David, please keep doing these videos, as someone trying to understand the origin and meaning behind designs and learning more about Sbing in general I always look forward to your vids. this was a great watch
@DavidBluetile just hearing from the people behind the design in the interview you style you have started doing is awesome. no one else does it so keep doing it for us dude ✌🏻👊🏻👏🏻
Shout out to Donavan for taking the time to explain the details. I have a newfound appreciation for the Pawnshop Dunk. The story of the significance of the Golden eyelet/gold ring is really cool. And the fact they are super premium leather to withstand wear and tear over time is music to my ears. Thank you, David for making this happen!
Opportunity popped up to grab these at retail and I am glad I did. Really impressed with them in hand. Walks a line of business casual that most dunks don't. Going to be a staple for when I am working in office. Felt true to size for me.
Thank you so much for David for doing this. I love hearing the stories behind these shoes. It means a lot. Total work wear vibe. I agree. The throwback build is so so good. I also love that it's a high SB dunk. I'm more of a high dunk lover honestly. Donovon is amazing for sharing the thought process. Keep up the stellar work. All the best. Gabby from DC!
been waiting on these for a solid minute, once they leaked I got extremely excited because of how much I love stopping by the shop, even remember a worker gave me free double tickets for wearing his favorite SBs to the FTC raffle. I stopped by on Sunday to get tickets from them and bought some gear and when they gave me the tickets they said im pretty much guaranteed a pair with the special box for Friday's release so now its a waiting game
Lucky to have got a W on this. Having grown up not too far from the shop, good memories on Citrus Ave, and finally getting into skateboarding last year, I love how this dunk came about and what it represents to them. Living in the UK now, it'll be nice to have a little piece of the SGV on foot and board over here. Awesome stuff, Pawnshop crew and the Piscopos!
@@DavidBluetile Thanks man! got hired by a video game company over here 12 years ago and still here. It definitely wasn’t for the weather 🤣 Wished I picked up boarding while I was back home, but better late than never!
@@DavidBluetile Much appreciated! Keep up the awesome work on the solid content, too! Will be back in So Cal on vacation next month, so it'll be dope to get these on board over there finally. 🛹🙌🏼
Happy to say I was able to secure a pair this morning :) thank you for this interview, the deep personal meaning behind the shoes just makes it so much better.
Pawnshop is such a dope shop. Anthony is a saint. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have had a chance at several SB’s. I hope I get a pair of these. So clean and that leather is pretty Af. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Any clue what quality the leather is? It’s at least a top grain leather, but I’m doubtful it’s full grain leather. The DC PJ Ladd in full grain leather was $160 USD retail compared to the suede versions around $110-$125. Emerica drops a full grain leather shoe about once a year. I love full grain leather boots and dress shoes, so we need more full grain leather skate shoes.
I’m not a leather expert but it does feel nice. More of a dress shoe/boot leather than a soft supple leather. I would love to learn more about materials like that but I’ve also been vegan most of my life so I never really pursued knowing that stuff. Now I would like to know more about it…. Even though I’d prefer shoes be made from cactus! Hah or something
@@DavidBluetile not like I used too because I’m 40 now lol. I’m more into snowboarding now. There’s a skate park across from my work and I was thinking maybe one day this summer just goin in and blessing someone
I think I did it in the jordan one video? It’s the same: you really just want to super glue the stitches. Nothing crazy. Just dabs on the threads. You can reapply after several sessions and then once the shoe is starting to me tattered you can be more liberal with it
I wasn't able to try these on so I'm not sure on this one. usually I do a fit guide in the community section. ill check to see if I remember to ask on this one.
@David Bluetile yea it's okay. I know with all my 3s, I'm a 10.5 comfortable, but Any jordan 1s lows and all the dunks 10.5 smoosh my toes pretty good so I generally do a size up to 11 and they are always just a bit bigger than I'd like, but better than having my toes murdered on one foot. I'd assume these would fall into like as well, but we will see. I don't see alpt of love for these, but I think they look really nice. The gold wings I could do without, but it's alright. They look super premium to me.
David, please keep doing these videos, as someone trying to understand the origin and meaning behind designs and learning more about Sbing in general I always look forward to your vids. this was a great watch
that is so nice Robert. I appreciate it. I intend on continuing and diving deeper. I wanna learn more about the whole process.
@DavidBluetile just hearing from the people behind the design in the interview you style you have started doing is awesome. no one else does it so keep doing it for us dude ✌🏻👊🏻👏🏻
thank you so much. Im so hyped on it. I hope I can continue to do it.

Dude thank you for all the appreciation. That makes me hyped!
Clean AF, Piscopo nailed it with these!
Hopefully they'll be as easy to get as the Faust dunks.
dude so crispy and clean.

thanks for the feedback. I love this pair as well. it's going to wear down really cool I think.
Thanks to you and Donovon for doing this interview. Top notch information as always, David! All the best from Dallas! 👏👏
thanks Colby!!

