What’s good, family. So we’re finally at our first big drop of the year with these Union Dunks, huh? Y’all know my feelings on it — I’ll probably decide at the last minute whether it’s worth going through the trouble since I don’t like the mesh material.
But where do you stand on it? Are you going for the Union Dunks this week or are you chilling?
Also, how has everyone been handling 2022 so far with the hype train on hold? I’ve been able to circle back on a few pairs myself. I’m not going to lie…I…I kind of like this vibe.
Def not even bothering for the Dunks I’m not sure they even come in my size 5? I was hyped for the Mostly Jordan woman’s drop that got put on hold last second on the Nike app so now the Brotherhood 1s and some of the GS Jordan’s have my eye for now so many reach backs I have bookmarked which I’m cool with not my pockets lol wish the. Womens non hyped 1s would be better publicized with dates it’s so hit or miss via retail if I see them on resell I then end up looking for a date or availability if it even happened .. also playing the guessing game with Jordan and Nike if they drop a size 5 in the mens size tab or not there’s no consistency with what drops May have my size until they actually drop so hard to plan out $ wise what I’ll even go for
I like them. I’ll probably try for them but In general I think I’m gonna be taking a break from buying sneakers for a bit, given my life is in a different place rn. My collection has grown massively since the (you know what) started and next academic year I’ve be lucky enough to secure a placement at the University of Antwerp in Belgium to complete a year of my degree abroad, unfortunately I won’t be able to bring all my kicks! One thing I’ve learnt since getting in the game is it’s ok to pass, there’s always more shoes, and the ones You’ll end up treasuring the most are probably some of the lesser hyped pairs you didn’t expect to find yourself wearing.
First of all, congrats my guy!!! That's so awesome. I'm thrilled for you.
And it's definitely OK to pass. Contrary to what these companies want us to think, it's insane to try and cop everything that comes down the pipeline. That's foolishness.
honestly, soon as i saw the images of the union dunks, i put them on my Want List. but i’ll see if i can even catch them on canadian sites. they have a beautiful summer look to me
as far as the year goes, been quiet so far. circled back on the AJ4 Pollen’s and got a good deal, and got another pair of AM90’s (stop laughing at me Sykes!) on retail at foot locker!
no other plans until the cardinals or the zen masters
I like the Union collars so far but even with the leather or leatherette reveal under the mesh material, I'm just not a dunks person. Now when their AJ2 comes out, buddy I'm gonna be crying when I get that L...
Definitely going to try. Mainly bc I haven't properly bought a sneaker in a minute! I've also had some success trading through Barterr and Tradeblock recently, so always good to hold something hype for something else I might want down the line. Even gently worn things can find a new home through trading.
Def going for the Union Dunks! Overall though, not much that I can see in 2022 for me. Kinda need a breather as I feel like I went too hard the past couple years. The "grind" and now a slow period though has allowed me to reflect...Have already changed my approach and will be much more selective moving forward. Just did a nice trade for the SB Lilac unbleached. Will try for the Jordan 1 Georgetown in April. THAT'S ABOUT IT :)

Truly wish that they'd just drop something in your size smh this is such a big problem

Serious question: Are Dunks good or bad for foot health lol
Im helping a friend out. If they cop, I’ll keep for myself. I’d like to at least get one pair of the three. They’re def not a need, but nice to have.
I’ve also been doing the same going back and getting a few pairs I missed out on since January has been so slow.
January is normally a bit slow but I feel like we haven't even gotten many looks at hyped pieces that are coming down the line. It's weird.
Passing on the Dunks. They just don’t do anything for me. It’s good not to spend a lot of money.
I can respect that!

WHEW that one is gonna have a lot of hype behind it. You've got my help on it tho. I'm passing so I have an entry for you.

I haven't tried an online sneaker trade quite yet. I'm really nervous about to be completely honest lol
Not gonna bother going for them. I personally think they’re ‘OK’.
I think I at least want them in hand? I kinda wanna see what they're like peeled
