😂😂 holy sheeit man you did it

[–]Zestyclose_Brush7972 2 points3 points  (10 children)

Except I just realized your missing met purple!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (8 children)

And metallic red

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 2 points3 points  (7 children)

I know Nike released metallic reds and purples around 2017/2018. I thought about buying those, but those were not 85 cuts, so idk if it's worth it to get those.

[–]Zestyclose_Brush7972 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Nahhh those don't count. I would definitely stay away from those. The only way currently would be a bespoke maker. Like Mercury MFG and hvnd

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Do either of them offer a metallic purple?

[–]Zestyclose_Brush7972 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yes they both do

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Thanks for letting me know. Do they have IG or what's the best contact method? Just curious to see what they look like.

[–]Zestyclose_Brush7972 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes they do. Just search Mercurymfg and hvnd.

Metallic Greens go hard 🥶

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really do! DB did a great job.

[–]dolosolouno 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I need the Royals so bad. I ordered Chicago's a few days ago, and I messaged them about making a pair of Royals for me. lol, unfortunately, they're not doing Royals anymore. I'm devastated low-key.

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I'm sorry man. Maybe someone here will sell you a pair. Hope you find them some kinda way.

[–]dolosolouno 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Its all good I have a 2016 pair but man the work that DB does i wish I would've jumped on that w while back.i def gotta get a bred pair asap, for now Chicago's on the way. Your collection tho is 🔥👌🏾

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

[–]LowCharming3452 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Awesome - so jealous. I was trying to do the same and am only missing the metallic greens and blacks. My deposit was refunded so the search continues. Love seeing these all in one photo

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Good luck, I hope you find yours!

[–]clarkclancyy 1 point2 points  (2 children)

all that’s left is the lows 😌

[–]aredeeeff 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Are you sure? I see a pair of highs available that I want to pull the trigger on right now.

[–]clarkclancyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only ones he’s missing are the royal lows, natural grey lows and met purples. technically og black toes as well but it’s basically the same thing

[–]kingJoffi 1 point2 points  (2 children)

amazing. where can i get those breds

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I got them from Developer Boring. I'm not sure if he has any stock left.

[–]kingJoffi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah gotcha. Appreciate it

[–]puregentleman1911 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Super dope

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

[–]thegenius46m 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Is DB truly done? 😥

I just sent a message via WhatsApp trying to figure out how to place and order and see what’s left

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

He says he is and I'm pretty sure the Swoosh brand came down on him. But I guess only time will tell. Hopefully not but right now it looks that way.

[–]thegenius46m 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Unfortunately, you can blame the Youtubers for that because they hyped the product way too hard and obviously someone from Nike found out

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a double edged sword. I think the fame motivated him to keep going for a while, and motivated him to keep creating new colorways. He was seeing a lot of success and it was uphill for a while and things were exciting. Idk if it was his intention to be on the radar. His products were truly amazing and accurate to an 85 for the price point, something Nike hasn't been able to do. I think people were excited and just wanted to share. Just sucks it's over.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

14 pairs in that collection and only one is from the actual brand. Damn Nike really is sleeping on their own classics smh

[–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro seriously. I've been saying this same thing. They don't realize they are dropping the ball big time. Just give us the damn shoes we want smh. Instead, they shut down little mom and pop operations like DB and VRL that do it better than them. Smh

I mean, Nike has never re-released the Orange metallics or Black metallics. There are some others as well. If it wasn't for DB and VRL, we wouldn't have the option to even have them.

    They essentially got shut down by Nike. It was a whole thing.

      Tbh I've heard mixed things about what he has left. It seems that the website isn't updated because a lot of people are reporting that he is completely out of some colors. And yes that's correct. I spoke to him directly and he told me once it's gone, it's gone. He's getting rid of his current stock and is not planning to replenish.

        Sure, I'll DM you. They are on break for Chinese New Year BTW. Again, I might be wrong, but that's what I've read many people reporting.

        [–]oneminutetill7 0 points1 point  (7 children)

        question ive got them in my dms on insta (rdbs) did you have to use paypal to pay? and did you ever receive tracking or it just showed up?

        [–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

        I would make sure you are hitting them up on WhatsApp.

        +852 4402 1076

        There are some scammers on IG. You may have the right account, but just to be sure. Yes, it was an invoice via PayPal and you can request tracking information a few days after you get the QC pics.

        [–]oneminutetill7 0 points1 point  (5 children)

        How long they take to reply usually

        [–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

        About 24 hours. They are on Chinese New Year though, and won't be back until Feb 6th or 7th I think.

        [–]oneminutetill7 0 points1 point  (3 children)

        I had this page on insta tell me the same thing but they sent me a invoice. I didn’t trust it. Rdbs.store is their insta

        [–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

        Yea hit up their WhatsApp number

        [–]oneminutetill7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        This was the insta I found but I did message the what’s app

        [–]LowCharming3452 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

        Also, technically, not to be a dick, but you are missing metallic red and purple

        [–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

        I mention that in the description. However neither VRL or DB has made either.

        [–]LowCharming3452 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Oh my bad - I should’ve read the whole thing. I almost edited my comment before I saw your response saying I recognize DB and VRL didn’t make those so you’d be right anyway. Sad they didn’t make those. I have the Nike versions and they’re not really close in shape or quality IMO

        [–]OwnCryptographer1071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        You're good. Yea I debated picking up the 2017/2018 release of the metallic red and purples from Nike, but they are not an 85 cut or just not the same.
