Resellers Sat Through A Snow Storm To Secure A Pair Of “Montreal Bagel” Nike Dunks
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: SNKRS / NIke Nike Dunk Lows continue to be the hottest silhouette from the Swoosh out in these streets, but would you brave severe weather just to cop the latest pair? These heads would. On Tuesday (Jan. 17), Nike released the highly anticipated “Montreal Bagel” Nike Dunk Low, and to ensure they’d get a pair, a few resellers in Montreal, MN lined up outside a sneaker spot during a snowstorm because sneakers are indeed life, and getting a small profit on the secondary market is apparently more important than your well-being.

Though the Dunks with the sesame seed print on the base sold out instantly, resale pr...

Word?! Complex is reporting that the next installment of Nike Dunks will resemble the colorways of the flavors that Jarritos offers and truth be told, they go hella hard. Too bad these are “unofficial” mockups of what to expect but if the kicks resemble anything like what’s been leaked, these are going to be grails in certain hoods and barrios. The coming Jarritos x Nike SB Dunk Low represents the gradual shift in strategy for Nike’s skateboarding division when it comes to collaboration partners. In SB’s early days, it would work on shoes with more subcultural ti...

Woman Shanked Outside Foot Locker Over Nike Dunks
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Supreme / Supreme Apparently, traveling with weapons while attempting to cop highly-coveted sneakers is a thing. A woman was stabbed outside a Los Angeles Foot Locker while waiting to cop a pair of Nike Dunks. Some back story, the Nike Dunk was first released in 1985, and the poor man’s Air Jordan 1, no shots, quickly gained popularity thanks to the multitude of colorways they were released in. Throughout the years their demand has gone up and down depending on if skaters were rocking them (see: Nike Dunk SB’s) and if Nike was dropping retros. Over the last couple of years, though, they’ve again risen in popularity, with new colorways routinely selling out within minutes of becoming available. So for a recent release of Nike Dunks, there was a line outsid...

Offspring Apologizes For Destroying Sneaker Boxes At Their Store
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike / NIke To help deter sneaker resellers and ensuring that actual sneakerheads get their hands on coveted kicks on release day, stores have done everything from limiting purchases to one per person to having customers actually wear recently purchased sneakers out the store. But sneaker boutique, OFFSPRING in the UK might’ve gone a bit overboard recently when they had employees literally crush the sneaker boxes of the Nike “Ambush” Dunks to keep them from making their way to the secondary market. To add insult to injury, the box was actually discarded and the sneakers were placed in a plastic bag and given to customers. The clip of an employee jumping all over sneaker boxes drew much criticism from social media. While the idea is, well, creative, many a...

Maybe it’s to commemorate the $50 that Virgil donated to the Protest Bail funds last summer during the Black Lives Matter movement that saw countless protestors arrested for marching during the George Floyd protests. We kid we kid. Don’t blacklist us from the SNKRS app, Nike, please. Well, we lowkey kinda feel that way ever since the “Draw” system took over the app. Thanks a bunch, Joe Hebert. SMH. Back to the kicks. Dubbed the “Dear Summer” collection, each sneaker feature the same white and grey color bock for the base, each pair will feature different co...
