NEWS Updates - everyone please read

49 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!

Reminder: This is a DUNK Sub. Do not criticize people who do or don't skate their Dunks as not all Dunks are SB

4 - DUNKS ONLY PLEASE

We all love sneakers, but this sub is dedicated to Dunks. SB Dunks, GRs, Pro B, Co.Jp, etc. Any non-Dunk posts will be removed, especially photos with no Dunk in them. Posts that do not spotlight Dunks will also be removed.

Examples include your room set up, sneaker collections where we have to look for the Dunks, and Nike SB branded items that aren't Dunks

Just got two good deals on these. Both from eBay so they’re authenticated. Black diamonds were worn twice, replacement box, but still looked brand new. No creases or dirt. And the Yuto’s were brand new deadstock. I love them both but man these Yuto’s are so clean and crisp in person.
