If you have been buying the recent releases, you must know what I am talking about. The Dunk Low wave started in 2020 and is still going strong but is it really worth spending on?

UNLV was one major GR Dunk that hooked Indians to dunks and moves them away from AJ1 Lows. The quality was okay-ish but at that time we didn't have any reference point because dunks didn't come to India. Fast forward to May 2021, we have seen too many dunk releases to tell that the quality is shit.

Its sister vertical, SB Dunk on the other hand is still maintaining its fine quality, you can tell you are holding something premium. Their collabs are superior too, for example, upcoming P-Rod ‘What the’.

As an investor and a collector, I strongly recommend start buying SB Dunks instead of regular GR Dunks. Better quality leather means a better life too.
