I know we are all pining over the days of yore when Dunks were easier to purchase...like 13 years ago up until like 6 months ago...that was called a ‘lull’ in the marketplace. IMO it hit a lull because they were doing too much. I know I told y’all I been collecting for 25+ years, but truth be told I never really looked at it as ‘collecting’ until around 2003/2004. And that’s because in 2003/2004, Dunk hype was at a fever pitch and they tapped into the ‘baseball card’ notion of randomization and limited editions...dudes were trippin over themselves hitting every skateshop in the big cities trying to make a comeup on a newly released SB...they’d line up for blocks just for the chance to cop a random pair that they hadn’t even seen pictures of. And the numbers were manageable.
