People are talking about the yellowing possibility after wearing the Zebras but who cares. They are gonna break necks and shoes get dirty from time to time. They are still going to rise in value over time and will still be worth more after you wear them than what they are selling for right now.

was wondering if the refresh method did the trick for most people who copped tho? initially waited patiently but as I see the numbers falling from 4k to 2k in a matter of minutes, i tried it but i guess RNYeezus wasnt on my side to get past that splash. watched til it dropped to 0.

Nope, i tried it for fun when stock numbers hit the hundreds and it didnt work at all.
 
You can't prevent it, you can only slow it down. There are products out there that can "reverse" the yellowing effect but I have never tried it. I personally am okay with it yellowing if I have owned it for a while or wore it.

who's neck are they breaking exactly? Just curious to know your thoughts.

Not sure about the material used for these but usually to keep clear material from oxidizing it's just keeping it clean and dry. Clean after wearing and keep in dark cool closet. Won't help forever but good rule of thumb.
 
Man I'm hoping I haven't ****** up on sizing for the v2s.

I copped belugas in septmeber in my TTS for adidas (10.5). The length is fine but the toebox presses down so tight on the top of my toes. They feel better if I take the insole out.

I haven't caught a W on v2s since breds and i also hit on the zebras...Both from YS. I went up half a size on both but since YS was slow on the breds I haven't had a chance to try an 11 on in the v2s. Hoping that they aren't huge on me.

Like I said, I wear a 10.5 in Ultraboosts (snug) and a 10.5 in AF1S. Wtih air maxes I usually wear an 11.

She can have a ring or those shoes. I'll let her pick
Only reason why she wants them is because "Zebras" are her favorite animal- she hates Kanye [emoji]128530[/emoji]

Pretty much anyone who's interested in sneakers IMO. Hypebeasts and yeezy enthusiasts will take a second look as well. To you disagree?

Too bad that's hardly any of the population. The majority of people will just look at you and think, "those are some ugly *** shoes". Just being honest, lol.

I guess I'm not that type and I can't picture someone being that way. I guess you are right.

IMO someone might look twice and keep it pushing but not to break a neck.

I have more important things that to pay attention to someone's kicks and be overly impress or impress at all for someone wearing some exclusive stuff.

However this are def different and I'm sure that the majority is going to think you have some ugly shoes on if that .. Not many people are into this **** ....

I saw a dude wearing the same outfit three days straight ...

The first day i knew dude just got his pair of breds and wanted attention, the second day I have him attention and told him nice kicks the 3rd day he actually was looking to me to make conversation .. Pretty sad if you ask me ....

Pretty sure you're good.

I don't get why people are overreacting when it comes to sizing up .5 like they'll be swimming in them.

My girl doesn't even like the Zebra V2's. I copped it for her because I've bought her every yeezy for retail so far so I wasn't trying to end the streak lol. But I told her I would gladly trade her size 5 away for another 8.5 double up and she said nah

No one buys Yeezys for "nostalgic reasons " it's for hype alone--

So you could a) resale b) "stunt" c)keep in your closet and tell people you have them.

Buy what you like ! Wear what you like ! Sell if you need extra money .

I would sell my rair shoes in a heart beat , but I would never never buy resale.

Maybe if you cancel, dispute the transaction, and cancel it before it ships out, they won't send them out because funds are unavailable. Though, I read this article where credit card companies and businesses has an agreement (without telling the cardholder) that if you cancel and change your card information, the merchant has a right to get the updated info to bill you. I just don't know if it's for businesses that have recurring payments, like gyms or Netflix....but I feel that it's whack because, what if it is a fraudulent charge? They would still be able to bill you.... smdh.

Companies can request your new credit card details if the old one has been cancelled but in this case he made the transaction before the card was cancelled so it would still debit from his account. Even telling your bank it was fraudulent they would determine with the company if this was in fact possible, but since he has already emailed them that's proof he made the purchase himself.
Personally I would call UPS and see if they'll deny the package on your behalf or have it delivered to the hub for pick-up and let it automatically be sent back after 5 days. Which ever route it'll be a tedious process unless you find someone to resell them too, they did sell out.

True. I wasn't saying telling the bank it was fraud charge. I guess to me, calling it "fraud", I'm thinking of it as: someone stole my CC info and made a charge with it. or not knowing these transactions are happening. And saying it was unauthorized, I'm thinking of it as: I wasn't okay with this transaction or I never wanted this transaction to go through, but accidentally did....?

But, like I said I haven't been in that scenario, so I don't know how I'd go about fixing that. But as others mentioned, it's kinda messed up they force the final sale on you, even when I'm sure they haven't sent it out and could easily click a couple buttons to cancel the order. SMH. Good luck to whoever is going through that though.

Appreciate all the suggestions but I'm just gonna eat it. I'd rather be able to buy from Yeezy supply in the future than to get black listed for this incident.

Told myself I'll laugh at this some day (might need to get hi to do it first) [emoji]128514[/emoji] [emoji]128532[/emoji]

What's the damage looking like? never saw the price.

I don't think it's "yellowing". It's a piece of the sole that is yellow. You can see it through the sole giving it the appearance that it's "yellowing". I honestly think they will age fairly well as long as you clean them regularly with a cleaning product that doesn't have bleach or ammonia in it.

Yeah I clarified that a couple posts down. For whatever reason it's just a different colour all together.
