is this the best retro of the year?

[@DaveSteeleTheBlindPoet]

Got my pair and absolutely love them. As an almost 50 year old who grew up on real hip hop these had to be in the collection

[@DaveSteeleTheBlindPoet]

Just need the De La Soul dunks to re release

[@ajwalz21]

Got mine in too and they are 🔥. Very pleased to have them on hand.

[@clarkejw]

Same 100%, exactly! I'm 50 and still love the Wu till this day! :-D

[@mhp.most.highs.protection]

Nah you gotta put the money out for those. SB isn't going to retro dunks if you ask me. Maybe the general releases. ​@DaveSteeleTheBlindPoet

[@oglaceddrug]

I took the L and now I’m in hesitation mode lol .. I know that most of the people reselling these don’t want to be stuck with them.. guys from GenX not paying too much resale for these .. at least I don’t think I will pay a high resale price.. salute to who all got the “W” 👐🫡

[@Ermatinger503]

The original releases are still going to be worth their weight in gold, so I don’t get why people get so bent over them retroing stuff like this. They’re not the same anyways. Got mine from the final boss about 30mins ago. So good. Cant believe I hit my size 12 on SNKRS

[@TheVegPie]

Anyone dumb enough to pay for the original releases isnt going to wear them lol

[@blockwearingman]

gonna buy them on goat personally

[@eizenga]

Hit it out the park man. This release was awesome so glad I gave my pair delivering today- any minute in fact!

[@thestreetsevangelist]

I would never pay 60K for a pair of kicks! I don't care if I had the money, it's never that serious!!! As a native New Yorker from The Bronx I came up listening to Wu-Tang, Nas, Rakim, etc. and to me most people in the sneaker culture just want to make money from sneakers and can care less about the history of anything. Much love to anyone who just likes to get dressed and look good with some dope kicks on!

[@pattonPwr]

My sneaker of the year … never thought I would ever own a pair and I’m sooooo happy for retail

[@dustinsandoval334]

ditto. wu tang forever

This is my first time seeing a review… I’m here for the certified classic hood banger !

2:50 it's just Nike knowing your SNKRS account and gives you GOT THEM all the time 😅

[@TheGoldinChannel]

THEY ARE FIRE IN HAND OMG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@peanutbutterwaltz]

The AM 90 bacons had the same box. Similar type of release

[@bid9339]

Only 2 stores in whole of Straya had them. 10 entries through as many friends as I could muster and got 1 W. Grew up on Wu so I’m very pleased to have them. You know what I wanna hear, right? Whatchu wanna hear? I wanna hear that Wu-Tang joint Wu-Tang again? Ah, yeah, again and again

[@TheChapter10]

I hit on the SNKRS app UK 2 mins in sold out 35 mins after, these are 🔥, and the simple packaging is perfect nothing too flashy just simple, it's so iconic, I'm 50 and yea so happy to have these. I can end my sneaker collection with this one lol.

[@G59Loser]

the new intro goes so hard

[@Carlthulhu]

Took about 10 seperate L's on these through various sites and raffles. Even lost on last night's wu tang store drop. They are NOT easy to cop. Not for a canadian at least. Sold out within seconds everywhere in the country.

[@wilsonmorales3382]

People always have something to talk shit about a box is a box I wear the shoe but the box people always expect more

[@bloodshot6]

Agreed, they could have done something additionally special and perhaps even include special mixtape CD or digital download with it.

[@sydneyperryman7894]

YESSIR special everything about them, especially for less than 150😊👍 Honey inner heal lining? Beautiful 😍❤️ (the ones that are here !😂)

[@jissanhuq3792]

I only went for it on Snkrs only too grew up on Wu Tang, not pretending i was a superfan but definitely listened to the group n all the members projects. In my 40s i could care less how rare they are but double nostalgia between the shoe n the group. I got the rtJ dunks for the same reason.. the value is my own.

[@leov.3058]

Bring back the pigeon dunks! 🐦‍⬛

[@rgreenage]

Best review I have seen on these.

[@AnthonyJohnston1]

managed to grab 3 pairs for retail. im buzzin

[@michaelmann4742]

Love this yellow much better than the OG yellow. To me this is a more wearable yellow.

[@sendit6481]

Double up for me. Glad that resell isn’t super high. Long time WU fan 👐

[@m3rcuryslaboratory322]

I got a pair, but I think they just sewed the W on all the left over Iowa pairs, haha. Something about 'em tho. Still fire.

[@sydneyperryman7894]

Your right there's something about them!😊

[@aljamin45]

Maybe not the first review out of the gate on these... but definitely the best. I got my pair of these off the SNKRS app and I am well chuffed 😊

Whoops, my bad on the accidental thumps down. My thumps are too big to get the thumps up. One love. (Changed it asap to 👍🏾).

