A LOOK BACK - DUNK LOW VNTG "RED/NAVY"

Thunderstorms en route.  I'm guessing any rain hitting these will probably make them look better and hopefully wash more of the "vintage" treatment off.  Don't get me wrong, these are still dope and really comfortable.  So much so that when I broke them out today it got me back online and checking out some of the new dunk releases on nikestore.com, which I almost never look for anymore.  Check out some new pictures below (click to enlarge) as well as my original review here.

SNEAKER REVIEW - LEBRON 8 V2 "NAVY"

This pair of Lebrons seems to be largely slept on in terms of colorways of the sneaker, probably because it isn't as limited as some other more well known color combos.  Make no mistake though, this pair has all the style and comfort of its more sought after brethren.  Supposedly based off of the uniform colorway of the New York Yankees, the shoe will definitely become harder to obtain as pairs eventually dry up online.

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.
