Are the Chicago Dunks ever releasing in the states? Have been skating strictly vulc shoes for the last 10 years and I think I'm ready to try to get some Dunks again. Granted, my chances of getting a pair of these are slim to none.

[close]

Yes! Check your local for drop dates, raffles, etc.

Early drop at uprise, due to them being in Chicago. Others shops will probably drop them in a week or two after.

[close]

The back heel part is growing on me, but I still wish it was white with just the tan black instead of both

Oops, I replied wrong on that. My bad, newbie here. So are these ever releasing in the US?

[Bubblegum Tate]

Yeah. They are a October “GR”. But we all know it won’t be easy to get.

Apparently easier than the Atlas or Instant ones

I want these just to say I was able to buy a good colorway pair of Nikes in 2020 cause thats basically an impossible feat this year.

GT teasing some samples

Look likes the mid version of his pro blazer with the thin collar

[ungzilla]

if they ruin standard blazers by GTing them i swear to jod i will continue to not buy blazers

Standard blazers are the only good thing in the Nike Catalog right now, they'd better not ruin it like they did with the low.

Im confused by how they made the GT terrible now. is the fit bad because its thinner around the collar and makes the fit not as snug, or does that sticthed collar dig into the ankle??? Either way you shouldnt have fucked with the fit

[Vintagebody]

The heel area has less, and stiffer material (more stiff bcuz of canvas and less cush). Its like some Vans shoes. Fit is argubly worse, duo to the fact that theres less cush to conform to your ancle.

Only one specific GT is bad - the green one with that back half canvas.   Avoid those and you should be fine

with the gt's the shoe goes floppier, the toe height is different, there is less stitching and reinforcement on the ollie area. they made the shoe to to shit faster. thats wh ythe recent gt's have the higher foxing to stiffen it up.

the GT Pro hi is NOT replacing the standard Blazer.

Thank god

would be nice if they could just make the exact same Gt blazer but with the higher foxing tape like on the Pro that was just released. but without that canvas / no padding . I just want the flick to last longer on them. Regular blazers are such a fucking bitch to get on that I forgot thats why I was skating the GT's all the time. but the GT's just die too quick.

If you haven’t tried them and dig the look the gts return is actually a great shoe. It might even be a contender for my favourite sb of all time.

It is definitely a good shoe. I bought a pair on a whim and wasn't totally sold on them, but once broken in, they feel terrific. And honestly, the break in doesn't take that long. The mesh vamp is sturdier than you'd think.

I just can't get over the fact that they are just a steam-rolled version of the airmax 1. Maybe it's cause I grew up around people wearing those shoes a lot, but I just think they look like pancakes, how they gonna do a classic dirty like that? Take some inspiration, sure, it's a nike shoe anyway. But they could also do their job and design something for once, that's all I'm asking. What do the nike sb design team actually do all day except colour in shoe silhouettes that already exist, we've had the blazer, the GT blazer, the dunk, the Ishod dunk, the bruin, the jordan 1 sb, the airforce 2...



And I know I'm in this thread like clockwork saying the same thing every 6 months but i'd love to see a side by side of what the nike sb design team do on the daily and what the adidas skateboarding design team do. Maybe Nike just ran the numbers and realized their skate program doesn't make enough money to warrant them actually paying people to design that many new silhouettes etc.
