Episode 32 - Top 50 Nike Dunks Of All Time

if you don't like sbs, just leave right now. It's cool and I'm just kidding. But um, even if you don't like s bes, just hear me out. Let's let's talk for a little bit. So, if you don't live under a rock, you know that sps are like the biggest shoe right now. Everyone's obsessed with them. Um, I mean sbs and dunks, um everybody. That's all anybody wants to wear. Like that's the only thing that's selling out. I mean, it's not the only thing that's selling out.

I don't want to say that, but um, it's definitely like the hottest shoe right now that silhouette is like for sure the hottest shoe, so I kind of wanted to go through a list. I actually found this really cool article on High snob. It is the fifty most influential Nike dunks in history. So I haven't been a Nike dunkhead since the day I was born. Um, I was born. Like some people think that the only way for you to be into dunks is if you were born in um, the late eighties, but I mean, I

beg to differ. So today we're gonna be going through this list, and I want to kind of give my two cents on some of these shoes because actually a lot of these shoes I own, slash really want really bad. So let's uh kind of go through this article and just hear me out. I'm gonna give my opinion on some of these shoes and kind of like where I feel like the dunk slash as b craze is going to go. So a lot of these are gonna are going to be older, um, so a lot of these

are gonna have like really cool stories behind them. So let's let's uh jump into it without further ado. So the number fifty UM on the fifty most influential Nike dunks in history is the Nike sp dunk low CALLI so those of you who haven't seen it before. Basically what it is is it's a white and brown upper with a little red star um towards the sock liner, with a green mid sole and a red outsol. I

don't know if my sneaker grammar is correct. Um Seth Fowler would probably need to help me out with this one, but for the most part, I think I think that's what it is, and has brown laces and a brown sack liner. I think that these shoes are fire now. Growing up in California, obviously, you know there is some sort of a sentimental value behind this shoe. I've actually always wanted it and I haven't been able to find

one in my size. It's been hasn't been easy. So um, they're going for about like a thousands now, so they jumped up a lot. I wish I was able to buy them earlier, but your boy's gonna take another l But basically, the significance behind the shoe, according to High Snob is Californian surfers were the ones that brought us skating, so it's only right that the Golden States flag was commemorated with a dunk. That's interesting. So they're saying that

people from California it started skating because of surfing. I don't know the story behind that exactly, but I think this is a fire shoe. So I'm surprised that that's number fifty, Like, I don't know. There must be some crazy bangers on here. So next one number is an KSP dunk low Bison. I love this color way. There's another shoe that I don't have that I want really bad, and um, how much are there going for? Now? Dude? I got an offer for these for five Okay, great,

so I want to buy them now, lows ask. So that's fun. And basically what it is, it's a so the top of the shoe is all suede, the fronts red, the middle section in the swoosh is like a dark brown, and the back section is a lighter brown, like kind of like the Travis Scott Jordan one brown vibes, And um, I'm pretty sure they're brown. Are they black? I don't know.

I think it's a dark brown, I'm not sure. And then the midsole looks black to me, and then the bottom looks like kind of like a dirtier gum gun bottom. I think these are fires. So these came out in two thousand and three. Um, one of my good friends actually, um Mada. Shout out Mata if you're listening to this. He he wore these. He's the first person I ever saw wearing these, So shout out to Mata. He definitely UM showed me those shoes. I think I thought they

were really sick. I haven't been able to really find a pair in my size, but super Flames and these came out of March two thousand three. The Bison was one of the first dunks to arrive in the new silver and black box of that era. It featured an all suede upper and rare brown slash gum split soul um. So well, it's I guess, one of the first dunks to be in the silver silver box era. So that's that's pretty cool. Um. A lot of the dunks you can tell like how old they are according to the

color of the box and also how how faded the boxes. Um, but yeah, that's super cool. I really really like those. So moving on number forty eight, The soul Land Times and niksp Dunk High Friday Part two. I don't know if I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I've actually never heard of this shoe, never seen it before. Oh well, it's actually a recent shoe. Came out three years ago, December two, And since I know nothing of it, let's just read the significance that high Stop set, the second

part of Solon's ongoing collaboration with Nanki has by. This more contemporary pair featured a mini swoosh over the regular swish, as well as premium materials. Honestly, I'm not that crazy about this shoe. Um, I probably wouldn't put this in my top fifty. Last sales about three hundreds, so I guess they're not going for that much money. But I don't know. I'm not that crazy about it. So let's move on. Next one. Nike SB Dunk Hi Paul Brown. Okay,

now this is an o G dunk. This one came out in two two, and this Paul Brown Dunk was Nikes Nike Hasb's first ever high and became a hit thanks to its muted earth tones. So that's crazy. I didn't know that that's crazy. So it was Nike as he's ever high. Wow, So I think before like there are highs that are before two and two, but those were considered dunk, So I guess this is an actual sp high UM, which is interesting because pretty much every skater that I talked to says that they hate UM

skating in high tops. So it's funny, like I've seen some samples of like some Supreme dunks at Project Blitz Shout Out Blitz and a few others UM like samples floating around where people were like skaters will literally cut off the top of the shoe to make it kind of like a low top and um, I don't know if that makes it more expensive or less because it is a sample, but it is messed up. Well, I don't know, it's it's interesting. So these are super fire and see how much these ones go for. It is

an older shoe and it's not that hyped. Oh wow, last sale was so that's pretty great. But there's only one sale, so I don't know next one. So the night he has to be dunk high Sea Crystal. Now these are pretty fire, not necessarily my favorite color. UM. I don't know if I would rock these. I definitely respect UM the significance of the shoe, and the Nike dunk Hi was inspired by godfather. This Nike Dunkai was

inspired by the Godfather of NIKESB. Sandy Bowdecker and the washed out sea glass he used to collect as a child on the beaches of Connecticut. Literally that the significance little snippet made me like the shoes so much more because it's so cool, like the fact that it has a story like that that he used to just collect um sea glass And for those of you don't know, sea glasses like it just glass that ends up going in the ocean and over time it gets rounded and

turns into these like really cool pebbles. So dope like that, that's so sick. I didn't know that. I just thought it was like a weird colored tripe honestly, And um, well, that's so cool. That's so cool. So these ones came out in two thousand and four, and they were inspired by the Godfather of NIKSB Sandy Bowdecker. So shout out, Shout out, Sandy, Rest in peace. Next is the Nike has B Dunklow Shanghai one and two. So these ones came out in two thousand four and two thousand and five.

