Tate is one of the best posters that's not me
Not for skating but looked cool nonetheless:-nike-sb-project-ba-r-r-shield-black-reflective-silver-
weird that BA wasn't really featured in that, yet he had a flash shoe
I mentioned this a while back but... Are nike using more synthetic uppers on their dunks than before? The last two pairs I've bought have been 70-100% artificial.Not a terrible thing but man-made fabrics seem to never really mold to your feat.

[close]Nearly all of the new Nikes are at least partly synthetic. (See my earlier rant.) My Quartersnack Dunks are pretty nice but they will never beat the OG Weigers. I can't even skate most Janoskis now because the material is so shoddy. I only go for "premium" suede ones. Almost all of Nikes shoes for every sport are now sparsely paneled or "printed" and synthetic. Minimal materials, maximum profits. Look at the new Prod 8 and the Lunarglide 6 for comparative examples.

It's a cool shoe but I think the price vs materials equation on them is way out of whack. Production costs are probably 2/3s of a Dunk's.I've seen a total of two pairs of these worn by skaters in the wild.
