It would be so comical if the 750 re release. Hopefully in huge quantities. I would laugh so hard at the folks dropping stacks on them. LMAO

Why would you laugh? That means if you like the shoe and you didnt get lucky your forced to pay resell or go the black market route. Not like people want to drop racks on a shoe.  Adidas has not mentioned any restock so ofcourse people bought the shoes for racks already considering the prices will only rise with time.

You're* not forced to do anything. Anybody who pays thousands for a pair of shoes that retail for a few hundred deserve to be laughed at.

Sounds like you're making the choice to be a slave to product with your thought process.

True. It's kind of embarrassing, at least I would be embarrassed to tell someone I paid $2,000 or $3,000 for a $350 shoe that was made in China. I don't even own any Nike or Adidas shoes but I really liked the look of these, but unless the shoes came with a diamond ring what since does it make to over pay that much. People are just giving resellers more ammo to do things like this.

Diamonds huh? When you break it down to a shoe thats just made in china, you're willing to paying a bunch of money for a shiny rock that comes from the ground that there is a surplus of, they control the market by limiting supply, same thing with shoes... value is subjective.

To be honest, IBN just said to be patient, obviously the resellers in the thread steered everyone into making everyone think these would be very limited and what not.. This thread was dry for some weeks..

You can't really compare the two. They are on 2 different levels when it comes to value. The yeezy boost sell/sold for $350 in stores, diamonds sell from $50 up to millions in stores. The value of the yeezy boost is being artificially inflated by resellers where diamonds are not.
 
I would hope Adidas isn't that stupid and will release anything in the U.S that will give them strong sales numbers, limiting anything that is a hot seller in a market your struggling in doesn't make sense.

I think they only care about having hot products and being talk of the town...

Having 1 dope shoe that everyone wants and just continuing to drop that one particular shoe isnt the right thing either....

You want people to want everything your brand. 90% of you guys just want yeezys anyway would you guys purchase an ultra boost, energy boost, pure boost, tubulars, zx 8000 boost, or supercolors?

I wont buy one more product from Adidas until I get the Yeezy 750 at retail.  I don't like how they handled the release at all and Im going to do my part to stop them from becoming just as bad as Nike.  I doubt it does anything at all since Im one person, but Im going to do my small part.

And the way people become brand loyal is buy buying one product, liking it and coming back.  Not sure how many others like me are out there, but they miss that opportunity that they could have taken advantage of

A few blogs doesn't make this info legit. Until I hear more I'll just take this restock with a grain of salt.

Same here tbh. Would be nice the 27th is the day after my birthday but I'm not believing completely.

I actually own a couple pairs of Pure Boost. I want a pair of Ultra Boost and I was eyeing the Energy Boost before this whole Kanye wearing them crap, as an alternative to Ultra Boost.

People are buying the product for the wrong reason. half the people wanna flip it anyway.

I personally bought my pair for resell and started buying more adidas products. I now have about 6-10 pairs of adidas now...

Moving onto Reebok also.. they're killing it over there too... Nike is losing me. I feel exactly how you do but with nike and they're losing my money every new release
