And these aren't one of those colorways where I need to see more pics in order to change my opinion .. Jamal Crawford between the legs alley-oop PASS
 
 
 
Those SB x JB's were just weak. Not much appealing about them. They need to step it up tbh
Nike SB has fallen off though. That was something that was long overdue and Nike was just trying to bring some type of hype back to the SB brand.

Thats like Shaq going back to the Lakers. Its over, too late, you know?

The whole release just screamed "struggle" to me....

Nike SB has lost its flame. They don't really release much that looks good anymore anyway. And JB is a cash cow for Nike. So making an SB 1 is Nike's way of 2 birds with 1 stone.
I wouldn't say they fell off, the hype just died down for a little bit which was a good thing IMO.

Now that the hype is back, you see them re-releasing gems like the Tiffanys, De La Souls, Skunks. Even new releases like the SOMPs, YoTHs, Civilist, Florida lows, etc are pretty clean too. I think 2014 will end up being a good year for Nike SB.
 
I'm not even going to get into the debate

Nike SB has put out WAY more then 1 wack colorway. They been hit and miss since SB Mids debuted.

SB's prime has been over. You can't compare anything they are doing now to the fat tongue era.


Yeah they have some dope releases here and there, but thats about it.
SB's are more than just dunks, just like JB is more than retros. how many alphas, fusions, and team jordans have flopped? 

hows that melo/ cp3 line ??? 

SB dunk game is doing just fine, but let them retro old colorways and the hype will run away with it. wouldnt you agree?

Yup on all accounts.  Money saved on those Carmines.  Interested to see how that red/white pair that's been floating around looks in official pics.

Those carmine 1's are almost as weak and pathetic as the laney 1's. JB needed to be more selective on which c/w's got the Nike Air treatment

Totally agree

They're treating it like the mids with the way they did the Hawks and those.

Leave it to Nike / JB to take things too far :smh:

Galaxy print = over killed
Foams = over killed
Cement pattern = over killed (those 5s :x)
GITD = over killed
3m = getting to that point

Laney's weren't that bad :lol: .. Gerald made them look pretty good in some of his pics. If I can catch them for about $80 bucks I'm on it.

Laneys >>>> Celtics/Hawks IMO.

I definitely agree with you about JB being selective with the NA treatment, all 3 colorways I mentioned plus these Carmines didn't need to be NA models.

Yeah, but overkill on Nike Air is a good thing...

Matter fact, throw Nike Air on EVERYTHING...

01's colors pop like the finest champagne

word to my black/red 1 thread dudes

never forget
They might pop more because they used a brighter color for both the breds and royals compared to the 85 OG's and 2013s. Not hating on the 01s because I had those pairs. I can say the recent 2013 retro stayed true to the 1985 OG color tone and cut, minus the materials and height of course. I'm leaning towards the 2013s more than the 01s in terms of value down the road because anything that stays true to the course of the original should be considered a better retro. I hear some ppl complaining how the toe box of the 2013s are similar to dunks and not cut sharp and flat like 2001 but have a look at the 85s and tell me if you see that resemblance.  Whats even more compelling that never struck me back in 2001 were the widow peaks on  that version. They are a bit odd now, considering most of the unauthorized/replicas og 1s have that too. Just my two cents.

I copped Laney's on Disco and prolly the only Non-OG CW that I own with NA branding...

Honestly I got it to match up my favorite soccer squad or I prolly would passed too... Fit pic soon...

Would love to see some UNC 1 hi's with NA branding next year for the 30th Anni...

Its really is simple too, go back to the old model. OGs = NA, Non-OGs = Jumpman. Wish JB would listen to us on this one.
 
I really dig the Laneys and Knicks, just something about them is classic and they remind me of the BTTYS Dunks. Awesome materials as well. 

Highlight Reels, Clovers, and these Carmines can go far away and never be seen again...
 
SMDH inquired about a pair of DS ROYALS on sole control... They sold em for $675!!! I'll never get a pair :frown:
