Charity eBay Dunks-Custom Nike Dunks Win 30 Gs
Charity eBay Dunks-Custom Nike Dunks Win 30 Gs

Authors note:
Rumor has it that Nike bid the 30 Gs on their own eBay/Dunk auction to generate hype. Quite possible since the winning bid came from Beaverton, Oregon. Regardless of whether or not that is true, here's the article:
nikeskateboarding.com held its first charity sneaker auction on eBay from August 31 to September 6. The auction ended while dozens of sneaker fanatics watched a monitor displayed at the Nike booth on Saturday afternoon during the ASR San Diego trade show.
Up for auction was a one-of-a-kind pair of the Nike SB "Charity Dunk" Los, featuring an eBay colorway (green, red, blue, yellow, and white) and eBay-esque font for the "Nike" logo. The side of the shoe will be numbered "1 of 1," and the Dunks will be custom-made and sized for the anonymous winner.
"We're extremely pleased that this auction has been such a success and generated significant donations for such worthy organizations," said Kevin Imamura, communications manager for Nike Skateboarding. "The funds raised will help provide skaters with quality parks to enjoy for years to come."
The display model for the auction was displayed and shredded in the Nike booth at the ASR show a few moments after the auction closed at 30,000 dollars. The remains of the hand-shredded display Dunks will be shipped to the winner to ensure the authenticity of Nike's promise to only make one pair. All proceeds will be split between the Tim Brauch Foundation (timbrauch.com) and Skaters For Portland Skateparks (pdxskaters.org).

The shoes look better than anything in your collection. Your too insecure to wear them so you call them, "gay."

Togo Yakamoto said:
Hello there I came across this while looking for articles on my kicks and I must say a few things, one nike nor ebay bought these kicks I did. Two whom ever said these shoes are ugly it does not matter because you'll never own them, and last but not least the reason the shoes ran for so much is due to the fact that it was for charity.

WEST COAST CRIPPIN said:
yo listen up yall..... none of you fake ass punks own the shoes ...that includes you takamoto...... they were bought as an investment buy a private buyer from some where in the midwest..... all you fools are rockin fakes pussy bitches fake is for gays why rock it if you cant afford it and yo all you fake niggaz tell all ya ho's to drop the fake louis vui cause it lloks shit as fuck....what kinda nigga gets out his beat up old car rockin a pair of 2k shoes with his bitch and her fake louis bag...you guys make me sick where is your origionality..........the kicks are tight..... for a few reasons 1:- you will never see any one else with them..(but if you own the kicks you would keep them deadstock unworn)
2:- the colourway is fuckin awesome
if these shoes ever made it onto ebay they woyld easily get $50k if it was hyped up pre auction ......dude shaq could buy these from like a days pays and rock em
fuck yall no good losers
im out if anyone disagrees with what i say

wtfyuck? said:
uhh i agree with west coast.
the part about the fake bags was kind of random though
also, u cant wear ripped shoes anyways
the point of those shoes was to raise money not to wear them

Deez nuts said:
those shoes aren't supposed to look tite homosexuals. they obviously look really fucking gay, the point is to own the only pair. and if they weren't ripped i'd feel like some gay homo fag wearing those shoes. i'd keep em in a fucking safe or some shit.

Ill have to say that these shoes are quite interesting.The colorway isn't that appealing,but due to the exclusiveness of the sneaker I'd probably add it to my collection if I could afford it.
