Forgot what month it was, but it was 2004 and I was in college and it was my first Nike SB. For me it was too easy to get these.
Krudco skate shop in Rochester NY had got them in. There was no hype at all at that store. I remember calling the shop and asking the owner to hold a pair for me because I had to get my friend to drive me 25 miles to get them and he said don’t worry “No one wants these”
The price was 130 per shoe and he offered me the option to purchase around 5 if I wanted. I was a broke college student so I only purchased 2 pairs.
I told my boy that drove me that he should get a pair and he scoffed at me because they were a pink based sneaker and they weren’t AF1s or Jordan’s
My girlfriend at the time thought I was wasting money on the 2nd pair, but I ended up selling the second pair for 300 a few months later.
To piggyback off what vampire xtc said. I was shocked people weren’t going crazy for these at first. The artwork on the shoe sealed it for me that these were amazing alone. But in 2004 men weren’t into pink sneakers. I also remember running around in 2005 in NYC like a crazy person for Union 180s as well.
It was interesting to see how easy it was for Unkles vs 1 year later for Tiffany’s and hyped and difficult that shoe was.
Unkles are still one of my favorite sneakers to this day.
Shipped what?SNKRS just shipped
That Board screams Bmore. Fam I know you got the backdoor special on those. And you aint lying bout Gary. Stand up guy. Nice to see someone here on NT win from VU.Vu came through with the raffle win. He said they had 3000 entries. Got them late and opened the raffle for 5 hours on a Tuesday afternoon. Love Gary, he’s always been good to me - win or lose. I’ve lost my share there, and I could tell he was stoked to call with good news.
Haha, I wish I had that hookup. If you’ve met/know him, you already know he’s the Skate Mayor of the town. There are 6000 people in line ahead of me that would finesse a hookup first.That Board screams Bmore. Fam I know you got the backdoor special on those. And you aint lying bout Gary. Stand up guy.
