Hey idk why if its probably bc im not a big sneaker head i just like shoes, but the video felt like i was consuming a lot of info. Can you try and slow it down a little please?
They be like oMg WhY aRe YoU SkaTiNg nIKe SbS? yOu WiLl rUiN tHoSE. Like duhh its made for skating thats why it has SB. But for me not every hypebeast is like this tho.
I would like to try to get an SB to skate, though id feel foolish since i could sell that shoe and buy like 3-4 pairs of other skateshoes with the money i make which would satisfy me way longer.
Spot on!, as someone who spent years skating and being a sneaker head its nice to see someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. Just a couple of pointers, the boxes for sbs are made by eras. There are gold box, pink box, black box eras & others. Nike sb slightly changes their molds from time to time. Also some nike sb dunks have thin tongues like the kostons, it was a short lived era but they had skinny tongues around 2010.
yea for function if you can get a pair for retail...No skater will ever wear these skating nowadays unless your Ishod Wair who has his own signature dunk that he gets for free. When I was younger these shoes were made in mass amounts and shipped to be sold in stores and you could always get a pair. Now hypebeasts havemkilled that possibility and because of the hype around them nike and shoe stores only sell these through online drops that sell out in seconds and resell for like 500$
Lowk bro that’s why am giving up, because believe it or not I would always skate SB and now I have to skate something else that I am not used too and it just doesn’t hit the same
@@nathanvaltierra8707 ya that aint cap. found the disposable pink dunks at ross back in 2016, in 2018 found the premier salmon dunk and sometime in between found the pizza foil dunks. copped the premier pair for 39.99 and the disposables for 34.99
The Nike dunk was created in 1985 by the same team who developed the Jordan 1, the Nike dunk high was originally a basketball shoe, it suited college basketball teams as you could create so many colourways to fit the colours of the team. Nike was struggling to fit into the skate culture already having a failed team in the past when they signed a very young bam margera. And released 3 'skate shoes' which included the Nike choad.... it wasn't until they brought sandy bodecker to the team. To shape nike into what nike sb is today. To give back to local skateshops and give local shops a chance to collaborate on shoes, nike would also make sure that the shoes were sold by skaters, for skaters. And not sold at other retail shops. Such as footlocker or tkmax. In my opinion the dunk created the stepping stone for street wear and resellers. Camp outs at shop fronts to get a fresh pair of dunks. It wasn't all down to nike sb, and collaborations. While on the subject, I can't not talk about the impact that Jeff staple had with nike and the reselling market. When he first released the pigeon dunk in March 2005.
Like the blazer then og basketball shoe turned into a boarding shoe. Unless I've got that very wrong in my defense i literally have brain damage. Twice in fact.
I skated with P-Rod last week in LA, he was wearing SB dunks and I told him that I literally hunt for his old Nike SB signature shoes on eBay…was tempted to try to buy a pair from his collection 😂
the SB outsole has the ribs not going to the midsole completely for a simple reason: as the rubber is pushed into the mould the barrier where both mid- and outsole material meet is better on the SBs because the ribs don't go fully to the edge. This design was an update from the OG dunk soles. As well as other aspects like the extra griplines on the bottom etc.
They should’ve never been hyped to begin with, they’re just sneakers. It sucks when there’s a fire pair of 1’s I want and I gotta pay like $500 instead of the $170 retail

