2024 NIKE SB DUNK THREAD_____GRs and QSs added

Trying to break the record for most creases on a toe box, any challengers.

the supa highs look uncomfy af
not an sb but close enough. i found these in the box stacks - str8 on feet

 

[vinnuendo]

even the photos shows that the leather is on the PLASTICKY side, its not even the retro OG buttery leather - kind of sad, how can vans sell 25$ sale shoes and use a buttery suede and leather and Nike Can't :

That flaking and peeling of the orange didn't look too buttery to me.

I'm convinced that 99% of the people praising the quality of the OG Supas have never owned a pair.
They're one of my favorite dunks ever, but to say that they have buttery leather is a severe overstatement.

Most of the dunks from that era with color treated leather have severe issues with peeling and flaking.
If you own any of the original BTTYS retros you'll see similar degradation to the colored portions of the leather.
These weren't produced for longevity back in the day.

The leather looks like if you folded the top flap over the paint would break.

Yep, looks like they would hurt your feet too.

OG Supa's quality was very nice, I had probably 4 total pair in my life time

the paint chipping is the problem now but there is no way in hell that these $110 Highs hold a candle to the $65 OG's

my Gino 1's I still have look like they were made a few years ago

Fall weather brings out the highs. My favorite of 2017 hands down . Forbes

I agree that the quality is nice, but people waxing poetics about buttery leather just isn't accurate.
These used the typical flat white leather of that era. Good by todays standards, but by no means extraordinary.

I have a pair that I've absolutely beaten into the ground and a pair that's 100% pristine.
I'll post some comparison pics this weekend to show the aging process of these.

The one argument I do agree with is how terrible it is that they use the new tooling on TRD releases.
What I'd give for them to go back to the old fit and tooling.

Yeah Nike SB really kicked us while we are down on these IW sea crystals. We have gotten so many hit and miss low to highs but a TRD Sea Crystal would have been a great, instead they release it as an IW??


Also I'm surprised Supa highs are releasing so soon, I thought it was December?

Yeah most of the low/high retros just don't feel right as a high. If they would've given us a trd sea crystal retro with suede quality similar to the silver box highs from last year, I would've been pretty damn hype for them. And regarding the supa highs releasing this early, I believe someone mentioned back a few pages that we may be seeing one more trd release this year. Either that or they saved December for that the medicom elite low release

THIS is the pair I got from Shoezeum. Glad to have some backstory to them now.

Yeah my Kentuckys from 99 or whatever it is are cooked. All the leather is flaking

I might have a lead on my heinekens. I need a legit check on this pair SB family.

 

[isco]

I am beating a dead horse but I really wish we could just get true retros

they look decent overall but I should be hype as hell for my single favorite shoe of all time coming back

Ur not u r right..if these were lows I'd be going nuts..but I can't mess with these as highs

shoe tag looks good fam

 

[vegetaray123]

Heineken’s look good...

 

[donewithjs]

Sooooo what’s next up? Supas will be scooped up but I need a new original shop collab.

 

[macstizo]

hoping the last (or maybe last) TRD release of 2017 is fire....

 

[downyboy]

really regret not picking up the denim highs this year, will have to eventually track them down.

 

[coolcool]

^doo it.

anybody wore their momofukus yet? How is the fit? surprised they didn't have a wider release yet.

mine fit quite snug, oddly enough a bit more so on the right foot, but still ok and comfortable.
love them.
