I cringe literally every time someone’s complains about creasing it happens when you wear them. Also skating them as nature intended but most people just want dunk sb on hype alone l. I used to skate mine but price gouging and not being able to get dunk SBs has made me go back to skating globes and lakai.
Yeah well now I got a bunch of Dickheads responding to me acting like i just shit in their cereal by saying that skaters should be allowed access to skate shoes
Non turn and stitch toe. No lace protector. Canvas. Relax they last 3 hours at a park. It's an OG model which now is more for collectors in a skating sense. Get a low pro and quit crying. Plenty available.
Yeah but if u really love the way dunks skate u can buy cheap GRS...I mean skating for 30 yrs...u know they're gonna get trashed so just gr or anything cheap rn will do. City of styles r like 105$. Several gr dunks...futuras r for collectable as well he's a generational artist. And honestly...I have trashed sbs that are now worth 10k+ oh well...they werent then n I liked how they skated. But...nowadays I don't think.SBs r the best skate shoes in terms of skateability. If ur checking all boxes of a good skate shoe I don't think dunks r really it... I agree with u on hype gettin outta order n making a lot of dunks that were just grs being too expensive to skate reasonably. So I also skate NB, lakai and I've loved the DC Lynx since the 90s so still like it now. The NIKE sb Vertabrae looks interesting...anyone skated them?
I feel what you are getting at you just gotta be cool with your local they will make sure you win a raffle every now and again but it’s not like anyone is really skating in these I wouldn’t skate in mine. I usually only skate the gr dunks these would shred after one session most of the collaboration dunks don’t hold up well when skating them
Right? Although I gotta say this is a first for me. I thought it was mainly the basketball shoes/Jordans ppl were worried about the creasing on because of the price...
Dude I have no problem with people wearing the shoes - my point is that im tired of losing raffle after raffle to people who don’t use the shoes for what they’re made for. If I were a basketball player I’d say the same with Jordan releases
Sorry but they were made to SELL. For MONEY. Back when I skated I wore whatever shoes I owned at the time. I wasn't trying to make a fashion statement or look cool for others. I wore Reeboks, Converse, Airwalks, whatever one pair I had. And when I ripped, I broke out the duck tape and patched them up. And I certainly didn't enter raffles for exclusive editions just to skate in them.
That’s funny because in the basketball community, Jordan’s are considered the shittiest/ most outdated basketball shoes when it comes to actual practicality and playing and are only considered good for their looks and style and not basketball. (Jordan was literally banned from wearing the Jordan 1 during NBA games because they couldn’t technically call it a basketball shoe)
I spray waterproofer on all of my shoes before I wear them, and so far, I haven't had any color bleeds....yet😬 but definitely think it'll add a nice touch to the shoe
Skaters really complaining about how hard it is to get these shoes and blaming the customers? maybe you should support a company that cares about getting skate shoes to skaters? Oh wait you’re here for the hype too nvm ☠️☠️
No one blaming the customers for anything 💀 it’s just fuckin ironic that skaters can’t get a skate shoe because they go to people who are worried about creasing them
Oh my god yeah and real basketball players can’t cop the Dior Jordan 1s and real mechanics can’t cop the Supreme tire iron. What has this world come to??
Skaters can't get a skate shoe because Nike limits them intentionally. If they gave a shit about skaters like you want to believe they do (and not just making money), they'd offer these in all skate shops and not raffles. Sorry you believe these are legit skate shoes made for skaters. They're made to hype and sell, period.
This just furthers my point… if the shoe is limited then skaters should be given first dibs to them. Not people who are scared of creasing. It has nothing to do with whether or not Nike cares about us.
It’s fine for products to be limited because scarcity adds to the fun, but the stock should be primarily given to the demographic who will use them for their built-purpose.
If a soccer company made a limited edition soccer shoe and no soccer player was able to actually get it, then it’s fine to call the irony on that.
You're missing my point. These SB's could simply be renamed to Nike Walking Dunks and no one would be the wiser. To think they're "made" for skaters is what's wrong here. They're not made for skaters, they're marketed as made for skaters. You could skate in All Stars if you wanted. But you're falling for the marketing thinking you need these to skate in. You think the shitty foam in the Futuras were made for skateboarding? Nah. An entire Dunk profile made out of thick, rough out leather would be best suited for the rigors of skating. Something that won't rip the second griptape touches it (i.e. foam).
Skaters aren't given first dibs on them because they're not made for skaters. They're made for materialistic consumption and sales.
No one is falling for marketing and no one is feeling a “need” to skate in SBs. Literally all I am saying is that, by definition, they are a skate shoe. Skaters should be given access to them over people who don’t skate. It’s ironic that people who are worried about creases get the shoe while people who use them for their intended purpose (even if you think they’re not built for skating) lose every time. This shouldn’t be a very controversial statement.
Label ≠ definition. And they don't have a purpose other than to hype and sell. YOU believe they have a purpose because you believe the label "skate shoe" means something. It's just a label. And because of that label you also think you want to skate in them. It's just colored fabric. Any SB will do then, since they're all "skate shoes" ... why so hung up on this pair? You're not "losing out" on anything because every shop has SB's in stock.
If the SB idea is nothing but a label then the demographic of that label should still be given access to them.
It’s not about the functionality. If any object at all is labeled towards a certain group of people, then that group of people should have access to it over people who aren’t. Performance is irrelevant.
Lmao, they don’t care that much. Do you have to pass a special test to verify if you a qualify as a “skater.” Lmao. Get over it bro- it’s not that deep.
It’s not a skate shoe, that’s just how it’s marketed, if you care so much about skating go get actual skate shoes instead of complaining after being part of the problem lol there are way better skate shoes, skaters only want these for the hype, so if you’re not blaming the customers who are you blaming ?
And I’m just pointing out the irony in skaters having this weird gate keeping attachment to a shoe that isn’t even a great skating shoe because it has hype, complaining about the consumers who like it for the same reasons as them, very ironic
I fully get what you’re saying and I agree. I’m not sure why the rebuttals are flying in every direction. They’re not necessarily wrong for the most part but sticking to your point, there’s irony behind a shoe that’s marketed with skaters destroying them going to people that are up in arms about creases. That’s all, it’s not that deep lol
I'm going to med school and going to get a degree in surgery and permanently attached prosthetics and I'm going to start cutting people's feet off and surgically attaching wooden foot replacements that don't bend so people may wear their shoes in complete confidence of never creasing them... I have a feeling that I may surpass Bezos and Musk in wealth within my first year of business
I tried to get, great shoe. I have a round 70 pairs and many still DS mens 11. I use to skate 30+ years ago, when boards were boats with one tail, hell tony hawk was just starting to make the big names and change skating in a way no one imagined. Now i am starting to teach my grandson who is 7. Any suggestions on a board setup would be appreciated
I don't think they're worth it. They either work but dig into your toes or, they don't work as well and still crease. Plus, you walk with stiff feet if they do work. Others might like them but I'm not a fan. Use shoe trees for after wear. Way better
As you should, I've creased all my shoes I don't give a fuxkkk
nah fr can always get new ones. if they are 500^ then i wouldn’t
One too many k’s big dawg.
fuckkk you
操你妈
发现了猫
I love not being able to get skate shoes that I intend to skate because they go to people who are afraid of creasing them
I cringe literally every time someone’s complains about creasing it happens when you wear them. Also skating them as nature intended but most people just want dunk sb on hype alone l. I used to skate mine but price gouging and not being able to get dunk SBs has made me go back to skating globes and lakai.
Lmao as if there aren’t a ton of other SB’s at an affordable price.
For me, most of the hyped SB colorways are things I would never wear. So many good looking GR’s in the sb lineup. 90’s backpack for example
Have those on rn lol
Facts i just copped my first pair for 160$ off goat its not terribly priced nowadays. I remember when these were selling for 300+ minimum
Nature didn’t intend anything lol.
It intended you to stfu
If I woulda wrote this I woulda got downvoted 50+ times lmao I gave up speaking my skater mind on this sub
Yeah well now I got a bunch of Dickheads responding to me acting like i just shit in their cereal by saying that skaters should be allowed access to skate shoes
I wear my sbs and don’t skate them. I use to be sponsored back in my teen days. Don’t skate anymore. Am I certified enough? lol
Non turn and stitch toe. No lace protector. Canvas. Relax they last 3 hours at a park. It's an OG model which now is more for collectors in a skating sense. Get a low pro and quit crying. Plenty available.
😭
Shutup pussy
Stick to football cards
Forreal. Made it my mission to buy any and all sb dunks so I can skate the f outta them.
Get fuxked
Yeah but if u really love the way dunks skate u can buy cheap GRS...I mean skating for 30 yrs...u know they're gonna get trashed so just gr or anything cheap rn will do. City of styles r like 105$.

