A nice surprise at a Vintage store here: The 2008 YOTH Dunk Premium new without box (317892 811). Lotsa ORANGE here, but the quality makes ones wonder why Nike stopped dropping non-SB/Nikelab Dunks like this, complete with ZOOM Air midsoles too. Think I'll call em the '93 Buccaneers or...

I called them OG just to call them that. They have nike air on the heel, and are just a GR colorway from 2004 as far as I know. 306353 071. They are pretty clean tho so thanks.

Heyyyyyyy! First time posting in this thread; Im usually lurking in the SB section, where I also post about lace-swaps on occasion . Anyway, I came across these OG joints here (2004) at a Vintage store, threw some Oval laces in them, and.......I think it turned out okay, hey!

Yeah, all sizes back up. Wtf

Okay, so they're NOT sitting it seems..... all gone on snkrs. Time to hit up NTNY or Concepts or both128526

That's what it looks like.....

Pretty much just decided that this is a 'Personal Grail'. Best quality leather? Nah, but execution is so effin clean otherwise. Oh yeah.

Yep, got a little creative with the 'stained Glasses' today. Not the easiest pair to just unbox and rock. But I liked the results here...oh yeah.

Welp, these will be a major part of my 'Winter Rotation'. Leather/Nubuck + black midsoles means warmth and easy cleaning of grime. Also another pair I'd say need no lace swaps unless one was just feeling the urge to do something different..... Yeah.

Swappage: Fiddled around with some looks on the Oceanics, then found a pair of 54" that did the trick....oh yeah.

Welp, no swap here, just a pic of one of the more low-key-but-dope Dunks from 2014, the 'Dark Raisins'. The all-nubuck upper makes the quality on these GRs better than a lotta folks think...... Yeah.

The panels are there to mimic the Grape Vs side panel so I get that, but I meant that the shoe needs like a purple or teal swoosh or some other differences in its construction colorway/materials-wise to just look better overall.

An example of great concept (collab, Dunk as Black Grape Vs), good quality (pig suede) but a bad end product. I've tried a few lace swaps on these to try and bring out their 'freshness' but nothing really feels right. I think the lack of contrast on the upper between the different parts of...

'Day & Night'. The Brown Bags are another pair that really need no lace swap to be the freshest it can be - the OG Black is good enough. In fact, the alt set provided is the same 'ale brown' as the sneaker of that name. The 'Bags are more of a sandy color so the brown laces don't really...

Welp.....
