If I was ever to get into boots, Nike SFB's > 950 Boots for sure.

I'm good with my Timbs though

I might cop so I can dunk on a 10 foot rim again

if i wear a size 8 in adidas. will size 7 be the move?

i'm a 10.5 in GLV's, 10's in GL3's, 9.5 on diadora n9000's, 10 in tubulars, 10 in flyknit racers/trainers.

got a size 10 in my boosts and they fit perfect with ample enough room. idk how you like styling your shoes, but I fully lace mine and my foot feels secure enough with no slippage at all. I felt if I went down to a 9 it would be really snug.

I like the 750s .... View media item 1625602

Here's my sad story about the boosts.

Was trying to get it off one NTer but we couldn't agree to a reasonable price, and I gave him suggestions as to where he can get the most profit from it.

I tried from a second NTer but she straight broke my heart, ignoring me and not even telling me that she already gotten rid of them while the whole time I'm thinking the transaction still about to go through.

End of story, no boosts.

But wait, so I get a call from a job. Last minute notice, because they really weren't hiring but they loved my resume. Because it's a job on Wall Street, what do I do? Was going to use the guap for the boosts but ended up buying 1000 dollar suit with shoes included.

Went to the interview, and got the call later on the day that I basically got the job. Maybe I wasn't supposed to get them boosts after all.

Pics for those who think I'm lion:

Bruh, that is FAR from a sad story, congrats on the new gig. 

 

[thomsquared]

Has anyone with size 11s noticed that the insole is a bit big? mine seems to be bunching up in the heel area. this is a legit pair purchased from Adidas in San Francisco.

Yeah, that's primarily why I am trying to get rid of my 11's... Was going to seek a trade for 10 but just got over them in general.

I don't think they are are ugly at all...however the price and BS that come along with getting them are not even worth it IMO. You can get a much nicer, more functional boot for less money and much less aggravation as far as I'm concerned. Just an opinion, there are no right or wrong statements.

Congrats bro 

What size were you looking for?

Thanks famb. And a size 8.

Bruh, that is FAR from a sad story, congrats on the new gig. 

I just wanted some yeezys man! But thanks, I'm going to be the new wolf on Wall Street lol.

Look at it this way... By the time your first check comes in these kicks will have gone down in resale and you would have ended up with a new job, a new suit and some Yeezy's at a lower cost.

Haha, I actually just want to wait until the pearl blacks come out and try to trade for a turtledove.  But I know by then, I'll probably get got for a fake pear.

After my interview, I went across the street to a Hermes store, found a belt I liked and said I'll come back if I get the job.  I'm a man of my word so another stack is going towards that belt. 

 

[thatmartiankid]

Told the NTer too that once I get them yeezys I'm going to change my avy.  Guess I'm going to have this avy for a long time.

Good job+new suit>350s

Just hit sneakercon later this month I can't wait to see how flooded with boosts it is.

 

[rrickrude]

congrats on possibly getting the new job. 350's can wait.
A stack on a belt though.....
congrats on the job.

 

[Renaldo Balkman]

Got stopped in a grocery store parking lot tonight from an older guy asking me about the comfort on these shoes... His best quote "when I saw these online I just didn't get the hype or understand the price... Now that I seem them on feet though, they look great!"

 

[joeoh29]

Congrats on the job. You'll pull more ***'s than bro's with the suit. Yeezys impress more bro's than ***'s. You won.

 

[onthesceneclean]

Them platform Yeezy boosts? ( Do the platforms even have boost? ) Look ok for, Kanye..he's rich and has Kim K..so..I'd say let them be Kanye exclusives.
They make the 350 and even 750 look more desirable.
That being said, bring on the black 350s.

On that note. I'm retiring from this thread.

Have fun trading stories of paying $1000 for these joints. 

I'll be in the Bordeaux thread 

 

 
Resale is the most ridiculous idea ever.

My favorite shoe is the Black/Varsity IV. I lost my 2010 pair in 2011. Then Kanye wore it and it jumped up to like $600 resale. 

NOOO WAY I was paying that. Not because "I'm broke" but because no reseller is catching a jux off me. I'm not a sucker. I eventually found them last year in my house, but in the time they were lost there was like a bunch of other things in did with $600+ over and over again. Buying those sneakers was not one of them. Wasn't sending some reseller on vacation, or paying for some kid to stunt in high school.

Funniest thing to me is that dudes out here paying resale on kicks they don't even really like, but wan't to have because they will "turn heads"

There's some deep psychological stuff going on right there 

 
It's cool. I ain't even saying it's a bad thing. But whenever you state the OBVIOUS point that some dudes will buy or want a sneaker for that main reason, people always get up in arms about it.

Take any psychology or communication class and it a thoroughly documented idea that "people don't buy clothes. they buy what those clothes say about them to other people" that's part of the psychology of buying almost anything from cars, to clothes, to houses, to sneakers. Not sure why dudes denying it.

There's a reason dudes will spend $1200 on these

But wont even look in the direction of these

Not to mention its SO MANY dudes who never even liked Jordan 1s til Kanye started rocking them. Joints used to sit on the shelves and collect dust 

There's a reason why if dudes struck out on these Yeezy's they could EASILY just buy a pair of Roshe's, which is a similar style shoe but they would prefer to pay 4x retail value for the Yeezy.

Let's stop the denial in here. 

 
Somebody gon step in dog doo doo in these, go ballistic and take it out on the first random dog they see

 
BUT when they repossess your stuff they probably won't take those Bred 1s 

Tough choice

 
In this thread most people have openly admitted to wanting 350 and 750  for no other reason than them being associated with Kanye West and his Yeezy line.

When the original 750 pics came out, dudes SWORE up and down that they was ugly. But on release day all those same dudes was going crazy trying to get them.

What's the difference between that and the boots? It's the same thing.

 
People will start "coming around" to those boots about 2 weeks leading to their release

There will be a lot of dudes talking bout "these are really growing on me" 

 
I feel you, but don't worry he'll be sure to wear these with a couple fire outfits in the weeks leading up to release.

He'll also make sure that all his influential friends do the same. I bet when he sends these shoes to people prior to release they come with instructions on how to wear them 

Okay Brett Favre.

Any word on a US release, I saw sizes pop up today in UK and have been on the refresh button ever since lol
