Nike Air Yeezy Red October 2 Thread Officially Released VIA NDC 2/9. No BUYING/SELLING/TRADING.

I don't want to disrespect Memphis or Proto, but guys the numbers about the RO and Solars or Plats you are talking about are just speculations. I don't know this guy PO, but I do know that Solars and Plats were sold in Europe and in the US (probably also in Asia) not only online but also in stores. You assume that there were a lot more RO available online that Plats or Solars? Come on. That doesn't even makes sense, for me at least. But that's my opinion.

PS: @DJ Proto J  your pics a few pages back were absolutely great! Glad you got your pair.

Thanx man.

On the contrary, everything else is just speculation, but PO's word is not.

It's not my place to say how he is connected, but just know that he is, and he is not speculating.

For the record, RO's released in all the same places you listed, just all online. And compared to the last release, it def seemed like a lot more NTers got pairs this time than last (just more seemed interested in selling than keeping).

I actually like the fact that they all released online for retail cuz it kept the camping madness out of the equation (cuz generally the only people capable of camping that long are little kids and people with no jobs)... So these boutiques couldn't have people camping for days only to mark them up to $1,500 +, like last time. I'd be mega pissed if I camped for days and still had to pay rape.

At the same time tho, I kinda would rather some of these boutiques who are struggling, who jump thru crazy hoops to have a Nike account, constantly getting stuck with crap Nike's that don't sell, have a bone thrown to them by Nike and get to make some money. A lot of boutiques are honest people who work hard and deserve the come up, where as sneaker heads making money off of these put in no work, they just happened to see the tweet and act in time, from the comfort of their home or phone, resulting in making thousands of dollars (the only ones I am happy for are obviously those who are keeping them to wear, and those who flipped them to cop some releases they've missed out on)...
 
Man.. Why did most of the pairs have to fall into the hands of scumbags!?
Trying to acquire these is some bs.. Already had somebody on eBay flake..
Now the only person in the state with my size done flaked on me..
Offers are beyond reasonable too.. Dudes are really out to pillage the market..
Talkin bout they got a better offer at the last minute and want me to add $200 more..
Smh.. If I don't get a pair before my trip to Nigeria I'm just gonna give up..
/rant

@DJ Proto J I still disagree with you on the numbers issue but as I said, it's just my opinion. These were made if not in the same numbers (most probably) then in lower.

I agree with you 100% on the boutique thing. Some owners deserved a pure hit and the money that goes along with it. Some others had the previous Yeezy IIs for their stores and still sold over eBay, these are scumbags (I keep my mouth shut). But to shoot on those that got lucky is, I don't know how else to put it, at least false. I got a lot of saltiness from others because I was lucky - even for getting two. I put a lot of effort in getting these, I was always informed, kept others informed and that might didn't helped in the end, but I deserved it. So please (i am not addressing you proto) stop talking about the random "dudes", not Kaneys biggest fans that got the shoes, sold them and are the evil side of the sneaker story.
I am also going to sell one off my pairs, only for the right amount of money and to the guy I trust. Most of the guys *****ing around for the prices of these are those that would bleed you out instead of making a better price on one of their sneakers. I know what I am talking about - had my experience in the hunt for my Toro V.

You could buy a house in Nigeria for the same price as these.

I believe Nike produced more RO's than they actually sold
 
I'm still unsure what to do with my pair.

Got so many grails on my list, I'm  starting to think I could get one/some of them.

Do you think anyone would trade RO's with Tokyo V + Bin VII ? Those are the love of my life  ^^
 
Why are we still talking about how many pairs of each Y2 was produced?

Does it really matter? :lol:

Didn't read every page but I'm not sure if I should feel bad for OP. A little too trusting

Haha he deserves it, you gotta be super dump to bring them to school and store them in a locker.

Well he isn't dumb for wearing them...but he is dumb for putting them in the locker...why would you put something so valuable in a locker that can be easily broken into... :\
