The Dunk is an all time classic shoe but since it's no longer the mid 2000's it's not cool anymore to little wack hype beasts. The same people who wear the trash called SUPRA.
I remember walking into my local skate shop back home (Homebase 610) in 2003 and picking up the Futuras and Takashis for retail with absolutely no problem. Damn I wish I still had those Futuras.
I think the hype around the Supreme Lows was more about Supreme than being Nike SBs. I would say the shoe that really started the hype was the Heinekens.
