2024 NIKE SB DUNK THREAD_____GRs and QSs added

[John00]

rumor is they aren't gonna be a high.... (according to various people on social media who might be in the know...)
hype levels through the roof for me. can't remember the last time i was genuinely excited about an upcoming release. and i mean in general not just SB. of course it could also be that Jeff Staple is just making an all new sb that is not pigeon inspired.. but wheres the fun in that.

If it ends up not being a high they better not put that color way on some other SB model like they’re doing with the Medicom.

Y’all the last two months of the year are about to be bonkers with the Staple Dunks, Medi 5s, and CNCPTS joints.

 

[carolinakickg]

If the CNCPTS joints are too holiday-ey then I might have to pass. I only wear my grey ucs like once a year.

If they are gonna bring back the Pigeon dunks, it could be make or break for the brand imo. Do it justice and people might come flocking back (even if temporarily). If it's a halfhearted attempt, it could be a final nail in the coffin.

Are there any pics for these drops?

 

[la-718]

No for the CNCPTS or upcoming staple release (at least that I know of). These are the Dunk Low Elite Medicom slated for the holiday quarter.

 

[carolinakickg]

If those were TRD fat tongue then I'd be all in. Slim fit....meh.

Maybe Staples is going to pay homage to the “pizza rat”.

everything on Stadium Goods 20% off today

 

[verse001]

wore these today. still kind of regret semi-stuffing the tongue

If Campbells sold that well, pigeons are going to be a whole nother beast.

 

[Black Lotus]

campbells selling well had false advertising tied to it... pigeons will move though regardless of how garbage the quality may be, look at tiff highs

Went with a Collab (Cassette Playa x Nike) Dunk today:

 

[Otaku]

those shoes are hype anyways imo. they look pretty boring. Its more the history behind it that gives its appeal

Agree. Purple pigeons > OG pigeons.

To go even further than my suggestion yesterday about making them an NYC exclusive...what if they did a straight retro to the tune of the Slam City Tape Box retro (24? pairs) and released only at Staple’s flagship store?

Haha! It’s my way of taking some of the orange out of the shoe, this leaves the perfect balance imo. Thanks one of the few sbs I got left!

Reed space closed down not too long ago so that's not likely. Plus making something that hyper exclusive would just piss off everyone who is still loyal to the brand. Yes it would put all eyes back on SB even if only for a little while but I think ultimately nobody would like a release like that.

I think a release in numbers similar to the momofukus would be perfect for these considering the hype.

Agree. Purple pigeons > OG pigeons.

I agree on Purple's over OG pigeons, but neither is a boring pair. Purple is just my favorite color so that has to get my nod.

I have mixed feelings on a High retro of the pigeons. Mostly because dunk SB lows > highs, at least to me.

Haha no eyes are falling back on Nike SB (which is fine by me). For a lot of people, sneakers are beco peming a complement to the outfit now rather than revolving the fit around the sneakers (see: tiffany kid). People just don't want to style dunks with biker jeans, tapered cargos, slacks, etc. Look across fits on reddit (r/streetwear), grailed, outlets such as highsnobiety, hypebeast - you probably won't see many people wearing old dunks, new dunks, or other SB models. There's no "hypebeast starter kit" that's including dunks anymore. Ship has long sailed.

Again I think this is a good thing for people still tryna cop Nike SB. I don't give a **** if no one else likes dunks, easier and cheaper for the rest of us. Do you guys think it'd be a good thing for Nike SB released to be more hype and hectic?
