ADIDAS x YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL THREAD *2016 thread link 1st page*

I'm young although I have (or had I should say) a good amount of knowledge on OG's. I personally have never seen a shoe with the leather like the Tan yeezy 1's. Can't speak for the 2's because I've never seen them in person. Besides soccer cleats, I've never seen that high quality leather. Not from Nike. Only thing that can compare are my jordan 3's from 94 although I think the Yeezy is still nicer in terms of leather.

Besides the Jordan 3, what shoe influenced the Yeezy? I don't see anything else on it that I can identify. All I can think of as far as the silhouette goes is a Lebron, somewhat. Although I'm not sure if the model was around before the Yeezy.

All kinds of companies used the strap after the Yeezy. The midsole didn't crack and they were comfortable. Glow in the dark was used more after. I just wish the high quality leather was.

When I bring the selling out aspect of it to the argument, I'm not saying that's what makes it a great shoe. I'm only saying it's a component.

As for the resell value of the Yeezy, I would have to say the reason for it is Supply and demand. There's obviously a reason for the demand. Whatever the reason, It's a desired shoe which is another component of being a great shoe.

You can't find anything else that influenced the yeezy? have you ever seen the ATC line?
 
They look like regular plain adidas with "Yeezi" on it. Kinda like an iD. Come tomorrow that picture will be going viral and every shoe page will use it.
 
oh word?

They look alright in that picture but look a bit too normal to be a kanye shoe. Not saying he didn't design it, just that it looks a bit pedestrian compared to all the other stuff he's had his hand in. Looks like your standard adidas 90's runner.

'06 though.. That was quite awhile before his Nike designs. Plus the story is that it was a Reebok shoe and adidas revamped it. For all we know it could've looked completely different other than the shape.

Yes he cuts Kanye's hair but if I'm not mistaken it's been said multiple times that it's his cousin, and yeah IBN skates, designs and as well markets and advertises products within Kanye's crew.
 
Already bought em off ebay. You guys better buy before prices go up..
the white/greens are super GR and i think they are planned for other seasons as well(green and blue..only red i think won't be released again soon)..so i don't think prices can go over retail for any reason
