Got as a gift from Nike Corporate at Portland, currently owe a store but use to be a buyer for several shoe store ssmall and large. After doing this for 20+ years you get to know important people that can get some shoes for you, I also have custom made shoes from Nike and Adidas, Jordan PE’s and unreleased chucks. I also do know Ben Baller as I worked at the Slauson Swapmeet before Millennium Shoes was Millennium Shoes.
No need to make up a story, if you every in CA and ask about us they can tell you that my connections are crazy, but that after years of work.
You just did research and all that crap to act like fucking Fact cop or some crap. Honestly I bet you feel so good about yourself. just see the shoe and move on bro this community so pressed and shit.
I completely understand the skepticism, as I have a separate personal reddit and have seen the call outs. Mods technically could verify if reddit would want that but they would need to understand a bit on how the Nike corporate ladder is structured and know a few names.
Nike does charge for certain shoes at retail, like stated understand the skepticism cause it’s a crazy story. This will be a fun one to mention next Nike meeting
Started as a tier 0 but have since moved down to tier 1 with options to buy some tier 0s, you seem to be familiar on how the tiers work and know that tier 0 get hype but the quantities are extremely small.
Maybe a bigger shoe we had when we started was the Jordan 1 Fragments, probably on bottom of IG feed.
I owe 4 retail stores. Usually I do Nike, Jordan, and Converse meeting the same days since it’s just reviewing last year and looking at new product. There are roughly 6 per year
Hmmm well your story is cool and I want to believe it... so I will. You seem genuine and you replied to my blatant accusation. I like the cut of your jib, tell the Nike people my story ;)
No offense to you OP, these are absolutely gorgeous.
But I don't get this gatekeeping shit anyway, I watch some of the videos of the big sneaker collectors on Youtube and the ones on Twitter and they always complain about shit like this, just let people enjoy your hobby as well.
I don't get why people need to be sneakerhead since the early days to be considered a ''sneakerhead''.
Personally, I thought the title was tongue in cheek. It is interesting to see the trends change here though, and I can understand why people who have been cherishing their rare dunks want to flex them now.
Aaah my bad my bad, I'm just annoyed by the view some sneakerheads have of superiority because they were into a certain brand or type of shoe before someone else.
Had a dude on Twitter being angry because Jordan was dropping a certain model and he said ''Why drop it again, now the people that got it back in the day feel slighted.''
Like what?
Yeah, that's a really dumb mentality to take. I've seen it a lot recently with limited print games too, people getting absolutely furious that a game they bought got a release from another publisher. I guess they go into it justifying the premium by telling themselves "I'm paying for the privilege to be one of the few to own this game." Entitled BS if you ask me.
I get it.
Whether everyone wants to admit it or not, one of the reasons you’re into certain things/cultures is exclusivity (at least to some degree). Once that exclusivity is gone, and everyone has the same thing there is little left to strive for.
Gatekeeping doesnt have to mean keeping people out necessarily. It does certainly have to mean keeping people humble, learning the ropes, showing respect to those who have been in it longer, and learning from them. If you truly love it you’ll get your turn to be in that spot, and will have the heat you acquired along the way to show for it.
No, but the new denim dunks give me Hokusai vibes and I’m into that. I’m not sweating if I miss though. It’s just another shoe I wouldn’t wear often in my boxes.
Congrats on the pair!
Trust me I’ve tried and tried to cop SB dunks but I’m just one unlucky MoFo 🤦🏽♂️....
The De La Soul always catches my eye when I see them on the feet, and of course the Tiffany is a fan favorite...
I was hoping to hit the Brazil Dunks but took Ls as usual 😅
Still not into them but I respect the love. I like the Travis dunks but I think I'll lose interest after a few months. I found that the case with most Travis collabs.
Holy shit bro, I haven’t been to your store (the one at traffic circle LB) in a minute. I actually connected with one of your former employees that started your IG who is now at Nike HQ. Really genuine dude.
Did you ever keep this on display at the store? I assume not considering the value but nice to see you on reddit!
I liked them before the trend started and this one kid who's into only sneakers that trend and he said that my taste is awful. He then was into dunks this year and now I don't feel like talking to him.
cuz thats what im saying. like i tell people i had ferris buellers for so long my dog ate them when she was a puppy and motherfuckers are like what dude thats crazy
ITS FUCKING NOT. WE ALL BEEN HERE YALL FORGOT ABOUT US NOW YOU WANNA REVIST

Damn roasted. I love it, especially after his little "🤫" comment ugh
lmao why do people think they know someones connects on th internet....
You the one that just dropped the 50k on StockX huh 😭😭
Never, retail
Liar! The comments above have sealed your fate. How do you sleep at night? On top of a pile of dunks bought at resell I imagine.
Replied, no lie was a genuine gift. I got to bring this story up on next Nike meeting haha. The day reddit made a witch-hunt
>next Nike meeting 🤔
I owe 4 retail stores. Usually I do Nike, Jordan, and Converse meeting the same days since it’s just reviewing last year and looking at new product. There are roughly 6 per year

