Says the guy who complains about bots buying up shoes.. yet on a youtube thread also defended a youtuber heavily involved in a site teaching people how to flip shoes... hmmmm confused
I have defended Tom, his channel and other things because he’s a mate. Crepchief I don’t agree with as a business. Get your facts straight before spouting nonsense. Anyway, seeing as how I’m not a professional NBA player I’m off to drop all these on StockX and make some sweet sweet profit.
You absolute flute.

Trouble with the skate trainers is there never that comfortable for walking around in.
The only one I've ever found to be uncomfortable was the SB Janoski - for whatever reason, they left me absolutely crippled. The cheaper - but similar looking - Satire? No problem at all, extremely comfortable all day long. I don't know why but the Janoski and I did not get along.Edited by Levin on Saturday 13th March 22:31

It does not matter about how much you spend, it is about understanding that skateboarding is a culture.
This kinda attitude is why Louis Vuitton now make a skate shoe.

Give it a rest.. Nike SB is a bandwagon brand, no more, no less.
I was skating back when you hot glued extra suede/leather to the outsides of £15 puma suedes or bought £20 shelltoes, because £45 was a lot to spend on a pair of Etnies/Es/Emericas.
I wouldn’t touch SB, not because my knees are too shot to kickflip, or I’d need to bore you with a list of long forgotten skaters, but because Nikes association with skateboarding means nothing to me. They are NOT a skate brand.

Absolutely hilarious this... I’ll absolutely bet anyone I’ve had more Nike SB dunks than anyone else in this thread, unless Nate is in here 
Need to skate to have them, yeah ok... funny though for a Saturday night
As for understanding/not understanding the culture, it’s just BS, it’s like saying you can’t buy a football shirt if you’ve got 2 left feet (I’d insert a spinny eye face here if I could be arsed)

This is brilliant...
If you’re so ‘into the culture’ why isn’t your local skate shop sorting you out? Cos I know 100% they sort their own and loyal customers out if there’s pairs they want
Also, I can’t be arsed with the Willy waving, I’m sure there’s people in here know my story - forgive me I can’t be arsed scrolling back to who said when they think of dunks they think of me, king of dunks, and got something else in the pipeline that’ll blow people’s minds... can’t expand until September though

When did Dunk’s become SB?! I used to have wear them 15+ years ago and I am sure they were seen as basketball shoes then?
03 I think without googling it (I know people could to show they ‘know’) but they had a few false start with themThere are dunks and there are SB dunks, dunks started in 80s sometime as basketball shoes

But i moved out of the area and for a time i got more into Janoskis as they had better board feel and lighter so drifted away from dunks for a few years.
Sb dunks came out in 2002, the original basketball dunk came out a year after the Jordan 1.
Though even when it was a basketball shoe a lot of pros would skate dunks if they did not have a shoe sponsor and influenced a lot of early skate shoes, Eric Koston admits his first Es shoe was heavily based off a dunk.

So the base shoe is just pink, it’s a GR release (as if that makes any difference at the minute, not like you can go in a shop and buy them even if they were open), but I got a cheeky heads up in about November time by a store (you know the skate stores that I’m not a part of the culture because I can’t kick flip) so booked a custom in with a guy for when they dropped... I knew they were plain, and being a car guy, obvs, got the livery put on them...
Looks excellent. Thats how they should have come. Just all pink was rather phoning in a tenuous link to the pink pig. The gulf is only slightly better, I think they were disappointing by recent dunk standards. Obviously still tried and failed to get them both

Great pair mate! Love the final outcome look like so good, I love how you've got to like trainers and cars to get spot them in the street! Maybe get your yaris wrapped to match?
