"Premiums" use leather from sexier cows. "Elites" come from cows who actually wear sb dunks themselves.

Dunno really, I think the only difference is the upper. The only sbs I've skated in are normal blazer lows and janoskis. I've had a set of dunk mid premiums but never really rolled in them.

can't you feel the board with harbours or blazers? I've been rolling in nikes for years and i've found that dunks have to much board feel, lol, like eventually it feels like your just wearing a slipper or something with hardly no protection for your heals, where as with harbours and blazers the soul remains hard, have a fair amount or board feel and takes months to wear em down, just my opinion tho
