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.
Yeah bro lol... the energy is a done deal now smh lol...

I aint gunna lie ill be the first to admit that kanye killed em and now i want a pair lol...

I'm just a ye' fan in general tho or a "Tool" or "stan" whatever we're called

I actually was waiting to see if the UB went down in price before I pulled the trigger on Energy Boost but too bad now. I'll try and see what else I can get before the Kanye hype touches it. I'm a Kanye fan but I'm just sick of this hype ****.

I'm sure energy will restock bro... Just give it time...

I too am kinda tired of the hype but it is what it is cabt stop the resellers.

I cant wait to get info on the 350's tho

Adidas is just saying dropping soon... Def. by summer

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
I actually like the shoe so I wasn't planning on reselling. And Nike is the worst for this, and I know it wont make a difference but I don't want to be a part of making Adidas into the same monster thinking that these super limited exclusives are how they bring customers in.

Oh I know they wil. I'm just tired of the hype on everything Kanye touches.
 
 
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?
Adidas thought the buzz of Kanye West signing to Adidas, alone, would be enough to raise sales. 

They thought the thirst for the Yeezy Boost would trickle down to their other products, but it didn't.

You have to let people eat first so they can see that the quality is good, so that they can see you have products.

You can't just dangle that exclusive product out of reach to the average consumer and think that will be enough.

It time to wake up and smell the breakfast bro cuz it's looking like consumers ain't getting their way and no matter what... We likely ain't getting the Yeezys for retail. So either we like it or don't lol.

Maybe we're all just wasting time and maybe Adidas is comfortable with being 2nd best who knows

Just hope they go above a size 13 if all this ends up being true. I'm a 14 and had to sell my size 13 as I found them to be very uncomfortable, unfortunately.

3rd best.  Under Armour says hello and has already passed them in NA and will pass them globally soon.  NA is the key market and what the guy you replied to said was absolutely correct

you are diluted, there stock price went up.
 
It's not due to just yeezy. That's a very small niche market. Their boost running shoes line is probably helping the stock go up. Hell almost every sound company is going up.

All I said was the stock price went up. Because of increased business that guy is a ******* moron. Who bases his opinion and states it as fact for a whole company and whole population.

And yes ofc. Yeezy pharrell. And the designers who left nike ALL had influence.

And you might say yeezy appeals to just a niche market. Which is highly incorrect btw but if we go with that. His niche market aren't just hypebeasts with 2 people following them on ig. these are influential kids with thousands of Instagram followers who influence others. All indirectly related to yeezy. Whatever I'm gonna sound like a stan but I'm just stating facts.

Even with his followers how many are able to afford or even get a chance to buy it? I'm willing to bet they sell more kids soccer cleats than anything yeezy wears.
 
Skinny jeans are feminine to me, period. and joggers are just a stupid fad. ...also I never credited him with starting anything but he is definitely influential to his sheep, i.e. anyone that bought these shoes for over retail... hell anyone who bought these shoes period that has never even considered wearing Adidas. He's got that Oprah effect and there's no denying it. He could collab with Hurley and you'd have everyone scrambling for it :smh: ...not to downtalk Hurley, just pointing out that it's not the brand people want, its his name.

Just to be clear the only thing I've ever wanted relating to this dude are his Nike shoes and thats because they're Nikes.

...also, do y'all have to quote all those damn pics everytime you wanna say that they're fake? :x


What do you wear in Houston TX these days?

I know you are not directing that negative vibe towards me.

Just because Adidas stock went up doesn't mean it was solely because of Kanye.

I never stated anything as fact, but it is a fact that Adidas thought the Kanye buzz would make their products fly off store shelves and that didn't happen.

Brand awareness is the sole reason why companies do exclusive deals.  Did you think they signed Kanye because they care about you and your hurt feelings?

Why you so mad and attacking people because their opinion differs from yours?

Adidas is not even number 2 in the USA market so the population has spoken and they seem to agree with me.

Carry on

I don't think the products are flying off the shelves obviously but i sure do think they are doing a heck of a lot better than they were before

Since the launch of the Yeezy, Adidas' Market Cap has grown by approx. 1.5Billion.  In that same time frame, Nike's Market Cap has grown by 6Billion and Under Armour by about 700M.

The gap between Adidas and Nike is growing even with Yeezy being with the 3 stripes

I dont think anyone is arguing that adidas is better than nike.

I'm saying adidas is doing better than they were before.

Kanye also didn't have a huge impact with nike either

Better compared to what though?  They made more money sure, but UA is catching up from behind and Nike is pulling ahead in front.   Missed opportunity the way they played this release.
