I’m sure all contracts were honored at a company that size...

Just because you're SURE all contracts were honored doesn't mean they were.

doesn't mean they weren't, either.  my fault for even bringing up something that no one else has even mentioned. 

nike's presence in the late 90s was a joke and them leaving with their tail between their legs wasn't them "abandoning the industry" because they weren't even apart of it.  so it's not precedent because it's an entirely different situation.   nike tried to release some shoes for skateboarders and they didn't know what they were doing and made bad shoes.   skateboarding didn't want them and they got the hint.  hardly comparable to SB's 20 year existence

p.s. done with this conversation as i'm sure everyone else is on this thread.  we just want to shake our heads at some new dunk collabs and drool over new blazers colorways

got some bruin reacts recently and they feel nice and look good too- black/ white colorway and are tts

these red ones are dope too
[close]
are they narrow? And take a while to break in?
[close]

i'd skate mine right out the box but that is what i usually do.

they are pretty much in the middle when it comes to width for me! The thing with them is that the shoe and sole are pretty minimal- sole has NO padding at all- insole is doing all the work but because of that they are pretty flexible for a cupsole. as soon as your feet warm up it softens the insole wich is almost immediately!

Hope that helps!
This sounds like my experience with some Team Classics. I liked them for hot weather (Houston, TX summer) but I feel like if I’d had slightly grippier grip, I would’ve put holes in the outsole before I got through the suede in the Ollie area. Stopped skating em as the spot under my front foot big toe and ball of my foot are paper-thin, treadless bubbles waiting to pop. Before that, they felt slim/minimal but I really liked them and the rest of the materials held up surprisingly well.

Anyone been on Team Classics and Bruin Reacts that could offer a comparison?
I only skate prime numbers, so it's either 53s or 59s, feast or famine

Team Classics have no cushion whatsoever.

Bruin Reacts have tons of cushion.

I appreciate it!
Would you say the suede is heavier on the Bruin?

Nike made skate shoes in the 1996 and dipped when it wasn't profitable.
[close]

Adidas and converse as well.  Their approach was lacking and they tried again.  Unless you think they should have kept the Choad going
[close]

Great so we can agree that there is an instance where they've bailed on skateboarding for a few years. Meaning there is precedence for them doing it again. No need to call everyone names anymore. That being said, I will cop these


[close]

Who’d they bail on?  Bam Margera?  I’m sure all contracts were honored at a company that size   They approached skateboarding incorrectly and no one bought their shit so they decided to rework things.   The Choad was hardly the SB Dunk.  Adidas had Gonz, Lance, Mountain, Paolo Diaz, Matt Beach and Cons had KA, Chany and others.  Sounds like they “bailed” on more people than Nike, but Gonz and KA stayed/rejoined those programs so it doesn’t seem like there are hard feelings there. 

eS kicking all their riders off only to restart months later and only flow skaters from then on...now that sounds shitty.

New Age Dunks are nice, but will be ridiculous to get I'm sure.

I need these

Another angle.  Apparently this is the 2nd release and not the last.   Not sure if the purple ones from last year are the Terras the post refers to.

Tate posted em but not complaining about seeing them again! Love orange label releases.

These and the navy blue ones with the gum outsole are the kind of colorways I wish were released and restocked regularly. It's a shame we won't see those blue ones in the US.

Local Nike rep and his friends were skating the spot I was at yesterday. Him and all his friends skating dunks, including many EU only releases, like the navy gums. I get it, but it’s super fucking annoying knowing actual skateboarders who don’t happen to know the right people can’t get dunks at retail price to skate, because of artificial scarcity and hypebeast bullshit.

THIS. I remember a time not too long ago where any skater could go online or to a skate shop even and buy dunks for $100 or so.

I used to get them in the sale/discount section at shops for under $100. Hopefully some mumble rapper goes on tiktok and makes a viral video wearing some other Fucking shoe and the hypebeasts go on that bandwagon.

There are new colors apparently hitting overseas shops. Not sure if they're pulling his shoe, or liquidating before a new model, or what.
