I only have 1 pair of sneakers right now, a pair of red/yellow Nike SB.

I've been moving away from sneakers in favor of buying more boots and dress shoes.

Ive got Vans(Maiden Sk8his), Jack Purcells, Chucks, and Asic Tigers in my closet.

I am also trying to incorporate more shoes and less sneakers into my garb.

alot of people like dunks and AF1s, even if I don't personally.

Having said that, I don't mind Nike SB Dunk Lows since they're decently functional for skating and aren't as large and clunky as most other skate shoes are, so it's like a compromise.

If you're going to do market research at least try to make it less obvious. Try looking throught the "What are you wearing now thread" in the Streetwear forum.

I doubt it, its such a classic shoe. I thought it was one of those styles that they never discontinue? I love my pair, and wouldn't mind picking up another.
