SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK LOW VNTG "RED/NAVY"

Co.jp is a designation typically reserved for a pair of Nikes only released in Asia.  There are several such dunk low and high releases (such as the reverse Ultramans) from over 10 years ago that now fetch relatively high dollar amounts among collectors.  This year, Nike went ahead and retro'd four such dunk lows; here we have a red, white, and blue colorway.  Much like the recent AJKO retros, the newer versions have the vintage treatment added to them, which means pre-yellowed midsoles and dirt painted onto the shoe.  Some collectors may not mind the worn effect, but I gave my pair a thorough scrubbing.  While I was not able to remove all the pre-vintage, I at least got them relatively new looking.  In my opinion, slight amounts of this effect are ok, but the default amount Nike used is overbearing.

MATERIALS: The uppers are all leather. They have a grimy white midsole with matching stitching and a blue outsole. My pair came with red and navy flat laces, swapped out to navy sb laces here.
FEATURES: These are very straightforward with no special features and get their name from the colorway.
STREET VALUE: retail
MY NOTES ON ACTUALLY WEARING THESE: These are very simple and comfortable. They will definitely crease, but should clean up decently due to the all-leather upper.  Since they already have a worn look, you will not be able to get them completely new looking, but then again you won't have to sweat it if they get a little beat up.  These are pretty season independent; I've found a navy top to work best with these.
