The red string/thread of fate describes an invisible red thread that connects two destined lovers. The thread is tied around the ankles of the lovers, and is said to be visible to the gods but not the naked eye. The thread can stretch or tangle, but it will never break, and the two lovers will eventually find each other.
Yeah I love that. It’s bs but I love it! I read it was tied around the pinky finger. But I also read that there was Chinese and Japanese versions of it. I didn’t have time to go down the whole rabbit hole figuring it out but cool story nonetheless. I also thought it was neat that it’s the “city of love” which is Paris so it sort of combines Chinese legend and Paris the city of love into one story … which is funny because there is a billion dollar replica of Paris in China that is mostly a giant ghost town.
@@DavidBluetile Love it too, man. I found it cool how they melded both Eastern and Western cultures together e.g. the insoles on the Light-Bone pair with the different skin tones as you mentioned and the Red String of Fate to tie it all together, paired with the 'City of Love' theme. Making Saint Valentine proud! What a neat touch with nice attention to detail on this pack.
I feel the white pair could have had a little more details or slightly better materials like the burgundy pair has it seems kinda plain but. They are GR's so I cant expect anything crazy. The only gripe about the white pair is the satin material thats probably not the best material for a skate shoe if ur actually gonna skate them.
I have both pairs and I can tell you the burgundy ones are super snug on me. I would definitely recommend going up at least a half size. The coconut ones were ok. The width is what felt tight on me
Appreciate the video review and sizing tips 🙏 Now for the big problem sourcing a pair in a state with no skate shops SNKRS App hates me 🤦♂️ If your ever looking to open a new shop CT really needs one 🙏👍🏼✌🏼
@@DavidBluetile this is what im feeling like lately, makes me more hesitant to give my opinion😅 i ended up trading for half size down on bubbles and buttercup bc of the satin heel slip. Weird because i have always went TTS on SB dunks. I also half sized down on the Jordan 4 SB I hit on TTS burgundy crush from SNKRS but no luck on the coconut milk.. with the Satin and you mentioning they are more forgiving i think ill try my chance at half size down from resale on the lighter pair. I absolutely can not stand heel slippage smh picky feet. Swear I'm a true 9.25 or something
Would you say the material of the coconut will wear out fast on flicks and would your foot slip out from the material of the collar area? If it’s smooth and slippery?
Yeah I think the silky stuff would rip. Super glue! Haha the slippery inside sucks at first but stops slipping after a while. My Faust were like that on the inside and they’re fine now
Apparently this is the first of many paris themed sbs coming this year. I don’t mind I just hope it’s done RIGHT. These are nice. I like the white pair more than the red pair.
Yes a ton of Paris inspired stuff to kick off the Olympics. I think everyone is going to be stoked! If this is the first to kick it off I think we’re starting on the right foot.
Do you think the white dunks would get dirty after wearing them for 30 minutes walking in the streets? I get the vibe that they attract dirt so easily making them a pain to keep them clean.
I get that for sure, I remember travelling to a small skate shop to buy sb's when they came out. I had a few dunks. Paid retail. But now I only see missing the drop, then going to stockx and every shoe has arbitrary prices based on what people like or hate. If I was that age again, I wouldn't be into that at all. You look up a shoe and it's $300, $400. I sold a pair of shoes that I paid $100 back in 2006, on ebay for $400 almost $500. You can't skate it or you get dirty looks from a kid that thinks you're destroying a nugget of mythril. @@DavidBluetile
Hey. I've noticed on the sb website they show the sail box era..but neither sb came in a sail box. ? Any ideas why they are advertising as sail box era. ! Other than that nice quality
I think I explained that in this video. But to explain again the sb website names the box era not the box color each shoe comes in. We are in the sail box era meaning quickstikes that come out in this era come in a sail box and all GR will come in a purple box. Orange label = brown box. Some broad distribution stuff may still come in teal boxes We just exited the rainbow box era so there will be no more rainbow box quickstrikes. These particular dunks in this video are GR dunks vs the Rayssa are a QS. Etc I hope that clears things up!!
Thx for the video . White pair looks ok , burgundy one is not tempting me much . I guess that even if I live in Paris , I will pass on on both of these shoes :)
Thanks so much, I googled it too, but wanted to confirm with you. I really appreciate the prompt reply! You're the best with these videos! Very helpful!
@@DavidBluetile lol. L for SNKRS drop. Somehow managed to grab a pair at the only skate shop in town that gets SBs. They dropped on a Saturday, guess it was a quiet day downtown. Passed on the white pair but love the burgundy pair. Great materials
Both pairs just needed contrasting mid/outsoles. The whole tonal bottoms (even with Color theory book of colors pairs) just aint it. Prefer the burgandy tbh give lobster/cigar vibes. Black midsole would have really set it off.
Quick strikes are called “energy product” and can speak to market trends more quickly by telling current stories. It’s more of addition to the line. GRs are in line product that we order when we see the seasonal line…. Uhhh does that make sense? Like… currently we are ordering shoes for holiday 24 …. There will be no quickstrikes on our orders because those are “injected” into the line … umm quickly ? Haha
I’m not sure how goat works but what do you mean a China tag? Like the shipping origin was from China? Does the seller ship direct to the customer? Or does the seller ship to goat for verification first and then goat ships to seller? I don’t have a lot of experience with buying after market product but I can’t ask my sneaker group if you give me more details. Didn’t goat change their name?
They just change the box color every so many years. Rainbow boxes were the QS boxes but now the QS boxes are sail or cream as you called it. The purple box is for GR releases.
Do you follow me on insta? Follow my broadcast channels for info about this kinda stuff. They released at the beginning of the week but were not a Nike online dealer so we can’t sell online. You can call the shop and we can send an invoice. 11-7 eastern time tomorrow. On detail. That’s an actual knit sweater not a crew neck sweatshirt
I already left a comment here, but i just can't get over how beautiful the white ones are 😭😭😭. So elegant with the satin like ballet shoes and the creamy color, the minimalistic look that subtly draws you in to more details the more you look at it.. the red thread and the sole design is more beautiful than on the burgundy ones. It's such a beautiful, clean and neat fusion of romantic elements from paris, asia.. Can you convince nike to make some smaller sizes for women? 🥹🥹😭😭 Ive never wanted any pair this bad lol... And honestly i didnt find any other white/coconut milk colorway that's this good or any other sneaker with this beautiful satin/velvetty look except maybe strangelove which is too loud in my pov
I hate to fully say yes but I would. The white gum carry over fits a little more forgiving than these. I think in any case if you can only get your tts they would stretch out
I def love these but… hella distracted. I haven’t been able to focus at all. We just signed a lease on the space next door to grow our screen printing biz, applying for some grants, it’s tax season, Valentine’s Day release, skate shop day release, work wear pack…. And my house is a wreck! Haha yeah I’m way distracted. Disappointed that the videos haven’t been what I want them to be but!! Also… about to grow the studio space. *deep breath*
It says “sail box era” but as you look it lists every shoe coming out now as “sail box era” because that is the QS box of this time. Like… fogs could say “rainbow box era” even though they also came in purple box. Ishods also say “sail box era” so that’s just how they categorize their shoes… based on the current QS box

