Got these in recently and they are BEAUTIFUL. I got most of the big SB’s of 2023 minus Jarritos and born and raised, and these right there at the top imo. Great quality, great story, very unique. Absolutely love them💙
As a guy from Shanghai I gotta say these are definitely a dope representation of my city🔥From the MILK SB Blazer to these Gardenias or what I call the 白兰花s, FLY really know what they’re doing🔥And to me these are as good as the previous Shanghai sb dunks 1.0 and 2.0 (regardless the price). Great review as always and nice Mandarin pronunciation🫡
As somebody also from Shanghai 白蘭花 and 梔子花 are very similar but 梔子花 is gardenia and 白蘭花 is called alba x magnolia. 白蘭花 is less pungent than 梔子花. I think nike might've gotten the name wrong or just chosen a more marketing friendly name that would stick to a certain target audience. If you look up 梔子花 which is the gardenia you can see it clearly isnt the flowers elders sell in Shanghai, that would be the 白蘭花 or Magnolia × alba.
It's my favorite sb to come out this year so far. The execution turned out amazing, the materials are wonderful, and the blue is so vibrant. My first sb dunk, and I'm happy. Unfortunately, i lost all raffles as usual with every sb, so i resorted to stockx. I tried to double up from eBay, but it failed authenticity :( The prices have gone up like $50 since then, so ima cherish this pair. Thank you for all the information and content Sean ❤ you are very appreciated.
Criminally Underrated pair of Kicks a lot of people are gonna be kicking themselves they didn’t get these when prices were low Materials & Details are A1 🔥🔥
Being born in Shanghai these were a MUST for me, FLY been holdin it down for Shanghai's skateboard culture, still remember going there back in the days to get some SB's ( PeeWee's /MF Doom's/XiaoLongBao's)
I hit two pairs of these. Being part Chinese I had to have em to represent that side of me, like you said the quality is amazing on these I always love the suede and leather combo on a dunk, it’s great for skating. I’m def skating one and keep the other on ice so once I destroy that pair imma just casually rock the other. Great shoe for the Spring n Summer
Awesome review as always Sean. I usually like my Dunks and Jordan 1’s to have an outsole color that contrasts from the midsole. That’s the only thing I can see missing from this pair, otherwise such a wonderful sneaker.
I am really debating between a size 10 or a 10.5. Don’t want to drop that money and then they don’t fit right. In the normal dunks I have about a half a thumb nail to a full one depending on the dunk. What would you recommend? I appreciate your help. Great review on this shoe. I have been waiting on one before I buy them.
I wear 10 in regular dunks because 10.5 is too big unless I choke my laces up tight. Sbs are different. There's a lot padding. So what you would do is really up to you with the sb. That's my personal take.
They look great and I'd like to grab a pair but I'm not dropping $400 CAD for them. I'd rather do a custom pair of Dunks via Nike by you and still have $$$ left over.

Amazing!!!
I wish I got these at retail, but I’m not in a rush to get them for resell that’s for sure. Hopefully a review on the AM1 Mica Greens next? Thanks SG!
These, upcoming Jarritos and Yuto sbs are top 3 imo so far this year, good review as always Sean
Can’t wait for them!
What the yutos look like

Thanks for the review. Love you bro. You are the best sneaker blogger.
Just wanted to say that i very much like your reviews! Keep on the great work :)
Thanks a lot
Born and raised and Gardenia these are bomb of the year
This would be my first SB Dunk Low🔥
Awesome review as always Sean. I usually like my Dunks and Jordan 1’s to have an outsole color that contrasts from the midsole. That’s the only thing I can see missing from this pair, otherwise such a wonderful sneaker.
Posted the whole story about these cause I felt nike usa dropped the ball. Great inspiration
👏👏👏👏👏👏

Just got these in a trade nice
Favorite SB of the year. Had to double up
hit on snkrs restock
I'm surprised these got as much as hype as they did.
Been waiting for this review lol
respect!!
Intimacy took L on these hit I want them now :)
are getting the newly launched lucky green for review?
yup
@@SeanGo cool
These are pretty nice but I already have the Dodger dunks which are similar so I didn’t even enter the raffle at local skateshop 🤷♂️
🔥
fully thought it was a badminton reference
it's frustrating that any cool dunk release like this on snkrs is virtually gonna result in an L, and you're gonna have to resort to paying for resale
NEEEEED but I really don't want to pay $350+ CAD lmao
👌🏻👌🏻🔥🔥
They look great and I'd like to grab a pair but I'm not dropping $400 CAD for them.

Got em on SNKRS and sold em too soon
Getting this for 250USD is that fair? Pls guide?
first
Do you get a prize?
@@MrRoda8143 No, i just congrats him for being first in the comment section :)
I wasn’t a fan of these, the swoosh and metal staple maybe, they just look off
