View media item 1417128There is no way demand for these shoes is higher than Jordan XIs, supply is just way lower. Desperation and thirst is higher hence the idiots that will pay +1k but he aint selling 200k of these shoes :lol: guarantee they sit after that group of people that love kanye buy em up because there are more resellers than actual fans after these shoes.

I think he was saying demand is higher for the XIs, so they can sell out 200k units. Whereas 200k units of these would be sitting.

:lol: I thought he was saying 750 demand was higher... people want Boosts way more but way more people want the XIs. I hate these ugly *** 750s but the roshe looking ones are halfway decent.

Picking up the all black Qasa highs was one of the best sneaker buying experiences in years. I called the Y-3 store, preordered and they shipped them to me for free. Zero hassle.

guarantee if they produced the same amount as XIs that they would sit after that group of people that love kanye buy em up because there are more resellers than actual fans after these shoes.

Yes...but on reservation basis via the app.

Yeah i checked the app and it had a different screen that after the intial release of the NYC pairs. Any idea of when the reservations are gonna be available? And do you have to be in a specific zone like last time?

Apparently a rep for adidas told Complex that the app isnt going to be used for the global launch.

chance of getting these is basically slim to none if stores are doing "raffles." hopefully adidas will reconsider using the app.

So....

Today a bunch of yeezy boosts came into the hub

Like 300 pairs

But no info attached to the shoes

Check my email


They are return to Adidas due to broken zippers from the nyc release

Also found out employees got first dibs on yeezy boosts at footlocker champs etc..

Reading in between the lines here. I used to work for HOH and first dibs for us is nothing new. That's always the case. 15% stock is allocated to employees on every release, maybe more depending on your manager. So this means Adidas is running the fl champs and foot action releases again, implying that the app will come back into play.

I hope so but i doubt it. they need to tell people how theyre releasing them or if they are at all. theyre making it sound like theyre leaving this release to the retailers and adidas itself has nothing to do with the distribution of pairs as far as selling them this time.
 
Still trying to find a pair within 700-800 range.. no luck.. guess I gotta wait until the 28th.. good luck guys.. Ain't no way Im gonna drop 1200 on these.. 
 
I feel like a pothead in a crack den looking through this thread. I thought I was crazy over shoes, I feel much better about about my addiction now.

Any word on New England and what the drop situation is over here?
Click to expand...

New England (minus Boston) seems to be outta luck with these. I asked @vampire xtc that same question last Sunday night and he suggested the online route. I thought that we might have a glimmer of hope at the various HoH locations at least, but apparently no dice.

lol at the beanie baby sneaker comparrison

also a MASSIve lmao at some of the reference shoes people said started "the hype" again

look this will never end

it simply just shifts

im an older head on here im 35

i use to be a MASSIVE collector

by the time i was 25 years old i had just over 2500 pairs of shoes yes 2.5K+(DS and worn pairs total)

now a lot of those were doubles even triples of stuff i even had 5 pairs of certain pairs like infared airmax 90's etc...


wanna know what i learned?

whats hyped today

in 5 years 90% of the time loses all its value


and something else gains that hype in its place


delta force mita's use to be like 250 bucks which was considered good back then



i seen a pair DS end a few weeks back for 34 bucks SHIPPED


99-05 jordan drops would collect dust on shelves and hit sale racks on the regular


ironically they are the most valuable jordans today many of which started being remastered

but back then everyone was on deltas forces sb dunks

now its the complete opposite

i mean i wear all brands as im a junkie granted a reformed junkie but still a shoe junkie lol

the runner market has EXPLODED past 3-4 years

the hype shifted over

many would say the runne rhype is dyin down since resell on pairs is not what it once was and im all for it lol


but anyway my point is it will never stop

might cast some shoes in the shade eventually(af1 delta current sb market)

but its shining bright on jordan and KD lebron etc...


being an older guy im thrilled to cop older stuff young dudes dont care for or know existed

i seen k dice dragon af1 sell for 400

when those dropped 1.2K was like a steal price lol

sorry for the stalker 36 hour delayed reply but dude THIS. I'm pretty damn similar to you in age and I share the same opinion about the "shoe game" all around. Glad I'm not alone here, much respect. 
 
So what's the release then for Saturday? Only a small amount for boutiques? No online? What the hell is going on here?
