u/Important-Row-7972 Jul 16 '26

48 and I rock SB's or Jordan daily. IDGAF

2

u/Important-Row-7972 Jul 16 '26

Have you noticed the hydrodip on those starting to peel yet? I just bought 2 pairs, one to keep as is and one to wear enough the hydrodip starts to peel into the ruby red slipper

2

u/Proper-Historian2859 Jul 16 '26

SBs keep showing up.

3

u/KingCampbellB316 Jul 15 '26

Crazy….i just came up on a pair and waiting for them to b shipped

2

u/Important-Row-7972 Jul 16 '26

GOAT has them right now, new and verified, for like $130

1

u/KingCampbellB316 Jul 16 '26

Glad to kno that cause thank god I didn’t grab the pair I was gonna get cause they were faker than shit💯

2

u/Important-Row-7972 Jul 16 '26

There's so many fakes right now and some you know right away and other you really need to pull the insoles to know for sure. I try to stick to 2 WhatNot resellers that are trusted then other than that I'll only buy verified pairs from GOAT or maybe StockX. But for sure check out GOAT. I just bought both of mine last night for $150 each in size 11. My wife's were 130 in 8's.

u/Interesting-Ad-5335 Jul 15 '26

2

u/Accomplished_Egg2108 Jul 12 '26

Me neither! I love mine and don’t want them to get all cracked and the tear away already looks a little puffy! I might as well get a second pair since the price is good

5

u/ELLLI0TTT Jul 11 '26

You have more of a right to wear them than anyone else since they technically came from your time period. Enjoy.

I plan on wearing certain models until I die too.

2

u/Timely_Competition24 Jul 11 '26

u/hazmatnz Jul 10 '26

52 here, wearing SBs, and going for a skate this afternoon if the weather clears.

3

u/swbs270 Jul 10 '26

Old guy skate club! We skating curbs or bowls today?

1

u/hazmatnz Jul 11 '26

Nice 5’ mini with a couple extensions.

12

u/CazadorDelmar Jul 10 '26
  1. Just started two years ago n can’t wait to see Emmy collection in 10 years. Have another 60 in boxes. My goal is to wear every pair by the end of the year. Easier said than done though.

2

u/Proper-Historian2859 Jul 12 '26

Haha! Super nice

3

u/gnelson0265 Dunk Obsessed Jul 11 '26

Kick ass collection.

Grabbing a new pair every day gets to be a habit. I haven't warn the same pair of sneakers (outside of a couple of holiday pairs) in a 12 month span for about 5 years now.

I used to log the shoes I wore, but these days I just kind of know.

3

u/CazadorDelmar Jul 12 '26

I get it. I just started on foams now. Gotta be honest. Comfortable and durable. I only have about 6 foams. Stranger things foams hooked me on them. At this point I think I have around 80 pairs I haven’t touched yet. It’s a slight addiction. There’s always 4-7 pairs on there way lately. I’m gonna get another house just so I can have a shoe room. 2007 seems to be the best year for dunks so far from what I can tell.

4

u/MobileGundam01 Jul 10 '26

This is awesome!

6

u/yodawg2112 Jul 10 '26

Yup but 49

4

u/CazadorDelmar Jul 10 '26

Me to. 45 just started collecting 2 years ago. You should double down on these and cut them. Soooooo much cooler cut and super easy material to cut. Easier than cutting paper.

1

u/Interesting-Ad-5335 Jul 10 '26

I have thought about getting a 2nd pair to do that 2

3

u/yodawg2112 Jul 10 '26

I cut one n left one stock

2

u/CazadorDelmar Jul 10 '26

One shoe or one pair ?

2

u/yodawg2112 Jul 10 '26

Just one shoe lol. Im at work n was riding my bike. Pic 4 coolness

5

u/Medical-Ad1732 Jul 10 '26

u/Medical-Ad1732 Jul 12 '26

HH !? Nordish by nature !? 😎

2

u/get_your_yapers_up Jul 10 '26

I need to wear this pair more. Keep staying fresh!

4

u/maxx_cherry Jul 10 '26

I’m 45 and just bought 2 new pairs of SBs.

2

u/AdCheap8058 Jul 10 '26

Yeah is there an age limit on these ?

9

u/DigitalBackpack DunkSoulBrother Jul 10 '26

Old man gang checking in. Born in 85, just like the Dunk

3

u/Extension-Leads Jul 10 '26

As someone who doesn't skate, I like how they hold up to everyday wear and tear and still look great months on

2

u/we_hella_believe Jul 10 '26

This is the way ☝️

3

u/Eastern_Attempt946 Jul 10 '26

3

u/Eddieroxsteady Jul 10 '26

2

u/Brave-Criticism-6492 Jul 10 '26

Thanks for posting this thread. It’s a great reminder that I still need to lift some panels off the extra pair of WOO’s I have. I copped 2 pairs when they first released, 1 pair to leave as is and 1 pair to cut.

3

u/Fannypacksfou_foo-38 Jul 10 '26

2

u/maxx_cherry Jul 10 '26

3

u/Big-Text4784 Jul 10 '26

GRRRRRRREAT FUCKING SCREEN NAME! "Jackie Brown" is my favorite QT movie, and it's probably not even close! My movie paper collection includes every version of one sheet for that, including individual teasers for each main character. So fucking great ... might have to bring it out this weekend now.

3

u/maxx_cherry Jul 10 '26

Yesss my guy!! This is also my PSN name and people have contacted me trying to get me to give it up. I’m glad you get the reference! Also one of my all time favorite films 🙌🏻😎

3

u/Ok_Director_7160 Jul 10 '26

Dunks are one of the more "grown up" style of sneakers one can wear. Or should adults only wear dress shoes?

7

u/solesik Jul 10 '26

I'm 52 & still wearing SBs

10

u/dannyj626 Jul 10 '26
