2024 NIKE SB DUNK THREAD_____GRs and QSs added

Well it's official . Nike is now branding the IW lows as normal dunk low pro's . premier has a new black and white IW modeled dunk that's simply labeled "dunk low pro " :'( . I really hope this isn't the end of the fat tongue

i believe it was said that only shop collabs would come with fat tongues from now on. im guessing thats only if the shops choose to go the fat tongue route.

well if this is the case , it's grail chasing time . 9th Wonder 9th Wonder was also saying dunk highs were gonna start being produced with sock-liner tongues. It sounds like nike sb it truly losing it's touch .
 
Those Ross-esque joints are so sexy...will be doubled (at least) in time.

If I'm not mistaken, these are the first pair of non IW branded lows with the thin tongue, but will be the norm for ALL lows moving forward other than QSs.

guess I'm sticking to quickstrikes next year . And the high tops are also getting a new tongue right ? How the hell can a sockliner even be incorporated into a dunk high ? I can't even picture it

The shade of purple on the laces and the translucent bluish outsole ruined these for me.

honestly the laces and outsole don't match at all , but I think they look better with the black laces. Sneaker freaker posted a pic on Instagram of the black boxes on foot and he lace swapped and they looked pretty tough
 
I'll keep the purple laces but will look for a typical SB style lace

I guess Dooms came with flat laces? I don't care for flat laces in any shoe (if I can help it)
 
Dooms came with red flats.

About the lows with thin tongues, I mentioned this previously about them removing the IW branding and keeping fat tongues for the "QS" pairs that they'll be releasing less frequently. Sock liner? I believe I was referring to a pic I saw of a dunk high sb with a sock like ankle collar, similar to the Koston 3.

Here's my take on black boxes.. They're pretty solid, if you also have dooms they're a bit of a letdown, which should be expected. If you don't have the dooms, I'd say you'd be pretty pleased. The suede isn't fantastic, but it's not bad either. Leather feels decent as well, tongue material is much softer and squishier on the black boxes compared to dooms, which isn't a bad thing. Didn't see a lot of flaws and cosmetic errors on any of the pairs I looked at.

Overall I'll give them a 8/10 as far as dunks go this year, definitely up there... Honestly the dopest part for me was seeing getting handed a black SB box from the stock room lol.

Hoping for some decent 2017 releases, but I've seen some pics of upcoming drops and it ain't pretty :lol:
Lettuce pray.
 
I keep going back and forth on these black boxes. Gonna have to see them in person to finally make my decision.
 
Purple laces shoulda been much more vibrant imo... theyll look good with black laces, can one have too many black shoes?

I kind of agree with you. I really wanted to and still want to like these, but I don't know. The more I see the execution, the more I think I like the other 3 more.

In other news, rocked the SPoT Cigars today. God I love this pair/concept!
