Yeah the ones Reebok made, wow those are my size too. I don't want them bad enough to spend 80 bucks on them. I could've sworn they had the Orlando Magic pinstripe on them.

I don't understand all this confusion.
1. Know the original source of your shit. (In this case, it would be Japan.)
2. Go to trusted website that carries said material from said country. (stay246, notone, etc)
3. Compare.
4. Anything deviating from that is probably not legit sauce. Confirm suspicions at bapetalk.
5. Don't fake the funk, lest you like being clowned.

the only thing custom about these are the laces. other than that, those are basically a GR (General Release) colorway.
http://www.pickyourshoes.com/collectible/nike_dunk_hi_red_blk_wht.htm
you can probably find a pair on ebay in better condition. they should be priced at around retail.
you can't tell if the shoes are real or not from that picture. you should ask the seller for a clear picture of the inside tag, to see if they are legit or not.

How can you tell if a shoe is VNDS or DS?
sainthuey
02-16-2007, 11:21 PM
How can you tell if a shoe is VNDS or DS?
VNDS = slight creases, some ~ none dirt on sole, laced up means it was likely worn or tried on, any creases on the shoe.
DS = deadstock, fresh and never worn, usually un laced, clean sole with no dirt, no creases, no sock lints on the interior.

shhh...hehe.
um, yeah, they aren't worth the price tag at all. the suede gets dirty WAY too quickly, is impossible to clean (even with a suede/nubuck brush it will not get the shy pink back to the original color...) and the suede fades to an almost off white/extremely light pink. the inside of the shoes are white, so you know thats getting dirty...the soles are white, so again, you know thats getting dirty.
i'd put this shoe up there with sea crystals as far as being one of the hardest to take care of. if you have unkles, chances are you're rocking raw dark denim...so you know the dye is an issue. the edge of my tongues are kinda blue, but i cleaned them up a bit. had to clean some dye off of the flaps of the shoes as well.
overall, its still a nice shoe though. definitely my favorite pair so far, along with hunters.
and i missed you guys too.

Viotech - suede multi-colored buttery goodness.
Safari AM1 - safari print classics.
I guess it all breaks down to personal preference. Personally, I would go for the Viotechs over the AM1's. You just.. can't go wrong with suede. Also, I'm not a huge fan of orange, so that turns me away from the AM1's, even though I love the safari print. Personally, I would go for some Air Safari 87's (blue) over the AM1's.

mark beast with the dunkles & sbtg over here. I just bought a pair of dunkles for $300 from a homie. They're coo but I don't think Im' going to be keeping em. To anyone who wants pusheads hit me up, sz. 10.5. for 170 shipped, DS conditition. Luck cat lows are lookin good so far n I heard they're gonna be preety limited which I personally don't mind but sucks for people who actually really want em. n about the fallen hero pack. man that shit let me down. The milli vanillis were a must when I saw em but my friend was wearing em and they looked lik straight up trash. The suede looks hellaaaa ashy which suprised me . Pee wees look wayyyyy 2 plain (for me) n the blazers = no comment. Hopefully Sb gets they're shit together soon.
Man I won't be copping either J esp. since I cannot resell that shit. LS CG3s were hellaaa clean tho. True blue spikzs Jordan fucked em up since theyre not sticking with the sample version. BMP here I come. n to all jordan heads this is a must in your collection.

clear J's.....right
As for the flips and the fires I have no clue. Well, I'm passing on the flips, I just can't get myself to like them. I'm trying to avoid the fires for now because that''ll be another pair of fires not to mention the mars. I'll probably cop some cool greys though since i slept when they dropped. I really want to know whassup with the UNDFTD I's (the red white and blue ones) because I'm in love with those bitches right now.
i can't decide on whether or not to cop the money cat lows...at first they looked nice, but i think its because nike sb has been letting all of us down on current sb releases for the past year, pretty much (with a few exceptions). its like anything that doesn't look so plain gets a pass, and thats how i feel about the money cat lows. they might grow on me or be an impulse buy during the release month, which i hear is april.
i wasn't gonna cop hawaiis until i saw a guy in a wdywt thread on iss post a pic of him rocking them. then i copped them as soon as they released on some website. i liked them when i saw them in person. maybe the money cat lows will be the same. the hi's are garbage IMHO, though.
fire red III's are an obligatory purchase. i'm passing on all the other III's though.