I guess I just found my wife’s valentines gift, all I gotta do is print this comment an put it in the shoe. Arigato!!
Since the white (bone) pair was rumored, it just made me think of the Dover Street dunks with the suede. The bone pair are very nice.
The statue is called " Cain" by Henri Vidal.Made in 1896 located in Paris, France.
Thanks! I’m so uncultured. Haha
@@DavidBluetile Google did help a little!😂
they should've made the double layer of the swoosh red on the white pair.. would've been the chef's kiss
Burgundy ones are dope asf a must cop for me 👍🏾 thanks for the in depth review

That’s exactly what I’m sayin! Yes! Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the advice! I won the pair in white in my usual m6.5/w8, I’ll make sure to go for .5 up for burgundy
Wow that’s alot of details, hope I can grab the burgundy pair
Man the material is nice on the burgundy
They’re both sick. I think the white got more entries at Bluetile
@@DavidBluetile welp… I overslept on the SNKRS drop congrats to those that got em salutes
Didn’t like the materials on the white pair at first but you’ve changed my mind💯
Appreciate the video review and sizing tips 🙏 Now for the big problem sourcing a pair in a state with no skate shops SNKRS App hates me 🤦♂️ If your ever looking to open a new shop CT really needs one 🙏👍🏼✌🏼
Same boat bro. None of the skate shops around me carry Nike. Said it’s because the minimum order is too high 😢
The Yuto fitting is so strange to me. Me and everyone else I know says they fit snug. I’d say Crenshaws fit the best for me personally
Man a lot of times I think shoes are like jeans. Buy five of the same pair of jeans and none of them fit alike.
@@DavidBluetile this is what im feeling like lately, makes me more hesitant to give my opinion😅 i ended up trading for half size down on bubbles and buttercup bc of the satin heel slip. Weird because i have always went TTS on SB dunks. I also half sized down on the Jordan 4 SB

We are getting these soon I believe. Thanks for the review David. Love Bluetile 💙
Thanks again for checking it out!

