I hope the statement "everyone that wants Yeezys will get Yeezys" happens. I hope that the "market" is saturated and people who really wants to wear them can get them without paying someone's rent for the month to do so. I know unless a new design REALLY wows me, I won't be jumping through hoops for Yeezys ever again.

How is the sizing of the ultra boost? I'm a size 8 in stan smiths if that helps.

You can go TTS, I went TTS in mine (sz 11 in Nike) and they fit good. For my next pair though I plan on going .5 down to get a more snug fit (similar to what I did for the YZY PB).

Im just tired of stores taking advantage of the hype. Not talking about stores trying to get publicity im talking about the ones that make you buy something for a ticket. If it means making them a GR then ill be happy.
 
honestly I dont want them to be widely available , it might sound stupid but I love rare shoes ,heats... I would hate if I see them on every feet like Huaraches

Lol I don't.

In his three years of being on NT, he hasn't posted in any other threads besides yeezy related threads.

Obviously the beast wants them exclusive..

But he's still honest unlike 99% of the people that bought these shoes... and 110% of the people that paid resale. For most people their first and only Adidas shoe is a Kanye West shoe (the reason they bought it) and the most laughable reason is that people bought em for the comfort, boost has been around for a while but now all of a sudden its a hot commodity. Ive always thought the 750 was garbage and I still do, liked the 350 from the very first pics because it looks just like a Roshe but I prefer the Roshes, especially at the pricepoint. Miss me with that primeknit and boost value BS as well, half of that 200 MSRP comes from his name alone. Cool looking slipper but anything over retail and you're just riding the mans nuts.

If you look at it from that point of view which could be said for any hyped released.

I'm just not a fan of people grabbing shoes based upon the only factor being exclusive.

I'm a big fan of the 350, and to me it looks much better than the roshe (roshe are not all that for comfort either).

Boost tech is killing Nike right now, I have plenty of boost shoes and man are they insane.

I guess my point is, as you pointed out "on the mans nuts", I don't respect any one on this board that's only here for yeezy related topics.



Also, that's my point of view hate or love it - IDC
 
I love your point of view and I respect it. You're right about the hyped release thing though, it's everyones NEED to fit in, it's only reason dudes are paying $1000 for Fragment 1s, just to show it off to other males and be part of that "crowd" ...as much as I like the 350s, everytime I've seen them being worn the person is always dressed like an ***hole. Some young *** pants and a t-shirt 2 sizes too big :smh:

Roshes are plenty comfortable and look better to me, different strokes I guess.

I'm a big Kanye fan, and have owned Adidas before his collab.

The 350's priced at $200 is over priced? :lol: You can't compare these to roshes. I have roshes and they aren't nearly as comfortable. If you really think they compare to Roshes then of course they're overpriced in your eyes. Adidas Ultra Boosts cost $180 so how is $200 overpriced for a collab with Kanye? Furthermore, if you compare Adidas's other collabs with other luxury brands then you'd realize that this collab is on the cheaper side. Y3, Raf, etc.. all are priced $300+... Look at Raf x Adidas collab, these guys rebranded the Stan Smiths and selling it for $450 :rofl:
 
Roshe the **** a few years ago when they were limited but just like anything they got played out the same thing will happen to the 350. The only reason adidas has had any hype this year is cuz they stole nikes play book most ppl on there **** rite now has probably never coped adidas before this year the ultra boost is the only shoe worth talkin about. And nike already did it with the presto 15 years ago. Primeknit is weak compared to flyknit and yea boost is comfy but it's just some squishy foam that's a lil softer than lunarlon I wouldn't go as far to call it tech and finally Yeezys are just plain lazy 350&750 thats why there so easily faked that's why ull never fooled by a y1 replica (not even close) remember everyone initial reaction to leaked 750. I was horribly disappointed now I'll sit back and wait for the angry mob

Why can I not compare these to Roshes? they're both shoes, they're both very minimalistic, the 350 obviously took inspiration from the Roshe and I believe it does look good in it's own way but the boost sole ain't worth another $125 bucks so the 350s are overpriced in my opinion. I don't care how much the Ultra Boost is, they have nothing to do with these, there are shoes with boost at my local marshalls. For this shoe which is basically a slipper that has a stitch up the middle yeah... 200 bucks is alot. I've seen the other collabs and they're ridiculous as well.
 
i think people get their jimmies rustled when the yeezys are compared to such a "gr" sneaker model.

I'm a huge kanye stan. I love the 350 boosts, but listen y'all they're comparable to a roshe. 

granted they are on a better set of wheels and the exterior may be more "lush" with prime knit.

dont kid yourselves, the two shoes are comparable.

but i would pay that $130 mark up for the "tech" and the signature

exactly what ive been saying for awhile. you can get into prime knit vs mesh and flynit. you can get into boost vs phylon and the one/natural motion sole. but as far as over all aesthetics go the yeezys arent a game changer compared to some shoes that are already out. similar shape and similar color blocking. 
 
A PERSON NEVER OWNING ADIDAS SHOES AND COPPING 350S OR 750S IS NO EXCUSE TO LACK RESPECT FOR SOMEONE... THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT NEVER OWNED A JORDAN 1 UNTIL 2013 WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYONE WANTED A PAIR OR FOLKS THAT NEVER OWNED A PAIR OF FOAMPOSITES UNTIL THE GALAXY PAIR DROPPED AND IT OPENED UP PPLS' EYES THAT NORMALLY DIDNT LOOK TO FOAMS..

ME, PERSONALLY, I NEVER HAD A PAIR OF ADIDAS, BUT ME LIKE SOME OTHERS HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET A PAIR OF YEEZYS EVER BECAUSE IT WAS BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE NEXT TO SLEEPING IN STREETS WHICH I WASNT LOGICALLY WILLING TO DO. THAT BEING SAID, IM NOT BUYING EVERYTHING HE PUTS OUT JUST BC.. I STILL HATE THE 750S AND THOSE BOOTS ARE HIDEOUS BUT TO EACH HIS OWN AND I AGREE WITH SOME OF WHAT HAS BEEN SAID... CAN SHOES BE COMPARED.. YES THEY CAN AND SO CAN 350S BECAUSE COMPARING IS WHAT MAKES YOU SAY LEBRON 12S ARE UGLY BUT THE 9S ARE GREAT ETC.

AS FOR NOT RESPECTING SOMEONE THATS ONLY IN YEEZY THREADS..IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME WHEN THIS ENTIRE SITE WAS CREATED TO DISCUSS SHOES YOU LIKE AND THATS WHAT HE SEEMS TO DO. IT ISNT HIS PRIORITY TO PARTICIPATE IN OTHER THREADS. AND TO ADD TO THAT... THERE ARE PPL WHO GO INTO A THREAD OUT OF PURE INTEREST AND SEE A NEW MODEL (EX. NEXT LEBRON SHOE) AND WILL SAY "THESE ARE UGLY"... AND GUESS WHAT SOME PPL DO....... THEIR REPLY IS "SO THEN DONT POST HERE" LMAO... SO I DONT SEE A DAMN THING WRONG WITH HIM ONLY POSTING IN A YEEZY THREAD BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION

GOOD DISCUSSION THOUGH FELLAS 8)
 
No matter how much pairs they release these won´t feel like a GR for a while. Because it´s a Yeezy it will still sell out and appear on eBay for 800 bucks. To me the tan, white and silver (are there even two different pairs for white and silver?) look so similar to the Turtle Doves that I can´t imagine myself getting one of these. I still think most people will eat them up though.
