Dunks have been a staple since the 80s, Pharrell popularized them in the early 2000s at the height of the street wear movement. I had all kinds of dunks including the original vintage black and white pandas they will be dropping soon. I gave them all away to my cousin, but I knew they would make a comeback and just like I thought and you are exactly right and Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner co-sign brought them back in the mainstream. I wish I would have kept all of mine. I still have a couple before they became popular and I recently got the retro reverse Panda. I will say the quality of them are not the same from years ago and I think the silhouette is shorter and the material is cheaper.

I wish I would have kept those Vintage Black and White Pandas because they looked really cool. I would love to come across the Tony Parker San Antonio Spurs Dunks as well. I copped those at the actual physical Flight Club NY store. We walked all morning to find it… this was before google maps and I’m from a small town in Oklahoma, trying to navigate the streets of Manhattan, so the hunt for them was sentimental. I did come across a pair of my all time favorites a few years ago, the The Destroyer High Supreme Black and White. I probably searched almost 15 yrs for them only to give them to my nephew and then he grew out of them, so I took them back, lol. I am searching for a pair of Nike Vandal Supreme Terminator Kyle Reese. I know they came out with them a few years ago and also dropped the premium Vandals.

It’s a scam if you are paying resale price but if you get a pair of Nike by you dunks I feel it’s worth it especially with the better materials

Never pay resale for Pandas, just create one with ID, they have much better quality.

@@WhatsTheHype.Landon exactly. In the US if you want Panda Dunks it’s either wait for release dates, which most likely you’ll take on L on, or go the resell route

Everything is cyclical, in a year or so people will move on to the next popular thing and these will be available everywhere, at least for awhile.

I have a pair of panda dunks myself, bought a fake pair obviously cause I’m not stupid nor rich. 50 for the fakes and they are 10/10.
