    straight up fire right there. the overall shape and no overt branding (surprise) make me think of Visvim… what i wouldn’t give for a Tier 0 account near me.

    extra points if the ones you got are actually in that black/black colorway instead of black/Fruity Pebbles.

    this shoe is ugly…simple…a girl would not be attracted by these and isnt that the whole reason dudes started caring about fancy shoes in the first place?…but my point is for however much they cost i could find wayyy better

    and then it’s just plain ol ugly

  3. omegaSB says:

    .hmmmmm, i love the shape ….except lazering ..sheesh ….simple simple simple …and I would have had to given you a kudos bar w/ xtra M& M’s

  4. omegaSB says:

    oh yea props for calling me loyal family …..*sniff …no hobo

    ^ Waiting for the day when you give Dunks their props

  6. omegaSB says:

    hey come on i own quite a few pair of dunks …its just , they dont make em like they used to

  7. Meka Soul says:

    ay yo, one of these days could i drop something on my sneaker fetish? i just spent the whole day cleaning all my kicks… even the ones i haven’t worn in months.

  8. Grand Master says:

    @omega: what’s your favorite pair of og dunks then?

    @NO for life: “a girl would not be attracted by these and isnt that the whole reason dudes started caring about fancy shoes in the first place?”
    -To be honest… nah… eff what a girl thinks about my gear – and not on no homo Hypebeast streetwear tip either, by that i dont mean that I’m trying to get other dudes to jock my game. i could care less what anyone thinks about my kicks.

    speaking for myself, i cop shoes for the art of it. shits like these joints right here are works of art, and i know that not everyone can see that, no judgment against them. it’s like an Andy Warhol or a Picasso or a Jean-Michel Basquiat. art collectors are not spending millions of dollars on a piece of canvas to make em a chick magnet (well not most of em, im assuming). there are cheaper ways to pull women.

    same thing, when i spend my money on some new footwear, im not thinking about what nobody else is gonna view me as. it’s about my appreciation and interpretation alone.

    ^^ Oh shit Mek,

    Hell yeah mayne, mi casa es su casa [ll].

    ^ Extra Large co-sign to Grand Master

  10. Grand Master says:

    regarding the photo update… i love the details the clear cupsole shows, it reminds me of those CLOT Air Max 1’s released in hong kong. not so happy with the fruity [||] colorway, this couldve been a real grown-up shoe had they not gone with those. now it feels like a more younger type of shoe. But not a bad look, great alternative to more common sneakers

  11. the_dallas says:

    ^ I like the fun aspect of the shoe. The bubblegum bottoms(cupsole) were an unexpected plus. I’m actually considering a second pair for the ‘icebox’ (deader than dead storage)

  12. Dart_Adams says:

    Oh man….those are some joints you just cop and keep in the box just to take digital pics of ’em and put ’em on blogs and websites. A collector would most def cop those on the strength of the uniqueness of the shoe.

    I ain’t never seen them shits ANYWHERE before, Dallas.

    One.

  13. Grand Master – very true you shouldn’t dress solely to attract others, only to feel good about yourself, but at least a certain level of consideration should be taken in regards to the fact that you may actually be scaring the opposite sex away with what you have on your feet. The ladies WILL run if your kicks are disgusting enough, so if you wish to procreate you may want to take a good look at your kicks and make sure they’re not made out of pussy repellent disguised as leather. Take for instance the (at least 25 year old) guy I saw in a grocery store the other day. Hot pink on baby pink bapes.

    He can’t get it. Even if he put different shoes on, that image would be ingrained in my mind forever. Especially knowing how much money he actually probably put down for those.

    I have faith that you have better taste than that though so hopefully you don’t have to worry about that. Enjoy your kicks and your booty calls.

    my favorite dunks are like this ….

    some navy blue and obsidian dunk highs …they had an almost satin /light nylon interior …most comfortable pair of shoes i ever owned ….i got them in 99′ and they still have life in them

    ….some others are the Safari highs …that plain khaki and jungle green are luscious

    and of course the Undefeated Dunk which i bought more than once cuz they were so heavenly.
    …..honorable mentions …Viotech’s , flash’s , and the lovely Supreme dunk ( red) which i still have yet to officially cop yet, and the UNKLE dunk which needs no explanation

  15. J™ says:

    The top ones are crispy. I’m not feelin’ the toe box on the second ones. To each his own though.

    Omega on dunks
    “they dont make em like they used to”

    …troof…

    I’m all AM 90 mad too. Quit puttin’ leather on the toe boxes. Bring that mesh back and midsoles that don’t crack.

  16. the_dallas says:

    Y’all sound like a bunch of old crabgrass niggas talkin’ bout that back in the day shit. Y’all wasn’t even old enough to buy kicks when shits first dropped.

    Look out for my nigga Sean Price to drop a single talkin’ bout Dunks. Sean P = most hardbody rapper in the game right now.

    Get up on the NDESTRUKT Air Resistance if you want a shoe that lasts forever.

    Search DP dot com for pics of that piff.

  17. Yo I give these a 7.5 on the fux-o-meter

  18. Big Rils says:

    An acquaintance of mine crafted some ridiculous Jesus Price Superstar Stan Smith’s for Sean P. I’m pretty sure they pop up in one of his video’s, but can’t remember the one.

  19. DennLive says:

    I just picked up the Neon Talarias like 2 months ago at the Riverhead Nike outlets for $20. For that price i couldnt pass up something new was worth waaaay more.

    “Y’all sound like a bunch of old crabgrass niggas talkin’ bout that back in the day shit. Y’all wasn’t even old enough to buy kicks when shits first dropped.”

    6th grade, got the white orange and blue Bo’s from my aunt, went 50/50 with moms on my black J5’s. It’s been on ever since. She wouldn’t let me put my allowence down and get that all black Starter with the Bulls logo on the back though. The media had every suburbanite mother in the nation thinking that they once you got that jacket you might as well start making funeral arangements. I ended up with some Phoenix Suns joint. Kevin Johnson, stand up.
