Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout these here “starfish dunks.” Folks keep jabberin’ on about ’em, so I figured I’d poke around and see what all the fuss is about. Don’t know much ’bout fancy shoes, but I know what I like, and I know what folks are sayin’. So, here’s the lowdown, as best as this old woman can figure.

Are these here “SB Dunks” any good? That’s what everyone’s askin’, seems like. Some folks say they comfy and stylish, like walkin’ on clouds. Others, well, they ain’t so sure. Me? I reckon comfort’s key. If your feet hurt, you ain’t gonna be happy, no matter how fancy your shoes look. So, if they feel good, that’s a big plus in my book. And these dunks seems to have gotten popular enough, young folks all wearing them. Makes them pretty stylish, I guess, but comfort is still what I value most in shoes.
Now, this whole sneaker world, it’s a whole ‘nother thing. Fashion, they call it. And performance, whatever that means. Seems like there’s a new shoe comin’ out every other day, different colors, different names. Hard to keep up, I tell ya. But these “starfish dunks”, they seem to be stickin’ around. Guess there’s somethin’ special ’bout ’em.
- Comfort: Gotta feel good on your feet.
- Style: Gotta look good, I guess, though I don’t care much for it myself.
- Durability: Gotta last a good while, ain’t nobody got money to throw away on shoes that fall apart.
Some folks, they collect these shoes, like they’re gold or somethin’. They call ’em “Lobster Dunks” and “Starfish” ones, all sorts of names. They buy ’em low, sell ’em high, makin’ a profit. Smart, I guess, if you know what you’re doin’. But me, I just need a good pair of shoes to get me around. These Jordan 1 High OG “Starfish” , they are look pretty though, saw a couple young folks wearing them the other day, orange and white, clean looking.
I remember wearin’ Dunks way back in the day, in the 80s, I think. Kids these days, they get all excited ’bout stuff that ain’t even new. But I guess that’s how it goes. Things come back around. And these here Dunks, they seem to be back in a big way. All these collabs, they call ’em. Workin’ with famous people or brands, makin’ special edition shoes. Folks go crazy for ’em. I saw a young man wearing the Travis Scott collaboration. He seemed rather proud of it, showing off the strange backward swoosh.
So, are these limited edition ones worth all the hype? That’s the million dollar question, ain’t it? Well, for some folks, the answer’s a big ol’ yes. They like that they’re rare, that they’re connected to somethin’ popular. Makes ’em feel special, I suppose. And if you’re a collector, I guess it makes sense. But for regular folks like me, it’s hard to say. I mean, I like a good deal as much as the next person. Paying a whole lot for a pair of shoes, though, that just seems silly. The way these kids lining up all night for a pair of shoes, remind me of the ration days back in the war. At least they lining up for shoes and not food, times have changed.

But these here “starfish dunks”, there somethin’ special bout’ them that’s making folks go wild, not just young folks but middle aged man too, even my grandson asking me for a pair. I can’t really tell what’s different, looks like any other basketball shoes to me. But then again, I can’t tell much difference between Fords and Chevys either, so maybe it’s just my old eyes. But if folks like ’em, and they’re willin’ to pay for ’em, well, that’s their business. Me? I’ll stick to my comfy old shoes. They ain’t fancy, but they get me where I need to go. That’s all what matters at the end of the day right?
So, there you have it. This old woman’s take on these here “starfish dunks.” Take it or leave it, it don’t matter much to me. Just tryin’ to make sense of it all, like the rest of ya. And maybe get my grandson a pair for his birthday, If I can find them for a decent price that is.
