    I dont have any skate or surf shops around me. If I were still in the Pee Dee I would probably have a hook up at Salty's in Florence. I saw a skate shop in Charleston having a raffle and made my sister register. Probably no chance though because I feel like skate shops are even more hardcore backdoor than regular places. The numbers just arent there for these releases and they want to make sure they have their bros held down first.

    A lot of the skate shops don’t want the crazy mania an in-store release creates. They either backdoor or do online raffle the hyped releases. They don’t have the staffing to handle a crazy release in store.

    They crushed that collab. Not a Dunk guy at all but even I want them. Not paying the crazy resell but would love to have a pair.

    I dont quite like them as good as the other two pair but these hit me right in the feels. When I was a kid my grandpa had a jacket and one of those caps with the ear flaps in this exact color combo. The outside was this color of duck camo and the jacket liner and inside of the hat was the safety orange.

    I get it on the regular gr stuff like the blue/white ones and then Brazil ones coming up but you can't really blame non-Dunk guys for wanting the Chunky Dunks. They are just that good.

    Im only a fan because of how great they nailed the theme. Like if they hadnt put Ben and Jerry's name with it and you just saw a picture of the shoe you would think damn that looks like Ben and Jerry's. Its way better than that 7-11 dunk that got cancelled.

    I've been on a sneaker kick, mostly comfortable stuff, but I am getting more into "hype" stuff. I need to get a pair of j1's I want 11's again to relive elementary school, and my first UB's are coming, I can see that being a rabbit hole.

    So what else should I look into?

    Also, I need something in an ND colorway for football season if it happens. I'd normally buy the UA ND runners but I am open to getting something cooler in an ND scheme.

    I stalked the multicolor 4.0s on stockx and got them for 122 so I am real happy with that. If I like them I can see buying a bunch more. I'm looking for more colorways I like in the Epic React as well

    Think there are some Jordan 3 or 4’s in an ND colorway. I may be mistaken

    UB’s are more comfortable than reacts. Look for the rerelease of the original triple whites that started the whole UB/Yeezy craze that they’re releasing coming up. Also posted earlier but these reacts have me feeling some type of way. Just beautiful. https://www.nike.com/t/react-infinity-run-flyknit-air-mens-running-shoe-1D69Xj

    Depends on how ridiculous you want to get, you can grab a couple AM90's that I think would look pretty cool for game days:
    https://stockx.com/nike-air-max-90-metallic-gold-2020-w
    The prices on these are nuts now but I always kind of wanted them being from South Bend:

    Really, just google Nike St. Patricks day and you'll get more options than you'll know what to do with.

    Jordan 4 dunk from below are navy/gold but came out a few years ago so they’ll be tough. Jordan 11 low white/gold are fresh as fuck and also super uncomfortable so if you’re ok risking your feet to look good on game day those are probably the play. Air max 90 metallic gold came out in women’s and should be available (I bought these as well but yet to wear). Air max 97 came out in metallic gold as well and I personally prefer those over the 90 but both look good but are also flashy as hell. I’m sure you could nike id a pair of reacts if you wanted, or navy blue ultra boost then get some gold boosted stripes to put on them.

    OH my. Those are right up my alley, I am getting heavy on white base color though, NB Fuel Cells are white, NMD Pride are white, UBs are based on white.

    Fuck though, another wouldn't hurt.

    Begs another question, anyone use reshoevn8er or anything like that? the neighbors dog muddied my white NB's the other day and I nearly flipped.

    I like both of those, the gold pair look like a pair of Goodwill shoes I had in HS that I spray painted metallic gold for Homecoming (school colors blue and gold) I may have to get those for nostalgia.

    The “dunk from below” are actually Jordan 5 lows now that I think about it.

    I think it’s stupid the sizing is different. They should just run men’s shoes from 7 up and start women’s at a 4 or 5 but have the sizing the same

    You have a ton of better options than AF1s. Ignore those bricks imo.
