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

[method]

Product was never available. Which was weird.

It said "product is no longer available" on my phone, but showed up fine from my computer. Weird.

 

[memphissfinest]

AS OF TODAY, IN REAL WORLD DEALINGS, RED OCTOBERS ARE SELLING BETWEEN $2,800 AND $3,500. THE INEVITABLE PRICE DROP IS WELL UNDERWAY.

 

[j0rdanxiii]

I find it hilarious that I was just in line for a Jordan that I had no intention to purchase and got an out of stock notification, but was able to scoop a pair of yeezys.

 

[method]

All you corny dudes who were laughing when I called the price drop right after they hit FC for $6k:

What now?

There isn’t and hasn’t been any price drop.   They have been selling for 3k since 2/9 and are still selling for 3k

Where are you seeing a price drop?

 

[dj proto j]

^ people just want these to stay as high as possible, cuz again, the majority of these ended up in the hands of resellers (that big of a potential profit turned people into resellers that aren't normally, lol)... more than all the other yeezy releases b4.

all of the sudden cats are acting like FC prices are the norm...

i'm gonna start referencing FC prices from now on for everything i sell or trade...

if anyone i'm negotiating with for these RO's tries to even mention FC type prices, i'm gonna make everything i'm trading FC prices... we'll see how that flies...

finally, some more people who know what they're talking about in this thread...

and memphis got multiples, so it ain't like he's just salty and hoping for the best cuz he came up short...

As someone who enjoys reading the threads, I can truly say I've never seen so much bickering about a shoe. There are really some hurt feelings over this release. Personally I think the prices will dip before going back up.

Where are you seeing a price drop?

a ton of people in this thread, on craigslist, and everywhere, seem to have thought these could take in anywhere between $5K - $7K, all day long, no problem...

the only 2 pair on my local CL have them up for like $5K and $6K...

while some pairs have and will sell for that, that's not the actual going rate, like people have been trying to imply (the wishful resellers with the dollar signs in their eyes)... that's all we're really saying...

for the first few days i saw a lot of $4K sales, but now they have dropped a bit, and will drop even lower... it's inevitable...

 

[_stephen.p_]

so for the most part, people who DIDN'T get the shoe are praying for a price drop for whatever reason.  and for whatever reason, can't understand why the people who DID get the shoe want the price to stay up.
at the end of the day, we pair $260 for the shoe so even if you sell for $2500, its a helluva comeup.

all the I TOLD YOU THE PRICE WOULD DROP bickering is real girly, imo.  so for those of us who got the shoe....the next person that says "i told you the price would drop", just reply with "yes, the price dropped, you were right" (so they can hush.  cause obviously they just want to be right about something)

I think all those crazy prices came from the first eBay auction, the multi million dollars. I'm pretty sure some people not at ease with reselling saw this auction and went crazy, displaying prices like 10k$ hoping they could get a super sky high price.

nah, it's not that we can't understand it... it's obvious why they want it to stay up...

and it's obvious why people who just really like this shoe and want to wear it want it to come down... cuz it's silly we have to be c-blocked to this degree, the hype and initial resell prices are uncalled for... it was blown out of proportion, and makes no sense (it is a great example of how out of control this whole "sneaker game" has gotten, a huge majority of it is driven strictly by money, and is really starting to make me wanna leave it all alone)...

all i've been saying is it is gonna drop, cuz that's how it always works, and yet, we've had all these wishful thinkers in here trying to swear on everything that they're gonna stay up, and act like FC prices are the norm now...

end of the day, i'm just glad they released. i obviously like this shoe and i like this colorway, and if it had remained unreleased i prolly woulda never attained them, cuz i wasn't gonna drop what they were going for for the few legit pairs floating around...

