I just got back into copping kicks again not to long ago (ESPECIALLY when it comes to copping SBs) so I can't really speak to the quality of SBs, material-wise, but I kind of see what you're saying. I think what it is though isn't about them slacking on the idea tip, it's the fact that they're putting out so many more SB Dunks than in the past (due to how much the brand - and skateboarding in general - has blown up), and with that means more GRs and plain colorways. I kinda touched on that a little bit with saying I'm not that into all the plain GRs that are dropping, simply cuz when I think of SB Dunks, what comes to mind is all the crazy themed releases. Not saying there's anything wrong with GR releases or that there aren't any dope GRs - not true at all. I'm just saying there's a lot of stuff that is just meh to me personally. What you see happening with Nike SB is what happens, pretty much, to any company that blows up. The same thing is happening with JB. But instead of focusing on the meh releases, I choose to focus on the stuff I like, which there is a plethora of, for better or worse. I say for better. If u don't care about what other people are doing, and just buy what you want to buy and wear what you want to wear, regardless of what is popular, none of the meh stuff is gonna matter. All I want from Nike SB (and JB, as well as every other company I buy product from) is for them to produce stuff I like. They don't have to produce ONLY stuff I like; to expect them to do that would be both unreasonable and unrealistic. Peace.Sometimes I think I'm trippin' other times I know I'm not but ima take a deep breath and say something tht many of you all might find bold but I think nike sb or maybe js nike in general has fallen off .
