even if Kanye wanted more to be produced, lets be real, Adidas has a different agenda. I don't necessarily blame him. I doubt he signed a deal and had a clause that his shoes much be produced at a much higher count.
Adidas wants to keep this limited. Its not about selling shoes or gear with guys like Ye. Signing these guys (and Harden) isn't about making money off their sig lines. Its just to bolster their roster and bring more attention to their brand.

I'm sure it's not all his call. If you listen to the Breakfast Club interview, he clearly states that he knows they're still going to be hard to get for the first couple drops. He acknowledges that. And follows by saying EVENTUALLY he'd like everyone to be able to get them. Give him some time. You can't even act like the 350s aren't 3x more produced than any of his Nike releases. How many people have you seen eat on a Yeezy release like the Doves? Adidas is enjoying this hype wave they've never had. No matter how influential you are as a celebrity/artist, there's still a suit cutting the check.

i dunno if my comment was overlooked but did anyone know about the pacsun system?
when i spoke to the girl she told me that youre not guaranteed your size if your ticket is drawn.
it just guarantees you a pair.

There's already talks about additional shoe models coming out as time goes on, with Yeezy Season 2 and all that, AND there's been talk for forever about additional color ways for the 350s. He said everyone would "eventually" get a pair, and while I don't think we'll ever see GR Yeezy numbers, I think there will be enough Yeezy related shoe models and color ways that eventually you're gonna hit on one of them

I don't even recall anybody on here posting that they won from Pacsun last time. I also don't know anyone or anyone that knows anyone that won. Both times, I have heard that the pacsun store got 1-2 FSR at the most with hundreds of people signing up.

Because the blacks have not officially released yet -- People are paying / expecting to sell for a premium before the release date... Wait until a week from today when everyone receives their pairs in the mail to see what the true aftermarket price is.

In the end, we want them to be limited though.
The whole sneakergame acts like it would be best for everyone to get any shoe they wanted for retail at any particular time. I agree that I would love to go online and purchase OG Jordan 1 colors for 130 bucks, but on the other hand the whole culture is based on "heat" and people flexing their collections and posting on instagram.. if shoes like the Yeezys or collabs or just retros that are in demand would be too easy to get the whole culture would be way different. Nobody would have "heat" because everything is easy to acquire.
For example there ARE breds and royals out there right now for retail. But they are dunks and air force 1s and nobody wants them because there is no hype around them for being so limited.
The only other way I could see them going is higher prices. If next year Yeezys come out as a GR for everyone, but with a 500 dollar pricetag it would be the same situation as making them limited because not everyone could have (in this case afford) them.

dunno why some of y'all acting salty about striking out and blaming Kanye/adidas lol. Adidas is producing more pairs than Nike and making them more available to the masses. Demand > Supply. If u miss out, u can go the reseller route or wait for more colorways to come out, not that serious.

true. They were not always considered "heat", but I´m talking from a 2015 standpoint.
Not saying I´m endorsing all this. I could do without campouts, sneaker events and "newest pickup" videos – but that´s the current state of the sneakergame.

I can speak for the Turtle Dove release. My brother got picked in the raffle and they asked him what size he wanted. He was one of the first winners so pretty much every size was available. The raffle tickets we submitted just had name and phone number on them though.
For this release, they made you put down a size on your raffle ticket (at least at my PacSun) but put them all into the same container. Doesn't make much sense to me honestly because they'll have to fish through the entries until they clear every size unless they plan on separating them all out before they draw names. I'm thinking it's going to be the same as the Turtle Dove release honestly; when they call you, you pick a size out of the ones they have left. Just speculation on my end though.
