I'm in the UK and can say that adidas were on lock down here long before you could even buy Nikes here. My first ever kicks in the early 80s were adidas gazelles. Whilst Nike still edges it here in desirability adidas is very popular. There is a world outside of Nike basketball and Jordan and there are plenty of people buying and wanting adidas releases in it. Check out the recent Eqt reissue or Stan Smith reissue. The quality on these put the average Nike release to shame. To say adidas is irrelavant pays disrespect to a significant percentage of the sneaker community.

This.

A lot of people lack that "world view" tho...

They think basketball and Nike rules the world. Meanwhile, soccer is actually ten times bigger across the planet, and Adidas runs that.

Not to mention all the hardcore sneaker / "trainer" / "runner" collectors from across the pond, who've been in the sneaker game for decades, have tons of sick Adidas models and colorways I wish I could track down. I was so relieved they finally retroed the OG colorway of the Torsion Integrals recently. Wanted those for forever and the OG's rarely came up for sale, much less in my size.

I still have my blue suede Adidas Campus's from the early 90's. Always preferred those over Shell Toes. Wish I had some of my other Adidas runners from back then. I have picked up a few Adidas runners over the years tho, like ZXZ 700's, and some others. Which have SICK colorways you can't find on Nike runners (plus their quality is better, Nike has dropped the ball terribly on their shapes and colorways of their classic runners. Like the Air Base II's for example, W T F was that crap?)...

People are just so caught up in Nike and Jordan hype that they don't realize there's a whole other world outside of their tiny little bubble. TRULY brainwashed.

I'm not gonna join the who's made more money argument, but regardless, Adidas is Nike's only true competitor. Ye will introduce some new heads to the brand, and make them a bit "cooler" in the street wear culture (and not seemed forced, like when officer ricky and swizzy wear boks, it seems like they're only wearing it for the money), and THAT is why Nike is taking the bigger L in this break up. All they had to do was give Ye his royalties...
 
I have a US9, looking for a trade for a 9,5.
And I'm probably one of the luckiest guy, my pair didn't have ANY glue stains.
 
 
So for all you RO owners who've tried them on/worn them.

TTS or is there a little wiggle room.

Looking at an 11.5 local but I typically wear sz 12.

Thnx

This is incredible. These sneaks are so hyped that people are paying between $500-1000 on ebay for fakes?

This is a new level of hypebeasting for kicks. :smh::lol:

Almost certainly shill bids 0 or Very low feedback on the buyers that are winning
 
When Kanye releases with adidas, I hope the Kanye adidas will look remotely close to what the nike yeezys looked like but different enough not to get sued.

If you have red yeezy and want crazy bread for them, dump them now, a stock is on it's way, not RESTOCK, a stock...

Alot better chance of these releasing in stores like Barney's (What Tuanye is saying) than stores like Champs, FTL, FNL. I wouldn't be shocked if this happened at all. People want these shoes and Nike no longer has any reason to continue to keep them hyped. Why not have a wider release?

lololol Hypebeast. I'd rather see him do some hideous pseudo Jeremy Scott's than do a re-hash of an old shoe with a different company. That's just weak.

because it would mean further promoting kanye west.

it's obvious they don't wanna do that, which is the reason this RO release got ZERO promotion from nike themselves.

can't see them doing this at all, cuz that would mean they put them back into production again since like december... well then why release the ones they just did a couple weeks ago? why not wait and release them all at once?
 
Its not going to be another release..celebs are already popping up with the freebees ..heck they were even sending pairs in different boxes and the whole nine..its over tho. The rest is wishful thinking
 
Y'all talking in endless circles.

Most of this convo either belongs in Legit Check or Sneaker Showcase at this point.

The release is water under the bridge now and they are never restocking...ever.

Never say "never" I remember a short time ago. These were "never" releasing... No need to hype it, but be aware that it's a possibility and take proper measures to at least give you a chance of copping in the event they do drop