This summer will be one that I will be buying wayyyy 2 much kicks thanks to 2 nice ass jobs.
man I atleast need purp avengers n tweed lows, sz. 11-12, n I'm happy but iss is soooo low on good sbs. All I fuckin see is black box sbs n new Js which gets annoying.
it seems like the buy/sell threads went to hell after they changed the rules. ebay is lacking now too...well, at least as far as what i'm looking for.
seems like more and more ppl are holding on to their sneakers than before.
@D: GOOD LUCK finding lucky's. man, those are some of the hardest sb's to find. when i'm not looking for them i can find them, when i was looking for them i couldn't.
About luckys, if you can get a sz. 12 then it is your lucky day because some dude on iss is selling a DS pair sz.12 if thats your size.
And yea everyone holding on to shoes alot more now. I'm kinda heated now that I look back cuz I could've gotten a pair of purp avengers in my size which I thought sucked at the time for 80 but passed like an idiot.
shoes i could have gotten for 250 or less:
ari menthols
pink camo bapestas (the og ones)
yo mtv puma clydes
patent avengers (either color)
tiffs
de la hi's
immediately come to mind. passed up on all of them...well the tiffs i ended up getting later, but yeah. i've learned my lesson. you can't even find ari menthols anymore. last pair i saw went for 7 something. you really dont see patent avengers for sale like that anymore either. actually everything on that list is kinda hard to find. lol.
add cement IV's to the list...they're missing the i out of the air part on the back of one of the sneakers...and they're kinda nds. oh and add OG I's to the list. i was out getting pussy when i could have been copping OG I's on the net. =/ i missed the auction. oh, add AJKO's to the list too. and here i am NOW, going through ebay looking for a decent pair of vnds-ds OG I's or ajkos.

AJKO's will cost a lot and there hard to come by
depends on the condition though. also you can find steals pretty easily with them because a lot of ppl don't know or don't care about them. i've seen some that were in vnds condition but had no box or anything, just the shoes. went for somewhere around 300ish. honestly i usually don't tell anybody about steals like that because i don't want to blow up an auction that i'm watching, lol. if a friend or somebody is looking for something and i see it, i'll tell them though.

NDS Sea Crystals - $50 - friend
Avengers - retail
VNDS Lodens - $150~ - eBay
VNDS Paul Browns - $350~ - eBay

did anybody catch those cement IVs on ebay for somewhere around 200 or under but it came with no laces, i don't think it came with a box and an "i" was missing out of the back of one of the shoes where it says nike air. they were a 9 or a 9.5...half of me wanted to cop and the other half was like i need to hold out until i find what i'm looking for...(og I's, 94 retro I's or ajko's)
=/ cement IV's. CEMENT IV's. i feel bad. =/ i was kinda scared about rocking them if i copped them which is another reason i didn't bid. wasn't sure if they would hold up. the condition was decent, though.

Hihihi: PM on how much your willing to sell either(tweeds and luckys) and how many x worn. Plus ne trades in either sbs or Jordans then jus include those in the pm.
About passing on stuff that didn't interest me at the time. I'm glad I passed on De La H i for 120 that were worn 4x because when I once had Dela I liked those shoes for a sec then started hating those soooo much. IMO, De las are overrated. F paying 300 for a shoe with flowers and peace signs.
To strengthen each others heat, we should post up shit that we see for a pretty reasonable price if were not interested in the shoes.
O n if anybody wants, I can get em white Melvins (sz. 10.5, 11.5) or black Melvins
( sz. 11.5) all DS for 12o plus shipping. I know its not really a huge deal. The price is because my friend paid 120 for each.

dunno where you got $360 but avengers dont go for that much. $250-$300 is the range. as for the viii's, the aquas arent confirmed. I pray they retro them, but we have no way of telling this early. shit, were not even done with the iii's. but hypothetically, if the grapes werent retroed, a DMP consisting of the aquas and grapes wouldve been the best thing ever. but the craziest JB release has to be the cool grey concords. people actually got robbed and killed when these released.
and $300 is alot for jeans, but then again isnt. selvedge jeans run for $300 easy. try copping some clot or neighborhood jeans. some of them joints run you $600 and up. its all on the quality of denim/stitching and the exclusivness. then theres jeans that run even higher for the rich and famous. try some nudies if you want good quality denim for a decent price.
I didnt know there were this many people on Shoryuken that were into the sneakers/streetwear. thats pretty dope. but alot of you guys seem to be overhyped on old sb's which has been a dead cause for quite some time now.

www.sneakerplay.com sup doggy. sure, Ill hit you with my dot com later today. as for the sb issue, more so than being in cali its just that some of the most hyped sb's really didnt appeal to me as much as the next hypebeast. I got them for hype reasons. but I hung onto the ones that were actually fresh to def.
oh, and the best sneaker news of the year by FAR has been confirmed. aqua viii's hittin shelves sep 22. not sure if they will be gr or ls. either way, easy two pairs for me.

