Alright, so, get this – I got my hands on the Nike Dunk “What The Duck” kicks. You know, the ones everyone’s been going crazy about. Yeah, those. I’ve been eyeballing these bad boys for a while now, and let me tell you, the journey to actually getting them was a bit of a rollercoaster.
It all started when I saw the announcement. Nike was dropping these limited edition Dunks, only 5,000 pairs worldwide, and they were calling them “What The Duck.” I knew I had to have them. They were just too cool to pass up, plus, I’m a sucker for anything Oregon-related.
First thing I did? I started hitting up all the usual spots – Flight Club, you know, the big sneaker stores in New York, LA, Miami, and Tokyo. They were supposed to get them on October 5th. I called, I visited their stores a few times, I did all that I could. But no luck. Every time, it was the same story: “Sold out,” “We didn’t get that many,” “Try again later.” It was frustrating, to say the least.
Then, I heard that they were going to do a global release on October 11th through the GOAT platform. This was my chance! I set my alarm, I got my computer ready, I was prepared to do whatever it took to cop these shoes.
When the day came, I was on the GOAT app right as they dropped. And guess what? I still missed out! They sold out in like, seconds. I couldn’t believe it. I was so bummed. I really thought I had it that time.
But then, I saw this other announcement. There was going to be another version, the “What The Duck Alternate,” dropping on November 28th, exclusively on GOAT, as part of their Black Friday event. They were priced at $325, a bit more than the first ones, but I figured, hey, it’s a special occasion. It was like a second wind, a new hope.
This time, I was determined. I made some space in my closet, I told my friends about it, I was all in. I did some research. I looked up resale prices of the first version, which were going for over $400, crazy, right? That only made me want these even more.
The Big Day
November 28th finally rolled around. I was a nervous wreck. I had the GOAT app open on my phone and my computer, just to be safe. I was clicking refresh like a madman. And then, it happened.
I got through! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I quickly selected my size, added them to my cart, and checked out as fast as humanly possible. And boom, I got the confirmation. I actually did it. I scored the “What The Duck Alternate” Dunks!
- Waited for the delivery: This was the hardest part. The anticipation was killing me.
- Unboxed them: When they finally arrived, it was like Christmas morning. The box, the shoes, everything was perfect.
- Tried them on: They fit like a dream. Super comfy, and they looked even better in person than in the pictures.
- Showed them off: Of course, I had to flex a little. I wore them out, took some pics, posted them online. The reactions were priceless.
So yeah, that’s my story of how I copped the Nike Dunk “What The Duck” shoes. It was a wild ride, full of ups and downs, but in the end, it was totally worth it. These shoes are more than just sneakers to me, they’re a symbol of my persistence, my love for the Ducks, and my passion for sneakers. And hey, they look pretty damn good, too.
To sum up, it was a real journey to get my hands on these Dunks. The feeling of finally owning something I worked so hard to get is unmatched. And as a bonus, knowing that these sneakers support a good cause makes them even more special. It’s not just about the hype; it’s about being part of something bigger. These Dunks are definitely going to be a prized possession in my collection.
