The Nike SB AF1 Ben-G
Took a few hours of travelling, but well worth it. Loved meeting other people in the community while being at the shop.
Who else going for the city pack?

Happy Dunktober

I finally unboxed Ink, completing the pack alongside Ocean Fog and Camper Green. Ink is easily the most vibrant of the three in hand. Gorgeous? Absolutely. My favorite? I still can’t pick one.

When I started buying this pack, I figured I’d finish with a clear winner and enough critiques to bring those insane resale prices back down to earth. Instead, I’m sitting here with three pairs, no winner, and very little to complain about.

These are the best quality Nike SBs I’ve ever had in hand, and it’s not even close. Materials, construction, execution, attention to detail — it’s all there.

I’ve owned plenty of SBs with REALLY nice materials. What separates these is how carefully those materials are put together. On my pairs, I couldn’t find a single glue stain where the upper meets the sole. There's extra stitching where sock liner meets the eyelets. The material cuts are straight and clean. The little finishing details that get overlooked on otherwise premium sneakers actually feel finished here.

You don’t need to have opened hundreds of sneaker boxes to appreciate them, but doing that makes you notice how many opportunities there are to fuck something up.

The colors and blocking do the heavy lifting here. Each pair is striking, but there’s a quiet confidence to them. They remind me of a sleeper dad SUV pushing 600 horsepower at the wheels. No giant spoiler, no spinning rims. Then you get close, hear the exhaust, and realize somebody put serious work into that thing.

That’s this pack. Understated from a distance. Ridiculous up close.

There’s no elaborate concept carrying the shoe, and the Supreme branding doesn’t overpower it. Beautiful colors, incredible materials, and construction that lets both shine. Give me those things first, art and storytelling are just a bonus.

Supreme surprised me here. I associate the brand with flash, but these feel like all substance.

In hand they’re sick best AF1 SB imo.

I liked this pair w/ the blue laces more at first but Black is the way to go I think

Was looking for a pair of SB AF1 in a size 10 the shop didn’t have any but they sold me a sample for $60

Bringing these out for today

What do you all think? Took the laces from the Dirty Barts. I think it looks good but can’t decide if I’ll keep it. I wish it matched perfectly lol.

Select dunks with one-off sizes

I have the Parra for years, the white got so grey and stained and one time I walked in pouring rain, the white got pink because the under layer color spread inside all layers. It was about time to make them beautiful again. Did clean an another pair too. How often do you clean your pair and what products do you use or which technique?
