Dunks. Clean or dirty?

[sneakerhead650]

I heard from a few people that dirty dunks look better and i agree too. What do you supertalkers think?

[ge0ffzilla]

I prefer my shoes to be clean. But a lot of people on here prefer their shoes to be slightly dirty.

[Carl]

Shoes always look better dirty, except when they have suede on them.

[sean_]

yea, but bright yellow suede shoes with wine puke all over them look pretty fucking cool (until people find out its wine puke)

and in response to the question, it all depends on the dunk

[shagnscoob]

it for sure depends. some of those really limited dunks would look even worse if they got dirty, but some of the plainer ones look amazing when they get trashed.

well for example,

my friend has a pair of those and they look great crisp. so yea.

like shag said, i think basic, like 2 tone dunks look great dirtied up

[jasonm]

it all depends on the shoe, a lot of vans for example almost look better slightly beat.

in regards to Dunks, or nikes on a whole i believe they look best clean, but i think its retarded how much effort people put into pussy footing around keaping sneakers fresh, they're gunna get dirty, plus all nikes are washing mashine safe.

[notesee]

Personally I like my sneakers to look crisp.

But I feel like my Vans Chukkas are designed to be dirty, every little thing seems to scuff up the soles, even after only having em for a month some of the Vans logo on the back is fading off.

They get beat pretty fast, so I'ma just let nature run it's course on em

[stillthehorror]

i've kept most of mine clean.

but the girl i've been seeing has a couple of pairs which are dirty and i think its sexy in its complete un-hypebeastiness.

all vans get beat fast. not necessarily beat, but at least the soles get scuffed/dirty on the first wear no matter what, its happened with every single pair ive ever owned

[masuerte]

The only dunks that look bad to me dirty are the patent leather ones.

Only nikes I ever bought (and kept buying as perfect unisex presents for the fam) are the considered line for the reasont that they'd age beautifully:

it also helps that they're somewhat more environmentally sustainable.

[1995chardx]

Vans- i like em slightly dirty

Nike- i keep em as clean as possible, i like it better, plus they look better clean

[naturaljax]

I've got these dunks

and they just look better and better the older they get.

I think these were designed to be this way, though.

Otherwise, I like mine to be pretty clean, except my Converse and my Vans.

I like those beat to shit.

[ge0ffzilla]

Am I the only person here that likes their true white slipons to remain true white for as long as possible? Even though it's virtually impossible for very long..

[rocker4life]

both..really depends on the fabric of the model

[red]

only because i hate when kids buy 300 dollar shoes and walk like they got shit in thier pants because theyre scared of creases. theyre shoes for gods sake.

[damnIam]

White shoes gotta be clean. Dark shoes look ok with alittle wear. Real dirty, I just don't like it.

[poly800rock]

i beat all my shoes to death now

[SelfEXplanatory]

depends on the dunk...most dunks dont look all that good beat

Jordans look great with slight wear...especially from 1-7

[rhythmandsound]

depends on the dunk...most dunks dont look all that good beat

delete 'beat' and you're onto something

[poly800rock]

if we're all taking cues from the japanese, then just wear your shoes to death and sell them on ebay in a year.

[cheapmuthafukr]

basic dunks look better dirty. those super limited crazy multicolored ones dont.... not because they look better clean either...

i like mine with holes in the side and toe, maybe some different leather shoe-gooed inside for a repair.

My buddy has those too, his are shot, but still look dope.

Nope, you are not alone. I try and keep all my shoes clean. I don't mind the natural scuffs and the heel dirt from driving etc., basically the natural "patina" you get from wearing them. I just can't stand stains and tears. I really don't care for shoes that are filthy w/ big ass holes. Get some new joints for cryin' out loud! That shit looks sloppy.

[LetsGetSerious]

well for example,

if youre wearing those youre fucked either way.

[Lars]

Dunks look good after the white midsole have turned grayish from dirt. I like dunks (not the multicolored ones though).

[mlproject]

i only have a couple pairs that i still wear regularly and they're both thrashed. i think they look better beat up, and if they're high tops with the wings down.

[Guest doubletap]

all shoes look better beat. creased toeboxes and all.

[arem]

I guess I'm in the vast minority here, but I hate bummy kicks. To me the only sneakers that look good beaten are Chucks, otherwise I just prefer the FOTB look. If you grew up in NYC in the mid-80's it's in your DNA...