The first Shanghai Dunklow was mostly an Asian exclusive and was inspired by the temples of Shanghai. The second color way was inspired by traditional bamboo steamer. Um, let's see these Johnson's. So the last sale and these guys was like six dred but I mean the highest been right now is seven hundred. So I've seen these shoes before.

I'm not that crazy about them, to be honest. I like the tones and it kind of is giving me a little bit of cause slash coraline dunk vibes with those without like stitching, and and it is inspired by like a Shanghai temple. So um, I think they're cool, like you know, the mid section in the front, like the toe boxes, it's like the hemp kind of vibes. Um. I'm surprised I haven't seen Travis wearing these because they're

very his look. So number forty four, the next shoe, we have, the Nike SB dunk Hi Cheech and Chong. Now I think that these shoes are actually super dope. These came out in two thousand and eleven and they took direct inspiration from Chi Cheech and Chong America's first iconic stoners. So I personally don't smoke. Um, I have a lot of friends who do. I've never smoked rety before. I'm probably one of the only people in California who

has ever smoked. Surprisingly, I have my own like personal reasons, but I don't judge for people. I don't judge people who do. I don't know. It's a long story and sorry, I'll probably get into some other time. But anyway, Um, so these are the cheech and chunks and um, it's what it's really cool about these shoes is actually when you skate in them, or I mean, you could just get like a nail filer or sandpaper or something and

you just rub off like the white material. And know, for those of you guys who are listening, I haven't seen this. Um honestly, you guys should be following along. Guys. Um, it's a If you search Hyson a bid the best Nike dunks of all Time, you'll find the article and you'll see what I'm talking about. You guys can follow

along if you want. But anyway, it's mostly a white upper with like a yellow gum sole and the back is red and one of the shoes hasn't been Danna print on it or Paisley, and I think it's super fire. And underneath, basically when you when you rub the shoe down, um, it looks like weed. So it's like green on the inside. Um. I've seen a few people take lighters and like kind of burn it, so so they burned the top off and then like it's like the weed under and it's

like burnt. It looks really cool. Um. Since I don't smoke weed, I probably wouldn't do that. I just think that the silhouette of the shoe is sick, and I'm sorry, I think that the color way of the shoe is sick. And I love the corduroy and the Baisley print. I think it's so fire. But these shoes came out in two thousand and eleven. Um, I don't know how much they're going for now. I think that I think they're

about like a thousand dollars now if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, less sale was a thousand, So yeah, they're pretty fire shoes. So wow, So we got a really new shoe on the list. Number forty three is the Strange Love Skateboard Skateboards Time Snakey hasp Dunklos. So these are the Strange Loves. Now this shoe is insane. Yeah, I mean, let's read the significance first. Another contemporary release. Another contemporary really, this time by the way of Sean Cliver and a Strange

Love skateboarding company. This particular pair of celebrated Valentine's Day with a lot of plush pink paneling. Wow, that is a alliteration for sure, plush pink paneling. And um, I think that these shoes are dope. And the crazy thing about this shoe was that pre release it was going for like three dollars and now it's going for a

thousand dollars. So you could have bought these before they came out flexed on everybody because you had a hashtag team early look at me looking ass and and you still could have made money on these shoes, which is crazy to me. I I just I just can't believe it. I can't believe they're going for this much. I don't know what exactly drove the price up so much, but

they're pretty fire. Um. I do have a pair of these, So this is one of the first shoes on this list that I actually have, and I do have a pair of these because they're newer. Okay, cut me some slack anyway. So next shoe is the Travis Scott times Nankee as to be dunk Low. So these actually came back, came out the same time as the Strangeloves, and Travis Scott is a huge fan of nkesps and his Nike's most marketable asset finally got a chance to give the

dunk Low his own spin. So um so Travis, honestly, I think he killed this shoe. I think it's fire. I love the Paisley print as I mentioned before, kind of like with the Cheech and Chong, like the cool like little flannel print and he's a big flannel guy. Um. And then he has his own print like the Cactus Jack records. And then much like the Cheech and Chong's actually um, when you peel off the Paisley, it reveals like a different print underneath. It's like an elephant slash

like Cactus Jack. I don't know, like some people are calling an elephant. It looks more like like lightning bolts to me. But yeah, fire shoe. I genuinely actually really liked the shoe. I have two pairs. Um, I see this as a shoe that's definitely gonna stick around, and I think it's gonna go up in my opinion. Let's see how much of these Johnson's are going for now. Wow, so last sale was six I actually um got one pair from Blitz. I think I paid a thousand for them.

I think that's how much they were going for at the time. But yeah, that's crazy that they're growing up that much. Okay, So the next shoe we have on the list are the com De Garson Times Nike Duncai. Now let me tell you, guys a story about the shoe. So, um, they came out in February seventeen. So I guess I was in London, like towards the end of two seventeen, um or I don't know exactly when I was there, but um, this shoe was sitting on the clearance rack.

