Post UPCOMING/RECENT NIKE SB shoe releases thread

THOSE MFS FINALLY MADE A GOOD SHOE WTF

goddamn, this is what I wanna see from nike!
It's techy and uses modern materials but still easy to understand with some classic design lines and not trying too hard.
And love me a runner toe, brings me back the joy of skating the Project BA.

Big Air Safari vibes on the design:


...and big Tech Challenge Vibes on the colorway:

What is up with @Ripped Laces thinking these are a Lynx ripoff.   I’m praying that’s heavy sarcasm on their IG and they’re mocking the pro they reposted

[Mean salto]

^they have to be joking.
I joked they looked like early 00s DVS but obvs that would be DVS designers of the time being into little details on Nike's.

Guess I have to be a moron because I can't see any lynx lol

Word, thanks.

I can def see skating a GR suede shoe that doesn’t have anything special about it (just another color way),

But when it’s a special shoe that has some story to it or collab, I always wonder if they’re being skated or kept as chillers for a long time because they’re special.

Personally, I got the orange label whites with a strap like four years ago for retail ($95! Dayum!), and wore them for one or two months, but then said “fuck it. They’re SKATE shoes.”

Skated them with shoe goo till the soles got flat…

Now I regret skating them because I would REALLY like to have those again just to wear.

Runners toe cap is the only similarity I see

nah, for sure. They don’t look like blatant rip offs or even “inspired” by them but there are similarities for sure.

Slap hates when someone says shoe a has similarities to shoe b (and I know I'm even doing it about them not looking like lynx) but this is the shoe I immediately remembered when I saw the Olympic Nike's

Its basically just the little toe bumper, two strips of play doh midsole style and the lacing but not much else

[heinzketchup]

Really need some new good colorways of that shoe, this one is a no for me

[BoxStuffer]

SB AJ IV Navy. 
Supposedly a 2025 release.

[Mean salto]

They should make customers show ID to prove they're over 30 to buy aj4s. Then make some 3s for over 40 year Olds.

My autistic trait is needing multiple pairs of any article of clothing I like that’s daily wear. It’s a curse with modern clothing that’s only sale for a season. Currently about to spend $200 and a few weeks shipping on these Adidas cause they’ve only dropped one new color way of this shoe in 4 years .

Wait, this is an autistic trait? I wear the same shit daily. I buy five pairs of the same pants and shirts lol. With shoes I usually stick to the same model (bought the Ishod 2 and regretted them almost instantly). I have 4 new pairs of NB 480s and 3 pairs of Dunks.

If I have too many color options my brain will freeze up. My therapist thinks I'm a little nutty, but clothes stress me out. I need them to feel and look a certain way, and I've spent weeks looking for the perfect clothes.

Years ago I bought the perfect shirt. Only grabbed one cause at the time I had no idea it was perfect. Haven't been able to find it since 😂

What would be the final consensus regarding the Wairmax?
Bought the red ones and I'm not sure if I love them or hate them.
I really like the look of it (very Muskaesque from Videoradio for me) but toes sit so low that is annoying. All good in the heel but with some extra cushioning on the toes or some midsole they would be so nice.

Gum pack up on SPoT. Says OL but I’m calling cap.

I got the email too, so easy to get these now, makes me happy seeing SB dunks sit on retail websites now.

happy to get them retail/ below again too.

i don't know if they qualify for Orange Label though? i mean however does a shoe qualify for that? Per the certain box color?
i threw my box away and skate these right now. laces don't have that orange tip that OL nikes usually have

Not marked as orange label because the insole has black square instead of orange square.

Also, I’ve read in past that the leather is not as good as the orange label release.

Which makes sense considering the orange labels still resell for $300 fucking dollars.

*(I’m just salty and full of regret that I don’t still have the orange label white mids. They had a good life being skated, but I still feel incredibly stupid.)

just adding my observations from the pairs I’ve bought recently:

• Outside tongue tag doesn’t say “Dunk Low Pro”
• inside tongue tag says “support your local”
• Aglets are black, matching the black square on insole

@ 4:40 you can see those details pointed out. Not OL. Wonder how often they’re mislabeled like that?

Hot take: Leo's skate better than Dunks. Tried them on a whim after a bad experience with AF-1 and my local not carrying many NB and was pleasantly surprised. They look nice in real life and are slept on in my area.

It feels that everybody is sleeping about Leo's. I remember hearing that it was a better Blazer which is a bold statement.
