    it’s a type of Nike usually a skateboarding shoe. Think accord and civic both are Hondas just different styles.

    Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I assumed:

    Honda : Jordan
    Civic/Accord : Dunks

    Honda: Nike
    Civic/Accord: Jordan/ Dunk

    Then you get into the types of dunks and Jordans. Which would be the different type of accord or civic models.

    I bought two pair of retros. What’s that mean, suede instead of leather?

    Not to be a douche but retro means what it regularly means. Just a new version of an old style as opposed to buying a recent shoe so it would be buying a Jordan 1 (retro) as opposed to buying a Jordan 38 (new).

    I feel like the Jordan thing is a bit more nuanced.

    Nike: Honda
    Jordan: Acura
    Dunk: Accord
    AJ1: MDX

    Okay, I was stating that, of the "dunks" available, I purchased two pair of "Dunk Low Retro LE," whatever the fuck that means.

    I'm not trying to signal that I purchased some fucking elite sneakers. I'm just trying to understand what "Dunk Low Retro LE" means.

    Dunks are an old shoe, originally was only a high, came out in 1985. The low version came out in the early 00's. So Nike calls any new release a Dunk Retro bc its an old shoe, but most people only refer to old colorways that are brought back as "retros". Like when they release a Chicago colorway, that'll be a retro to sneakers guys bc they've released it many times.

    Dunks have been incredibly popular for a long time. From about 02-08, they were the biggest thing in sneakers. A lot of those go for tens of thousands of dollars. Then the hype faded and people moved onto other things. They got popular again around 2018 or so bc Travis started wearing them. They were the biggest thing in sneakers from 18-22 or so. That run started with a ton of limited pairs that were very hard to get. Nike churned out a million colorways and the hype crowd got bored. Nike still sells a billion of them bc it's just a great shoe. You can never go wrong with Dunks.

So far can agree customer services is terrible. Might do a charge back if I can’t get anyone on the phone or email. There live chat is hair AI and no one ever answers

    Christmas luncheon for work today, some exec's from out of town there in town. One of them was talking about Roomba's and it turned into buying a year old model bc they are all the same. One guy said he would do that with sneakers bc they are all the same. I just looked at the ceiling and but my tongue bc I didn't want to explain my fetish with my CEO.