I should you know. I was in self Ridges, you know, sitting on the clearance rack, and it was like I think it was like sixty nine pounds or like seventy pounds or whatever, and like, um, yeah, six nine Come on, guys, that jokes with the boys. But anyway, um, wow, that was awful. So I saw these sitting on the shelf, which I saw them and at the time I wasn't I was I didn't get into SBS quite yet. UM. I kind of got introduced to them in two thousand

and eighteen UM from my friend Andre and Uh. I remember seeing them and I'm like, oh, these are actually kind of cool. Should I buy them? And I didn't end up getting them, and I totally regret it now. But UM, I think they're actually really sick. UM. At the time, I guess they were sitting on the clearance right nobody wanted them. But it's crazy crazy um. And

let's read the significance. It's not often a high end brand like com To garson Um collaborates on a dunk let alone swaps out the upper for clear material, which is why this Dunkhi is so significant. Fire the new um C d G dunks that just came out, like the women's ones, fire I have, I have the all overprint. I want to get like the regular ones too, super fire again kind of like translucent and like super thin.

I'm a big fan. So next show on the list is the Nike s B Dunklow colors by Molder, and the significance is Richard Mulder's colors by Dunklow was a nod to his Los Angeleino roots and took on a simple and white and blue colorway. So these came out in two thousand and two. I've seen these before. UM, I definitely don't have a pair of these. They're cool. Um last sale was around like five fifty dollars, so you know, I like them. I think they're cool, like

super plain and simple. But I don't think I'd spent five dollars on a shoe that's like this simple, you know what I mean. Um, I definitely respect the um background story. So the next shoe, it's unlike, he has to be Dunkhi Heaven's Gate? Who is this really based off? Of? Like that cult? This pair's color scheme is inspired by the Heaven's Gate cult and the black and purple cloths found at the site of their mass suicide. This was found to be in bad taste by the higher upset Nike,

and the release was scrapped, making any remaining bears very rare. Wow, dude, that is crazy. I didn't even know these existed. Dude, that is so crazy. I bet these are like impossible to find. But dude, that's crazy, Like, oh my, okay, that makes so much more sense now. I mean, for those of you who don't know it was, Heaven's Gate was basically a cult I think in San Diego, and this crazy dude UM like their cult leader convinced. I think it was like forty people to kill themselves or

thirty people something like that at the same time. And they all wore black cortez is and they had purple blankets on like when they killed themselves. Super weird, very eerie, very creepy. Definitely freaks me out. But this shoe is crazy.

I'm surprised I haven't seen Little Ouzie wearing these, or maybe he has, I don't know, Like I thought that a Little Ouzy would be all over these, especially since that um the original album cover for Eternal Take was actually based off of Heaven's Gate and then he actually actually got sued for that by Heaven's Gate. And I can't believe Heaven's Gate still has representatives Like that blows

my mind. But that's crazy. I didn't even know the shoe existed, so um, I can't even find a price on it, Like they're only listed on Goating but there's like no pairs used or or brand new. Crazy. So the next two was the n QSP Dunklo ray Gun. I actually do have a pair of these, and I have, um the two kind of retro versions that they did, and um, I have the o G. I wore mine quite a bit actually, and they haven't fallen apart yet, so thinker's across that they don't. But um, so the

release date was in February. Those are the very first shoe to feature the NIKESB logo on the tongue. The Yen and Yang color ways were created as a nod to the fictional A b A basketball team named the Roswell ray Guns, which was the protagonist of a Nike marketing campaign. So, um, there is a black and a white version. I have the black version. I don't have the white version. I have the white version, and like the Tai Dai version that came out. I love this show.

I think it's so fire right now they have like the black one listed, I mean they have a picture of the black one. Um, I think the black one is cooler than the white one personally. So the black ones like the home and then the white ones the away colors technically, but um super iconic super six shoe. The logo that's on the heel is so dope. This is super super dope. Um, you guys should definitely check that out. So the next one on the say is the Nike s B Dunklow MEDICALM and uh so this

is the the Nike SB Dunklow Meticom one. So, um, this came out and like two thousand and four. And for those of you who don't know what the medic Common is, Meticom is the company that makes bare bricks. So the collaboration between MEDICALM and NIKESB was only offered to register to METICALM members and was the first dunks B to feature a double layered swoosh. So if you guys are following along, um, it's like a blue swage and underneath there's like a orange orange kind of um

background to it. So I guess that's what it meant by the double layered swoosh. I think it's pretty sick. I think it's a six shoe. Um. I don't know how much they're going for. These are probably expensive, let's be real here, UM, so UM not that bad. I mean the highest bid is a thousand, so I thought there would be more Honestly, they're pretty cool, but again again, not really a shoe that I've seen myself spending that much money on. The next one is the Nike s

B Dunklow Day of the Dead. Oh Um, it's up. It's a cool shoe. I like the concept. I think the colors are a little bit crazy. It would be very hard to match this um with an outfit, but I mean, I don't know. Super dope shoe came out in November two six. This Dunklow was a second to draw from Mexican culture's inspiration, and it was designed by Christian Selina's Medina So came out in two six. Some people like, actually consider this there grail Um, I'm pretty

sure they go for a grip too. Let's see. Oh wow, yeah, last hill was four hundred highs bid is Jesus Christ. I definitely not a pair of shoes that I've seen myself spending that much money on, for sure. But I can respect the show. I respect it. I I respect my Mexican um bust of fam out there. Dia deliss that I tried to say it as minimally white as possible, So I tried. I'm a gring go but Anyway, Um, next shoe, Um is that Nike as we Dunk three

Bears pack. So before I even read the significance of this, okay, I'm gonna read it first. This pack featured a high, low, and mid that took conspiration from a fairy tale most of us all know Goldilocks in the Three Bears, And actually for each of these shoes there was a bear break. So super super dope. And right here we have pictured the baby Bear. One thing that I thought it was really sick on these shoes was that it actually had fur on it, so it looked like a bear. I

wanted the Baby Bears for a while. I really actually like those, but they're going for too much money now. Honestly, I have the highs. I have the Papa Bears, which I like more honestly than the Baby Bears. But again, super clean dope shoe came out in two thousand six. Um, they came out and like the three Bear pack, so it was like the Baby Bears were the lows, the Mama Bears were the mids, and the Papa Bears were the highs. Papa Bears are by far my favorite. Then

