This is what to expect for '21 dunks. Plastic "leather" and 0 QC. Honestly might be the worst quality Nikes I've ever handled.

Yea those and I'm going to pick up the UNLV's...I like the B&W pair too but I already have the black and white AJ1's from 2014 so I'm not that worried about those.

That's exactly why I'm picking up the black and white pair. I don't have the 2014 1's. I can't wait to get my hands on the UNLV's.

Spartan Greens were on of the worst Nikes I ever had in hand. And I had 8 pairs of Spartan greens and all were really bad quality so it is not just a few pairs. Even syracuse and red lows were bad. Basically all basic dunks are really poor quality. On the other side Strangelove SB Dunks were probably the nicest Nike sneaker in 2020 talking quality...

The vast grey are an obvious step down from those in quality.

Don't think anyone is expecting good quality from in-line Nikes but this level is simply unacceptable.

I just watched YouTube videos on the UNLV’s and B/W’s and first of al they’re not “SP”so the quality is not as nice as the Kentucky’s and Syracuse pairs. So for me it will be retail or bust....sounds like there will be a lot of them!

First time in the thread, and first ever attempt at a cross-post quote. Wish me luck... ?

Nike Air Tech Challenge (Agassi) retros that I had modded with a patch which I'd salvaged from the innards of a vintage windbreaker, plus a laces swap. Personally pretty happy with how they turned out! (Issey socks, *that other* Barrett pants, Valentino scuba / leather pocket sweatshirt, *Zam* B. leather mask up top)
