ADIDAS X YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL 2016 THREAD - (NO LC PICS PLEASE!)

[staffsgtdignam]

So... Balenciagas, Saint Laurents, or RIck Owens are "worth" that much money? You and I know damn well they are only worth that much because of the name attached to them. I bet if you broke it down, the cost to make a pair of Yeezys is probably comparable to the cost to make one of those "high-end" shoes. 

Exactly. I can't believe the dude literally tried saying one designer was worth more than any other. Ironically, Adidas invests much more into their shoe tech than designer brands do (simply because designer brands can sell footwear on brand/name recognition alone). There is much less of an incentive for innovation, in these cases.

Cool cat lol

Damn if olives and whites are that close i might get rid of these whites. Will be close to an even trade if i can get $425 for the whites and grab these reds for $475

Cool cat lol

That dude is the worst!!!!!

 

[sgaldis]

I know, the shade of 'white' is the only disappointment with this shoe. I was just looking at them earlier in hand, and if it was a normal, brilliant white, this would probably be the sickest v2 to date.

My whites are coming in from ADC so ill have to wait and see for myself in person.

Im trying to make the smart decision money wise. The greens are like the medium of white and copper and the reds are their own thing.

Im a sucker though so ill probably keep them all

There is some truth in that. While Adidas spends a ton on R&D, designer brands tend to have better QC / construction / material. Majority of these designer shoes are made in Italy and you really can't compare the leather on those to those of Adidas / Nikes. Both are comfortable in their own ways. For the casual office some CPs / MMM / SLPs are nice.

If you buy yeezys at resale you're as dumb as they come.
No history, no background.
Pure hype

 

[DROMONTANA]

Would you guys trade DB7 for the white v2?

No way.. DB7 are super limited and unique with a story behind them.. Signed pair of those went for 46,000.

But like dude said its your property and preference.. I personally think v2s look ugly and like house slippers.. I just cop to resell to the hypebeasts

just insulted half of NT 

 

[classxsick]

Dam I only hit one pair off of FA. Put in about 8 FNL raffles and 10 pacsun raffles and didn't hit on any of them. Compared to Black Friday V2s I got 5 pairs lol

 

[scrubstoreowner]

 
just insulted half of NT 

And?

Half of NT insults each other on the daily

Hes right, paying resell is dumb.

OMG I dont have a pair of effin shoes, what will I ever do with myself?

if you absolutely have to have something, that's on you.

its something else to have your possessions define who you are, but thats another can of worms

 

[airraab]

 NiceKicks and other site pics had them looking White  ^^

 

[dre day i3]

But in Comfort

V2> V1

I'll beat these boyz down with no worries


v1's I walk with care

Painful having paint literally scratch off V1's

 

[marss]

im not sure but would resale skyrocket on the zebra stripe 2017 yeezy?, really want these ones to wear and might have to sell a black base one to fund it

 

[magic872]

You realize Yeezys are only worth how much people are willing to pay for them, right? Maybe you should graduate from middle school and realize that the market dictates value and not what you determine goods "should" be worth.

It amazes me people as stupid as you are granted internet access.

Very true. That's is why it baffles the ish out of me that people on CL are trying to get $600 or $650 for the black/whites when you can get them for way cheaper on StockX and GOAT.

 

[modelsandpizza]

After having them for a day now, my thoughts on the "Oreo" colourway has softened a bit. Definitely would prefer if they were a starker white (no racist) but compared the other colourways, I find them to be the cleanest one yet.

"Oreo" > "Red" > Copper/Green,, in my opinion

True; especially when you don't have to factor in Grailed fees, PP fees, shipping, etc. (well maybe gas money but still)

 

[vzy085]

Reds are the hottest ones, oreos.... Cooper then green imo

 

[starfox070]

Ok now we pocket watching.

News flash some people have way more money than you

Or

Just sold Somme shoes they don't wear any more to cop yeezys resell.

Many ways people afford resell.
