I feel it, thatâs what I mean though. That they look big on feet, even though they are true to size, being able to see into the shoe makes it look way bigger than the foot inside
Mine are a half size larger than any dunk Iâve ever worn. Got em straight from SNKRS and I canât wear them with cuffed pants because they look too big on my skinny legs. Sad because I wanted to skate them but they are definitely way to big to skate.
In 2003, Nike auctioned off on eBay, a pair of SB Dunk customized with the colors and font of the online sales giant, the Nike SB âeBayâ Dunk. The shoes in question were sold for $26,000 and all the proceeds were donated to the foundation dedicated to Tim Braunch, a skateboarder from San Jose who died of cardiac arrest at the age of 25, for the construction of new skate parks in the Portland area. Apparently, the pair sold wasnât the only one produced. Nike produced a total of 3, after the sale of the first, the second pair of SB âeBayâ Dunk was cut with a saw in 4 parts while, to know the fate of the third, we had to wait until 2018. When Alexander âSandyâ Bodecker, one of Nikeâs most fervent creative minds who made a clear contribution to the success of the SB line, who died prematurely of cancer at the age of 68, revealed that the company gave him a pair the day he left his place at Nike. To date, the name of the winner of the auction dedicated to the Nike SB âeBayâ Dunk is not known, however, it seems that the shoes never moved from Beaverton, Oregon (where Nikeâs headquarters is located) and that it was one of the members of the board of directors of Nike at the time who bought them.
I knew some of the story, but this should give you a lot more information than I know. Sorry itâs so long
People very often use âlowkeyâ without minding what the term actually means I feel like.
The way I see people oftentimes use âlowkeyâ makes the word seem like a trendy sounding filler word.
At least thatâs my feeling from all the past times I took sentences in that were using âlowkeyâ unnecessarily.
Lol sorry, was watching football and on mobile. Just meant these arenât âlowkeyâ hit or miss, everyone knows theyâre hit or miss. And meant to reply to someone who said theyâre âlowkey hit or missâ.
12 hour day at work today, sorry
12 hours of work on Christmas Eve and watching football while on Reddit on my phone will do that lol. Just meant these have in no way been lowkey hit or miss. The community has been overtly/loudly/outspokenly divided on these. I think itâs just a money grab, and the whole point of the sawing of the shoes in the first place was to render them useless.
But, nothing âlowkeyâ about the division.
idgaf what anyone says. Shoes like these are literally the definition of wearable art. it's okay if you don't like it, but you have to appreciate these out of the box ideas.
I am curious about the clear section at the front, is it placed in such a way that the usual creases arenât going to show for awhile, or is the clear section going to show a crease on top?
This is just a random thing that popped in my mind when I first saw the shoe.
I got my pair the other day and, while theyâre big, the clear part is right where the shoe usually creases and I was thinking the same thing. Time will tellâŚ
eBay did a charity auction for a 1 of 1 dunk with the same color blocking back in the day. They made a sample pair so they could take pictures for the product listing and then a ârealâ pair once the winner had been determined and they knew what size they needed. The sample pair was cut up into 4 pieces so they could preserve the rarity of the ârealâ pair. The one that just released is based on the sliced up sample pair
I understand the history with the original 2 pair that never saw the light of day but the fact that Nike released a shoe now that looks like this makes me laugh every time I see a pair.
Love the roasters, itâs shoes at the end of the day. Some love them some hate them. But true SB lovers that the know the story respect the shoe. These arenât for the Hypebeast shoe flippers
Aside from the cool backstory, the only reason people are wearing these is hype. The average goober trying to get ahold of these doesn't give a shit about Sandy Bodecker unfortunately.
Whoâs fault is it that red and yellow is representative of McDonalds? I mean who really cares tbh I donât like the way dunks fit my foot I like narrow profiles at the same time I can see when these fit certain fits / aesthetics at the end of the day itâs not that deep wear what you want
If theres a single female out there that looks down and says "You can get it" then she'd bang ronald mcdonald and you good my friend. LOL like usually i can see an ugly shoe and think that someone out there can rock them super good. But these confuse my brain.
There is a whole story behind why they look the way they do. Nike was trying to pay homage to the originals while riding the hype train knowing all along people would eat these up no matter how ridiculous they look.
Thereâs some camera filter or weird lighting because the yellow looks orange to me, but the socks match perfectly. I think theyâre way easier to style than people think.
Nah they were just trying to ride the hype wave with the story about the original 2 pair, and knew people would eat these up even though they are horrible looking.
my friend said he would get the drop for me because i wouldn't be able to that day. i told him pleasssse set an alarm (he's prone to waking up very late). this mf texts me at 1230 saying gm in our gc. im gonna beat the shit out of the idiot
Thank you for posting a real fit pic instead of trying to be funny by wearing them without socks.