I like the Baby Bears. The myds and gave the Momma bears I'm not crazy about honestly. So the next one is the Stash times Nike dunk Fire super Fire shoe, extremely difficult to get um and um. I think there was only I can't remember how many pairs of these dropped. It was either like thirty or a hundred or something very very limited. But let's read the significance. Josh Franklin and K Stash was one of the most prominent graffiti

artists in two thousand three, oh sorry period. In two thousand three, he exhibited his work at the now defunct Parisian concept store Collette, titled Tools of the Trade product Division. He teamed up with Nike to launch fifty pairs. Okay, so it's fifty pairs, So I was close. I was stunning Dunklow's featuring pain drip on the lateral panels and a signature tag on the heel fire shoe extremely difficult to get. Um. I actually, I don't think I've ever

seen a pair of these cell on like stock eggs. Yeah, I don't know. They're not even on stock X or goat, so I know these go for mad mad bread. I don't know. How much. But I mean they're super super are There's only fifty pairs of these, and Stash is a sick artist, like it's so dope and so the concept of the shoe is sick. So the next one is the Nike as by Dunklow London. So now this is a heavy hitter right here. Um, such a dope shoe.

The whole top is like Swede in different like shades of gray, and then it has like the the um. I think it's the river themes on the back. I think I think that's what it is. Came out in January two. This pair was supposed to be released at London's White Dunk Evolution of an Icon event that though that was canceled and the pairs were later sold through foot Patrol. An outline of the River Thames is embroidered on the heel. Um see how marcies go for Now,

this is a heavy hitter. I know that for a fact. Um. So the highest bid is nine thousand, five hundred and the lowest ask is fifty thousand dollars. I mean, realistically, I think these go over like fifteen to twenty. But crazy, super super clean looking shoe. I would buy these even if they weren't that like, I would buy these if they were just like a g R because I think they look so clean. I love like the swede Um gray palette. I don't I don't know the exact word

for it, but I think they look sick. Number thirty two the s B T G Times Nike HASP dunk Low. Now. I've seen these a bunch of times. I never pulled the trigger on them. I really don't like them, dude, I really don't. But they came out in August two thousand and six. The bear was designed by Singapore based artist Mark Sabotage on who's who rose to fame in the sneaker customization world. So that's pretty cool that he actually got his own shoe after um selling customs or

customizing peoples shoes or whatever. That's pretty cool. I didn't even know the backstory behind them. UM, and they had this like really weird thing covering the tongue that I really don't like. But UM, the highest bit of six fifty lest sales five hundred, so you know, it's like pretty decently priced. Um, it's kind of expensive. I would never pay that much for that. True. I really don't like it that much, to be honest, but anyway, Next is number thirty one, Nike Dunk Low Pro B low

um my brother will be alow. If you guys watch a bar at then it's funny. But Nike Dunk Pro below alpha numeric lighting and alpha numeric three M. I've actually never seen this before, to be completely honest, but it came out January two and one. Both pairs were designed by Alicia Owerca More and only given to friends and family as well as team members of Nike KSB,

probably explaining why I've never seen them. They're they're kind of just like an all gray um upper and like a white soul with like this yellow Nike branding on the back, and it's like yellow. I honestly don't even know what that is. I can't. I can't decipher that. But they're pretty cool. Um not crazy about him. There's no links to the shoe, so I'm assuming it's like probably impossible to get these, especially since they were friends and family. And since they were friends and family, I'm

sure that they go for a lot of money. So the next year we have on the list is Nike s B Dunk Hi m F Doom. Now I think that these are flames. And these are obviously um like based off of or designed after M F. Doom the rapper. So they came on July two, dozen and seven, and the significance is claimed underground rapper M F. Dum was tapped to design a high top dunk, which has since become one of the most coveted eyes of all time. So he actually designed them himself. I think they're actually

super fire. Um has like the red laces, like gray and black kind of upper and then the bottom is like translucent and I'm pretty sure it's like a picture of him or something, and at the ostrich on the front, I think these are these are flames, and this says doom Um on the side. These actually went up a lot in price. I remember when these used to go for like three bucks and now good luck getting them for like under a thousand, and I really think that

these kind of will go up more. Honestly, super flame shoe. So number twenty nine is a Nike sp dunklow Michael Law Now, I've only seen these twice. I've seen them once in Singer Con Shanghai and once at Project Blitz and artist Michael Allows and Nike collaborations are usually closer to a work of art than something you put on your feet. And there's a wood grain Dunklow based off of his like uh, and this wood green Dunklobe based off of his comic strip Gardner is no different. So

the whole thing looks like it's made of wood. Like the details on the shoe are flames. I love this shoe and it's extremely extremely hard to get. I'm pretty sure. Um yeah, so there's no sales and the highest bid ist, but I think they go for more than that. Honestly, Let's see if there's any sales. So the last sale was six thousand, but that was in UM two. But yeah, like,

crazy looking shoe, crazy looking show. I think it's so fire. Um. Next we have the Huff Times Nike Yes by dunk Hi Tied Eye, another crazy fire shoe that I totally slept on and I'm mad at myself. I should have bought these way back then, way back when. Now you can't even buy a new pair and use they go

for nine so crazy. So they came in November two four Huff, which is like a streetwear brand, Huff collaborative dunk Hi channel San Francisco's Free Spirit with the tied type print done up in the SF Giants orange and black color scheme fire shoe, and I think the leather on these are so cool because I can't tell if that's how it was supposed to come, or if it's like cracking, or if it's supposed to be based off like an animal or something. But again, super super dope shoe.

