ide have to go with the vapors because it came out almost the same time as the tiffany diamonds and the hype on them overshadowed the vapors

barfs, ghosts, fogs, vapors

i love fogs.


looking for some in an 8.5


no offense....but justo has asian feet

I have to agree with the vapors.

Purple Pigeons.... they go for 100-150 when they are really clean and should be more hyped even though they were gr

cosign i love my fogs, they're really beat up though. wish i had a new pair.


i think Bruts are really underated. People don't like them, but i got 2 pairs haha

Vapors, mochas, paul urichs, and neptunes

I'd have to say Ghosts and High Hairs.

vapors.. fogs.. and purp pigeons

i agree, vapors get no attention

What are the most overrated nike SB in your opinion?

Pigeons.... 2000 bucks for a simple colorway shoe, never would pay that much or anywhere near that much

same here. pigeons are a waste of money.

but you also have to think of how limited it is and how hard to get the sneaker is.

i personally have to say its the tiffanys diamonds. yes there a b-e-a utiful shoe but way to hyped up and i see them everywhere

urichs are a great shoe. people really slept on them. it will grow on everyone in a few years. for some reason they remind me of unkles. maybes because of the black toebox

^cosign on the tiffs

copped a pair recently.. love them

i would have to agree that the prpl pigeons are underrated.. as well as the bruts. i skate sbs all day, from my favorite mids to true reds, and soon to be jedis, the bruts are by far the best shoe to skate in. it could be the all suede/nubuck comebo at the toe, the fat tongue and ridiculous colorway (for some reason this season ive been all about green or red clothes)... maybe its just me. anyway, the black sole is a plus w the creamy greyish white mid sole, grn upper and white contrast stitching, the killer metallic swoosh and the ultra hard black flaps, or maybe its the shiny silver Nike SB label at the tongue or the nubuck supported heel. well. everything just works together but thats just me.

most overrated sb id say would be.... the what the dunks. personally i was in NY to cop a pair, being a skate in general but i swwear the shoe game has been out of hand. its ridiculous for people to cop just to resell. i mean. ok i respect the hustle but damn. why cant some of the core skater/fans of nike deserve a pair? 1200-1700 is just too much to pay :T

I agree, thats just crazy. Personally, not very overrated but over-priced, the Tokyo city series dunk, $1,000 for a plain white canvas shoe, with no tags or anything. If I wanted some Tokyo's, I'd just buy some Sandlewoods, bleach them completely white, take the tags off and unstuff the tongue and that'd be close enough for me.

Tiffs aswell.