Sleeper drop. Materials and details are so good on this one. It reminds me why I love Nike SB so much.

No lie I just comped them at local skate shop as bricks quilty and in hand look is on point
@@Devan_Bolin dope! we had two people not pick up their raffle wins as well. Snapped em up on the wall of shame. haha

This is dope man, thank you for this video
Oh man! I’m glad you liked it. That’s only my second zoom interview so hopefully they’ll get better
Awesome shoe! Love the story behind it glad you were able to get some more history.
Dude yeah! I love the war boot vibe
Happy to say I was able to secure a pair this morning :) thank you for this interview, the deep personal meaning behind the shoes just makes it so much better.
that's sick! and thank you. if anyone deserves a dunk its those guys. stoked to hear their story.
Pawnshop is such a dope shop. Anthony is a saint. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have had a chance at several SB’s. I hope I get a pair of these. So clean and that leather is pretty Af. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
fingers crossed for you!
Definitely need a pair of those WAR BOOTS!
yes!!!! the freaking war boots! amazing.
Still patiently waiting on a “BlueTile” dunk 🙏🏻
💙💙💙💙💙
😍😍Yeah
Yessss
Such a dope video, skate culture is alive and well!!
aww man thank you. I'm stoked to have had the opportunity to talk to Donovon.
Love pawnshop they are literally 10 minutes from me. Get all of SB’s from them!
sick!! you'll have to tell them we said what's up!
These are so comfy. Best fitting dunk for me
That’s awesome! I love to hear it

This was such an enjoyable video to watch.
Dude. Wade. Thank you. I def want to work harder to make more videos like this so def next time you’re in the shop If you have any pointers
Great interview and story!!! Def a cop!!!!
thank you! gotta scoop the war boot! lol
@@DavidBluetile lol 100% cop!!
KooL interview Dave‼️
thank you thank you.
Bro this dunks are 🔥 🔥
Truth!!
I got a chance to meet him as I entered my raffle ticket and he was super nice and was expressive about the process. Hoping for that W
Really clean looking shoe!
They are!
Wasn’t Donovan on Zero during the Strange World era? I feel like he had a part in a Zero video around 2009-2011. It’s been a minute!
He might have been now that you mention it.
thx for the video dude, quite interesting.
thank you!
I was so happy people were sayin pass. I secured 2 pairs 🎉🎉
well hot damn! that's kinda sick. are you skating a pair?
@@DavidBluetile not like I used too because I’m 40 now lol. I’m more into snowboarding now. There’s a skate park across from my work and I was thinking maybe one day this summer just goin in and blessing someone
Still on the fence about this pair .. I like them but idk if I need them
that's fair. people don't need every pair but if you missed the Faust this is a solid pair you can dress up.
My best W are from this dope skate shop
Nice!
These are straight fiyyyaaahhh
yes yes! thanks!
Pair on order. Paid up alittpe bit, but not too terrible. Looking forward to them
heck yeah!
can you show us the super glue process on this shoe? thanks
I think I did it in the jordan one video? It’s the same: you really just want to super glue the stitches. Nothing crazy. Just dabs on the threads. You can reapply after several sessions and then once the shoe is starting to me tattered you can be more liberal with it

War boot 🔥
It warms my heart when people comment “war boot” hahaha for real.
If I could get them at retail I’m gonna use them for work
these aren't crazy hyped so I think its possible.
@@DavidBluetile well I live in an area with no skate shops so that makes it a little harder since I have to hope to win online raffles
Very nice
thanks for chiming in! always appreciated.
Just an overall very clean shoe very wearable
yeah exactly. very wearable. keep it clean or destroy it.
🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹
Ordered half size up this time. Most dunks fit real snug, didn't want that for these. Hoping they are consistent with that standard sizing
I wasn't able to try these on so I'm not sure on this one. usually I do a fit guide in the community section. ill check to see if I remember to ask on this one.
@David Bluetile yea it's okay. I know with all my 3s, I'm a 10.5 comfortable, but Any jordan 1s lows and all the dunks 10.5 smoosh my toes pretty good so I generally do a size up to 11 and they are always just a bit bigger than I'd like, but better than having my toes murdered on one foot.

They look super premium to me.
Lost out on every way to get a 13.. raffles, online. If Anyone can secure a 13 contact me .
dang! I heard they were a little easier to get. have you checked black sheep in NC?
@@DavidBluetile yup , lost that raffle.. Here's to ebay , resellers 😂
@@DavidBluetile 😍😊 got em .. love em in hand .. ✋️
I got a chance to meet him as I entered my raffle ticket and he was super nice and was expressive about the process. Hoping for that W