So the next shoe we got is a Nike sp dunk De La Soul and the significance is both the Highs and the Lows inspiration from De La Soul's debut album, Trippy Neo Psychedelic artwork. Um I put a comma in the rocks hot. Yeah, so it's based off of their album artwork. I actually like the lows more personally. I think the highs are cool, but I would rock the lows like. The lows are just more of my vibe. They go for about like a thousand dollars, so you

know they're getting there. The highs are. I don't know how much the lows are, but I think those are a bit cheaper. I'm not sure. Don't mark my words on that one. But these ones came out in two thousand and five, So now number twenty six concepts times Nike hasp dunk low Lobster. Now, um, I think it's just talking about all the lobsters as a whole. So

what we have picture tears. The yellow lobster, which is the Friends and Family, goes for like fifteen to thirty dollars, and I'm pretty sure there's only like forty something pairs of them, or sixty pairs something very very small. There were only Friends and Family, the yellow ones. I actually have the reds, the blues, the greens, and the purples. I love them. I think they're so far I wish

I could complete my set and get the yellows. But I mean, your boy doesn't want to spend fifteen grand on a pair of shoes right now, or I mean, honestly, in my size, probably more, But um, let's read the significance it's concepts. Ongoing partnership with Nike has spawned a number of lobster inspired colorways, some more rare than others, but all of equal significance when considering the hype and

popularity of Nike dunks. Pretty crazy, pretty fire, and actually a friend of mine helped design these, or I think he designed them himself or he came up with the concept. Um shout out robot out Rob Hepler, um Fire shoe super Fire. I wish I could get the yellow ones if somebody wants to buy them for me for Christmas. UM my addresses and I'm just kidding no please don't. Those are way much or um but yeah, crazy, last sale on these is fifteen in my size. So next

year we have is the Supreme Times. Nike has b dunk High, which like it's like the faux gator um skin with the stars and we're here. They have the red one pictured, but there is a blue and an orange color way as well. So these came out two dozen three, arriving in three color ways. This dunk Hi was originally intended to have a Nike logo repeat pattern, though that was ditched in favor of stars when the

sneaker was eventually released. Yeah, I wonder why they did that because it used to be like Nike like gold Nikes instead of the stars. I think the gold Nankes looked pretty sick, but I mean, yeah, the stars actually look better. But there's like a three samples when in each colorway of with of this shoe with like the Nikes, and I'm like, nobody even knows who those are and

God knows how much they go for. But these these guys go for a grip to Like it's impossible to find a pair of these above a size I could tend. I'm a size eleven unfortunately, so it doesn't really make my life any easier. But but yeah, these go for anywhere between three and five thousand dollars. Crazy, crazy crazy. The next shoe is a Nike sp Dunkload Tokyo, so

super clean color way. I've actually never seen like a spotless version of these shoes because I feel like it's so easy to get them dirty because they're like a white canvas um. But anyway, so they came on two four. This dunk, like the London version, was part of the White Dunk City series and strictly limited to two pairs raffled off via lottery. This pair featured no heel or tongue logos, making a truly blank canvas. Okay, so that makes sense. Um, these go for a grip to this.

This is a heavy hitter right here. So oh wait, no, this is the wrong link. I just clicked. I just clicked the link, and it took me to the two thousand and five version of these shoes, or the two version of these shoes, but the two thousand five version, the original version. UM, the cheapest you're going to get them for is like ten thousand maybe. Um Fire shoe last sale was eight thousand dollars actually, so I mean yeah, I mean eight five to ten thousand. It's probably the

cheapest you're gonna get it. I didn't even know they had like a Red Show version of this shoe. The Red Show goes for like five bucks, and it's it's white, like the other one was like an off white, and the resho has some like branding and stuff, so it's not as cool. Next shoe is the ny As We Dunkleo Medicom too. So these are the second ones that came out. They were like a kind of like a denim um upper, like a black denim and gray. They

came out in two thousand and four. This pair, like his predecessor, was offered only through Medicalm's website and opted for an all denom upper, calling back to Reese Forbes and Denham Dunk. Also one of my favorite shoes, refforms um Denim Dunk super Fire. They go for way too much money. I can't afford them. Sucks, I know, so um these guys go for around five to seven thousand. I think they're there. I think these are cooler than the um the ones. I like these. I like these

a little bit more. The next shoe we have on the list is the Nike Dunk Hayes High and Low. Now, I've been trying to find a pair of these for the longest time, and every single time a pair comes up in my side, somebody else buys them before me, and they also go for a way too much money. But anyway, they came out in two thousand three, and when I see born, graffiti artist Eric Hayes added his signature style to a Dunk High and Dunk Low, both of which were one of the earliest instances of an

artist collaborating on a pair of sneakers. Pretty crazy, Actually, I like the lows a lot more. I think the highs are a bit cheaper, but um like, these go over anywhere between twelve and like three thousand dollars, and I don't know how are the lows. The lows are around that much too. Honestly, I like the Lows more. I'm more of a low guy than a high guy. The next she was one of my favorite sps, if

not my favorite. The Nike has to be dunk Low Jedi now not only is green my favorite color, but also Star Wars is like my favorite franchise, my favorite movies, like of all time, like since I was a kid, and um it came out and made two thousand and four. I have a pair. I wear them all the time. They haven't fallen apart on me, So shout out to my Jedies. They really have the force. They really do be having the force though, and the significance behind the

shoe is officially dubbed baroque um BAROQUEI brown. I don't know. The Dunklow is said to be inspired by Master Yoda's garb as well as Jedi Lightsabers super Fire. They're not called no baroque brown, they are called the Jedis, thank you very much. I don't know how much they go for. I actually got my pair for around five hundred. Geez, oh my gosh, like last by now is three thousand.

