Alright, let me tell you about my ice blue Dunk adventure. Been wanting a pair for ages, and I finally decided to bite the bullet and just DO it.
Phase 1: The Hunt
First things first, I started scouring the internet. StockX, GOAT, eBay… the usual suspects. I was looking for a specific shade of ice blue, not that super bright turquoise stuff, but more of a muted, almost greyish blue. It took a while. I swear, some sellers are straight-up delusional with their pricing.
- Checked StockX daily for price drops.
- Pored over eBay listings, carefully checking the photos for color accuracy.
- Almost got scammed on Facebook Marketplace (dodged a bullet there!).
Phase 2: The Purchase (and the Anxiety)
Finally found a pair on GOAT that looked legit and the price wasn’t completely insane. Pulled the trigger. Then the waiting game began. I was constantly refreshing the tracking info, convinced something would go wrong. You know how it is.
Phase 3: Unboxing and Initial Impressions
They arrived! The box was in decent shape, which is always a relief. Opened it up… and BAM! The color was exactly what I wanted. The quality seemed good, stitching looked clean. No weird smells (you never know!). Tried them on… fit like a glove. I was stoked!
Phase 4: On-Feet and Styling
Took them out for a spin the next day. They’re surprisingly comfortable, even for walking around all day. I’ve been rocking them with everything – jeans, shorts, even a skirt (don’t judge!). The ice blue is subtle enough to go with a lot of different outfits. I think they are the perfect summer shoes to rock around town!
Phase 5: The Maintenance Game
Now, gotta keep these bad boys clean. Already ordered some shoe cleaner and a brush. Thinking about getting some crease protectors too. Gotta keep them looking fresh! This is the most annoying part, but it gotta be done.
Final Thoughts
Overall, super happy with my ice blue Dunks. They were a bit of a splurge, but totally worth it. I’m already planning my next sneaker purchase… but shhh, don’t tell my bank account!
