The series of Off-White Dunk Lows only exacerbated the trend, but it was Travis Scott’s rising celebrity that breathed new life into SBs.īeyond just Scott-who himself is a noted SB Dunk enthusiast who regularly wears some of the rarest models to date-the entire Cactus Jack camp began lacing up SBs, from Chase B to Bloody Osiris all culminating with the release of the Nike SB Dunk Low “Cactus Jack”. From 1985 “Be True to Your School”-series' “Michigans” to 2003 “Brazil” Dunk Lows, shoes that, for years, no one cared about were suddenly appearing on collectors' feet and mood board feeds. In large part due a renewed interest in mainline Nike Dunks courtesy of one Virgil Abloh, collectors once again began seeking out vintage models, SB included.
Largely sidelined in favor of retro JordanĪnd Yeezy releases, the SB market imploded and even the most noteworthy releases-Jeff Staple’s “reverse Pigeon” Dunks or Concepts' latest “Lobster”-barely received any buzz or aftermarket value. As recently as 2016, SB Dunks were essentially worthless, with noted collectors offloading infamous pairs for little over retail, a fraction of what they sold for just a few years prior. Lusted after for years and just as suddenly cast aside in the 2010s, SB Dunks were the ugly stepchild of the sneaker world, considered Grails by some and heinous by far more. The Nike SB Dunk resurgence is one of the most interesting recent developments in hypebeast-dom. ”Classic or Trash” is a recurring franchise highlighting a specific item and asking exactly that question: is it classic or trash? Granted, each member of the Grailed community is entitled to their own opinion, and while the Grailed editorial staff does its best to judge items objectively, we more than encourage you to disagree and sound off in the comments below.
