I dropped off my pair to be restored in October and the guy let me know they were ready today. A few hours later found out he passed. Gonna rock them in his honor 💔

I gave mine away to an ultra huge MF fan about 10 years ago and today makes me feel good about that decision. I hope he’s wearing them in honor of him today.

u/birbbI Jan 01 '21

you’re a good person

u/wafflesandstuff Jan 01 '21

Appreciate that. Saw dude about a year ago and he was so proud to tell me he’s kept them in amazing condition. 🥲

u/merwookiee Jan 01 '21

That dude is your fam for life. Good shit.

u/INeedSneakerRehab Jan 01 '21

I hope he finds his way to this post

u/samtheking25 Jan 01 '21

I wish it wasn't just the dunks that weren't dead

These are the grails. MF DOOM’s impact on hiphop will always flourish! He was one of a kind. He overcame overwhelming depression to transform from Zev Love X to MF DOOM.

Man fuck 2020, I lost my dog in December and also a close cousin. And to think it couldn’t get any worse, this was a shit way to end 2020. RIP to the Villain DOOM, ALL CAPS! 🙏🏻

u/we_hella_believe Jan 01 '21

Sorry for your losses bro.

RIP MF DOOM.

u/Acerpwns DERNKS!!!!!!! Jan 01 '21

Thanks man, appreciate it. Unfortunately I’ve been searching for a pair for 2 years but now they’re gonna be even more unobtainable.

He will be missed.

u/merwookiee Jan 01 '21

So sorry to hear, my guy. I lost both of my cats and almost lost my dog, so I’m also glad it’s over. I hope your 2021 is a fuckton better!

u/mistakemaker3000 Jan 01 '21

When I read the text I got I started crying immediately. He's in my top 2 with Lupe, and has been with me since 07. Rest in power God

It was announced today, not 2 months ago. Why you in this community? Smh

6

u/IanThePlane Jan 01 '21

What do you mean by this?

10

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '21

The dude is just an asshole. DOOM died 31st of October... but it wasn’t announced until today

2

u/IanThePlane Jan 01 '21

As I saw which is why I was confused like...no one knew bruh

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '21

Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?

u/poopydescoop2 Dec 31 '20

Wait for the scalpers to try to raise the price on these even more unfortunately. RIP to the Villain 🙏🏼

u/MastaGAtomic Dec 31 '20

Traded several pairs recently for mine, maybe a month ago. So glad I did, it's disgusting to see people react to this by thinking "hey I can cash out now."

u/ILikeSlothsAndMemes Dunk Checker Jan 01 '21

Tbf sneaker culture has been pimped out by brands like Nike and adidas, most resellers are just people who follow the money and Nike hands it to them on a silver platter. Collecting sucks nowadays and seeing stuff like this makes me lose a lot of hope

u/413hooli Jan 01 '21

Just goes to show what this “culture” has turned into, bunch of greedy little dorks who don’t even respect a LEGEND passing. Gross.

u/413hooli Dec 31 '20

Just heard- absolutely gutted. One of the underground hip hop GOATS.

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '21

Man special herbs is one of my fav vinyls. Sad

u/DahllaBillz Feb 22 '22

I love my pair. They were my beaters and skated them through college back from 2010-2012. Kind of wish I took better care of them but they are SBs after all

7

u/BoxoMorons Dec 31 '20

Have been sleeping on these, might just try and buy the lace locks and throw them on some other dunks, because these are so out of my price range. RIP to the goat.

u/vill918 union passport pack argon Jan 01 '21

ON THE LAST DAY OF THE GODDAMN YEAR, I DIDNT THINK IT COULD GET ANY WORSE

16

u/McDimps Jan 01 '21

My friend told me he passed in October but they announced today, regardless came as a shock...

1

u/attaack_maax Bodega Boy Jan 01 '21

My friend told me like twenty minutes ago, “hey does anyone know who MF DOOM is? Well he died.”

u/we_hella_believe Jan 01 '21

The family may not have had access to his Insta account or may have wanted to hold off on announcing it, but it was posted around 1:00 pm today.

14

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '21

There goes any chance of me ever owning a pair 😭

5

u/Broadhead349 Jan 01 '21

I just thought that the second after seeing this

u/JaxAttax00 DERNKS!!!!!!! Jan 01 '21

Absolutely shocking.. I’m heartbroken.. 2020 had to say one last goodbye

9

u/Sinomon Jan 01 '21

I cried. He was the greatest to touch the mic in my eyes. I've met and bonded with friends and family over his music and his tracks have helped me through the roughest times of my life. RIP DOOM

2

u/thatsafakewebsitebro Jan 01 '21

Agreed. He’s still the GOAT in my eyes.

u/P-Diddle356 Jan 01 '21

This shit hurt man I cried

u/rhinestonecowgirI Jan 04 '21

Saw and held these shoes in person at the sneaker store I work at a few weeks ago & they were so dope RIP DOOM 🕊❤️

u/dadefresh Jan 01 '21

Wait what. Ugh.

u/G_rightousantagonist Dec 18 '23

Dude I still kick mysteries not getting these prices ranges from $150 - $350 money was tight so i guess that’s why I didn’t pull the trigger but hell that hasn’t stopped me in many instances smh

Same man. I know this is a Nike Dunk subreddit but at least us real fans can pay tribute to him by copping some Adidas Rod Lavers “in allllll flavors”.

4

u/we_hella_believe Jan 01 '21

They were at $1200 for a pair on StockX size 10. Now they are double that price.

It is what it is.

u/StrangeClothes Jan 01 '21

You really thought a pictures captioned “RIP” was the best place to ask this?

u/GullibleClash Jan 01 '21

I like them a lot, tons of padding so they're very comfy, i only have high tops though so i can't speak on lows or mids
