Nike’s Panda Dunk has become a shoe people either love or hate.
It looks incredible and might be the perfect shoe for anybody’s fit-grid they want to share on Instagram. At the same time, it feels like everyone and their cousin has a pair these days. And that seems to bother a lot of people. It’s why folks are calling it the new Air Force 1 — and not in a good way.
Folks want their shoes to be exclusive. They want to be able to flex on one another and say “I have these when you don’t.” That’s a big deal in sneaker culture.
