I'm all over the place when it comes to preference, I dip in NSW/JB/SB and runners but in general I agree with you SB quality is up top with NSW. But from a business standpoint it makes total sense for Nike to put out awful quality shoes at this price point with the high # of units, because it will sell regardless of quality. Not only is it an iteration of arguably one of the most notable dunks, we also must remember that it has DSC attached to it. Either way, I'm happy that we're even seeing a Nike/Diamond collab after the falling out Nick and Nike had when Diamond started making their own shoes.

Side by side, the lows really do trump the highs in terms of quality.

The swoosh and croc print leather have more of a matte finish to them than the lows.

that photo is from 2009, back when eric had just signed with nike...they were testing different gum soles for skating (probably the reason nike started using that dirty gum sole during the blue box era)

The more pics that pop up the more it looks like money being saved on these Tiff highs. Oh well, been looking for some De La lows so I'll just put it towards that. Good luck to everyone else.

Had to laugh at how bad the highs look. Disappointed by Nike again just like in the black rains

yea im just saying. i think they have different quality standards for different divisions.
JB/NSW retros are deemed as casual so they feel like they can skimp on materials since they aren't made for performance. nike basketball, on the other hand, seems to use better materials on current releases. SBs clearly use better leather and suede than JB/NSW. Compare last years blk/red, thunder, or cavs 4s to any of the suede dunks last year. its clear as day

I don't know if this has been touched on, but stashed boxes has an article about the Tiffs:
http://stashedboxes.com/news/18696-nike-sb-tiffany-dunk-high-dissecting-hype
Allegedly 30k pairs made which explains the crap quality. Good luck to all that want to cop. Retail or bust here

If I can't get the tiffs at retail, I'm not paying off $200 for these especially when I can get some lows for less than $400. The chrome check also doesn't look on point either.

I just paid $264 with a coupon for a pre-order, had to call them. Like I said previously, while they may have made a lot more than the lows, the hype is three times as real. We don't have any locals that will carry this so my only shot at these would be online at NDC which will most certainly be a fail. Now I can try and double up instead of worrying about striking out on my first pair. Let me know where I can find lows for $400.