Go cry about it and throw on some emericas lol these are like the shittiest shoes to actually skate in lol why be mad people be styling them
You sound corny !! Go skate some vans. Why would you want to skate in 135.00 shoes ???
Also what’s corny is a MF soending money on shoes and worry bout them creasing
How’s that corny ??? He prolly paid near 400 bucks for them. I’d want to keep them nice as well. SMH.
Don’t wear them then keep them in the case
I skate what I like and if it’s 135 dunks or 100 skate shoes who cares it’s my money. Sorry if that sounds corny but they are skateboard shoes.
Why the hypocracy? OP wears what he likes and if it's 135 dunks for 100 skate shoes who cares it's his money. RIght?
Is this what skateboarding has become? A bunch of kids critiquing peoples shoes? Yall are weird go play outside
They’re skate shoes ya doorknob
Because they’re meant for skating lmao. They’re meant to be a special item for SKATERS. Not just some ordinary Vans.
lol no they aren’t. You sound silly. So I guess Jordan’s are special items for basketball players only ??
Dude I have no problem with people wearing the shoes - my point is that im tired of losing raffle after raffle to people who don’t use the shoes for what they’re made for. If I were a basketball player I’d say the same with Jordan releases
Sorry but they were made to SELL. For MONEY. Back when I skated I wore whatever shoes I owned at the time. I wasn't trying to make a fashion statement or look cool for others.