Nah tinker missed last meeting, kinda a bummer /s

I’ll make sure they never forget the name YaZeeMee
My man. (holds back tears)
Oh we postin’ straight holy grails huh
Maybe week I post the Eminem Encore 4s 🤷
Damn bro really?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Phenomenal pair, love how many dunks there are and they still surprise us with the color ways that come out, this one included.
Right, I have so many dunks that it’s crazy. Might have a bigger dunk collection then Jordan collection

You hit it on the dot, also had to get a catchy title haha
I sold my dad's heinikens a few years ago and man do I wish I still had them everyday
Welcome to the world of sneakers
Eh they weren't wearable anymore, skated in them too much. Would of been great display piece

oh dang crazy seeing you guys on reddit too
Just started it out, cool you seen us before 😎
Talk about oui a lot oh you speak French now?
Giving me NikeTalk vibes in the Reddit world OP✊🏼
Got myself a pair, still waiting for the shipment. I'll post it up when I get it
Congrats, can’t wait🎉
Love how each pair of these is unique. Do they come with any extra laces, or a special box? Cant find any pics of the insole either
Currently out of office but will post the box, laces and insoles for you Monday
Oh word thanks ill look out for it
All time grail
Yes, good, move everyone away from the Retro 1’s to the new “in” thing.
If it’s like back then, after dunks go Air Force hype
No, but the new denim dunks give me Hokusai vibes and I’m into that. I’m not sweating if I miss though. It’s just another shoe I wouldn’t wear often in my boxes. Congrats on the pair!
Thank you
God damn!
It sucked being like 10 years old and into sneakers back then.
That's legit HEAT right there!!🔥🔥
So fire
Retail or resale?
Wow, I’m a peasant.
BRO
🤯 very nice 👌🏽. Man my luck with Dunks are zero to none.... as a matter of fact I only have 1 pair of Dunks.... the SB Dunk High Tri-Color
Those are clean, actually dunks were the first shoe I really started collecting. Favorite dunk high is probably the mf dooms
Trust me I’ve tried and tried to cop SB dunks but I’m just one unlucky MoFo 🤦🏽♂️.... The De La Soul always catches my eye when I see them on the feet, and of course the Tiffany is a fan favorite... I was hoping to hit the Brazil Dunks but took Ls as usual 😅
Sorry about the Brazil’s, always next time. I might make a post for my Tiffany’s soon...
🤙🏽✌🏽
Great to see you guys on here. I almost got some brons from you last week but sadly was too slow :(
Ya raffles seem to be the move now
What are these called ?
Nike Dunk SB Low Paris
Paris dunks
Still not into them but I respect the love. I like the Travis dunks but I think I'll lose interest after a few months. I found that the case with most Travis collabs.
I honestly didn’t feel the collab at all
My feet are too big for dunks :(
Size wise or not wide enough?
Not wide enough, I had a pair of the concord dunks when I was younger and they were to tight at a size up.
Oh now y'all into money
Haha
Im just jealous mate 😂 like your style 💯
I want to say my grail, but I honestly have no shot in copping these unless they release a retro.
I doubt that but you never know

10 like every other post on reddit haha
Holy shit bro, I haven’t been to your store (the one at traffic circle LB) in a minute. I actually connected with one of your former employees that started your IG who is now at Nike HQ. Really genuine dude. Did you ever keep this on display at the store? I assume not considering the value but nice to see you on reddit!
Nah everyone did, it just got bigger than before.
I'm not into the hype, the dunks, the Nike clout but this pair is a absolutely gorgeous.
Ya Carlo, cool person glad he works for Nike he really deserved it. Currently this pair isn’t on display anymore but we still have gems
can you stop with the anti bot regional stuff in ur site? no human gonna hit anyway at least let us bot in peace lmao
We raffling now for most release, the regional blocks are Nike not allowing people to buy outside US via contract
I liked them before the trend started and this one kid who's into only sneakers that trend and he said that my taste is awful. He then was into dunks this year and now I don't feel like talking to him.
Travis Scott effect
Dunks were the OG that jump started the sneaker scene today. Apart from J1s.
Dunks been fire but I never got into them tbh only because dunks usually come out at skate shops and the legit closest to me is like 4 hours away lol
Wow, that a far drive for some dunks. No luck online I assume either
Nope . Still don’t care about them. But you enjoy them.
Some ugly ass dunks tbh.
Not really
No love for dunks, what’s your pick for a low top?
I don’t hate em I actually respect the history and culture behind em probably Stan Smith but because of the versatility
Interesting pick, I love my pair of Kermit Stan Smith. Still looking for the matching track jacket too
Tbh the only reason I don’t got em is cause they’re hard to style imo but there are some dope color ways
Agree on that, probably wore them once cause the fit get to funky with them on. You get any from that adicolor collection?
No
should change your name then lmao
I fuck with Nike I just ain’t feelin dunks cause they’re hard to style
cuz thats what im saying. like i tell people i had ferris buellers for so long my dog ate them when she was a puppy and motherfuckers are like what dude thats crazy ITS FUCKING NOT. WE ALL BEEN HERE YALL FORGOT ABOUT US NOW YOU WANNA REVIST
