RULES:
This thread is dedicated only to updates and news in regards to the new Air Yeezys that are soon to be released.
This thread was made because I feel there is too much off topic stuff going on in the Aftermath thread.
Here is all the info we have so far thanks to @Mark081990 (Thanks man, appreciate it by the way.

Please lets help each other out and keep it civil.
Feel free to ask questions
If someone asks a repeat question, don't have to flame them, just tell them where the info is.
Yeezy season approachin'. Good luck to everyone
If you score a pair (or multiple pairs), post pictures and stories of how you were able to get them.
