iirc the medicoms came in normal SB boxes...
but man these are hot, too bad its gunna be a medicom release.
 
these are going to be a medicom release. when the thread started, these looked different, and then were scrapped by nike. they made some slight alterations,and decided to release them as a medicom release. why? i don't know. but the first page of this thread doesn't really correspond to this sneaker now.

hmmm... this was what...page 13?
This is a good shoe. Perhaps we're just really, really easily impressed after being assailed with colours, applications and unwanted plotlines, and the recent Dunk festivities were more of the same, bar the introduction of the mightily agreeable Zoom Dunk Hi and Low, but this just appeals to us. Light grey or white just has an ethereal appeal, whether it's the old white Dunk template or the iD blanks.

It's kind of a cop-out in many ways, given the plethora of materials, textures and shades that are on tap, but we don't care - wearable is wearable, and we've missed some of the plainer Dunk creations that sprung up in SB's heyday. But one outlet for a welcome sparseness with a twist has been Medicom's range of much sought-after Japanese collaborative releases, whether it's an excess of 3M, or snakeskin, the look on the upper has recently been relatively monotone - and this shoe, by all accounts, the fifth Medicom installment, despite a lack of branding, keeps it plain, bar a GORE-TEX lining and we're suckers for that little label, from the Air Minot to the Ketchikan - less so with those fugly Dunks that looked like Wellington Boots gone wrong.

Of course, as visually pleasing as these are, the use of the ever-sensitive material that is suede alongside leather and an unsealed tongue means you won't be able to get your Gene Kelly on unscathed, rendering the GORE-TEX unfunctional, but they're a decent looking design. Maybe we're just good old-fashioned hype-monkeys at heart.

dont stone him yet....

Ive been reading around on other sites and there are speculation that these are not what would be 'Medicom Vs'.Ppl are suggesting that this was said in an attempt to hype up sbs again. I may just hold out and see what the deal is.
 
good point. i've heard both opinions, but nothing yet confirmed. i guess we had this coming throwing around nicknames so quickly
 
i honestly don't think they are a medicom release....

its just the hype train trying to roll into town.

im telling you nike knows
 
I had a feeling since the whole medicom speculation surfaced that it
was all bull, just to build up the hype.

Nike SB, touche.
 
i hope they aren't. they are definitely a premium release as we can see from the box. I am sure they won't be available on sites such as CCS and such,and my guess is the MSRP will be somewhat higher due to the gore-tex material. but if these aren't a medicom release that's great news.