That's crazy. I didn't know that those went for that much, honestly, either way, I'm wearing my shoe until the day I die. I love those, so coming up at number twenty, so we're getting, you know, towards the top of the list here, and I'm genuinely surprised to see these at number twenty. But the Stucie Times Nike SP Dunklow Cherry. This is a shoe I do have. Um. I've talked about this

a few times. I bought mine anything for like four hundred or five hundred dollars or something like that, and now they go for like two thousand, almost three thousand dollars. Shout out to Travis are making these so expensive. Um, the last sale was two thousand on a pair of these guys. So pretty crazy if you ask me. And the significance is Dousi team manager Robbie Jeffers designed this

Dunklow to look like Neapolitan ice cream. The tongue even featured a literal cherry on top, and also the insul is a waffle cone, which they did not add, which is so far I love the shoe. Um. Next sneaker on the list is a NIKESB Dunklow for Toura. Again super Fire shoe for Toura is an amazing artist. I love a lot of his work, and um, I do own one of his shoes, not this one, but um I own the the Uncle Dunk Highs, which actually like a lot more than the shoe personally. But so these

came in came out in two dozen and three. Leonard Hilton mcgur a k A Mick Ker Mick Gurr Leonard Hilton, Mick ger a k A for Toura took inspiration from the NYC Subway steel envis for one of his earliest Nike SP collaborations. Well, I had no idea that this was based off of the New York City Subway. Again, really cool concept. It's like blue tones with a white swush super super fire shoe. Don't get me wrong, But I don't know. I'm not I don't know if it's gonna be on my Like I need this list, you

know what I mean. Number eighteen is a Nike SP Hemp pack. So um. The original one came out in April two four. This was the first four twenty inspired pack and introduced a brand new material to the Nike's SB line Hemp Um. I think these go for quite a bit of money. Actually, there's a few different versions of these. I think that there's a green one, there's a there's like an orange one, and there's like a red one. Um again, dope shoe. Not really for me, um,

but yeah, I like the green one. If I were to get one, I get the green one, and green is my favorite color. So the next UM shoe on the list is the Nike sp Dunklow Chocolate and Zoo York so came on June two and two East Coast, me Sweat West Coast and this Too sneaker pack designed by New York's New York and LA based Chocolate Skateboards. The cross on the heel of the chocolate pair was a nod to team writer Keenan Milton, who tragically passed

away in two thousand and one. Now, I actually didn't know that the Zoo York and the chocolates were um A pack. I had no idea on the chocolates go for around like a thousand, like the last a thousand, five hundred, but I'm pretty sure they go for more now and the Zoo York's I don't even know how much money those go for, but I mean the last sale was for a thousand dollars two years ago, so I'm assuming that those go for crazy money now. Um,

but yeah, super rare, very difficult shoe to find. The only person I've ever seen where them is my boy Dre, So that's crazy. I didn't I didn't know that they were a pack. I didn't know that they were packed. I'm a bigger fan of the chocolates though than I am of the New York's. I like the New York too, but I like the chocolates more so. Next is the Nike Dunk pro B Biotech. The original releaseate is in two thousand and one, and oh what what what? What? What? What?

This says released a two thousand one, and then it has originally released two thousand two. I see, I thought it was two thousand two also, but I don't know. They messed up here. Originally released two dozen two, the Biotech featured a vibrant clash of colors, making it instantly recognizable. Coupled with the premium Swede finish, the Biotech Dunk Prob has become a defining icon that has been reissued multiple times. So I have the most recent version of the shoe.

I haven't been able to find a size eleven in the original like it's impossible to find, and um, I love this shoe. I think it's fire and the oh yeah, this is this is the original let's see how much. Yeah, they don't even have one in my size. It's crazy, but the last ding I want them was a thousand dollars crazy, but I'll stick to mine. I like mine, and I think the old ones they just kind of look cooler because they're a little bit faded. But I'm sure if I left my shoes outside for a couple

of days, they probably look like that. I wear mine all the time. By the way, I love my biotechs. Number fifteen is a Nike SB Dunk high Skunk and uh. They came out April two. Another four twenty color way. The Skunk Dunk is probably the most iconic four twenty themed Nike dunk thanks to its obvious weeds inspiration in hairy green suede. A reverse Skunk was dropped in April, so it came out recently, and the reverse gun goes for three four grand, especially with a special box. It's

pretty fire. I personally like the original one more because there's more green, but I mean it's like a two thousand dollar shoe. Super super fire shoe, probably the only four twenties shoe that I would like, genuinely want. So remember fourteen is Nike SP Dunk High Uncle. So these are the shoes I mentioned earlier. I do have a pair of these. I used to have two pairs of these. One of them was worn. I bought it worn uh

in a size twelve. It didn't fit me though, it was like way too big, so I decided to sell them and buy a size eleven that I can actually wear and Uh. It came out in September two four And this is another pair designed by longtime Nike SP collaborator for Toura, this time in partnership with musical ensemble Uncle. The high end. The High ended up releasing to the public, while there's also an un released low version. Now I've seen the low version only in the vault at Project Blitz.

It's fire. I like the low version more because it's green. That's like an olive green and like blue super sick um. The highs are cool. Like I said, I like these more than his other clab But yeah, this sho is fire. Bro Let's be let's be real here. This is a fire show. I'm not even gonna lie, Um, I think I got mine mine for around, like I was a little bit late to the train, but damn damn less

the thirty thousand, she's geez Louise. That's crazy, okay. So. Number thirteen Nike SV Dunk Low colors by super or Supper March two, the second ever Nike as We Dunk, is a homage to New York City and was designed by Danny super super re re Rat Superio re re Rat. I don't know how to pronounce that. The white, orange and blue colorway is an obvious nod to the two of New York sports teams. I've I've seen these shoes before, but every single pair I've seen, like the orange paint

is like coming off. So, I mean, it's pretty crazy to find a pair of these pretty fire shoe. Number twelve one of my favorites that I'm actually really pissed that I didn't buy for a thousand dollars when I had the chance. It's the Nike s B Dunklow Heineken so one of the most iconic Nike dunks. This pair takes obvious inspiration from one of the most popular beers in the world. Due to legal issues. This pair was never actually released and it's officially called the Classic Green UM.

