fake 750s are much easier to spot, just watch a few youtube videos and check out the newest version of the fakes, you should be good to go.

This is what I did TBH... I missed on release and instead of paying resell I bought my girl THE ring and proposed (some of you might recall)... I've been lowkey on the hunt just waiting it out trying to find a deal without stressing about it. I watched a lot of videos and got some good info on reddit. With the newest fakes it comes down to really fine details. I just purchased a pair Yesterday and they should be here tomorrow... Hoping they are the pair that was in the pictures the seller sent me because if so I'm pretty confident that they are legit. I'll post some pics up tomorrow night.
 
Going HAM for the black 350's

If I "come across " any tips like last time, best be sure I'll post it in here


In phar news, how the F is this even possible??
My guess is two things, he uses his buying power to cop from other resellers and then sells them again, knowing he can fetch top dollar. Or b, they're fake.
View media item 1650170Probably the former is my guess.

So now that the Aug 22 date is official for the black 350's..I'm trying to figure out..what would be the best plan of action to cook up this time around? After that last experience, it seems like trying the online sites is futile :smh:

not impossible, but there are quite a few who scored multiples manually. I for one scored 4 pairs all at retail. 
 
Blacks are dope but not touching the greys imo
Agreed. Pretty sure if the blacks were the only ones to release alot of people would have passed. All black sneakers dont appeal to most. I'm still going in though

 Black 750s are a whole other beast..

Anything with Kanye sells out. Even white tees. He'll even artists in the industry find themselves wearing trends he started without even knowing he started it.

But what trend has he really started though? SRS question...

Kanye is a master of hyping something up to a whole other level but as far as truly and originally starting a trend, I don't think I can think of one.

He takes many cues from all over the place but they are not originally his.

For example... Jerry Lorenzo... I have followed him since before his FOG label blew up (thanks to Kanye) and Kanye has simply bit on A LOT of this guys style... And Jerry's isn't really original per se... He took many cues from other established designers and brands and put his spin on them. But just to name a few examples... trainers (Flyknits, Visvims, Y3, etc.) with destroyed or light wash denim combined with neutral and muted colors... this was Jerry's personal look since before his brand, and this is how he dressed when Kanye met him... Now you can see a HEAVY J. Lorenzo influence in everything Kanye does. Shoot even the whole Chelsea boot look and vintage band tees was seen on J. Lorenzo WAY before Kanye...

J. Lorenzo is just an example... Don C, Virgil, Taz, Murakami, Jasper, etc. have all had to do with Kanye's many different looks and phases. Kanye has a good eye and picks out certain looks he likes and runs with him... then as we have seen countless times... the masses follow.

With this being said, I am a Kanye fan but I figured I throw that out there because people seem to give him way more credit than he deserves as far a an innovator in the fashion industry.

Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread.

I know at least 4 people that copped over 10 pairs each. It's not that difficult to cop multiples online, especially in europe.

That I completely understand... from what I see from this dude (and I follow him) it looks like this is some sort of re-up... whatever it is.. i aint eem mad... 

i just want to understand, if this is indeed a "re-up" im dumbfounded 

maybe  he had stock and is slowly releasing it ..who really knows

It obviously won't get posted here because the shoes are gone in an instant but 350s have restocked a couple times in Europe.
 
Yeah i know a bunch that copped over 5 each. Also a lot of people will do pre orders of high amounts and will make a nice profit margin. I saw a few dudes who did them for 1200-1500 before release and made bank, they just buy them off the day 1 resellers that need the quick profit

You are absolutely right.

I remember, a really smart adult move and I doubt many people on here would have stepped up and done something like that. Hope you get your 750's, you deserve them. 
 
Never browsed reddit, they have a lot of shoe stuff on there?
the sub currently has 52,000 subscribers. mostly little teens/early 20's. but reddit itself is pretty awesome, or used to be. the nfl/nba subs are still top notch and /r/sneakers is decent
