I actually did way better than expected. But I Was persistent and did things a bit different than usual. I struck out on ADC but scored at other places. I picked up pairs for a couple friends and a few extra to flip. I thought there was perhaps more this time around? But I copped 3 hours late last time due to travel so who knows.

SHOUT OUT TO THE DUDE WHO HELD ME DOWN!

Struck out everywhere online and through raffles. Went to Bait and waited for 4 hours for unclaimed pairs. Owner of the shop told everyone all pairs are sold out. At this point, my sodium level was through the roof. I was gonna go home but decided to stop at the mall just cuz of an intuition. Asked the guy if there are any sizes left over and he asked what size I needed. I told him 11 and his eyes lit up and ran to the back. Bam!

Lmao
 
I had 4 pairs in cart and got nothing. Sad day. Didn't hit on any raffles. I see this guy got 3 pairs and wants 900 for each. Somebody offered 2400 for all 3 and he said no. Crazy ish. Yeezy season.

I really don't understand why people rip on the 350s. $200 retail for boost technology with prime knit and it's a kanye collab while Ultra boosts cost $180 retail, 20 dollars more isn't bad lol.

I'm actually impressed on these. Quality is the same but looking at some pics I was kinda underwhelmed but having them in hand, changed my mind. Turtles are still my favs. Pics will be up later, glad some of us at on this release. Onto the next now!:smokin

Many don't really care about the technology behind it or willingly ignore it.

Honestly the soles could be wood and the uppers could be sandpaper and everyone would just go "It's a small price to pay for high fashion. Ye and the adidas team are thinking ahead and you just don't see it."

Agree. I have the some yeezy ones and the platinum twos. These are much versatile to go with clothing, I feel the others are more flashy. Don't get me wrong though, I prefer the air yeezy's.

Gonna try to find a trade partner with greys for my blacks. Where's the best place to look?

Look on Facebook groups or consignment stores. It will be hard to trade straight though. Turtles seems to be the better colorway

Exactly. If you want it to be a raffle, announce that you're doing a raffle a week or even 2 days in advance. Let everyone sign up and send the winners some kind of exclusive link to check out the pair that they won. That would be much better than looking at my desktop computer screen, phone screen, and laptop screen for an hour straight just to find out I didn't win ****.

Also if Adidas would let me reserve a pair while I am at work in Barrington, that would be nice. But hey. Lets keep pretending there is no problem with only letting people reserve a pair if they are within city limits at the time of the preorder

Yeah that's pretty dumb as well. Hopefully in the future they're able to add more areas to the confirmed app as well as fix the problem you just mentioned.

Times Square FTL pick up was horrible but well worth the wait

Hublot x Turtle Dove x Pirate Black

Adidas on Fulton in BK wasn't so bad besides every Chase card being declined so had to leave the store walk two blocks down to get cash and then make the line to pay again. How was Time Square? I bet a lot of lurkers asking to buy and looking shady as sh*t.
