I like how the shoe was focuses around the idea of beginner skaters to see the progress of flick marks, hightop to support the ankles, and all love no hate but nike makes it a limited amount for beginners to not even get there hands on love the idea of the shoe and the brand thats collabing with nike but i think nike is putting a bad expression of there idea with a dunk
This shit is actually so cool. Got blessed with a skated pair on Depop for 35$. It’s so fire to see with Froskate stands for and is doin for the community. This collab is so slept on💯💯💯
You guys are fantastic. We need more of this. A collaboration that sends a message about so much more than just fashion. Great innovative sneakers!👍👏🏼😍
Absolutely beautiful conception behind this sneaker design. I totally fell in love when I saw these. Can’t wait for the postmaster to deliver them to me. ❤ALL LOVE NO HATE❤
I hate how now that Nike SB is going hard, I can't get none. Hopefully either stock for these is enough to scoop them for retail hassle free, or they go down in value at resell.
It's shameful last I checked "the check the swoosh" was for everyone this is just picking and choosing now a days to please the Party of nut job wackos. I can't wait for this gay trend to be over its just out of control now everyone is gay for attention before people got attention because they were talented Neil Patrick Harris a actor or Brian Anderson a skateboarder for nike got lots of attention but felt wrong not being able to express who they are is completely different then this ad.
Wow, you’ve slipped right into the delusion. NikeSB is showing that they continue to cash in on, affirmative action, which sells their shoes, ultimately hurting the skateboard community and driving a bigger wedge between us.
@@uncomfortablynumb9800 explain how this hurts the community? No one forcing you to buy any specific shoes. The wedge you are feeling is YOU not anyone else.
@@thhhx It takes away from actual skaters who deserve the shine. These ppl aren’t skaters, they can barely push or pop. There are 4 year old kids out there who put these tokens to shame. It’s great that they like skateboarding and want to ride, but they don’t deserve anything in the professional world of skating whatsoever. That’s facts. This ain’t it. Y’all want to talk about inclusivity yet this group only accepts black, female & queer. That, by definition goes against what they claim to stand for. If the tables were turned, everyone would be crying racism and homophobia.
in before all the racist and sexist comments start flooding in smh. why can't skaters accept everyone in the skate community? we all are chasing the same stoke. i hate how bigoted the UA-cam comments section have been for years now. anyway, the dunks are sick and i hope to cop a pair in my local shop's (no-comply) raffle!
@@vasectomyfail442 see, that's a dumb argument. like, it may be impossible for you, but to me, i get just as stoked seeing dashawn or suciu land something epic as i do seeing this new generation of skaters falling in love with the very artform (skateboarding) that changed and saved my life forever. if people only can appreciate greco-style hammers or shane-style insane tech, then i question their love for skateboarding. skateboarding is so big and all encompassing, i don't know why we can't make room for everyone without resorting to sexist, transphobic, and bigoted language
@@SidewaysIsDead you’re definitely new to this world. You know nothing of skateboarding and it’s culture / history. That’s fine, but don’t go spewing this delusional nonsense around. We don’t need more woke mob sjw’s.
No offense to these ladies im actually all for the shoes and the skating but the skate culture has always been acceptant of everyone last time i checked besides scooter kids and rolling bladers sex never mattered nor did skin color I understand in 2022 alot of people may not have a group to fit in if they are gender fluid or anything of that sort but there is lowkey no discrimination in the skate/BMX/music world so i don’t really see the point of the whole froskate thing other than to just make money
That may be true to you, but that doesn’t mean everyone else has that similar experience as you do. The video never mentioned throwing shade at other skate collectives for what they do, the video just highlights what FroSkate is about and what their mission is.
@@AbelAraya but it has less to do with skating and more to do with who they are and what they identify as and what their political view and stance is. That’s why people are upset. To think that Nike actually believes in stuff like this is also very naive. They obviously are trying to jump on this train because they know it’s profitable. You know what isn’t profitable? Manufacturing shoes in America which is why they have been known to use sweatshops, underpay, and abuse workers in third world countries. If they truly cared about people who are being marginalized and or abused why don’t they show sweatshops and underpaid workers? Oh wait I know… NOT profitable $$$
Cool to see exposure for groups like this. I hope the shoe sells a ton and Nike pay them generously. I do sometimes find the language around inclusivity a bit disingenuous though. Discussion of representation often feels hollow and falls back on a series of soundbites. Can you be Nike’s first black female collaborators whilst also being gender non-confirming? And is ‘total inclusivity’ even an achievable goal? Surely the real goal here is greater representation for POC?
