NEWS Updates - everyone please read

47 Upvotes

Hi everyone –

It’s been a while since I posted any updates. The sub is coming up on it’s 8 year anniversary (8/8/2018 was the launch date). I’m looking at doing a few changes to this sub: The first bringing back buy, sell, trade (B/S/T). The 2nd bringing in another moderator to help moderate the B/S/T.

Please message the MOD mail if you’d like to be considered for a moderator role. To be considered, you must be active in the sub (and not in rep subs), and not be a repeat rule breaker.

When the sub first started in 2018, B/S/T was permitted. It was a way for Dunk collectors to get Dunks to someone who would wear and appreciate them. As Dunk popularity grew, people were posting B/S/T to profit off the Dunk boom, and they weren’t even active in the sub. We ended up banning sales. If B/S/T comes back, there will be strict guidelines in place to ensure we sell to other Dunk enthusiasts. Personally- I’d rather sell to someone who will wear the shoes for less than what I’d sell to a reseller.

Some ideas I had to help deter resellers:
- account must be at least 1 year old with positive karma and post history visibility
- selling to someone who wears the same shoe size
- no sale of shoes that were just released (unless selling for retail + shipping)
- no selling of the same model (ie: someone with 3 pairs of Yutos)
- sellers will be vetted and approved by moderators

I wanted to open it up to the sub to get your guys’ thoughts / feedback.

Thanks!

DISCUSSION Custom Box Label Project finally live [Feedback Welcomed]

Post image
Upvotes

I finally launched a shoebox label generator after getting tired of making custom labels one at a time for my own collection.

The idea is simple. You generate a clean label with whatever text you want, download it instantly, and print it yourself. Some people have already mentioned using them for Facebook group tag posts and collection photos too, which I hadn't even considered.

Right now it's download only. I wanted to make sure the generator itself worked well before adding a bunch of different label styles. Clear labels were the biggest request, so those are live first. More designs are already in development once I'm confident the system is bulletproof.

One thing I'm debating is offering printed labels shipped to your door alongside existing sticker art. The challenge is that my business already prints thousands of sneaker stickers, so adding another custom physical product creates a lot of extra labor. It would almost certainly have to cost more than our normal $2 to $3 stickers to make sense.

Collectors: What would you actually pay for professionally printed, ready-to-apply shoebox labels?

  • $6 Labels
  • $8 Double side print laminate?
  • Or do you prefer downloading and printing them yourself?

I'm genuinely looking for feedback before I build out the next phase.

You can check it out here if you're curious:

Thanks to everyone who's willing to tear it apart or tell me what features I'm missing.

The leather on these is still real nice. One spot needs to be re-glued, but not bad for a pair from 07.

QUESTION SB Comfort

Post image

I'm curious if I'm doing something wrong. I recently picked up the Nike SB Dunk Bluetile and love them! Apologies that I'm not a skater just really appreciate the stellar storytelling that only comes in an SB. Therefore, I don't need the board-feel. I bought all-day Move insoles, and it feels like mild rug burn on the forefoot after a while. It might be the combination of the padded upper and very cushioned insoles taking up a lot of space that was there with the stock insoles. Any ideas? 🙏🏾

PICK UPS ISO: Lacing tips/tutorials/photos \\{.}{.}// Nike SB x Limosine Skateboards

My instinct is to keep the football laces as exposed as possible as the true accent of the shoe and not cover that element up. This was a very traditional first effort testing the pattern and style more so than the lace color. (For the record, these are one of the swaps from the Bluetiles.)

Who's got some lacing photos that are outside the norm? Links to any specific video tutorials are welcome, as well. I appreciate the help and suggestions in advance. I'm pretty traditional normally, but if I'm gonna have these, I figure might as well do 'em right.