 

[bboyd]

Where you been riceNeggs??? They are posting that now strictly because the dudes you are telling to say "you were right".....yeah they were the ones the last 4 days making the "I TOLD YOU SO (that these won't ever sell for less than $6K)" posts. You're a little late to come in here and try to stop that, and since we know which side of that you're on that's really convenient too. Quit telling people what to post. No one cares what you want to read

I think all those crazy prices came from the first eBay auction, the multi million dollars. I'm pretty sure some people not at ease with reselling saw this auction and went crazy, displaying prices like 10k$ hoping they could get a super sky high price.

it was a combination of things, but i think more than anything it was the stolen pairs that were fetching $6K - $8K b4 release, i think a lot of people saw that, including the guys at FC, and thought "let's just roll with that number"...

like that story someone told in here the other day, about some consignment shop that had like 3 early pairs (was it ATC?) and the dude paid like $7K for each of them...

now he's screwed...

but i think resellers saw that people were paying numbers like that, and decided that was a place to start.

they didn't take into consideration that nike just released thousands of these, and while you may sell a few at that starting out, like any hyped release, the hype cools down, the market is flooded, and therefore prices come down.

the only reason i keep saying all of this is cuz i said this a week ago, cuz it's common sense, and just the way the sneaker market goes, yet a million people have tried to disagree, and SWEAR they're gonna stay up above $5K...

i had a dude on here message me a few days ago with my size 12 and refused to go below $5K...

i just laughed at him and told him he better send 'em to FC ASAP!

I'd also say that the story around the shoe (surprise drop, release cancelled etc...) drove people crazy and people were willing to pay that much before the release because they lost hope but now that they released the prices should go down due to the flood.

 

[rodneybrownjr]

Flight Club prices of course aren't the norm but why the hell would you sell yourself damn near $2000.00 short if you don't have to? I will say that window of time to get those prices from Flight Club is closing if not already closed and resellers will be working with 3k and below. And if resellers wait too long and stick to their guns it'll just be an overpriced novelty.

 

[kodiak79]

finally in...gonna post better pics later...i hate ups doesnt deliver on saturdays in germany! -.-

Or just a pair of shoes for me to wear. That's what you're supposed to do with them, right?

LOL.  I read the thread everyday.

but you just wrote "quit telling ppl what to post"....but you're telling me what i shouldn't post.  game over, you lost

and yes, i got the shoe.  if the price drops to 1500 in a year, oh well.  i still got the shoe.

if it drops to 500, i still got the shoe.  so i'm good either way.

 

[dj proto j]

 
 i guess i feel you. but truth be told, you probably wouldn't even want the shoe if there wasn't a ton of hype behind it. especially after reading about the quality of the shoe. so the hype factor is a catch 22. its driving you to want to pay $2000 for a shoe, and killing your chances at the same time.

and you're going to "leave the shoe game". turn down for what?? its in your blood and will always be.

i have mine listed on ebay for about $5000 and have turned down alot of local offers of $3000 cash. WHY you ask? hell, i don't even know.

well, that's where you're wrong.

hype has no effect on me. i pass on hyped shoes ALL the time. and i buy a lot of shoes with no hype at all.

i love shoes with straps (executed right), i love and have quite a few all red shoes, and these are the ULTIMATE red shoe with a well executed strap.

so these are a no brainer for me to add to the collection.

i hope his adidas efforts aren't my cup of tea, i will gladly pass, and be thankful i don't have to deal with any hassle or spend more money.

the way this hobby has been lately has just made me wanna bow out, at least from hard to get and expensive to get releases... it's gotten beyond annoying, and this release is the WORST.

I know you're excited,, sneakers look great.. but please tag your pics... we can debate a lot of things... but we all know for a fact, con artist are lurking for any chance they get to swindle someone, lets not make their job easier

 

[_stephen.p_]

 
Or just a pair of shoes for me to wear. That's what you're supposed to do with them, right?

exactly.  i think ppl are forgetting to add that into the equation!!

if the resell price drops to $275 one day, guess what, i still have the shoe and can rock it as intended

i do all my sneaker pictures on that old chair i got from granny, kinda thought nobody could fake that! 

but i see what you're saying...gonna keep that in mind! thanx! 

 

[rodneybrownjr]

Of course they are meant to be worn silly, they are called shoes. I just didn't wear mine for two reasons: My phone didn't add the right size for me and I like money more than I like shoes by a wide margin. I understand that people actually want to wear them but if you have an investment that can return your money 10+ times as long as it's unused and if you aren't hurting people why not attempt to get that return? It's a very rudimentary business model for profit.
