ADIDAS x YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL THREAD *2016 thread link 1st page*

[mikeyfabs]

Latest news is that Adidas is running around like chickens with their heads cut off. They're catching fire from this release.

They can't fill allocations to their accounts and trying to get production to meet orders.

As of today, Los Angeles release is on hold till further notice. Boutiques got their shipments but most are being backdoored.

My info comes from YEs camp, not Adidas. As the info comes in I'll let you know of any updates.

So like I said adidas is acting like a 13 year old about to bet laid and pre cumming in their pants

I would stay away from the gram on this one, you're are paying too much to risk getting scammed, buying a pair from ebay is much safer.

SBs will make a return, i have hopes. lol

SB are going to come back only a matter of time, the de la soul high def had me looking

I think it's funny how some people in here talk about Adidas not having enough clout or not knowing anything about economics as if this were the first shoe they release or they were a tiny little niche company like Saucony. They're the second biggest sportswear manufacturer in the world. They didn't get there by chance, they got there because they know what they're doing.

And the fact that this thread went from a little activity caused by a few people liking the shoe and a lot of people ridiculing it to the madhouse it is only further proof to me that they did everything right with this release. They have everybody going crazy for a shoe that two weeks ago almost no one liked made by a company a lot of Nike Stans didn't seem to know existed.

for people eager to pay resell already, i would reconsider until after 3/26.

why would they drop online then?  they could have sent those pairs to stores

or they could do just the US as opposed to trying to release overseas on the same day

last i checked flight club moved 4 pairs of 10 at $1750. over the weekend. 

but then ive seen ebay pairs in those sizes sit with no bids at 1200.

i think youre looking at 1100-1200 on ebay. with some concern over feedback.

most people are worried about the scams that happened with yeezy 2s so i think thats why consigments such as flight club are moving pairs because these same people feel that these will eventually reach at least yeezy 1 prices and theyre 1500 spent at flight club due to safty and peace of mind is worth it.

Thank you. That's where I'm at too. The pricing is way too crazy to just go out and pay straight up right now. I have personally never even bought off ebay so the same can be said for me with my FB at 0 LOL. It's tough!!!!

Definitely avoid most of those IG "wholesalers" 99% of them only accept WU or some other payment form with little buyer protection. Most of those guys are using other people's pictures anyways

Thank you. I seen a female selling a pair as well and wanted 650-750 and I just felt like this is a scam straight up cuz shes fine as hell lol

Thank you. As a last resort. I have a sneaker event this weekend so If i "miss" saturday which i highly likely. Ill try to score at the event. if not there. ill do some digging. What sucks about the event too is i aint trying to walk up in there with 1200 lmao...

 

[jking0821]

Crazy how many people hated these when the first images came out and how now they're so highly sought after.

Thats how it always works

It works like this because of resale prices. Now the people that hated the shoe do not care because they will cop and flip for a cool $1,000 Profit. Its not people are like oh now i want them because they are limited people are like oh now i want to them because its an easy $1,000. Sit on internet....hit refresh for an hour...get lucky get a pair...put on ebay make $1k. Easiest $1k ever.

Now just flood the market with them so the people that actually like the over all design of the shoe can get theirs for retail and resellers won't be so thirsty either

for people eager to pay resell already, i would reconsider until after 3/26.

I'd wait until after the 2/28, 3/26 is mostly, if not only a europe release. Pairs will start drying up in the states by that date

man aint nobody waiting a whole other month, plus thats mainly EU. After the 2/14 release in NYC only "I wouldn't pay resale wait until the 28th", now that the 28th aint looking good its "I would wait until the 26". This not a shot at you or anything, mainly just a general thing.

I'm trying to. but im at the point where i have the cash so lets do it. I did save up for this sole reason.

Plus not going to lie... little extra spending cash with taxes.

But come the 26 would love to try and double up haha... but the way stuff is going. its not looking good

 

[alp]

poor Adidas. get some hype and don't know how to act lol

You can't get more hype then kanye
Some hype was the pusha ts and they handled thosewell

 

[sneaksfiend]

Could a ds RO get me 2 pairs of boosts? Cant believe im even considering that. I think im better off holding onto my RO and just cash out on a pair of boost before prices rise.

 

[alp]

Could get you four pairs

 

[sneaksfiend]

Could get you four pairs

I'm not going to do that man lol...

Giving up a RO for these is not very bright lol...

 

[vinotwofour]

I'd say 3 pears of boosts is worth 1 RO. But I'd hold onto the RO

 

[gxl301]

i think after 3/26 more pairs will start showing up on ebay as the orders fill in. The prices we see now are mad inflated. i think a month down the line prices will dip down to under 1k. imo

Yup. If you were serious I would've found two boosts for you though.

I dont see it honestly bro... They will stay or rise and settle at 1500

Nah. Once all the releases are done unless they are mass mass produced price will go up. Ppl holding on to hope at this point

Trying to grab now before the rise.... if prices do drop wont drop under 1k so im not losing much

Nah by the 26th, most people would have already panicked from missing out on the 28th and would already be looking at the resell market. With the 26th more of a europe release, you won't even see most of those pairs for sale to the states for average price. Strike after the 28th because people will be unloading it for a fear it might get even more flooded with more release dates

We shall see fellas..

 

[gxl301]

if really 9000 pairs were made, i just have a hard time believing that the 200 some pairs on the bay is it. either people are really hold on to these or adidas not telling us everything. i see some restocks happening after the 3/26.

 

[snapreme]

Well Ye did say that he didn't want them to be limited and it was Adidas. Maybe he meant this first batch release is limited. But don't write that in stone.

as far as the lows go, they will sell themselves because of what they're associated with. The hype is there without the need of limiting the 750's. That trick can also backfire, if limiting a shoe is meant to make consumers get the next best thing (boost lows), it can also make people not want anything to do with the company like you said. Not everyone is willing to settle for the next best thing.

Completely agree. Not understanding why people assume everyone is willing to "settle" for the next best thing. I for one will not, it's either the 750 boost or nothing at all.
