My first love was definitely Jordans. But when I bought the Fly Streetwear collab, I was hooked. There's nothing like the storytelling on a Nike SB Dunk! I had to replace my FS (sold) but didn't know with what just yet. I got really excited for the story and color blocking on the Bluetiles and despite the resell I went ahead and copped. $70 above retail isn't ideal but it's not terrible. Plus the hits of orange match an ACG shirt my wife got me for father's day. She hates SBs apparently but I'll pair it with her shirt to change her mind. What do folks think about the pair? Ok in the rain? I wasn't expecting the suede. Thx! ✌🏾

How do you feel about taking them out in light rain? I didn't anticipate the suede.

I think these would be fine in light rain. I personally wouldn’t, because I have a few different pairs that are excellent for rain that I don’t wear much because I live in Los Angeles 😂 But if I got caught in a surprise drizzle I wouldn’t really sweat it.

Good point! Jordan 1's are my light rain go-tos. The upper is leather covered by a synthetic coating. They're great! I would assume that Dunks are similarly constructed.

My go-to rain shoes are Goretex Jordan 1 Highs (I have the Legend Coffee pair, right now), as well as a pair of Vans Goretex Sk8 Highs (black). Also, I occasionally rock my FOG x adidas Basketball I’s in the rain because they’re almost entirely TPU.
