Kanye never wore the MC Flyknit Racer, AND there was hype for the MC Racers even before Kanye wore any Flyknits. The MC's were hyped since the Milan release!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 overhypedBut $200-250 people ...
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.
And your statement about interest dropping because Nike flooded the market sounds off base too. People still want the shoe, but because there's so many pairs available, people aren't paying resale prices... right now at least. Eventually pairs will sell and the prices will go up. I GUARANTEE this. The market demand hasn't caught up with the current pairs available. The majority of resellers are little kids who don't have much money so they end up selling for retail or LESS because they need to recoup the money asap to buy and resell something again.

Initial release sold out and they restocked only in a few colors. So since release they sold well. The Olympics Def had me interested in flyinits but what really won me over were the Snow Blue HTM Chukka

So went to platos closet to sell some stuff, ran across these. Whoever owned them before must have washed them in hot water cause they're a 10.5 and they fit like my 9s. Also the rubber toe part is waaaayyy up there

It's that subconscious validation that it is worth it when someone else, especially a celebrity, "endorses" or approves of it.

******ed that a celebrity like "kanye" somehow "validates" flyknits and stupid hypebeasts drool and camp outside for 3 days to get yeezys...maybe if the leader of greenpeace wears some racers on a promo it will "hype" them even more...

Boggles the mind, but I'm an older dude.
But what's the difference between him and MJ, really? I can't clown those who follow Kanye's every move. Shoot, I did that as a 11-15 year old when MJ was just scratching the surface in the league. Wanted everything related to him. Hell, I still cop Jay's because they were important to me as a kid.
This younger generation sees that in Kanye.

role models are influential and motivational to a said person. It doesn't have to be for you and I.
Some people really think he's an amazing artist.

Is it me or did this recent restock of Oreos 2.0 run much smaller or narrower than the first few batches? Damn.. I don't wanna get rid of these but I can only fit my TTS if I remove the insoles?!

Are they tight length wise, width, or both? Try a thin pair of socks like Stance Super Invisibles or something comparable while they stretch some from wear.

What other stores/sites are getting the MC racers besides Nike.com? I know I have no chance through there. Hoping Footlocker or Finishline. Thanks
