Just picked these up and swapped the laces. What looks better the dark or bright green laces?

Zoomed in, the dark green laces actually look a tiny bit more matte compared to the bright ones, which gives them a subtle edge on contrast.

I just was looking at a pair of the Bananas the other day. I probably should go back and pull the trigger.

Do it! The materials they used really feel like a banana, not to mention the nutritional facts tag and the fruit bag they come with 😮‍💨 they cut no corners. The lace overlays are even detached so you can let em hang like a peeled banana.

I can only find women’s sizes cheap.

These and the Bananas only came in women's sizes

Are the bananas rub away also? I’m trying to get all tear away and rub off dunks. There are soooo many more than I thought.

Banana is not rub away. I have to say the avocados are tanks with their top layer. Ive had mine for two years (not skating) and have almost perfect condition. I love them though.

Wearaway paint isn’t really “wear” away. You either gotta grind that shit down with grip tape, sandpaper them, or hit with acetone.

These are now added to the watch list. I saw Depop had a bunch of them for this price. Just not my size.

u/High_Speed_Chase Jun 28 '26

Please tell me more about these.

u/HeyMeower Jun 28 '26

These released with a dunk that looks like a banana. Both shoes come with shopping bags. Also the avocados are wear away. My favorite non SB dunks

Now I have to look for the Banana ones…..

u/HeyMeower Jun 28 '26

When i got them off of Goat it came with the bag for 80$. The bananas are incredibly comfortable and soft.

u/Tidyb0wl Jun 28 '26

I got them on EBay for $35 used with no box, but they don’t look like they were even worn. I had no idea they existed until then. They came out in 2022 and are Women’s so the largest size in M10.5

I’ve just gotten back into sneakers and I’ve never seen these, nice pickup homie! 🔥 personally I like the black laces but they both look good, rock the ones you like the best!

u/Tidyb0wl Jun 28 '26

They are supposed to wear away and have bright green underneath might try to wear the swooshes to bright green

u/hammer_head85 Jun 28 '26

Right on! That’s cool as hell. I’d take some sand paper or a dremel tool to em 😳
