Nike Forbes SB
November 1st, 2007
Forbes… whatever happened to this shoe? What ever happened to SB’s? I feel like things have changed a lot in the last few years, and this whole thing is an ill bellwether. Floorpunch played a Breakdown song last sunday and no one knew it. People wear those weird new SBs everywhere with jeans skinnier than 2 sticks… I’d rather see my pizza on the floor than SB’s on my feet but I’d be a liar if I said I wouldn’t lay down for this shoe. This is still an unattainable shoe. I’ve had friends and well wishers rock some first series SBs, I’ve had some rare Jordans on my feet, and I know a guy called Jay Bil, but Forbes, probably only Forbes, and maybe Denims, are the Grace Kelly of Nike Dunks. Though I don’t think you see em unless you either work in Royal Elastics’ office or live in LA and like to go get lunch.
These shoes’ prices keep rising to the point that they’re unwearable. I’ll wear a pair of DS blacktoes to a black label society concert, but you wear these and theyre still Dunks. Theyre still being rocked here there and everywhere. But at the same time.. these are so fly dude. So much cooler than the Unforbes, too. Some guy in my italian politics class rocked the Unforbes on the regular, and thats my opinion.