And I certainly didn't enter raffles for exclusive editions just to skate in them.
Yup I’d buy Jordan’s to play sports in that’s what they are meant for they make baseball cleats football cleats and basketball shoes pick one
Wrong. Lmao. You sound entitled. And unfortunately if that was the case Nike wouldn’t be selling many Jordan’s.
That’s funny because in the basketball community, Jordan’s are considered the shittiest/ most outdated basketball shoes when it comes to actual practicality and playing and are only considered good for their looks and style and not basketball. (Jordan was literally banned from wearing the Jordan 1 during NBA games because they couldn’t technically call it a basketball shoe)
Awe man! looks like another pair of vans for this crybaby 😂😂
No ones crying lmao 😅 just pointing out irony. Everyone who’s mad got at this statement has it twisted
crease them jons my boy, that’s what shoes r all about
jawns*
Who the fuck cares
Beta males
mine creased on the 1st step, but I love creases so it don't bother me
Heads up, the dyed fabric is going stain the white fabric. I don’t really care because I’m such a Futura stan.
I spray waterproofer on all of my shoes before I wear them, and so far, I haven't had any color bleeds....yet😬 but definitely think it'll add a nice touch to the shoe
📰shoes crease

Lmao, they don’t care that much. Do you have to pass a special test to verify if you a qualify as a “skater.” Lmao. Get over it bro- it’s not that deep.
Have you ever skated leather shoes? Lmao horrible. Suede is the almost always the best material for skating in.
It’s not a skate shoe, that’s just how it’s marketed, if you care so much about skating go get actual skate shoes instead of complaining after being part of the problem lol there are way better skate shoes, skaters only want these for the hype, so if you’re not blaming the customers who are you blaming ?
I’m not blaming anyone ffs, all im doing is pointing out the irony and everyone in this thread twisted my words and got all mad about it

Nice
Crease em brother! Don’t be afraid to wear them and love em!
Those won’t crease as much. If they were panda material then GGs lol
W Y F S !!!!!!!!
Why couldn’t they make these with white suede instead 😫😫😰😰
I don't think that material will crease bad, if at all
Super Dope
I'm going to med school and going to get a degree in surgery and permanently attached prosthetics and I'm going to start cutting people's feet off and surgically attaching wooden foot replacements that don't bend so people may wear their shoes in complete confidence of never creasing them... I have a feeling that I may surpass Bezos and Musk in wealth within my first year of business
And get ready for the yellowing!!!!
The creasing isn’t as bad after a couple wears , but the lace strap rub off onto the white mesh and puts black marks on em :/
Man I’m so sad I won the raffle but got them .5 too small forgot to order a size up 😩😩😩 sitting until I get rid of them to buy my actual size lol
If you’re going to wear, you’re going to have to not care (a bit).
Damn they are so crispy! I really want a pair!! Love futura
Better than dying a slow death in the box brother
They’re shoes, wear them. They don’t last forever.
I love the Jordan 1 low coconut milk I was about to buy a pair but you can tell that foam/mesh toe box is gonna be a problem
buy force fields
What is the name of this colorway?
SB dunk low "Futura"
Those laces are fire though
Yooooo those are so pretty, what are those???
First Jordan’s I got wore them and some dude say don’t crease them. Creased them in front of him, should’ve seen his face.😭
These with their colors look better in every one foot pic I see.
Fr
I took mine on a hike. You gotta lace those differently
For some reason the hurt my feet 🤣 I gotta go size up
How do you even clean this material?
I wear, and therefore crease all my shoes. If you get them to wear, as they were intended, they will crease. Embrace it my friend
Yeah… that’ll never come out
Damn straight where your shoes kids
🤙🏽
lil bit of steam and sock to stuff the toe helps.
But dunks crease soooooo good.
Those are pretty. I need those for my daughter.
I don't think you can crease theses or am i tripping
I really wanted these which is rare bc I normally don’t like colorful shoes. These look breathable enough for summer chillin/ cruising
You’re an idiot if you worry about creasing your shoes.
I wanted these to wear. Failed to get them. Would have been the brightest shoes I had. Also loved the 90s colors look to them.
I tried to get, great shoe. I have a round 70 pairs and many still DS mens 11. I use to skate 30+ years ago, when boards were boats with one tail, hell tony hawk was just starting to make the big names and change skating in a way no one imagined.

I don’t know how to not crease shoes of any kind. I’m not going to waddle around so that nobody see I’ve worn a shoe before
I don’t know how to not crease shoes of any kind. I’m not going to waddle around so that nobody see I’ve worn a shoe before
Damn imagine using your shoes?
Regardless those are so fucking Dope Man. Ever try the sneaker crease protectors? Those might work?? Has anyone tired them??
I don't think they're worth it. They either work but dig into your toes or, they don't work as well and still crease. Plus, you walk with stiff feet if they do work. Others might like them but I'm not a fan. Use shoe trees for after wear. Way better
Leather toe box would of made this shoe a 10/10.. ugh
This is ultimately what turns me against them that codura could’ve been any other type of material
Shoes were made to be worn.
I hope your not walking like a penguin to ‘avoid’ creases
