Are the newer dunk low pros with the thin tongues essentially the same thing as the ishod dunks? I just got a pair and visually I can’t really see a difference.

those things with the damn straps can't really be selling THAT well.

I've said it about a lot of toecap shoes but the combination of toe cap, velcro, and cartoonish swoosh makes these for real toddler shoes.

I actually like the suede toe cap look, the velcro not so much

i mean with the size of the shoe on my computer screen here it could very well be a child's shoe...

he and John skate blazers. look at instagram and mags, so many people skate blazers. why wouldn't nike make a hockey blazer?

Because they don't want people buying the Blazer. Just like how they used to discourage pros from Dunks starting around 2008, despite being the shoe that solidified the SB brand. Now they are trying to push the "skateable" Dunk again w/ Kevin Bradley and BA colorways.

Maybe bc Donovan just had a blazer colorway

If they didn't want people buying blazers why would they make 5000 colorways every month? A collab blazer wouldn't be "special" because skate shop walls are buckling under the weight of how many fucking blazers are out right now. A one off colorway of a one off model is "special".

never saw anyone in the wild skating them, and the outlet by me had a bunch of sizes. maybe because they were leather? idk, suede blazers seem to be the way to go. plus, that was just a donny color way, not a full hockey collab

sharkin · « **Reply #7728 on:** April 24, 2018, 09:47:14 AM »

Makes perfect sense to me

I've always wanted to skateboard in a tennis shoe that says hockey on the back

It’s not really leather. They were amazing shoes

They really were fantastic. I'd love another pair.

I think I'm gonna buy these today. Has anybody skated them? Seen some clips of the team wearing them on their current tour but that isn't much of an indicator.

I've had these in my hands and the suede is bad quality.

Got mine in today and they're honestly not that bad. Not fuzzy at all on my pair.
The suede is not that 'flexible' though... hope that will get better.

I like the fit, but the laces are WAY too short...

Edit: Photo of messed up rims and AF2 was deleted. Found another pic.

ah man, poor rims

shit_for_brains · « **Reply #7737 on:** April 27, 2018, 06:56:58 AM »

I thought about it a little bit and I think fucked up BMW rims that are probably being financed are perfect for the customer that would buy denim FTC AFIIs.

Bubblegum Tate · « **Reply #7738 on:** April 27, 2018, 04:42:28 PM »

Up there is AF2 “Tupac”. Here is the “notorious BIG” dunk low.

Both are May QS.

I was in a Borders bookstore maybe fifteen years ago and overheard two guys looking at a car magazine saying "How come you never see good rims on a BMW?"

I believe those guys would totally rock these shoes.