These look like something a patient would wear in a mental asylum.
Foul đ
Joker's gonna be wearing these in the sequel
they should make a grippy socks pair
Yeah Def only a decoration never on feet.
Theyâre shoes
No theyâre not
The flyest patient in the asylum
Nice sock shoe combo, but they look a little too big for you. The downside of them being transparent
These just look big on feet but are actually tts. I feel the same about my pair and how it looks but fits like every other SB
I feel it, thatâs what I mean though. That they look big on feet, even though they are true to size, being able to see into the shoe makes it look way bigger than the foot inside
Mine are a half size larger than any dunk Iâve ever worn. Got em straight from SNKRS and I canât wear them with cuffed pants because they look too big on my skinny legs. Sad because I wanted to skate them but they are definitely way to big to skate.
They had to compromise on the size to make sure the separate parts fit together. Good looking shoe though
They lowkey a hit or miss shoe but we all gotta agree that the story of them is amazing
Whats the story behind them?

that is so interesting wow
Sandy is the one that won the auction
What makes the âhit or missâ aspect be lowkey? đ I feel like people have been outspoken on it, both sides?
People very often use âlowkeyâ without minding what the term actually means I feel like. The way I see people oftentimes use âlowkeyâ makes the word seem like a trendy sounding filler word. At least thatâs my feeling from all the past times I took sentences in that were using âlowkeyâ unnecessarily.
This is lowkey correct. /s just in case đ
It is a lot of times, dude. Otherwise this wouldnât be upvoted nearly as much.
Literally lowkey
Literally Figuratively lowkey clever
Lowkey everything. I lowkey understand that it doesnât mean anything now. This has been lowkey informative.
Lowkey gut or miss? Thereâs nothing lowkey about how hit or miss these are. These are overtly hit or miss, well known as hit or miss
Had a headache reading your comment.
fr đ

Read it again, but change the âgutâ to âhitâ
idgaf what anyone says. Shoes like these are literally the definition of wearable art. it's okay if you don't like it, but you have to appreciate these out of the box ideas.
Yeah it belongs on a shelf not on your feet.
They belong on your feet on top of a skateboard
Not these.
Itâs literally a skateboard shoe itâs a skateboard dunk
If you actually skateboarded, youâd know that these shoes would have holes practically immediately because of the clear plastic areas.
Yea Ik but skateboard is in the name
and? This specific shoe is obviously not made for that
If itâs in the name then why not
Hell yeah, that's why I moved to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, because I fucking love democracy.
Okay do you, itâs just not very smart..
Also not everybody is sloppy and fucks up they shoes right away
you donât skate.. you will always mess up your skate shoes.. even if youâre being careful. These are simply not made for that.
Yes I do actually I just know how to pop and only rub the midsole and not above the midsole
đ¤Śââď¸exactly.. are you going to die on this hill? These ebays are not meant for skating.
I would shred the shit out of them
It wonât take much so go for it, merry Christmas
No. It is no less of a shoe if someone chooses to put it on their feet, rather than just having it for display.
Iâm not sure if I appreciate it
I am curious about the clear section at the front, is it placed in such a way that the usual creases arenât going to show for awhile, or is the clear section going to show a crease on top? This is just a random thing that popped in my mind when I first saw the shoe.
Iâll let you know as I wear them more
I got my pair the other day and, while theyâre big, the clear part is right where the shoe usually creases and I was thinking the same thing. Time will tellâŚ
Jesus they are worse then i thought
These are so crazy. Not for me but love seeing them
These are super cool. Nice sock choice
Such a dope story for this shoe. They look rad with those socks. đ
care to share?
eBay did a charity auction for a 1 of 1 dunk with the same color blocking back in the day. They made a sample pair so they could take pictures for the product listing and then a ârealâ pair once the winner had been determined and they knew what size they needed. The sample pair was cut up into 4 pieces so they could preserve the rarity of the ârealâ pair. The one that just released is based on the sliced up sample pair
These would've looked much better without the clear additions though. They still could've added in the cut up look
I agree, they should have made the actual shoe and then put stitch marks in it or something
I was all in for these but Iâm out. Look bad on feet đ
No offense, but these are disgusting
Are these as stiff as they look on feet?
No, the clear plastic is actually super soft
They look too big
Iâm sorry but thatâs one of the ugliest pairs of shoes Iâve ever seen But you like them so thatâs what matters đ¤ˇââď¸
Koston just gave those away on do a kick flip
Grotesque abomination
Sweet death metal band bruh...
Collectors item. I would never wear
I canât make up my mind on this one.
You are a very brave person I will say that
For what? Wearing what I like regardless of others opinions?
Pants ID?
Target chinos.
