RESN Dunks - What does RESN mean?

| Posted in | Posted on 11/10/2009

Everyone calls them Gucci's. Even I do, but here is the meaning of RESN. Honestly the meaning makes the shoes even more DOPE (pun intended).

Here’s the story on RESN via N-SB.org

Hey folks,
This is Nick from Diamond Supply Co.
I just thought I would brief you guys on the concept behind the shoes and how they came about.
Sam Smyth from Girl Skateboards designed these back in ‘05 and I helped him a little with the materials. These were designed the same day as the Diamond “Tiffany” Dunks and were suppose to say Resn on the tongue, which was what Sam used to write when he was in the IBC tagging crew in SF. Green for the weed, red for fire and black for the resn. Gucci was just the nickname for the shoes but they were really going to be named Resn SB just as Tiffany’s are really named Diamond SB. True Story.





Edit - I got mine today from Westside Skateshop in Tarpon Springs, FL. No mark-up and super staff.