[@marcwatson2963]

What’s up Jordan quality review and great content as always. Waiting for my pair had to pay resell from eBay but hella worth it wanted these for 25 years since I first saw them back in the day. Nice choice of socks for a change😂 keep it real and ‘protect ya neck’ ✌️

[@Beetleejuicee]

That intro 🔥

[@monkmode2625]

I hope this opens the door for another Wu Tang and Nike collab with different colors. I think the reverse of this shoe would look tough like an elephant tusk. They should definitely improve the box details on the next one. I think the 36 chambers album photo on the inside of the CD jacket would be perfect for a box photo. Like what they did with Jordan’s photo on the Jordan 1 black toe reimagined box.

[@DaddySeed]

Never too late to drop a review. Just dropped mine today too. I love em!

[@RiserSAME]

Was stoked to cop these in nz

They need to bring back the MF DOOM- sb dunks out aswell that will be the icing on the cake for me Great shoe the wutang dunks i doubled up on mine worth every penny

[@mhp.most.highs.protection]

Ya"ll are reaching thinking sb is going to rerelease shoes bro.

[@riccardo_masut]

Must have.

[@oglaceddrug]

They should have had some Wu-Tang trivia to be able to cop these …. It’s amazing how many are on the resale market !!! That means that people bought them strictly for resale!!! NEWS FLASH: the people who actually want to wear these Dunk Hi Wu-Tang shoes, they don’t pay resale.. Wu-Tang is not a “hype beast” fan base 🤷‍♂️

[@jissanhuq3792]

That’s true n likely why these are not reselling high. Most wu fans are old

[@kobewone]

Guys ! Give me your energy for the final Boss Tomorrow please

“Interesting Wutang facts” lol me looking up facts before wearing these publicly 🤣

Lol i grew up in Connecticut in the United States and the one interesting fact for me is one of their songs, Raekwons’ Incarcerated Scarfaces gives us a shoutout.

[@GalacticTengu]

Interesting which countries release got the special boxes? Just USA?

“This is 60 grand.” - 2Js. Damn. It be like that.

[@williepartner2343]

Got em size 8

[@grapeeggplant3863]

If I'm being truthful, I was trying to flip these so I went for 4 raffles, all of which (thank God) I took Ls on. So no....these were not as easy to obtain as pretty much everyone is claiming. To put into perspective, the visty dunks were very limited all throughout and I got 2 pairs of those from verdy's gift shop.

[@fanplaster]

can't believe they got jordan young for this one

[@dallairforce1]

I don't care about the box. I'm gonna live in the now and wear the crap out of them and then toss them in the trash. LET YOUR FEET STOMP.

[@LukeJackandWill]

I don’t think they dug into the vault for a desperate measure. I’d be surprised if they make anywhere close to a profit margin like their standard line releases. This is for the heads! - but yes - copped them on the SNKRS app! 🎉

Where did you get your MF DOOM beanie?

[@freyrerealestate3202]

If you won the shoe and are complaining about the box, you shouldn’t have been awarded with said shoe.

[@oglaceddrug]

Not likely … they’re just trying to make a quick buck 😅

[@jissanhuq3792]

I think most are looking to either hold for nostalgia, collecting or a future flip. These will have some value down the line but for most it’s a trip down memory lane

[@mhp.most.highs.protection]

They really should be fans though. There's not one hot Travis Scott song, and every song on their debut is a banger.

[@fioredeutchmark]

3:51 😂 wtf are you taking about, the quality of the leather is trash. There’s no way you actually think that the quality of the materials are good and also simultaneously own New balance products. There’s no way. There are basic AF 550 colourways that have significantly better leather than these and retail for £100. Again theres actually no way you think this reconstituted, genuine, plastic covered nonsense is good leather. It’s just cope.

[@triniboy05]

They’re black and yellow dunk his with stitching on the heel 😐 they should’ve never commanded the “value” that they did.

[@oglaceddrug]

They only commanded that value, because they were never released to the public.. they were custom made for the Wu-Tang members only .. and none of the members would sell their pair .

[@MrGST360]

Tell us you took an L without telling us ..

[@oglaceddrug]

They’re ok. Not sure what i expected, but out of the box I was immediately underwhelmed.

they’re dunk highs… what did you expect? N they cost $150? The original was just as basic maybe worse tbh

[@jamesthegiantkilla]

My grail of all grails. When your an old boy like me and you followed WU most of your life these mean so much to have in hand. That logo holds so much weight

[@tarikqirem2870]

Good review, just needed to mention the Jordan 1 Pollens. Erm does anyone want to buy a pair of J1 Pollens? 😂🤔

[@scholesiefirsttime]

Actually prefer the shoes adidas came out with a fair few years back…..Method Man, Ghostface & Redman also had a line. Superstars, Stan Smiths & Forum Mids I think. They had more detailing and looked more collectible.

[@fioredeutchmark]

4:56 the black is also wrong. The black on the 2024 release is more like a dark slate rather than a true black. It’s the same colour they have used on multiple “PRM” (😂) dunks in the past 12 months. Another reason this release was fumbled hard. The leather on the OG’s is also full grain and has a nice grain and over time patina, so with the plastic printed tumbled nonsense on the new pair they look significantly worse overall with there being a distinct lack of authentic texture.

[@fioredeutchmark]

I really hope they don’t reissue the Deftones dunks now. I don’t want them to be ruined like these have been.