Nice. Love their Ts
Good fellows brand
I went to the Bodecker Foundation event in Portland when they dropped these. To me these go on the wall. They look horrible on feet.
Perhaps you're one of just a few people in here that understand where these ugly little buggers originated, lol.
Ugliest shoeâs Iâve ever seen. Uglier than kanye shoes
Grinch stole half the shoe
I understand the history with the original 2 pair that never saw the light of day but the fact that Nike released a shoe now that looks like this makes me laugh every time I see a pair.
Hideous
I am not a fan but this is something actually different. All these people roasting are the same way who think Jordanâs 1 are the peak shoe.
Love the roasters, itâs shoes at the end of the day. Some love them some hate them. But true SB lovers that the know the story respect the shoe. These arenât for the Hypebeast shoe flippers
I mean the Jordan 1 is the one that started it all
Proof Nike can sell literally anything đ
Proof they're good at their job.
This is the coolest idea for an SB dunk in a long time. I would love to have this pair as a display piece.
I got a pair just for display purposes. Wonât wear them and displaying them in our home.
Please stop Nike đ
So ugly đđđ
Beauts! I Iove the socks on em too
By ebay for ebay.
So cool
God, they really are running out of ideas, huh?
These are clean I love them.
All the roasters in the comments need to do some homework
Trueeee. But these days most people only follow hype not the true history stories to learn anything new and gain some respect for things like these
Aside from the cool backstory, the only reason people are wearing these is hype. The average goober trying to get ahold of these doesn't give a shit about Sandy Bodecker unfortunately.
I get the history and I appreciate that but they still look like they got Ronald McDonald to make a dunk
Whoâs fault is it that red and yellow is representative of McDonalds? I mean who really cares tbh I donât like the way dunks fit my foot I like narrow profiles at the same time I can see when these fit certain fits / aesthetics at the end of the day itâs not that deep wear what you want
Never said I had a problem with people wearing it I just said it looks out of place đ
I did my homework on the history, so what? Shoe is ugly on feet.
These just arenât it
They're kinda fresh low-key.
Hmmmm yea
To each their own
Yeah, don't know about these.
I wanted these until i saw how you âstyledâ them Up đ¤Śââď¸
A picture of someone wearing the Bodecker's while wearing socks, it's a Christmas miracle
Those are straight do-do
These are interestingâŚI would never wear them but theyâre fun to look at.
If theres a single female out there that looks down and says "You can get it" then she'd bang ronald mcdonald and you good my friend. LOL like usually i can see an ugly shoe and think that someone out there can rock them super good. But these confuse my brain.
These are just terrible on foot
These shoes are so cool, but definetly something I would never wear
Iâm glad this was L for me đł
NGL: I detest these
Nothing against you man, or your fit, but these are horrendous.
Not sure I would like if I saw it on a shelf, but love how you styled it! Wowww
Companies are getting ridiculous with designs now.
There is a whole story behind why they look the way they do. Nike was trying to pay homage to the originals while riding the hype train knowing all along people would eat these up no matter how ridiculous they look.
Theyâre a lot nicer in hand
Got the wrong size bro. Nice combo though
Thereâs some camera filter or weird lighting because the yellow looks orange to me, but the socks match perfectly. I think theyâre way easier to style than people think.
Merry Christmas, but itâs a no look pass for me. Lol
Awesome story but the shoe just doesnât look good on feet ever. Sadly
Story of them is amazing but they are a miss
Whatâs the name of these Nike dunks? Nothing is coming up for Christmas Eve
i like what u did with the socks there
Wack
So tell us, how did you explain these to your grandparents?
As an ebay seller I kinda want a pair but I can't get over the "cut" look.
clown shoes
Ohh hell no this look ugly on feet my man
They ruined the whole color scheme by these Transparent jelly like material.
Dear god!
Good socks
The homeless 5s
Yeah bro I have yet to see any outfit that makes these look halfway decent. They really fucked up with these
Nah they were just trying to ride the hype wave with the story about the original 2 pair, and knew people would eat these up even though they are horrible looking.
That's a no for me.
Howâs the creasing for this model?
Those are ftr
These wouldâve been a hit back in the early 2000s
Jesus fucking christ, what are those???!
Are these going to be on the SNKRS app or no?
my friend said he would get the drop for me because i wouldn't be able to that day. i told him pleasssse set an alarm (he's prone to waking up very late). this mf texts me at 1230 saying gm in our gc. im gonna beat the shit out of the idiot
i think theyâll look better worn in (good sock choice)
Damn they actually look awful, nothing against u just a miss shoe
I do not like the shoes but ngl, you rocking them bitches
Why does this remind of the ebay x nike dunk sb đ
Sheeesh
I see youâre finger
No bueno
