Why are Nike Dunks almost $200

[TheMailMan]

When

That feeling of walking into a skate shop and copping a pair of limited joints at retail in the mid-late 00's

I used to get so much heat from this skateshop in Oceanside.... Money cats, skate or dies, Mork N Mindys, ... Melvin's were my favorite dunks back in the day .

Resell market is a speculators market. Really no point in crying at the prices. Best advice is to find another shoe if you strike out on retail. Dunks have cheaper "leather" than air forces and aren't even comfortable. You can find tons of shoes that are better unless you like dunks that much

SB Dunks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The quality on 3's has improved since the 2016 True Blue's. The quality on 3's from 2007-2011 was questionable to horrible, especially the 2011 Black Cement 3's.

Cacs ruined sneaker culture. I remember the first time seeing suburban cacs hypebeast'd out like four years ago and I haven't stopped cringing since. Sneaker culture used to be much more humble. You think it's bad paying $200 for Dunks when they literally charging $1-2k+ for certain SB colorways. And now that cacs have gentrified Dunks and Jordan's like the 1's and 4's, nikkas only wana rock designer kicks that retail for a thou wow. Everybody thinks they a rapper now and spends money like one in this cringe ass flex era.

I got true blues from 2010 I think that still look new. I probably wear them like 4 times a year though

It’s too late for me to switch up now

Im a nike lifer

But working for them…
Being inside WHQ and just seeing the quality of the product drastically drop over the years and the hype over retro shyt is really saddening and disheartening.


Give me my Cortez, huaraches and old school waffle runners…


Don’t even wear js anymore and my very first shoe in life was the Jordan 1 in ‘85 my uncle got for me…

Will never go out of style.

I've seen a lot of white college age girls in Dunks recently.
I got the Pandas retail only because Nike keep making them and releasing them every month or so.

When I see someone rockin some hyped up kicks in public, they walking like they’re the shyt but everyone around them don’t give a fukk. Only other sneaker heads will go up to you and talk about shoes and they’re most likely dweebs.

Jordans on the right came out first. Pay $200 for an officially licensed bootleg brehs.

I was just in a sneaker store today. Everything Nike is $110 and over that would have been less than $95 10 years ago!!!!


Even air Max 90s are $140!!!

Facts, I worked for Nike (BricknMortar) around 2009-10 and quality then (apparel and shoes) versus now? some bullshyt

 

[SmarkMero]

Hypebeasts( suburban whitekids)caught on and Nike was able to raise the prices to sell to that demographic

You seen those Jordan 1's Mid prices?..................... Jordan 1 fukking Mids!

You can argue dunks are the shoe that ruined the sneaker culture. First hypebeast sneaker imo. I remember ppl camping out for dunks over 20 yrs ago