But now, dude, it's not the Classic Green, it's the Um Heineken and last sale was forty dred. I want to shoot myself for not getting these shoes. But regardless, super flame shoe UM green color way with like the red star on the back. I wish I got these when I had the chance. But you know these new as you lose. The next Dunk is number eleven. The Nike is b dunklow what the dunck? So now the

significance bind the shoes. Some of the most iconic color ways were included in this mashup pair, making this a real looker in addition to a collector's item. So these came out two thousan seven and basically each like the left and the right shoe look completely different. They have all the different UM designs on them from like the coolest pair. So so just looking right now, I mean I see the Shanghais, I see the pigeons, I see the bucks, I see the huffs, I see the lucky

number seven's, the bisons, the tweeds. Um, I mean this is just one of the one side and the Hunters to which with the sock liner super on the laces. It looks like it's the Jedi's so super fire shoe. Love it super sick. But I mean these go for so much money. These are the second ten thousand dollar shoe. Now it's pretty crazy. Yeah, less Shales seven thousand five, but I mean lowis but unless see what that was. Oh that's actually a pretty recent surprisingly But yeah, I mean,

and now I want to get him. It's is there crazy? So the next Dunk is so now we're in the top ten. So the next one is the Nike Dunk pro Be Smurf and Putty. I've actually never seen this show released before Nikes B was officially established. In two thousand two, the Dunk silhouette was turned into a skateboarding shoe as a part of the of the pro B line. The Smurf and Putty where Nike skateboarding or Nike skateboarding before Nikes B. That's actually pretty sick. It looks like

an all blue like suede upper. Guys. By the way, I'm learning a lot as we're doing this, So you guys are taking the ride with me. Well, that's actually the first time I'm going through this list. I wanted to go through it together so you guys can like here my genuine reactions. But well you learn a lot as you go along, and uh, wow, that's crazy. I

don't know super fire shoe. I've actually never seen it and um, looks like there's not even a link to buy it anywhere, So I'm sure these are pretty hard to get. The next shoe coming at number nine is the Nikes b dunklow Reese Forbes denim, the shoe I was talking about a little bit earlier, um, and the significance is for Reese Forbes second dunk clap. He tapped artist and fellow skater Natas Kalpas to create this freight

denim pair that has risen ticonic status. So these came out in two thou two and I'm pretty sure they go for like five to ten grand now. Um, yeah, last sales six thousand, but I mean they go for more now. And love love the denim, Love like the wash on the denim, like the freight dum so sick, the white mid soule with the red outtil super fire.

Love this shoe. Wish I could afford it. So the next shoe is the Nike Dunk high Wu Tang number eight and the significance is Back in the late nineties and Nike rereleased its original Beatrue Dunk collection with a special reworked Golden Rod color way for the University of Iowa, which was turned into the famed Wu Tang Dunks. Only thirty six pairs are believed to have been produced, and these came out. I've only seen three pairs before UM.

One pair in the Project Blitz warehouse, which is supposedly method Man's pair their Scise twelve, and he said he can't find his, so it's supposedly his. I've seen Travis by one pair from Blitz, and then I've one of my their friends. UM Ryan has a pair of these. UM crazy like super rare shoe. I can't believe I've seen three pairs and there's only thirty six pairs produced. I've been trying to find a pair of golden Rods

for a while. UM. They basically looked the same except they don't have the wood Tang logo, and I think it's a fire shoe up and I've been looking. I've been looking. If you have a pair of dam Me so number seven on the list is a nikesp Dunklow Freddy Krueger. Now, this is a shoe that everybody is obsessed with. Everybody loves the shoe. Um, this blood splattered Freddy Krueger inspired pair was created to celebrate a Nightmare on Elm Streets villain, but product had to be holded

due to legal issues. Only a few pairs made it out to the public, making this a real rarity. So now a lot of them have oil stains on them because they were actually meant to be destroyed. They were meant to be burned, and um, it's pretty insane that, um that that the shoe was created but never released. And I mean these shoes go for like twenty grand. Now I remember like a few years ago, they're going for like two three thousand. Uh Jesus, last sales fIF

crazy crazy super fire shoe. I've um, I don't own a pair of these. I wish I did. Um, but um, my friend Dre actually let me put his on one time, and I don't understand that his His was like a ten and a half, but it felt like a nine. They fit so tight. So I was actually looking for a pair to buy for myself. When they were going for around like two thousand and Um, basically, like anything above a size ten and a half in the shoe

is like impossible to find. And since they fit so tight, I'm a size eleven, I'd need a size twelve, which is like impossible. So um, yeah, it's bummer and probably a shoe that I on their own because of that reason. Honestly, I mean I was thinking about getting another shoe just to display, but like, dude, I want to wear my shoes, you know what I mean. Um, The next shoe is a Diamond Supply Coke Times, Nike, kesb Low, Tiffany. This is shoe I do have. Actually, Um, they're released in

two thousand five. This is one of the first dunks to go viral and generate a visceral level of hype unseen before. The colors were taken from Tiffany and Comb, and the sneaker was designed by Diamond Supply co founder Nick turch Ak. Nick Diamond Shout out Nick. He's actually a friend of mine. It's crazy that I can say that now because I grew up wearing diamond when I was a kid. But yeah, these shoes are going for