BMPs are an easy pass for me. I like how Jordan Brand has enough gall to charge us $100 each for a butchered version of a shoe that originally cost $65. Come on, these "1s" are really Dunk mids with a Jumpman slapped on the back.

i agree with you there...that also gets me mad:annoy:
the retros I's that came out in 2001 costed $89.99 why does these have cost to dam much for each shoe, plus you cannot pick what color u want u have to buy both as one in the package:arazz:

Sometimes the shoes will be sold individually in outlets as B grades. It happened with the DMPs, but good luck with that.
It's not only the price that annoys me about the Is. I also don't like how JB got cheap and made them mids. The Is are high-tops. The fact that they're trying to pass off these mids as a legit retro is stupid. Like seriously, what differentiates the Is coming out this year from Dunk mids other than the Jumpman on the back, which wasn't on the OG Is to begin with?
I know people will say that high-tops are out of style, but fuck that. When you retro a shoe, you should try to make it as close to the OGs as possible. Hell, at least get the cut of the shoes right. I've let JB slide with a lot of things they changed around with their retros, but I don't like it when they completely change the cut of a retro shoe. I love the 1s, and to see it butchered completely like this pains me. The black toes are not worth this package.
And Aqua VIIIs are going to be GR. Thank god. I hate this whole LS shit.

timeout, are all the I's mids? For some reason every time I think of BMPs or any retro I coming out they're high in my head. Price is something I can deal with but if their mids they're pointless.....
god dammit...i just looked at all the pics again, I really need to cut back on my smoking. well at least I have Spizike's to look forward to. I never thought I would say that.

my uncle's shop got in the BMP's 2 weeks ago. I got them in a sz 11 if anyone wants it. cant let it go for cheap tho sorry. I personally dont like them. I just got hooked up dirty wholesale and I couldnt refuse.
alot of hardcore jordan heads actually prefer ls over gr. that way, not every kid in every town who goes to the mall has them on. hence the reason why you see countless people rockin the firereds but you only catch a handful of people with rockin grapes. although I dont care for a gr or ls release, JB is known to always have a change of mind before a release, so the aquas MIGHT get switched to a ls. they got a $140 price tag, so you never know.

Actually, true hardcore Jordan heads despise LS releases because it makes it harder for people who really want the shoes to get a pair. I'm not a hardcore guy myself, but I know quite a few, and this is the general consensus: The only people who think LS is better than GR because it's "exclusive" are hypebeasts and resellers. A true Jordan head couldn't give two shits about exclusivity and who's rocking what. He buys what he likes, whether it be OG colors, or those whack retro+ colorways.
Personally, I think LS releases are a load of shit. They give JB an excuse to overcharge for a shoe, and stores usually make you buy some of the hideous LS clothes along with a pair. And the funny thing is that aside from the Grapes, which should have been GR because they're an OG colorway, LS Jordans are nasty as hell. Why would anyone prefer this method over good old GR? So you won't be wearing the same thing as the next guy? Jesus, if you want to do that, put your shoes on ice for like, 6 months, then you'll be wearing a brand new pair, while the other clowns beat their's to death.
Rock what you like, but never give in to the hype, and by buying LS garbage, you're buying in to JB hype and giving them an excuse to continue with this bullshit.

Rock what you like, but never give in to the hype, and by buying LS garbage, you're buying in to JB hype and giving them an excuse to continue with this bullshit. youre on point to an extent. even amongst true jordan heads, there are different batches and types. LS doesnt neccessarily mean hype bro. and LS isnt for JB to make more money as opposed to a GR. if they released the grapes as a GR, Im sure JB wouldve pocketed alot more money than they did off making it a LS. the flips retailed for $135 here as a limited general release. firereds went for the same price and both sold out at an equal pace. LS or GR, if someone wants to cop a pair it really isnt that hard. I can understand what you mean in terms of LS amounting to hype. but not always. sometimes yes. if the shoe is plain ugly, the resell value is just as high or low as a GR pair of j's. and not all LS j's are nasty. also, LS doesnt always mean a new colorway and a GR doesnt always mean an OG colorway. greenbeans and stealths for example. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and Ive talked to countless Jordan heads that are opposed to LS and vice versa but I dont see how you can see the carolina or olive v's as nasty.

I forgot about the Olive Vs. Those were actually pretty nice. Okay, not all LS Jordans are ugly.
Soo, I know that GR doesn't mean OG. My point was that all OG colorways should be GR, because that's how it was back then, and that's how it always should be. Everyone should have a chance to get an OG colorway. If you really want to be exclusive that bad, go buy real OG Jordans, because JB already changed around some things about retros, like putting the Jumpman where the Nike Air logo should be. Let us old farts, who don't have the time to be waiting in line for stuff, enjoy the retroing of our OG colorways with a general release.
And the Flips were $150, dude. Where did you get them for $135? I'd love to know the store where you're buying sneakers from.

I usually cop j's from my uncle's wholesaler. we had them selling at $135+tax along with the firereds. suggested retail never applies in the hood haha. or tax for that matter.
