these look like they'll be what the kids entertainer is rocking at your Childs birthday party, while he makes balloon animals and dances around trying to make the kids laugh and failing.

I guess Orange Label being shop exclusive is a thing of the past.

"skate shop exclusives are our way of saying “Thank You” to the shops" lol

Pretty big smack in the face to OL shops, but when it comes to Nike it was only a matter of time before they started putting "shop exclusives" on their site.

Not surprised, but definitely bummed to see it.

Where are these? Man I can't find these anywhere.

I always said the only way I’d skate nikes is if they made a Cortez skate shoe. I’m in. If under $100

Also not surprised. Orange label stuff seemed to be the most exclusive stuff however. Not only was it skateshop exclusive it was specific skate shops only. Bummer for shops if they continue to sell orange label on Nike, but it will ah least make orange label stuff easier to track down. Best quality skate stuff from Nike by a long shot

Premier held a raffle on Monday. I don't know of any other skate shops that do raffles for online orders. If you have any local shops that have Nike accounts, do whatever method they use to select winners, which is usually Copdate. Otherwise, you would be lucky to win a raffle. In the past two years, through Premier, I've only won the raffle once and it was for a pair of non-SB Dunks.

If my local is any guide, they are well stocked in like 10 blazer colorways at the moment and at least 3 are orange labels colorways that have been released in the past 6 weeks.    I think it’s ok if it’s a rare instance here for a blazer and the dunks remain special

I think the issue is they didn’t have a hard release date like the poloroids or whatever so shops aren’t just releasing them as they come in.    I know a local shop around me has them but hasn’t put up raffle stuff yet (which usually means they’ll do a surprise FCFS drop)

The first paragraph on the orange label page says it's meant to support shops. If you're going to brand an entire line as "shops only" it should remain shops only.

[Bubblegum Tate]

They have these blazer premiums on the Nike site now along with the black/gold and barely green blazer mids.

But not sure how long those two have been available for sale up on the site.

I know - totally agree too, was just facetiously thinking about the glut of blazers that have been coming out nearly weekly for the past couple of months

They made so many of these and the kind of hiking looking style.   Don’t understand why either got so many damn colorways

The hiking ones are tolerable. The mismatched ones are so ugly, even Frankenstein's monster wouldn't fuck with them.

[Berky]

Just got the black/golds in the mail yesterday. The swoosh looks more orange than anything. Might send them back

[bbk]

Even the first orange label stuff was sold at fucking caliroots(sneakers, streetwear, "hype", not a skateshop in any kind of way.) in sweden/europe.

Fuck a Nike, always and forever.

[Carter]

I wish dunks eyelets weren't changed and made so far apart to make it look way fatter. feels ugly looking down. anyone else feel the same?

[Hedgehog In Da Fog]

All these Punky Brewster ass colorways

Perfect description

[Mean salto]

Are Nike SB allowed to just pick colours because it looks good?  Why does every shoe have to be complete featch nonsense or get given some sports name. (Altho I get the team names for easy reference)

I think a lot of Dunk history pre-SB was tied in College/Uni colorways.   Maybe a reference to the Be True To Your School stuff

They're a sportswear company.

Yeah I said I get the sports teams names. I'm more talking about them inventing some bullshit story for a shoe. If you're that sad and need story's to collect shit buy a comic book.

Caliroots used to have a skateshop in the basement, I guess they detached that as a separate entity at some point. And of course now they are owned by some fashion corp.

But ”in any kind of way” I don’t fully agree with.

That’s the shit fashion designers do.   They imagine the type of person who wears it and what they’ll wear it to (the story of their piece of clothes).

With the shoes, it’s just a place to find inspiration from colorways-wise.  I personally think the bubble gum on the sole is a rad idea especially because it’s a first time kind of flourish.    It’s okay to fun with shit

They got into skateboarding to sell  nike sb. The previous owners and bosses, the founders, were absolute trash people, I know, they bought the skateshop I worked at and ran it to the ground to open their own store, which closed in less than two years and a year maybe later they sold the company.

Sure, they also have ties to the swedish dist of ace, primitive, tum yeto, sole tech and more, which is also ran by a kook.

The caliroots founders sure as shit didn't skate:
