Damn I hate this whole Yeezy release, its been a HUGE waste of my time. Why can't they just make enough so that at least people who are into collecting and

wearing shoes can get a pair.

I'm not saying they should make enough to fill every Footlocker, Champs, etc, in the country.

I just mean make enough so that those of us who want them badly enough to wait by a computer and drop 350 on them with out any hesitation can get them!

No click here then open another tab and then hope my order goes through. Because If I have the shoes in my cart a minuet after the shoe releases and still can't get pair, then the whole shoe game has gone to hell. 

Shoes are meant to be worn and enjoyed, not held by a few to shame others with; Only because they used the correct clicking pattern at the perfect moment or payed 5 times their retail value.

I'm not jelious of those who got a pair I just wish those of us who want them enough to discuss them on message boards could actually obtain a pair, we'll still be paying 350 for them!

Yesterday was not a legit release. It was either adidas getting rid of a very small amount of leftovers from NYC and/or b grades OR it was a small test, yes a TEST. I saw some people in here freaking out over the possibility of adidas running an online test. They have never experienced anything like this before. They need to see what it's like. You don't just dive into the deep end, you work your way there. I honestly believe yesterday only had a small number of Yeezys available. Had adidas just thrown them up on the site, bots would have eaten them alive. I've seen posts where some people who ran bots, came home, and had hundreds or THOUSANDS of pairs in their carts. I think this ****** with adidas servers and inventory and possibly explains why most of us couldn't check out. But this allows adidas to fix this issue, upgrade their serves/IT dept. and HOPEFULLY take some positive steps to fight bots like Nike began to do.

Just think about it. Where are all the pairs? Where are all the screen shots? eBay currently has 29 pairs of Yeezy Boosts in a size 9 right now. That's it. There were more Red Octobers than that. I think adidas is slowly releasing these things, and yes, gauging interest, gauging hype, and figuring it out on the fly. We will get more pairs and more opportunities to cop. I do think these will remain in a somewhat "limited" fashion regardless, to maintain hype, coverage, and all that jazz. But there will be more chances to get them (definitely more than Nike), don't fret. Regardless, their ******* shoes. If anything you saved $350-380. Go get some new clothes, pay some bills, take your girl or family out to dinner, invest in yourself. Just get trill. Be happy. Just shoes man. 
 
ok well here ill try to respond to everyone. 

-shoes are useful yes but you can go to payless to buy shoes remember that

-i was talking more about how ty warner started this whole 'oh these beanies are retired' thing that caused a frenzy, if NIKE/ADIDAS/REEBOK/ETC didn't say a sneaker was LIMITED half of you people wouldn't even look at them, they feed the trolls that way.

-to the guy who said he feels like a god in sneakers, well you must be 14 bc sneakers don't make you feel like god sorry

the general consensus to me is KIDS buy this hype while ADULTS are slowly hating this sneaker thing even people like me who have been a sneaker head for damn near 20 years and been collecting for the last 15 or so. I've been selling most of my stuff lately bc you have to strike when the market is hot, plus the need for 100 pairs just isn't there anymore for me at least
 
The one thing about camping vs online is that if you knew how many the store received and according to your place in line, you know you would be guaranteed a pair. Yea the wait was hell but to know that a bot or Internet malfunction can't stop you was blessed.

Sorry, but a billion dollar corporation doesn't need to "test" anything in a live production environment. The QA departments within their IT can run stress tests and all that stuff. There just aren't enough pairs of these shoes and they are limited. Regardless what Kanye says, these are limited. Ppl take his words and twist them as they please to make themselves feel better to be honest. For example, black 750's...he never said that. He said there is a black yeezy coming out but ppl keep taking the photoshopped pic and saying their going to wait for the black cause Kanye said their coming out. I hope they do but he never said that lol. Half the comments on IG show that ppl really believe these will be easy to cop, will be a GR, or the infamous, Kanye said everyone who wants yeezys will get yeezys quote lol.

Yea I see what you mean. With iPhones i won't understand because store will always restock. But I mean lines are everywhere. I used to see long line outside a coach store for a sale. All I'm saying is it seems like getting a hot shoe is left to chance. RSVPs, links, raffles. It's like you don't even know if you're gonna get it. At the end of the day if you have what you want you wouldn't care about what you looked like.
 
Before the drop I had 3 or 4 product pages up and 3 or 4 cart pages. I refreshed one of the the product pages @ 11:58 sizes popped up got all the way to the PayPal page hit continue and the page was just stuck there. Then I refreshed a couple of the cart pages and tried to check out again but left the first PayPal page alone then all of a sudden I get two emails 1 from PayPal and one from Adidas confirming my order. I never saw confirmation page.. Emails came @ 12:06.


Just got shipping as well
