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

Again...I've stated this many times...I just don't get some of the Kanye and fashion stuff.

If he's a talented musician...fair enough.  Just because I can't relate to him personally, I can appreciate if someone is talented in their field.

Clothing is another thing.  What's so inventive about a long t-shirt, a tied flannel shirt, or in that picture (minus the Yeezys of corse) a baggy sweatshirt?

Seeing some posts on IG/Twitter mimicking some of his attire remind me of a scene from Forgetting Sarah Marshall...



Again...just me.  I'm typical middle/suburban American, so that could be it, but it just baffles me.

His influence.. You hating but everyone wearing it. He's a fashion icon, accept it and move on. You're in this topic because of his fashion
 
That's the kind of kid who's gonna wear the **** out of those, clean the bottoms, go to a sneaker event and try to sell as vnds or ds in some cases.

Not hating...simply just don't understand it.  I get the fact that he's a fashion icon to a lot of people....I personally just don't see why.

I'm not a Yeezy fan in terms of most of the shoes w/ the exception of the Blink/Solar CWs.  I think that combination of the black/solar/green really pops.  It looks good on about any silhouette you put it on.

I have no fashion sense, so take it for what it's worth.  I'm just a fan of shoes.

I'm in the thread because I was lucky enough to be on the phone the moment the tweet went live and got lucky on a pair.  Ironically, I sold my pair to purchase Jordan's (DB5s and Royals so far) I've missed out on along the past few years.  As much as I LOVE MJ...he also has no style (at least IMO).  Not hating on him either, maybe he does dress well...again...I just don't see it.
 
Theres really not much to understand. Actors, celebrities, musicians, etc. all influence our culture. People admire them, the good ones and the bad ones, and think whatever they do is the "in" thing. And if they conform to the "in" thing, they will be socially accepted or recognized. Its not just Kanye though, I mean look at Miley, she has a ton of girls wanting to be like her. Just a trend though, and trends come and go whether you like them or not.

I honestly don't care, it's his on stage outfit which I've seen other celebs go crazier with their on stage wardrobe.. Like Proto has stated numerous of times before, whether we like it or not he has played a factor on how a lot of us dress today.. Unless you're from the south and still wear tall tees and baggy jeans.. Lol

those tans are missing the light pink part of the liner.

they do look good, but i'm glad that colorway is exclusive to the 1's...
 
How much do 1s fetch these days. May start looking to complete a set. Sz 11

Typical ebay prices are $1650-2000 for DS Zen Grey's and Tan's (actually selling). Black/pink's fetch $2500+ DS (DS black/pinks rarely come up). I'm the same size and have that saved as a search.
