DUNK HIGH SB "SYRACUSE"

Yet another hightop dunk from the Be True To Your School Pack, this pair is based off of the Syracuse Orange team colorway.  There are low top Syracuse dunks that showcase more of the navy aspect of the school colors but these focus on the simple white and orange makeup with similar blocking to other BTTYS dunks.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2005 
STYLE CODE: 305050 181
MATERIALS: The orange parts are suede, the white is leather.
COMES WITH:  My pair came with white and orange sb laces and a special BTTYS keychain.
STREET VALUE: $160

DUNK HIGH SB "IOWA"

The Be True To Your School series consists of the original group of dunk high colorways based off of college basketball team uniforms.  They eventually released again, but upgraded to the sb format.  Here we have such a pair based off of the Iowa college uniform. Perhaps its the light-colored suede, but I found these to be harder to find in good condition than some of the others in the series.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2005
STYLE CODE:   305050 071
MATERIALS: The black parts are leather and the yellow parts are suede.
COMES WITH: These come with a special BTTYS keychain.  My pair came with black and yellow sb laces.
STREET VALUE: $175-200

AIR JORDAN III "TRUE BLUE 2011"

This is an original colorway of the AJ3 that has retro'd multiple times. Although there is some quality degradation when compared to even the 2009 version, this is still a very popular shoe that continues to sell out with every release.  This pair comes in a special elephant-print colored box with the same print on the inside paper and a retro card.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2011STYLE CODE: 136064 104
MATERIALS: The entire white upper is leather, with the cement print being suede/nubuck..
FEATURES: Mine came with white laces.
STREET VALUE: $210.  I got my pair from premierskateboarding.com!

A LOOK BACK - DUNK LOW SB "TRUE RED"

Nothing like watching the sun shine right on some classic silver box dunk lows.  Decided to take these for a spin again today.  I'll be in an office all day rather than a known gang territory, so I should be safe sporting these.  Peep a few pics below and my original review here.

SNEAKER REVIEW - AIR FORCE 1 "BE TRUE"

Recently, Nike teamed up with longtime collaborator Futura to create a bunch of different shoes and apparel.  One series amidst all of these releases is called "Be True", which includes a bunch of Syracuse Orangemen related gear, a dunk high, and some AF1's in various cuts including this perforated pair of lows.  Aside from the perforated pattern on the uppers, these have an atypical font on the lacelocks, Futura's signature on the tongue tag, a pattern design on the insole, "Be True" scripted on the bottom of the shoe (showing through the clear sole), and metal aglets.

INFO - DUNK HIGH SB "UNLV"

Here we have another Be True To Your School dunk sb high from the pink box era.  The shoes use the colorway of the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels uniform.  These are also known as the Ultramans, a nickname given to many red, gray and white Nikes.

SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK HIGH SB "KENTUCKY"

A simply colorway on a classic dunk high sb, these released as part of the 20th anniversary of the Be True To Your School series. The original series were simple dunk highs for Syracuse, UNLV, Michigan, Villanova, Kentucky, Iowa, and St. John’s college basketball teams. The 2005 remakes of the series were upgraded to all dunk high sb's.

DUNK LOW SB "TRUE RED"

These were not tough to come by when they first released, but now are highly sought after. They are a reverse of another silver box dunk low, Vamps.  No real features to speak of, the shoes get their name from the colorway.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2003
STYLE CODE: 304292 601
MATERIALS: The toebox, panel around the swoosh and middle rear are all leather. The rest is short haired suede.
COMES WITH: They come with red and black laces.
STREET VALUE: $250-350

AIR JORDAN III "TRUE BLUE"

YEAR OF RELEASE:  2009
STYLE CODE: 136064 141
MATERIALS: The entire white upper is leather, with the cement print being suede/nubuck.
COMES WITH:  Flat white laces.
STREET VALUE: $250
