Ok all celebs being part of Kanye's camp, meaning if YOU WAS NOT INVITED TO KANYE'S WEDDING YOU ARE NOT GETTING THESE FROM ADIDAS FIRST HAND. Catch my drift? As you can see Kanye gave his pair to Dave Chapelle, you know how many celebs sent their "do boys" to cop pairs to flight club or to stand outside the adidas store and offer stupid cash for these? $2,000 is nothing to a celeb. I'm sure the ATHLETES at the combine came from big ADIDAS schools like WISCONSIN, LOUISVILLE, UCLA, ETC.. Thanks.

I don't think Drake and The Weeknd are part of Kanye's camp...
 
Looks like the 28th is not gonna be a happy day for NYers. Both KITH and DSM not going to release them.

How many celebs got care packages? As quoted my Joey Bada$& (a d list celeb), NIKE THEMSELVES SENT HIM A CARE PACKAGE, after release date he came home to a package from Nike and he opened the box and RED OCTOBER YEEZY 2's were in the box, sent DIRECTLY FROM NIKE. Watch the interview on Vladtv. Do you know how many pairs of Y2's Nike sent to celebs, athletes and people of their CAMP. Bro I'm not even gonna waste my time anymore. Nike sending care packages to everybody and the rest are thrown out like BONES to boutiques and the average consumer oh and let's not forgot the resellers that eat them up with their bots. Thanks.

Bro take a breather. All I know is Kanye been handing out these boosts like Oprah to celebs. And while he was on Nike he himself stated he had to pay resale to hand em out. Red Octobers are a different story. Nike didn't know what to do with them so they gave em away and released em. And I know for a FACT there are still a couple thousand pairs sitting in the Memphis warehouse. Word is they will be destroyed but who knows.

Nike's been giving out Yeezys to celebs in Asia.

Adidas (or Kanye himself) been giving out Yeezy 3s to celebs in Asia as well.

Not surprised that they give out a lot of pairs here.

Look at Consortium releases from last year.. King Push, Stan Smith pack, Primeknit Boosts, etc. None of these shoes restocked, not even once.

I'm hoping they do continue to produce these, but dudes acting like they have it all figured out is laughable.

But not every limited Originals release is a Consortium release. All the Pharrell Stan Smiths were produced in big numbers.

However, I'm with you on this. Most likely, these won't have restock after restock like many people hope. I wouldn't rule a restock out completely, though. Maybe Adidas decides to cash in on these and release them again. But I'm fairly sure the original plan was to only release the limited number of pairs we see being dropped at the moment.

Should make NT members only.. no free-viewing. Could also add some sort of a feature to get confirmed, like post a pic of one of your personal collection grails, tagg'd or something. Just a thought. Members only community.

From a business POV they make more money keeping it open, since people will click advertisements and such.. I believe new members have to wait 30 days to post

I hear you. And I can't lie, I lurked randomly for years (as a guest) and was a poster over on NSB back in the day... but in reality, the whole online launch/bot/pre-release URL thing wasn't really relevant back then, at least to me. It was just like hey, these stores with these premium accounts are getting the kicks, time to make a million phone calls, camp out or pay someone to back door you a pair. Now in the even more-so digital age, where certain shoes are MOSTLY or ONLY being launched online, it's like a whole new ball game. Perks for members, as long as we don't gotta pay ends for it, lol.. but hell, if getting an edge on copping certain releases costed me a few bones, then you know I'd be down for that 8) As I'm sure most would.

Smart move if they restock these again or 2. Due to "high" demand from consumers these will sell no matter. Even if most people get a pair the resellers are going to buy up all the rest of the pairs and eventually sellout again. Im just on my BS lol
 
just in sc & sz was told send their pairs back  to the warehouse

I've seen guys that have been here for years posting stupid crap everyday. Quality>>> quantity.
 
UPS playing games with my heart, man.

Tracking said delivery scheduled for tomorrow and then woke up this AM with an email from UPS saying package delayed until Thursday.

They'll be worth the wait though so I'll be patient.
 
I can see it now.. "Inner-circle" premium NT accounts. If you're found spreading "inner-circle" info via social media or on the forum, PERMA-BANNED... 8) hah