Cough cough* Fro community says it all it's just victims not talent even adidas does it not as drastic tho this was just a slap in the face pushing a agenda that isn't popular and for that reason exactly kids start skating At a young age so sexual identity or sexual preferences is completely wrong to push for a skateboard shoe that again is mostly going to be kids and teens. only so many keep pushing into middle age and beyond.
They won’t be paid shit, they get a few pairs of the shoe. At the cost of everyone seeing they are poser and eventually they’ll fall off because none of them possess any talent or skill on a board, and want to be included for their skin colour, gender and sexual orientation. None of which are accomplishments, skills or otherwise. Shame on fro skate, y’all are ruining skateboarding.
@@uncomfortablynumb9800 'ruining skateboarding' is such a cliche that There Skateboards just named their last video that. You might not like 'Fro, fine, but all the aspects of skateboarding you like still exist and are out there for you to engage with. Instead, you've come on to a video of skating you actively dislike just to spot some reactionary drivel. There is nothing wrong with skateboarding actively being more inclusive. If videos like this help keep POC or LGBT+ skating, that's a good thing. Videos like this aren't really meant for you.
@@jackminehard This video did not 'push' anything sexual. One woman revealed she was queer, that's it. Young people are allowed to know what that word means. People don't grow up in a bubble and they are allowed to learn about different sexual identities before becoming an adult. That is healthy.
@@djmon1987 Must be nice, inside your delusion. Affirmative action for groups who actively disallow anyone who isn’t black, female, trans, queer, Is a GIANT step in the wrong direction FOR ALL SKATERS. The comments section is designed specifically for people to comment their thoughts and opinions. If you can’t understand or handle that, you probably shouldn’t leave your mothers basement. “There skateboards” is one of the worst things to ever come into the skateboard world. It’s clear you’ve no understanding of our history or culture. Educate yourself instead of licking the boots of affirmative action tokens.
Even though this woke outlook on skateboarding isn't my thing, it's still better than these kids being on drugs, getting pregnant & committing crimes. These kids need safe zones for skate parks when my generation skating in the late 80's had zero skate parks, zero support & were outcasts of society constantly harassed by cops regardless of race. We didn't care about identity politics. If you skated you were in. Now that skating is a cool kids thing & you got Rhianna wearing Thrasher shirts, trendy social justice stuff is seeping into skating. This group talks of inclusion but unknowingly promotes separation by saying their group is for a specific skin tone & sexual orientation. They say they skate with everyone but it doesn't seem like everyone can be a member of the group. Wish these kids the best though. They can't comprehend they're being brainwashed into woke victim mentality. Especially when they're being rewarded for it.
Why did drugs and crimes enter your mindset? Did you just hear Chicago see dark skin and went with what you were programmed to think? Maybe they didn’t get love at the skate park, so this is a stamp on their creativity, individuality while not hating?
@@BlimpCityFeeder I'm black😂You're the one that brought color into it. Are you racist? Drugs, crime & pregnancies affect kids of all walks of life & social status. Not getting love at the skate park is pretty petty compared to having to break a guy's jaw to get your board back or getting chased by police & gangs. Not a fan of woke victim mentality & over sensitivity, but I still wish them the best.
@@Areaeees Folks are rehabbing differently based on resources in their neighborhoods. The point is that drugs was not the focal point of the designers of the Dunks. Keep passing the spliff around though.
I dont give a shit what any grown up as adults choose to do behind closed doors between consenting adults #1, cause thats nobodies business except those adults but i dont appreciate whoevers idea it was to make these 2 black woman the face of some movement for trans people, i could see if they were but the fact they not makes me think they're attempting to put the fight of oppression of black people and trans people in the same category which are 2 completely different stuggles of their own. As a black person though its a little different cause my the color of my skin is not something i chose. Trans on the other hand is the complete opposite, where that literally is a choice a person is making to switch their gender and the 2 i just feel should be left to fight for their rights in their own seperate lanes. Hopefully i'm not overreacting but im just calling like i see it, i really hope im wrong though.
Finally got my pair in from SNKRs and the details and quality are both A1. The lace options are insane!

Such a cool collab!!!
Those are nice & hearing the colorway's meaning/stoy means I need to visit GOAT for a pair, ASAP!
