(see book by Bobbito garcia) Second, fashion, my friends, is about moving forward and progression. Nothing has ever come out like this and this is definitely a move forward. Do you have to like them??? No, but then again, who likes EVERYTHING their favorite designer drops??? And last, if you are going try to get a pair, just know that 1) the come in a GOLD box, not the pink SB box, or the regular orange Nike box and the gold box has a sticker on it that says "WHAT THE DUNK".. Fake shoes are not cool!

Not something you wear. I know about three people that have actually bought them ( Not for the 1500 tag on it ) and they just keep them up in their house, Sort of like a piece of art. Some sneakers I have I would NEVER wear! Some sneakers are just to collect. P. Punky,

And some of us grew up outside of this little bubble they call Kuwait so we know they were hot back in the day. However those sneakers that people used to go crazy for were and are fugly. And if you like them and would like to wear them, then you can be sure that you will look silly and most of us will laugh at you. Panamaniac, we are really glad you know the history of sneakers.

Me being part of that culture, I understand why Nike made those. It's shoe made up of different shoes that were released back in the day that people went crazy for! So before you start to diss on something, make sure you understand the history behind it! Don't be so judgmental.
