as much as i love the sb's that i own, the sad truth is that nowadays, in the words of Ol' Dirty "sb's is for the children"

Stop with the crap Nike.
Give me good colorways without somekind of stupid theme like the "Gibsons" or "Dr. Feelgoods" or "Ninja Turtles"
or let me make my own.
1. You can make your own at nike id.
2. you call " the pigeon, tiffanys, supreme, unkles, etc" simple, good, clean colorways that weren't hyped??
are you serious???
i mean...any ONE of those things is wrong....pigeons, tiffs, supremes, and unkles are anything but simple and clean. and they're probably the FOUR most hyped shoes not from JB.![]()
2. I meant 02-03
Recently I purchased the Send Help's, MF Dooms(I got them for $100, I liked the colorway.), and Takashi 2s which I got from a Nike Outlet I think, I sold them though
I just want simple clean colors, like these
![]()
These are so friken clean![]()
OH i get it you're a beast who just likes sbs....not dunks pursay, cause, the clean GRs and 6.0s, IDs, and even Quickstrikes that come out monthly, are just not good enough..you must have a zoom air sole....even though you can add them if you like....
what is it about just SBs that puts butterflies in your tummy? the pink box they came in? the low production numbers? Cause either way you're coming across as real corny right here.

I'm torn on the idea of retro'ing 1st series SB's. On one hand, I would love the chance to own some classics that are too rare or too pricey, but just like Jordans it would hurt to see kids with crispy pairs that they just bought when you've been sitting on yours for years just waiting to break necks.

But i truly feel that the Trainer 2 (TW II) could bring NSB back to its glory days as long as its handled correctly. I wont say more, you'll have to pay me if you wanna know, halla at the kid Nike ha.

yeah I'll be rushing to finishline to pickup a pair Zoom air insoles for 14.99...I guess you forgot that SB-edition dunks are more often made with higherquality materials, and are to me much more comfortable than GR dunks..let alone another variety of colors. Just because the guy prefers SBs over gr dunks in noway makes him a "beast."

/vent
Golf dunk lows (yellow)
Urichs
Eires
and honestly, 3 of the most "clean simple good" colorways, the neptunes, crimsons, and weigers, no one gave a damn about. COMPLETE hypocrisy by NT.
all of which i bought two pairs of and skated into oblivion, i'm lovin nsb right now, i really feel like they're in the zone

Aside from the unkles, the supremes, pigeons and tiffs (supremes to a slightly lesser extent, tiffs to even lesser) all did have a very simple andclean aesthetic to it. The material choice and colour combinations worked. They might not have been bare-bones simple, but they were clean.
i wish they would go back to there roots
the new sb stuff is total trash and it hasnt been the same since mf doom
@ the Dooms being a significant point where Nike SB"Dropped off"![]()
the whole Nike SB division as whole is in the zone right now. They are right where they are supposed to be - products for skate. It really seems like"what it used to be" is simply when it was a relatively small demographic who knew about SBs. Nike is working to legitimize themselves as a skatecompany. They met the needs/requests of their skaters by making the vulk'd harbor, and the Tre/P Rod show a commitment to imrpove technology/innovate asnike always has (buying savier -> eCue -> Tre AD). I personally feel the reason why the PRod2 was given so manycolourways was to use a different silhouette as a hype machine and bring a little bit of attention away from the dunk.
Not all of these dunks are even SBs "marquee" product. When SB was expanding there was a demand from skaters for dunks but the hype machine just madeit almost impossible to get for people who just wanted to skate. So Nike will push out some more dunks in more variety. Really exactly waht they need to be.There still ARE quality dunks.
Really, a lot of the ones complaining about Nike SB just aren't happy with the loss of exclusivity now htat so many people are up on it and just want somemassively hyped campout type release.
