Multi-colors were at outlets for $100 dollars and I passed. I think the design is very dope but it's just insane people
are creating a hype around a shoe that was just "another-shoe" but they attached added value because of Ye or
because the shoe became limited. Prime example look at the recent Oreo, a dope shoe but I'm sure interest fell drastically
when Nike flooded the market.

It happens to all the perceived /borderline/ hyped/ limited sneaker/some celeb (Ye) almost always wears. With the
exception of Supreme, since that lane is been overhyped :x But $200-250 people ...:smh:

As long as people are willing to say MC is flyknit, and non of them other wack shoes in the line. I'm fine with it.

So the oreo 2.0 selling out had nothing to do with the growing popularity of Flyknits? Remember when Roshes started selling out? Which celeb wore them to make them popular? Oh right. There wasn't one. Like Roshes, Oreos are sitting now because the supply has finally surpassed demand after multiple restocks. Fads and trends work in weird ways that can't always be attributed to a single figure.

Flyknits used to sit and hit outlets because they were still relatively low-key, but the demand and awareness of them has been steadily growing for a while (hyperpunch, pinks, etc all started popping up at Footlocker and that's not just for no reason). Imo, the thing that really slingshotted flyknits into popularity were the outlets getting in MC trainers and the rerelease of b/w racers. When sites like hypebeast and complex put the b/w rerelease on a pedestal, it was REALLY over.

The "limited" tag argument I can understand, but it really irks me when people try to say it's all because Kanye or some celeb decided to randomly wear a pair of shoes out. If that were true, infra/blk VIs would be by far the hardest Jordan to obtain.
 
im still lol'ing at " these are an outlet shoe" comment from earlier LOL

like Nike is gonna spend all that marketing money on the launch of the FK technology haha oh, and Lebron on the cover of GQ in an outlet shoe

He was right for the sherbets... Then he was right for the goons... Then after that, people were still not believing him for the mc.
 
so the flyknits are official for next week but are other stores getting them? i got my oreos at footlocker and hope to pick up the multicolor joints there also... if its just nike then i assume i will miss out :smh:
