They originally retailed at $65 in 1985. Given inflation, that's about $155 today. The MSRP on the modern day Jordan 1 is about $160. I imagine it was exactly the same but with far less demand. Elementary economics...
It's really not a good investment. If you spend $25, and only get a few hundred dollars 30 years later, that's a bad investment. You would've been better taking that $25 and investing it an S&P 500 index fund. You would have way more money in 30 years.
@@soun.slayer damn dude im sorry. hope you can find some good shoes to be your favorites soon. yes im calling janoski's lame. nike has made the best sneakers and shoes in history and itll stay that way indefinetly. why would your favorite pair be the "nike - not vans" lmao get u some aj1's
They are a huge supporter of the community. Nike’s recent orange label line up can only be bought from local skate shops. Just got the bruins and the inside of the orange tongue says “support your local.” This is pretty cool in my opinion.
They’ll break that promise to “only sell in skate shops” like they did with SB. Wow, support your local skate shop, when they killed so many. Fuck Nike Sb, it’s just some straight up fucking poser shit.
@@ozzygreen619 that's the wrong mentality to have mate, you shouldn't feel bad about what you missed out on things outside of your control, why not concentrate on potentially not missing out on things in the future ?
I hope that sbs don't become a hype shoe. Also hypebeasts only wear clothing and shoes if they are hyped not if they like The shoe or the history behind the shoe
Man I had a pair of the Tiffany dunks in 2007. My friend bought them randomly, didn’t like how they went with his outfits, so sold them to me for like £15. Neither of us knew they’d be worth £300 a few years later. I skated the crap out of them. No one knew you could sell them for so much haha. First skate shoe that was thickish, yet had boardfeel and flexibility with a lot of grip
I remember it was a really cool move back in 2004-2005 when you could only get Nike SBs in certain skate stores. One skate store per town was allowed the shoes at one point. It was a good idea because the skate stores actually got behind it and liked the shoes. I’m sure some at first were like “errr ok,” but they definitely were ahead of the curve on that one. Also some skaters were totally cool with it (I wasn’t at the time but like them now lol) as those other skaters grew up wearing Nike football shoes (I’m British where everyone loves football) so the transition wasn’t weird for them. The only down side was, by 2008 when I started liking the shoes a lot, they were difficult to find haha. Would have to drive quite far to get them or order online
Caracas eu tenho Miami Dolphins, Raygun alguns BCS como o do Gordo, Gerdau, Fabio Cristiano amo todos mas meu sonho seria o Dunk do Flavio Samelo me arrependo profundamente não ter comprado um unico que vi no ebay em 2015/16 por 600 pila que arrependimento
I think the quality went a long way. I had always wore eS, Fallen, or Lakai, but when the Koston 1 dropped I gave them a try. I had always questioned skating a pair of Nikes, but within the first sesh you could tell how above and beyond the development of those shoes were. They lasted a whole season of skating daily for me, I only bought another pair cause the bottom of the shoes wore through after half a year. That experience really had me hooked, I have bought nothing but Nikes since besides the occasional Vans Pro series. If I ever see EK1's I always cop them.
Bruh this info is exhaustive, thank you for the break down, classic stuff. I got 245 just Nike Dunks but still looking for a couple grails you showed here
Love it homie! I was skating in the early 2000s and remember when everyone was salty about Nike getting into skateboarding. I personally fuckin LOVED IT!
Bro, I watch you vids all the time but this was the first “doc” video of yours that I watched. I seriously love this video. Great job man, keep up the good work!
Those were some good years for sneakers so many memories I had a friend that was working at active he didn't love SB's like me he was just buying them after seeing the hype around them and once he was over them he literally held them for me this dude let me pay him $100 a week for each dunk ALL PINK BOXES.....& I still remember the days when I didn't know about Nike sb dunks my sister and I was in LA shopping at some random skate shop & no lie this hurts me each time I think about this moment they put out a row of stussy dunks more then 10 pairs lined up back to back and my dumb ass told my sister Deanna hey do you like these with the cherry's on the tongue she was like NO I don't like the brown on them and I just walked away clueless 😫
SB birthed the modern day sneaker culture. Anybody who argues with that doesn’t know the history. People weren’t camping out for sneakers before they arrived.
I graduated in 1999. I also started skateboarding in 199. By the time I hit high school you couldn’t have paid me to wear a pair of Nikes so this video is so true and crazy. I skated Hookups and was my favorite brand, but I also wore so Axion back in the day so not to destroy my last set of Red Eyes.
I don't skate at all but I love dunks because of their comfort and endless dope colorways. I just got the Appetite for destruction Guns and Roses Dunk lows. I love them so much.
*Early 2000's i just entered the military and dunks was the shoe of choice for me and all my friends. They where cheaper then AF1's and there were more colorways as well! It's just a fly shoe to have!*
first pair of SBs was hemp from local skate shop, really wish I got the Heinekenand Manchester United as well. hemp lasted for years until they totally fell apart. now whenever I cop new shoes I always get 2 pairs. one to wear and one to collect. been wearing SB dunks exclusively (aside from hiking shoes/boots) for the last 15 or 16yrs
Heckyheck maybe not because of the shoe but because Nike is a major company cashing out from skateboarding while they never had any relations to Skateboarding so they saw this as a move by Nike just as a another way to make money off of skateboarding culture
It’s silly how they messed up the image of Peter Moore. They show the picture of the man in the video game industry versus the one from the shoe industry. They have to give their sneaker head card back LOL!
Still a fan of the classic Sb’s though I don’t own any of what was featured at the end. I would like to own at least one pair. But my favorite Sb dunk was the Todd’s or also known as SEND HELPS. The aqua blue reef color way to be exact. Awesome video
I used to have SB Dunks in some crazy color way- you know multicolor laces and so on :) Both my Etnies and Dunks had some brown parts and were unusual, but best shoes I remember from my youth were Adidas Superstars with black upper. Super durable and everyone wanted them in early 2000s.
Yo for a channel that has nothing to do with skating you killed it on this. 90% of the time when a skate product or company becomes popular out side of skate culture and into the mainstream hype (supreme/thrasher) people don't know jack shit about it. Which is so goddamn frustrating. So thanks for doing some research on this fuckin appreciate it yo

Back in the day I actually skated in Air Force 1's until I saved enough to buy dunks and when I finally did I instead spent it on a pair of Air Jordan 1's it was worth it.