like three thousand dollar dollars. Now crazy, I got my pair for I think like eight hundreds or thousands something like that. Um, super fire shoe. Actually really really like this show. Um, next shoe is the Ftura Times Snikey sp dunk High FLOM. So now this is like for Toura's sickest show, like the FLOM. I think it's for Love or Money or for Love of Money. I can't remember,

um which one. I think it's for love or money And um, it has just like really cool like fl branding and like it has all these different currencies all over it. And there there were friends and family shoe and I'm pretty sure there's only twenty four pairs or twenty something like that. But anyway, let's read. Came out of March twos and four, designed by Fortura. This for Love or Money dunk High features a pattern created from different denominations of printed money and was produced in a

friends and Family run of only twenty four. Now this is easily fIF shoe. Um, I've seen itself for that much, which is absolutely mind boggling. And um, the last sale was ten thousand, but that was in two thousand and seventeen. Like dude, the issues like Um, I think Blitz sold a pair for fifty grand, which is insane. Insane. So we're getting to the top three. So let's see the honorable mention number four. The staple times Nike hasb Dunk

Low Pigeon. Everybody knows the shoe. If you're a sneaker head, you don't know the shoe, you need to read up on. The shoe came out in March two five. This was the final edition of the City series, and it's the Dunk that probably kick started sneaker culture as we know it today. Good enough for spot four, which may prove to be controversial, which is funny because a lot of people would think this is like one or two, um, but yeah, crazy. So this was this is like for

New York City. But they're called the Pigeon Dunks because they have like the iconic pigeon because there's pigeons all over the place in New York if you haven't been. I think this shoe goes for like twenty grand, maybe maybe more. I don't know. Lass sales fifteen thousand UM in two thousand nineteen. So now if you want to buy their like twenty three grand, crazy super iconic shoe, like, um, I think there was like a fight that I think

there's a huge fight that came out because of this release. Um, this is kind of the shoe that really kick started it. A lot of people think it's this shoe or the Nike Paris s B, So it's kind of between those two right now. But crazy shoe, crazy shoe. So next shoe number three. Wow, I'm actually surprised to see this at number three. Supreme times and Nike has b dunk low white cement and black cement. It came out in two thou too, limited to five hundred pairs each and

featuring the air Jordan three is iconic elephant print. We don't really need to say much more about Supremes first ever sp dunks obviously super fire shoe, extremely flames. I don't have the black or the white pair. I have the red pair that came out a little bit later. I think it was like two thousand twelve or something like that, and I can't I can't afford these ones. These are so expensive now it's pretty insane. Yeah, Like if you want to buy a pair of these, its

like eight grand, insane, dude. Um, it's crazy. This is like the first Nike sp that Supreme, which you know, for most people who don't know Supreme as a skate brand, so they got their own skate shoe. A lot of people just think that Supremes just like some streetwear. It is streetwear, but it is technically a skate brand. It

is it is a skate brand. I love the inspiration behind the Jordan threes, which is cool because skate culture and basketball and street culture like kind of all mixed together, and this was like a perfect culmination of that, which I think is really sick. Okay, So number two, we got the Nike s B Dunklow Paris. So dude, crazy crazy. This shoe goes for like fifty two hundred thousand dollars. Now that's insane to say about a shoe, honestly. But

they came out in August two thousand three. This pair was also part of the White Dunk City series and was designed in collaboration with the French painter painter Bernard Buffett Buffet. The release of the exhibition was canceled and pairs were sold through select nis B accounts and highly

limited numbers. Now, like I said, um, I like a lot of people think that this shoe is what kind of kick started sneaker culture because the shop did come out before the Pigeons, and um, dude, they didn't start

singer culture. They started like the craze behind reselling and shoes, Like I think that this was like at the time they were going for like eight hundreds to thousand dollars and now they go for like fifty to a hundred thousand dollars, which is actually insane that and some people have, like my friend Dre has I think like eight pairs of these, which is I just I can't. It doesn't it's crazy to say the least. But um, super fire show love the shoe, and uh um yeah I can.

I can't believe I've actually been able to hold a pair of these. I would probably never own a pair just because they sell for so much money now. But insane, insane, dude, insane. And number one, can I get a drum roll please? But that was terrible? Drum roll um? And number one, we have the Nike Dunk B T T Y S Pack the Night five O G wow. So and these came many would have put Jeff Staples Pigeon Dunks at the top ranking, but can you really ignore the O B T T Y S pack that kicks started the

whole dunk mania. They do have a point, they do have a point that's pretty insane. So this was like the first dunk and uh, I guess I don't even know how really these go for I've actually never seen a pair of these in person, which is insane. UM, But I don't know if this isn't this can't be the now, this is not the right pair. I was gonna say that over three d dollars, like what, Um, that's insane that now, I like, now you can really see, um.

The inspiration behind the Jordan one and the Jordan one I think was probably a mix of this shoe and the um what was it? The um they're called like the I think they're called the flights the air what was that not? Let me look it up. Airships, that's what they're called. So I think that the Jordan was one was inspired mainly by the airships, but the dunk had to have some sort of UM like influence on that shoe as well. So that's pretty crazy that this

is the number one. I probably like would have put like the like a couple of other pairs the in here as well. Um, I understand why they put this at number one, but because it kind of started it all. But I mean a lot of people don't know what the shoe even exists, so but you can definitely see how different looks like the it's a lot higher, like it's a high top, and it's a lot higher than a normal like um um as as be or dunk. And by the way, guys, dunks and s b s

aren't necessarily the same thing. So I think every s B is a dunk, but not every dunk is an SB, so think about it that way. And as you can see, as bees, we're officially kind of introduced in two thousand two and these were from so seventeen years prior. But that's pretty crazy. Like I actually learned a lot on this, um I hope you did too. And um, I'm gonna see you guys next week. I'm gonna I'm gonna find some another another cool um sneaker educational lesson for you guys.
