This is ******** though. 

He is with Adidas for his shoes, so yeah, he kind of is like H&M and Zara. This is not a little niche brand, it´s probably the second biggest sneaker and sportswear brand on the planet. 


As far as cloths go, his second season is all basic pieces. Unless these T-Shirts are a super dope quality and made in a western country there is no way they should cost more then 50 bucks. However he tries to spin it, a basic camo tee for 200 bucks is raping the people and milking every last dollar out of the hype that he has.

Yeah I agree with you on most of what you're saying but the clothes/shoes aren't in the same boat. I don't think people are complaining too much about the price of the shoes. They're generally in line with cost of similar sneakers/boots in this market. Season 1 wasn't manufactured in Adidas factories (to my knowledge) so it speaks to why the cost is high and of course Season 2 clothes aren't affiliated with Adidas at all.

Check the first 20 minutes of his interview from this week. He said I'm not H&m or Zara , I don't have a big team of designers and factories with hundreds of people in them. I WANT to make the prices lower at some point. But for now this is cool. People will be happy when they get a pair, and salty when they don't. I win anyway. The last part im paraphrasing but the message was clear as day.

Disgusting. He geeking man.
 
Yall wouldn't do the same if you could up charge based on your name alone?
 
There are 10x as many of the new 350 colourways being produced as there were for PBs and TDs, lots of sneaker retailers have already stated that b/c they were allowed to order 120 pairs from the Adidas catalog instead of 12 like with the earlier CWs.
 
That's not true every retailer though

While there are def more let's not act like we know the exact production numbers. Just a pet peeve of mine nothing personal

it's based on their ability to order 120 pairs rather than only 12 pairs.

Where was this announced? Hopefully it's true. Copping a pair of the TDs for both me and my girl was awesome but I don't know how often I'll be able to be that successful. Already struck out on the PBs for her.
 
Hoping for a pair of 750s.....for retail. Have the PB. Want the TDs. Not willing to pay the crazy prices for the grey 750s, so it's retail or bust lol
