Too colourful for me. When i buy shoes I stick to black/white.

We have to equip people on this board and now we have to dress them, too? You gotta be shitting me.

One word. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

Stick with normal colored stuff.

I actually like them. I have a pair of Nike high tops that are bright green and orange and pink so I'm one who favors the odd colored shoes. But, it's a bastard trying to find some clothes to match them. I mean, if you're into that kind of stuff.

No dunk SBs really retail for that much, it's just what the price is pushed up to when they're in demand. You can probably find them cheaper but there's no sense picking up a pair like that this late into the game.

Pick up a pair of the Jordan 7/8/9 dunks, you can still find them for under 100 and they look clean as hell.

un-tiffanys are the most recent dunk I picked up, personally I love them.

As everyday shoes? No way.

If you have clothes that work with them, yes.

personally im not too sure of them myself, its more or less the low availability and the extremely limited quantity that make them sought after for not really the look. i dont think they look to bad, but i think id rather get a nicer pair of SB's in red and black

I have a ton of SBs and the pairs that I love wearing on a daily basis are my team editions. I'm on my fourth pair of red/white/black team editions.

i got lots of stuff that would look pretty great with them, mostly shirts that are red/black/orange and some black jordan shorts

I like simple black and white shoes, but if you the clothes that would go with them and the cash to spare, why not?

the hawaii's actually do retail for 170, but they cost around 215

Hawaii retail was never 170. I paid $110 which was over retail anyway. All Dunk Lows retail for $65 and mids/highs are $70.

Most stores mark up any SB release. People will pay whatever the stores charge. A prime example were the Staple NYC Pigeons at ReedSpace for $200.

i read somewhere they retail for 170, oh well whatever it doesnt really matter, 110 is better anyways

Nah, retail's 65 on low's cost is usually around 40, based on the type of account you have.

for SB's 40 bucks NEVER, they are way too popular for nike to make them retail for that much, alond with jordans they are nsome of nikes best selling shoes

[TBLfan 25]

I think he's talking about cost for retail stores.

[Thockey17 1]

Learn how to read. He simply stated that the cost of the shoe is around $40, not the actual retail price.

...And they're not one of nikes best selling shoes..not even close, actually.

[mik3 1]

They have a niche, but they really don't sell that well. That's part of the reason you don't really see them in chain stores. They sell to the market they're directed at, they don't really cross over like say the air max line.

[Hazard14 0]

ahh my bad, wasnt thinking too straight yesterday, I thought they sold pretty good, well im gonna have to rephrase that they are popular shoes, but not as popular as Jordans, AF1's and Air Max's

[fatwabbit 93]

brings to mind 'flash', as in the superhero!

[TBLfan 25]

the pegasus, monarchs and various shox(currently the turbo IV) are probably the most popular shoes from nike right now. The air max series are more than most people are willing to pay for shoes.

yep they deffinetley have a niche, they are directed toward a certain group of people and they sell to that certain group, although not everybody is willing to pay in upwards of 200 dollars for a sneaker. one thing I dont get though is that they were intended to be and SB shoe (skateboarding) but nowadays most people that skate would never wear Dunk SB's for skating, unless they dont mind having the shoe destroyed