Yeah I think the silky stuff would rip. Super glue! Haha the slippery inside sucks at first but stops slipping after a while. My Faust were like that on the inside and they’re fine now
Materials look great a bit plane tho. The would look great with a contrasting white laces (the burgundy pair)

I’m criddlin these. Might have a pair coming my way this week. Can’t wait to skate them. Sick review 💗
I mean… realistically how many crids could a criddle be criddlin if a criddler could criddle crids?
@@DavidBluetile if I ever win the lottery there will many usps crids criddled 😮💨
Do you think the white dunks would get dirty after wearing them for 30 minutes walking in the streets? I get the vibe that they attract dirt so easily making them a pain to keep them clean.
Yeah maybe so! But I skate in almost all my shoes eventually so I’m prepared for it. I’d just wear them until they get dirty and then skate em
Glad to finally see these. Can't wait. That ending killed me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I haven't bought a pair of dunks since I was 15 years old... too much hassle lol.
It’s not that crazy you just have to try a little bit. I like it the buzz. Nothing exciting about things just sitting on shelves

Just got my pair from SB restock on Nike along with the royal blue pair
white pair looks great, but they also look like a dirt magnet
Oh for sure.
No cream box, I’m sad, sick shoes none the less. Thanks David for another great watch
Yeah they aren’t quickstikes. Most everything that people have seen leak so far our general release dunks.
Just got the white pair a couple days ago. How do you think I should clean them?😊
Reshoevn8r and lots of hope
I just told myself, I wasn’t going to buy anymore shoes and then hit on the Burgundy ones . I may have a problem lol, All the Best,
Hahaha
Won a raffle for the bone pair from my local shop! First sb cop in a while, now I can finally participate in the community poll 🤣
Hahaha hell yeah
Looks like the sole on the emerald rise dunk idk maybe..great video 💙🟦
Thank you! 💙🟦
The size is the same for me but i always stick to 11.5 in Nike SB and it really depends on thr materials.
Lots of people say that
How are we calling SBs a general release
Both are a must cop, really cool details on both
Yeah for sure. Story materials. Full package
Had to buy my maroon pair on stockx.. that being said I HATE the resell market.
Yeah the resell market sucks. Bots make it all super unfair
Wow those sweaters look awesome
I saw lot of people having these in the cream box, ohhh boy people be having fakes man
cant trust everyone some guys are so desperate they will show fake sneakers just to get a early vid out.
Thx for the video . White pair looks ok , burgundy one is not tempting me much . I guess that even if I live in Paris , I will pass on on both of these shoes :)
Bluetile what’s your favorite color?
Yo David whats your very favorite shoe of all time?
Maybe just a good ol chuck taylor
white one is beautiful
for sure!
I really wish the light bone was available for women. Do you know if they will be releasing this in women's sizing?
Not women’s specifically but small men’s sizes
Oh, I'm a uk 4, i guess the smallest men's size released is 6? I don't know if that would be an equivalent?
@@sahanam8039 it’s pretty easy to find a conversion online. I think the smallest we got is a men’s 5. The chart I read said that is a uk 4.5

baaaaaaaakaaaaaaaaa
Very nice sweaters and dunks. I thought you mentioned tees to this pack? Hoodie is nice!
They sold out already. For some reason those came super early. We may have some more shipping late though
Why are there raffles do you guys only get a very small amount of shoes
I'm definitely signing up to take my Ls on these!
Any luck on these?
@@DavidBluetile lol. L for SNKRS drop. Somehow managed to grab a pair at the only skate shop in town that gets SBs. They dropped on a Saturday, guess it was a quiet day downtown. Passed on the white pair but love the burgundy pair. Great materials
Already got the burgundy’s gonna lace swap them with white laces
How did it look?
Both pairs just needed contrasting mid/outsoles. The whole tonal bottoms (even with Color theory book of colors pairs) just aint it. Prefer the burgandy tbh give lobster/cigar vibes. Black midsole would have really set it off.
I’m a fan of the tonal soles. Ya gotta mix it up sometimes
love the bone pair. would love to snap a pair for myself.
Burgundy pair reminds me of the SB Dunk High Cigar City
🙌spot🙌
Maybe i need boff…but burgundy is a must!
I tried em on with my olive green dickies… sheeeeesh.
Whats the difference between a quick strike and a GR?
Quick strikes are called “energy product” and can speak to market trends more quickly by telling current stories. It’s more of addition to the line.

It’s a Korean/Japan Tag. I do a research and must of the comments said They are legit. Waiting for your answer!
You mean that tag that denotes where it is made?
@@DavidBluetile I guess. The tag is attached like the old laces bag.
I like the burgundy ones a lot more. I think the materials on the white one makes it unwearable.
That white one looks amazing but definitely gonna have to tiptoe trying to keep em clean.
POOR MAN burgundy LOBSTER ALL DAY MUST COP
Not a bad observation
So legit pairs in the purple box for these ?
Yea it’s a skate shop exclusive not a quick strike
I need to visit your shop 😊
Bring it! Haha
Can someone break down why we have these different boxes , gold box, blue box, rainbow box , cream box.
They just change the box color every so many years. Rainbow boxes were the QS boxes but now the QS boxes are sail or cream as you called it. The purple box is for GR releases.
Wow!
