These were the first SBs I ever saw. This was around the time that they came out and I knew I needed them. I'm cheap and late to the SB party, so I'm really not planning on buying them at inflated prices but I suppose I will just admire them from afar. Like one might admire the woman who is too good for them but they just can't give her up.
First of all, these shoes are apparently a bit darker in person, not that I have ever seen them in person. In fact, few have seen these in person at all because there were only like 150 made. I read that there were people who walked out of the store with them and got immediately jumped. Worth it. I am also a sucker for themed shoes, so my affinity for these is pretty obligatory.
I like dark shoes, is it because I tend to get my shoes dirty? Probably. I hate shoes with black soles with a burning passion, but the cool thing about most SB soles is the midsole being guarded by the colored bottom sole. All black SBs tend to not be the best looking ones though so the gold and white offset it nicely. I don't want these entries to sound like reviews so I'm going to stop here. They are pretty cool though.
I really shouldn't have to say why these are cool. Shadow the Hedgehog, Reaper, Ryuko, Dante. This shoe is all of your favorite edgemasters all rolled into one comfy looking SB. As much as I like these, I'm not even sure I could pull them off, I might cut myself on all that edge.
What can I say about these ones? Well first, I can say thank you. Second, I can say that they really stand out among the other SBs. The red part of the inside lining is the smoothest thing ever felt on a shoe, smoother than your grandmother's expensive blanket that you weren't allowed to use under penalty of death, you know the one. The Crocodile/Gator skin looks awesome and as far as I know, is unique among the low dunks. It perfectly suits a person who happens to live in the state of gators. I don't mean that I live in Florida though, I just mean I live in a constant state of gator. I'm an alligator. Help.
Sushi on your feet. Not quite as fun as sushi in your mouth but theres never a time when I'm not down for some salmon. These shoes are sick, but not salmonella. Dad jokes aside, These might be one of my favorite pairs of SBs. The bottom sole looks like it is actually made of salmon and the rest of the shoe all fits together perfectly in an aesthetic way and also in a thematic way, with the salmon pattern, the salmon meat bottom sole, and the fish scale check that could also be a fishing net depending on how you look at it. These shoes are perfect. That makes two sea creature lows on this list, will there be another?
