Panda vs af1 hate #sneakers #sneakerhead #sneaker #nike #pandadunks

When Nelly starts rapping about the Pandas we'll know it's time to group these together. 😂 For now, JYoung hit the nail on the head

The af1 is a certified hood classic and the panda dunks are a certified zoo classic

[alaapnair]

Also the fact that air forces never really resold for much more than their og price. Pandas went for wayy more than retail

[KeeperCode]

The AF1 is timeless and surprisingly really comfortable

I have had a pair of AF1s for 10+ years. Classic shoe.

I remember when Panda Dunk resale prices were absolutely insane and teenagers would lose their minds when they saw how beat to shit mine were... I have a few pairs, all purchased at retail price, because I love the way they look, and once they're broken in, they're just a great shoes to beat up.

Granted, my 2015 AJ1 "Chicago" and 2016 AJ1 "Banned" are also beat to shit....

The shoe is just a classic. It’s like the old school vans and the black and white converse

The SF AF1's were fire! Too bad there aren't any new releases on them.

[sevenochicos]

Not just that it's the price, the dunks went crazy high! Higher than resellers expected but they milked it dry. And profited crazy. When the air force is timeless and affordable.. even with a supreme logo 💯🎯

People who hated panda dunks so much were resellers and hypebeasts.

Wassup! As a certified panda dunk lover, I kinda agree. And I can confirm the quality control is awful. Managed to get some for retail on the Nike website and there was quite literally a medium sized clob of dried hot glue on the side AND they were already creased. Disappointed as it was my first pair, but unfortunately had to return them as I couldn’t accept them in that condition.

AF1 is timeless. It is the go to for a clean white sneaker.

[gregmax]

think this is the first time i’ve heard certified hood classic without any touch of irony from you 😂

[Sparkyxcs]

The AF1 actually being in stock most of the time really helps.

[SaltSpirits]

same kinda thing with checkerboard vans for me… any vans silhouette is classic but the moment you put a checkerboard on it, im out, can’t stand em

[zpdelqi]

Nike Cortez and Air Force 1s are just certified classics.

[NikkiBWithTheAdHd]

I say like and wear what you like. I don’t mind the panda dunks. I think it’s a solid shoe. It looks good with just about everything. Same with the Forces. 🤷‍♀️

[GholdenOP]

The difference is when people wear forces they’re not acting like they’re some crazy new shoe. But when pandas first came out every new “sneaker head” was copping & thinking they were hot shit . Then it just dominoed

[ange]

Pandas are a great shoe bruh, the hate is unnecessary. They have a clean classic colorway and go with everything. Since when did a sneaker become bad JUST because they were popular?

[kevinklingman]

I think it’s because the air force one’s purpose was to be the shoe that everyone has, whereas they tried to make the panda dunk seem limited and unique
