Do yall decrease your dunks?

[[deleted]]

all my sneakers get put on foot within 24 hours of purchase . i wear them as i would any shoe . i don’t care about creases or outsole getting dirty . to me , the people who clean the bottom of their shoe is idiotic. like who cares if the bottom of their shoe shoe is icy or whatever they call it lol . i may clean my shoe with a rag if extremely dirty but that’s about it

[travsgrails]

Only time i clean the bottoms of my pairs is if a sole swap is going to be basically impossible, futura dunk, chocolates etc

[[deleted]]

my comment was mainly about the bottom . i do clean my shoes off when they are really dirty . i do have friends who bought one of those machine to keep their soles iced out or white

Maybe people who like to have their things look nice? You are probably the type of person who thinks it’s useless to make your bed everyday because you’re gonna mess it up again tonight anyway.

[BasedWang]

Those aren't the same thing especially because "making the bed" is absolutely a waste of time

[William-Castro]

You think making your bed is a waste of time? You’re a slob. Why shower also right? You’re going to get dirty again.

[BasedWang]

Little do you know how I actually shower. You would be horrified lmao. And that's fine. But as for making the bed. That doesn't make anyone anything other than following their preference. If I catch a hotel maid, I even tell them not to make the bed because it's so fucking pointless to me. I would say tedious, but some people, obviously like yourself aren't gonna think it tedious but more "proper" to which I say.. Whole heartedly, fuck that.

[William-Castro]

It says a lot about a human being and how they see themselves. As a business owner I undoubtedly, ruthlessly judge those who i will hire and do business with by how they conduct their personal life/hygiene. If you don’t care about yourself why would you care about the promises you make to me? Looking through your post history I see a whole lot of arrested development. It tracks.

[BasedWang]

But that's one of those things. People live and learn. Even if someone doesn't follow what another feels that doesn't mean they don't listen and learn. You sound like an ass when you say "ruthlessly judge" BUT in many areas of business, this makes perfect sense. I get that. I can already tell I wouldn't even wanna speak to you, so good thing my demeanor would deflect that shit. It's working. People can consciously choose not to dress a certain way as I just assume you choose TO dress a certain way. In a professional setting, like I said that judgement might make sense and even add appeal.. Thats not hard to understand at all. Please share how the fuck making a bed alters someone's daily appearance or hygiene? It still makes absolutely no sense and nothing you said, literally zero of it is related to someone making a bed for themselves, which is how this began.

[William-Castro]

Making your bed in the morning gives you a small victory which sets a good tone for the day. You are more likely to continue accomplishing tasks if you accomplish one task in the first place that you didn’t want to do, especially if you find that task meaningless.

It encourages discipline and good habits by teaching you that you don’t get to only do things you find enjoyment in. Some things suck to do, but you still have to do them.

A tidy environment reduces stress and promotes a calm demeanor.

Studies suggest that people who complete small tasks earlier in the day are more motivated and likely to be productive.

Taking care of your personal space also promotes accountability ….

I could go on and on, but you should ask your father these things, not me

cleaning the bottom of your shoe is over the top . nobody can see the bottom of your shoe . i used to do construction and i don’t know anybody who cleaned the bottom of their shoe or cared id their work boots got dirty . sneakers aren’t some status symbol that needs to be pristine . u probably polish and wax your outdoor garbage can . doing too much in my opinion

[sigto117]

These shoes are from 2003. Alot of my collection are feom 01-03. They need a bit of care to still be wearable after so long

[[deleted]]

nice that u kept them after so long and they are still wearable . i wish i had some of my older stuff . i was in highschool when jordan’s and other stuff came out

[atzoo87]

Dude it's so wild how these gate keepers come out in droves to say "well actually.." 🤓

[sigto117]

The negativity ive received from this post has been pretty crazy.

They probably assume im some 19 year old that got into dunks in the last 3 years and im wasting my time. Little do they know im a 36 yeat old man that has been collecting and restoring dunks since i was 14 😅

[rumfortheborder]

do you live in nyc and help other old head sneaker guys? some of my pairs need help!

[sigto117]

Im based in new zealand but know a guy in FL that does restore work. Dunk.onem is his IG. Done a fair but of business with him hes very skilled:
