2024 NIKE SB DUNK THREAD_____GRs and QSs added

I don't get annoyed when people come up and say nice shoes to me. I have it happen pretty often. That's cause I wear some loud shoes at times but when I go out to the bar there usually one or two people that will come up and say nice shoes to me.

Quick Story:

I was in the mall with my girl. Shopping at Zumiez to check out the Janoskis. A dude comes up to me and was like "YOOOOOO IS THAT SUPREME SWEATSHIRT REAL. BECAUSE IF IT IS I AM SUPER JEALOUS OF YOU RIGHT NOW. AND YOU GOT THE FIRE REDS TO MATCH? DID YOU GET THEM DOWNSTAIRS AT FINISHLINE?" . I was wearing Infrared 6s. And he did this in front of my girl. 
I think the word "poser" was invented for people who work at Zumies.

On a related note, I was in NTNY once with my girl and a sales associate kept bugging me cuz I was wearing the tiff highs. He shows me some tiger print shirt and was like "YO THIS WOULD LOOK DOPE WITH THOSE" Tiger Print?! No it wouldn't. FOH. He followed me around the store trying to show me a variety of things "I would like," because he was so well-versed in my personal taste.

No not flexing haha and dam I might just need to get those dazzle camo dunks whatever there called these days.. There something else. And yea lilly the AT&T girl is something else.
 
Last night I was out for taco night with my friends and our waiter was awkward as all hell.

I was wearing b/red ones and he gets way to close to me and bends over and just goes 'are those the retros? I tried to buy those but it just didn't work.'

My friends just made jokes for the rest of the night. Kind of felt bad for the dude
Yeah, just didn't work. Dunno what went wrong. 
 
I don't mind the simple compliment, but I'm not getting into a discussion about kicks. Over the holidays I had a female footlocker employee basically following me around the store asking about my kicks. GF was looking at her sideways and it was pretty cringe worthy. A simple "those are dope" or "I like those" is fine IMO.

I know I've done it.
That's usually what I do. Actually, I had a couple days in the city once where I was giving out KoF wristbands to everyone with actually dope kicks. Just a quick, "dope kicks man, here's a wristband." Nothing more needs to be said.
I'm cool with "nice kicks" or "nice ____'s"

Can't stand it when they clearly don't know what they are talking about and try to start a convo about where or how I got these shoes that they think they know about.

A simple compliment is fine. I'm even okay with "those are cool, what are they" and then a keep it moving
Exactly.

I don't mind it either. I just mind it when people try to sound like they know more than they do. If you don't know about kicks, that's fine man. I'm not judging. But if you act like you know and you don't, it just makes me feel like you think I'm stupid. That's the point where I no longer want to converse with you.
 
 
If they ever do a Seinfeld dunk, Im buying all of them. 
It's actually blown my mind for a while that JB hasn't done a shoe dedicated to Jerry Seinfeld.  When the new episodes of Seinfeld would air Jerry would be rocking the new J's before we could convince our parents to spend the $80 on the new ish that just dropped.
 
I've never paid more than retail for a dunk. Is $150 a fair price for NDS WPF? Also here's today's wear. Highly underrated. They look great even in this terrible picture

If you're that out of touch with the going rate then just keep holding out, if you get everything at retail it'll break in your direction even more some day. But just admit it you wanted to humble brag the price you found them for right?

$150 is a good price for the GR version. Not crazy, but good. I wouldn't pay over $175/$180 for a pair if I were looking. The CNCPTS version is a different story. Those will go for between $275-350 depending on condition.
 
Why are you guys giving that dude a hard time? People ask for price checks daily here

More people should feel that way about not paying above retail.

I know I'll never pay more than $200 for any dunk, and I'll never pay above retail for a recent drop.

Agreed.

Though it would probably be some some of trainer if they did.

ALSO, for those interested, as much as I don't really mess with the site that posted it: http://www.complex.com/sneakers/2011/04/seinfeld-nikes/

I know it's not TECHNICALLY correct, but I never consider the wider release a QS. I always think of it as the General Release to the shop's personal QS version. I know it's wrong but I always think of it like that. It's ok to be wrong.

Can't say I've never done it but I thought the same thing. Instead of reprimanding anyone, I just added my own useful info. Fight the negative with the positive!

No shots at anyone. This thread rocks and so does everyone in it.
