or maybe there was no real hype only extremely low production numbers and false hype [emoji]129300[/emoji]

Just didn't like them...
Plain Jane black and white shoes with a beige bottom...
I think the other two R1s look a lot better IMO.
I started selling off my normal non-limited or collab Adidas recently as well. The others just don't feel special...

How would you guys recommend cleaning the boost on winter wools? Not trying to ruin the wool and my boost is a little dirty

Throwing a gum sole and removing the front seam tape won't increase sales, it's pretty lazy.
They could have done something with the heel support, laces, etc to make it more special.
Really, these are consolation for those who missed out on the original PK Monochrome Pack.

Is a gum bottom even that desirable? I think it's looks dated IMO. More colored boosts would be more interesting IMO.
It's funny...
A lot of people whined about the Masterminds being a lazy design.
The more I have them, the more I like them.
When the Green Bape's came out, I thought they really did a good job on them, but now compared to the Masterminds, I think they're a bit meh...

Safe to assume most were gunning for the City Socks?

I felt the same way on this release. I was hoping for the CS since I don't own a pair

Seems like Adidas knows this.
Listen to the numbers on the BRED and Zebra V2s.
BREDs around Beluga numbers and Zebras a fraction of that.
The Oreos were a joke, I could have bought a TON of pairs. Ended up with 5 off of ADC, just didn't want to sit with tons of them. Pair for my wife, 2 for me, one for a buddy and one to resale.

Yup that's all I was hoping for. My kid wanted the black/grey knit so he was happy

Yeah I was thinking about the silver UB on Sunday...
I'm starting to lose my interest though. I was just buying shoes because we're being told they're limited/cool/hype whatever...
Would I wear silver shoes ever normally? No... so why was I wanting to buy them?
I'm even starting to debate Yeezy purchases. I do like the BREDs, but I have the black and red V2s already... and the Zebras, hmmm, reminds me of douchey windpants from the 90s. Maybe for resale if they're indeed that rare.
Just when I get good at getting Ws, I start losing interest haha... naturally...

It's incredibly interesting, and fun to watch the hype game from the outside. I would love to be a fly on the wall at corporate to listen to them plan these hyped up mind games.

Buy the Yeezys for resale, stick on StockX or GOAT and all your shoes are free. Not a difficult concept.

Yeah I think so...
I was really looking forward to the Adidas x Bape x Neighborhood release today.
The hype was 0, people thought they were ugly. I liked they were actually different, primeknit, boost and superstar. I don't need many more UB or NMDs lol
If this collab was an NMD, the hype would be insane.
Yeah the Oreos were a big step back in hype.
I knew the 20k pairs would make them pretty undesirable. When I got my resale pair, I tossed them up on eBay at a low $500. They sold instantly. Everyone was trying to get $650-700+.
Needless to say, a week or so later it would be hard to get $400 for them...
I think Adidas wants Yeezys to be back in the $900+ range resale. Probably see the BREDs around $700 and Zebras closer to $1k.
If the BREDs and Zebras are around $500-600, there might be a hype problem.

Yeah I don't think I could pull those off in a million years...
It's like Bape... interesting stuff, but besides some of the plainer t-shirts, the Bape x Neighborhood Hoodie was the first hoodie from them I think I could pull off without looking like a complete idiot hah
Some of my friends who think Yeezys in general are terrible looking actually like the BREDs. Might get some pairs for them on this release, just so they can have some.

Lots of people interested in the BREDs since there isn't much going on

I doubt they would have. Not the same level of saturation on CS.that's the pair I was hoping for
