 65-75 than 83-100 dollars per pair). I'm sure ayipapi can vouch for this, I have a question, at your shop specifically, when kids come in and buy the latest dunks are they generally skaters or sneakerheads?Originally Posted by Ayipapi
@[email protected] to what dude is telling you...DUNKS are retro's..what you saying you can't reproduce a colorway??? That sounds stupid at best...
Back to answering your response...YOU are making the terms sneakerhead and hype beast relevant by choosing to define yourself...I'm neither...i don't need definition...again..I'm just a guy who likes sneakers...What your missing about my post is the kids who CHOOSE to define themselves have and will move on as there taste, knowledge, and diversity of sneakers has a herd mentally and currently the glow of SB has simmered....
In terms of stock and ordered...the order sheet comes out months in advance..there are only like 4 to 5 models put out each month which could be a mix of dunks, blazers, etc...generally its a FSR of each...Bigger name shops such as Supreme, DQM, Premier etc get QS regardless of volume purchased...Smaller shops with larger vouome, SHOP, CCS, NJ Skateshop...get both QS drops as well as the MUCH need QS restock once it's available....BUT..they also purchase MORE then the regular run sheet as they generally have mutilple locations...So to reward them..when/if the restock is available..they get it first....My local spot has restocked..multiple times on EVERY item with the exception of the Skunks...BUT they've also carried EVERY SB since the first line was produced...
And finally quality..Dude stop it already..again..take ALL that nonsense to a JB thread...these are supposed to be skate shoes...with the exception of the padding...Even if it were true...NO ONE cares (in the skate community) about the things your crying about....The padding in the shoe changed..so did the soles but that was based on recommendations of the riders..it has nothing to do with quality...So please stop it...
JB kids cry about quality cause they have to compare retro's to OG models...since your not in favor of retro's how can you compare quality??? I can compare and have a quality argument with Jordan 3 OG cements and retro cements ...how can I compare a pair of Loon's to a pair of flash SB's ??? Two completely DIFFERENT sneakers...different materials..different variations of leather and suede...
So just to end this...Nike SB is not dead..it's just different and "aged" line..over production didn't kill it but forced it to change...I would say Nike SB is very similar to Bape...they kinda grew themselves outta business..
