I was a Dunks head early 2000s and used to get clowned for wearing them . Fast foward to 2020 and Dunks are some of the most coveted sneakers around lol. Funny how much style changes.
Some additional knowledge for everyone. Air Jordans have an encapsulated Air unit in the heel, hence Nike Air, where Nike Dunks do not have any air in the footbed. That loop on the back of Dunks is OG when they would loop laces through when they balled back in the day.
One of my fave sneaker youtubers, straight to the point and articulate without being a snob. Sounds like a dude I could just go up to and ask about sneakers without him rolling his eyes at me. Thanks for explaining this because these shoes really do look the same to a beginner
@@BrFakeBoy lol bro i dont care how much you think you know someone walking thru the mall with both these on...most people wont realize...and i know you not a real sneakerhead get off DJ nuts son
I have not seen your channel before until now, but man I love your whole intro, the whole first minute of the video makes me like you and keep watching
The premium Dunk hi models are great value for money. However the recent general release hi’s (vast grey, football grey, team red) are trash, very bad material and I would take any J1 high over them.
Thanks for making this video. I'm not a sneakerhead at all and just like the aesthetic of the nike sneakers. I know the dunks generally seem harder to get but tbh i think i like the jordans better. Think i'm going to try and grab the AJ 1 lows in a neutral colour.
@@DaRoachDog so i got a pair of AF1's but theyre a bit too wide for my foot. They also look really clunky on me because i'm a woman with big feet. They're super comfy but i just cant pull them off, i feel like i'm wearing orthopedic shoes whenever i've tried to wear them. So needless to say theyre listed on my poshmark lol I've also kind of given up on scoring some dunks and jordans for now. I am on the hunt for some nice casual sneakers to wear with jeans but i dont feel like jumping through hoops to get shoes.
DUNK all day long! And the most favourite colorway of mine, which sadly is impossible to find new nowadays, the Euro Champs Sweden. They also happen to be a nice take on the Ukrainian flag colours, which is where I'm proud to be from. Wore it for 5 years straight, back in the day, and they were holding on extremely well until I lost them while moving house (pretty much beaten up completely by then). The side view of the sole, the lines, the flaps - everything just screams at me compared to the J1s, which I've also had, but was never too passionate about.
I was paying I was gon see a comparison wearing the shoes but other than that I got a good understanding on what they look like compared to the Jordan 1s OG high
ur opinion does matter because it helps the person get more info and a better perspective of the shoe before buying them. People like you can save other people money or ensure their money is well spent.
@@ghoodbhabie2558 thank you but I was just saying. I just honestly think SBs are just more comfortable I think cause it was specifically made for skaters.
The difference in the shape makes the J1 superior. Dunks seem to have a shorter toebox which makes them curl up at the front and crease heavily even after the first wear. I have 7yr old 1s that look newer than the Dunks I've only worn twice. I have 4 pair of Dunks and will never buy Dunks again.
All my dunks creased so hard in that one toebox area. If it was the whole shoe then cool, but its just that big fold on the toe box that is an eyesore when the rest of the shoe is not creasing.
🧬🧬THIS IS THE DNA SHOW🧬🧬 DJ dropping STRAIGHT facts on this video. We might not like EVERY shoe but we definitely gotta RESPECT the classic OGs that made way for so many other shoes we love. Both of these are classic models with certain similarities but with notable differences and sooo much HISTORY 🔥🔥 Personally, the HEEL and overall SHAPE of the DUNK HIGH just doesn’t do it for me. I appreciate the shoe, but I’ll choose the JORDAN 1 HIGH
Thank you for this. I’m getting into sneaker collecting and it is a little confusing at first but this helped A LOT! Thank you, just gained a new subscriber!
Big tip go on eBay and mercari for sneakers I like basketball so I buy a lot of currys there for like 30-40 but I found a Jordan 1 David letterman’s for 76 dollars
The loop on the back is for having them tightened tight for ballin and wrapping the laces through them. Also used for hanging them up too but who the hell hangs up their sneakers
I personally like the look of Jordans a lot more. I'm getting my first pair of Air Jordan 1s for christmas and I'm super excited. (And yes, they are mids. Hate on me, I don't care.)
You can hang dunks from the back heel tab. It's useful if you have a stuffed ass backpack and need to bring an extra pair of shoes to the skatepark/basketball court
It was today I found out dunks an jordan 1's are not the same shoe. When I saw a dunk, I alway thought it was a jordan 1 (which im not intrested in, till I saw a specific colorway I liked, and went down this rabbithole)
Much prefer the chunkier silhouette of the dunks. And they broke in almost immediately. My air jordon still feels stiff like cardboard and no cushioning at all
Chris at Weartesters did the same type of video yesterday and broke it down to the science and technology. Look it up. Great channel just like this one.
I've owned dunks there nice for what ever reason i didn't get flamed for wearing them it was opposite people were feeling them and this was early mid 2000s guess it depends on the area your from
I'm new to collecting shoes and I saw the new nike sb unicorn gundam shoes and thought they were jordan ones but labeled wrong lol This video helped so much. Thank you!
I like the overall design of the AJ1 better and the fact that every variation whether low or mid does not compete with the High in this model. The Dunk High doesn't compete with the Low, in my opinion, but in saying that I don't have anything against it.
Jordan’s have air pockets and they’re wider so I like them better. But I do like dunk lows better than the Jordan lows. But SB dunks are wider so I like em better. It’s super confusing like Nikes color names.
2 years ago, i started finding dunks interesting and an alternative to the jordan 1s as i was just getting started to the sneaker game. 2 years ago, dunks were easily attainable, used or new it was always cheaper than jordans but now? man i wish i bought my first dunks 2-3 years ago
can you explain why the older version of nike dunk high especially the ones that were released back in the 80s, are higher than the retros? the old dunks silhouette looks taller and slimer kinda like air jordan 1 or terminator...and one more question, does nike still releasing dunk with the OG silhouette? i used to wear triple white nike dunk high back in 09' 12'... love the content bro
I love me my Air Max 90's, and I'm about to finally branch off and get me a pair of Jordan 1 highs. Thank you for your information. I of course have a pair of Dunk Sky Highs... Imma lady, had to have em' back in the day LOL
I honestly thought Air Jordan 1 was an original sneaker design. The way people say it was the sneaker that started it all I really thought it was a never seen before invention. The more you know. The other Jordans that followed are original designs though right?
Which is more comfortable to wear ? I’ve always gotten the 1s, but I just looked at the dunks right now , and they look like they’d be more comfortable to wear. Someone please let me know.
I don’t know bout AJ1. But Dunks are very comfortable. Especially suede sb dunks have a great feel. They really hug your feet. If you have wide feet I would go half a size up.
