Nike 08' Year of the Dunk?

In 2007...Nike called itself paying homage to the Air Force One by dedicating the entire year to the shoe's 25th anniversary. The anniversary was celebrated with Nike releasing tons of Air Force Ones in wack ass colorways...one after the next after the next. Save for a few good drops (Bobbito Hi's anyone?), in my opinion it was a disaster!

Now for 2008...Nike plans on doing the same thing to another of it's most popular shoes, the Dunk. This year, Nike is dedicated to showing the history of the Dunk and spotlighting some of it's best colorways. That's the good part...here's the bad. Nike plans to drop hordes of awful colorways (the more multi the better) for everyone to purchase...nasty ass leather tongues and all. They've even given out special ugly colorways to certain cities. (New York, Los Angelos, Chicago etc...) The only good colorways I've spotted so far were the "Be True To Your School" pack, but Nike ruined this also by making it a limited release and giving each shoe an old "distress" look. WHY?!!!!

Oh well, money saved by me. By the way, here are some pics of a few Dunks that I already own. Nice simple but classic colorways...done right! (Mesh tongues on all of them ya'heard me!)

Nike...You figure it out!!!