Why are y’all blaming “hypebeasts” it’s Nikes fault for instigating this culture by purposely decreasing their stock. They can easily make much more but chose not to. I think they do this so they can keep the status of a luxury brand just like how apple also releases overpriced items in order to keep that status
2008 to 2010 I loved all my SB pickups but once they retro’d the de la soul low that’s when the tech went down for me. Gold rails & northern lights mids were my top 2 favorite pick ups. Good times mayne
You missed one really important thing - Nike dunk has thicker sole than sb, just take of the insoles and try them on foot, you’ll feel more thickness in the nike dunks
I remember when resell on some of the most hyped up sb dunks was only 200-300 something...to see some gr’s that I got on sale from ccs catalogs going for over 1k now is wild!!
The hype for dunks isn’t anything new. There was a huge dunk wave back in the day. Just like everything in sneakers the phase will pass and dunks will go back to sitting on shelves. What Nike can do is release basic colors in very large quantities, so people can skate them.
@@SixcantStopTrust me he’s right. It’ll die down soon. Especially when another Great Depression hit y’all ahh an food an water is more important than following the crowd.
Who remembers Nike Id for custom dunk lows?! I custom made mine when that was still available now it’s not!! It’s so unfortunate they would’ve made more money now if it were still available!
Every few months Nike releases Nike By You dunk lows and highs. I think the stock goes quickly, but it seems to be a regular occurrence. You can still get your customisation fix!
Actually the point of the elastic bands next to the tongue is for the tongue to stay in place instead of moving to the left or the right whenever you’re writing because it is a common problem in skateboarding
I just got the Nike dunk low retros for $69.99 at the show palace. Is that the same as the ones in this video? I never had these before. Mine didn’t come with extra laces either.
What size do I get for dunk lows? I’m 9.5 in Air Force 1, Jordan 11 low, & New Balance. I’m TTS 10 in Nike such as the Nike Air Max, VaporMax, Sacai Waffle.
walked into a skate shop three days ago and they had one pair of sb dunk highs. only size was my size, i had to snag ‘em. i haven’t bought retail sb dunks since the mid-2000s as a beater skate shoe. wild how much they go for now.

That depends on which ab dunk you get. There Dunk pros which are slimmer and have been adapted for a more modern fit. Which I would call true to size (Nike size). The travis, stangelove, Grateful Dead, lobster or b&j for instance are ogs or simply sb dunks that are padded much more and are much puffier. These fit tighter in the beginning till they break in. If you size up half a size they look even bulkier.
Ive been coppin Dunks since inception, and there is no more sneaker culture. Everybody is now coppin for resale, everyone is afraid to WEAR the shoes. I just want Nike to produce enough so we can all enjoy them like I used to do 20 years ago.

Hey man old video but what’s the difference between Nike dunks and Nike dunks sp?
May I ask... Dunk low I wear US9, SB also same size?
Yeah, but keep the laces looses as they can choke your feet
the double lower eyelets are suppose to keep your laces from busting from thrashing.
🤣🤣🤣 it's the same sneaker to me lmao 🤣
THANK YOU!
Lmao I didn’t even know there were two different dunks
Had to pull the trigger on the Bart Simpsons today. Can't wait to put those on foot.
SB’s just feels right, dunk lows are a little too hyped rn I like to be different I’m more into OG SB’s but don’t get me wrong dunks lows are 🔥
Wow, this was great! I had no idea there were so many differences
Thanks DJ

Hey do you fit the same size on sb than low regular thank you

Dunk Low for the win...🏁💯✔
the flap on the 2 lace holes is supposed to protect your laces of ripping while skating
Quick question: where can I find sb or normal dunks for cheap? I really want to have them to skate
not a single one is cheap, you would have to buy reps if you're on a budget
Nice Shoes!
5:00 this is actually just to give a Jordan 1 Chicago Look to it
other SB dunks don’t have that
Nah to protect the laces as well cuz
4:51 is the flap for when you skate them you dont rip the laces?
Bro should i pick the same size in normal dunks and in sb dunks?
That depends on which ab dunk you get. There Dunk pros which are slimmer and have been adapted for a more modern fit. Which I would call true to size (Nike size). The travis, stangelove, Grateful Dead, lobster or b&j for instance are ogs or simply sb dunks that are padded much more and are much puffier. These fit tighter in the beginning till they break in. If you size up half a size they look even bulkier.
DJ, I gotta ask for sizing i wear a US 9.5 in AF1's and 10-10.5 in Jordans what size would you recommend for sb dunk lows and dunk lows?
Ive been coppin Dunks since inception, and there is no more sneaker culture. Everybody is now coppin for resale, everyone is afraid to WEAR the shoes. I just want Nike to produce enough so we can all enjoy them like I used to do 20 years ago.

How about the sizing? Thanks
