went with a 10 instead of an 11 due to all the sizing comments I saw.

the sub currently has 52,000 subscribers. mostly little teens/early 20's. but reddit itself is pretty awesome, or used to be. the nfl/nba subs are still top notch and /r/sneakers is decent

/r/sneakers is pretty much jordans or bust. post yeezys and all youll get is hate, post a gr Jordan that everyone else is posting at the same time and rake in upvotes.

You laugh but sz 13 for $850 was the lowest to be had from Flightclub and now gone after 1 day. It is now back up to $1000.

Yeah i'e seen flightclub do that with some other shoes too, lower prices a little bit to clear out stock then once they sell them they raise the price back up and people begin to regret not copping, makes people more likely to cop next time fc lowers their prices.

 I mean are you busting out of them? If the sides of your feet don't push the material the sides of the shoe (a little, but especially a knit pair of shoes) then they're too big man

Im a size 9 can fit into 9.5. I have a sz 10 and they fit just fine. Barely any extra room.

I'd like to believe you but .... :lol:

Of course a size 9 can fit into a 9.5.. but you're the only person I heard sizing up. :nerd:

But what trend has he really started though? SRS question...

Kanye is a master of hyping something up to a whole other level but as far as truly and originally starting a trend, I don't think I can think of one.

He takes many cues from all over the place but they are not originally his.

For example... Jerry Lorenzo... I have followed him since before his FOG label blew up (thanks to Kanye) and Kanye has simply bit on A LOT of this guys style... And Jerry's isn't really original per se... He took many cues from other established designers and brands and put his spin on them. But just to name a few examples... trainers (Flyknits, Visvims, Y3, etc.) with destroyed or light wash denim combined with neutral and muted colors... this was Jerry's personal look since before his brand, and this is how he dressed when Kanye met him... Now you can see a HEAVY J. Lorenzo influence in everything Kanye does. Shoot even the whole Chelsea boot look and vintage band tees was seen on J. Lorenzo WAY before Kanye...

J. Lorenzo is just an example... Don C, Virgil, Taz, Murakami, Jasper, etc. have all had to do with Kanye's many different looks and phases. Kanye has a good eye and picks out certain looks he likes and runs with him... then as we have seen countless times... the masses follow.

With this being said, I am a Kanye fan but I figured I throw that out there because people seem to give him way more credit than he deserves as far a an innovator in the fashion industry.

Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread.

You're absolutely correct.. Furthermore, most people are not familiar with the names you dropped so once Kanye (the popular one) wears it.. it is automatically associated with Kanye starting the trend, just because of his fame. In Kanye interviews I've seen where he discusses his style/design he gives a lot of credit to the people you've mentioned.

I'm normally 11.5-12 in most shoes and downsized to 11 on these and it's too snug of a fit. I have narrow feet so width is fine but my toes are all poking at the end and that's wearing them without socks.
