Nike SB Dunk Fat Tongue to Return

[table][tr][td]
Nike SB Dunk releases has been criticized in the last few seasons because of the disappearance of the fat tongue. If you’ve lost favor in the line because of the tongu switch, Kevin Imamura from Nike SB broke the news that the fat tongue will return.

Imamura was not specific as to which shoe will serve as the first to re-debut the feature, or even during which season it will occur. However, does the sheer knowledge that the fat tongue is coming back have the value of Nike SB stock rising?

Might as well just Retro the old sb's. Fat tongues or not the best days are behind them.

Most folks would agree sb's have lost their luster apart from a few scattered overhyped releases.

I don't think they should have gotten rid of it anyway, it was mad comfortable.
 
da hype's beeeeen gone for SB's...all they gotta do now is retro da prior editions if they wanna light up some spark in they step.
 
I appreciate this, but I'd rather appreciate better and more inspired cw's...and retro the 1st couple runs of sb's? I'm on board lets do it

funny thing is when da SB wave was riding HIGH alot of those dorks was talkin trash are now sweating foamposites & da rest of da retro

nike basketball classics when those always been hood staples, not for soho hypebeast punks.
 
crazy seeing most of the people here agree on retroing sb's, i was on ISS earlier this week and there was a thread talking about if nike should retro sb's, the whole website went crazy lol. i decided to post because i really didnt see a problem with it, all they cared about was the value of the shoe going down and things like that. like damn dont you want the chance to buy the kicks and colorways you love again, and at retail?? people buying kicks for all the wrong reasons..

& nike sb's tongue return is good news but of course better designs and colorways should come first.
