2024 NIKE SB DUNK THREAD_____GRs and QSs added

Couldn't find the 2013 bhm's in a 12 for retail so I somewhat settled for the 2014's. The black suede is much nicer in person.

2 QS's and 3 GR's this year already so I'm good with buyin SB's for the moment. Only have my eyes on the floridians and the upcoming pink & cranberry joints for under retail.
 
I am passing on the 501's and trying to cop some older dunks.Snake eyes look dope tho.

addtocartfailed addtocartfailed Did you get the Zoom Tre AD McFlys from a few years back? That's definitely one that flew under the radar since it wasn't from a super popular shoe to begin with.

First off I want to thank EVERYONE that sent me a PM asking me if I was okay. I know I haven't posted in a little bit but I've been working hard professionally and I've also been working on something for the thread as well. I'll list a quick run down of what's been going on and what's been on my mind since the Tiff release.

1.) So, a couple of days before the Tiff release I contacted a couple of shops that were getting them to confirm that they would allow phone orders. The kept saying that they would, but they didn't have them in hand yet. I called back when said shops got there shipments in and they said they'd allow phone orders but the prices that they were trying to sell them at were outrageous. I'm talking OUTRAGEOUS! Everyone knows that I NEVER ask shop about how much they're charging but when they start the convo with "basically we're gonna bend people over", I wasn't going to be apart of that. I immediately threw that idea out the window. So then I went to one of my locals that was expecting a hefty shipment and basically worked out a plan with the owner to commandeer some FSRs from them to go straight to NT via phone order from the shop. So everything was all good until I pull up release day morning with the owner, we come around the corner and there was a crowd of at least 250 people standing outside his shop arguing, crowding the door to the shop and fighting. This sh*t was unreal. 99% of them I'd NEVER seen at the shop in my life and neither had the owner. They were going back and forth about people cutting lines and all this other *******t, plus there was food and trash EVERYWHERE in front of the shop from them. So the owner told me to stay across the street until he could get into the shop and get stuff in order. Dude literally swims through a sea of people and gets to the door with barely enough space to open it and lock it behind him. So the employees start showing up and random guys in the crowd start threatening them. Telling them if they don't release the shoes that they're going to stab them and beat the f*ck out of them, mind you these are grown *** men talking to some 18 year old girls that could weigh no more than 90 pounds soaking wet

. So the owner goes to open the door to let them employees in and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. People began to rush for the door and tried to rip it open to get inside. It was nuts. The owner was able to get the 2 employees inside and lock the door but the crowd started banging on the windows, people were being crushed up against the glass and some were trying to break the glass door, it was ridiculous. The owner called me and just told me to go home because the cops were on the way. I couldn't believe the sh*t. I turned around and headed home. Heard from him later that he ended up just raffling ALL the pairs, even the ones meant for NT. But he TAXED, I MEAN TAXED DUDES for the damage to the shop. I couldn't even be mad, I mean he took care of the local regulars, so it was what it was. I got home and took a look at the thread and just thought.......OMG this sh*t is in shambles

. Although, I couldn't help but laugh at some of the JB/GENERAL nonsense that was going on in here. Good to see that most of the regulars were able to get their pairs.

2.) I've been talking to another one of my locals about basically turning the shop into the "NIKE SB THREAD SKATESHOP". I mean 10%-20% off GRs from the gate and QS being available to US before most of the locals. He hasn't agreed to it completely yet, mostly because he doesn't know how he wants to take the payments, but if you know me, I've given him one option that for sure will work. AGAIN, this is not set in stone yet, there's A LOT that needs to be worked out. Just know that I'm trying to make this happen and when it gets worked out we'll have a solidified option in this thread no matter WHAT type of release it is. With that said, before someone inboxes me, NO that doesn't mean that I'll stop dropping other shops. If you've been in here long enough then you know how I feel about supporting skate shops. Now do I have a biased toward my local? Absolutely! Do I think my local is the best in the WORLD? Absolutely! But it's not going to stop me from providing as much help as I can. But I'm just sayin', if someone was giving you a GR 10%-20% off, I'd think it'd make you crazy NOT to buy from them. But hey, it's your money and I'm not telling you how to spend it. There will always be other options provided. 

3.) It's good to see that through the storm the thread remained true to it's spirit and it's core principles. I tell you what, the #NTNEVERFORGETS posts were hilarious and the "nobody helped me get the Tiffs for retail" responses had me rolling. I repped so much reading though the thread. The gif executions though

....some of you need to step it up. I am a lover of gifs ladies and gentlemen! It's not just about simply posting the gif, but finding the emotion in the gif and executing it in a way that's so understandable to the audience that it transcends text. THAT'S PERFECT EXECUTION! Anyway, welcome to all the new people in here and thank you to all the regulars in here, you guys really make this thread great. This is truly the best thread on NT!

This is what happened at the concord dunk low release at blades nyc. People were pushing, fighting, cutting, all for a chance at some ****** shoes. I met some cool people in line that I still talk to now, almost a year later. But it's crazy how people turn for some materialistic ish. Don't get me wrong, I wanted Concords more than anyone there, but I wasn't about to become a dirtbag to secure them. I just don't get it, I guess. And I have a feeling the people fighting are new sneakerheads, cuz the G's respect too much to pull that nonsense. Just my opinion though.
 
Just got back from 510. They had about 80 pairs. 60 deep as I left the store. I was towards the front. Really tame launch .

The shoe is on par with quality close to the YOTH. Those flakes. They add to the shoes aesthetics in a good way . If you guys are in the fence , go look at it in person and it'll change your mind. Gotta represent the bay too so I'm glad to have a pair
