While you're correct, unless Bait SD is lying, they never even had the shoes in store. From what I gathered, it was "corporate" who handled the drawing and why we registered on the site. The thing that struck me as really peculiar is, after Bait Tweeted the raffle, a few hours later, I couldn't find it in their feed. I checked again today and still couldn't find it ... I mean, I could have over looked, but ...
In before the questions on how to wash them
Throw em in the washer with the colored clothes. Dry in dryer on high for 45 minutes.In before the questions on how to wash them
you are on point on everything except that people actually know who kanye is wether its from his antics, that vma speech, taylor incident, or being married to a kardashian, average joe might not care about yeezys or adidas, but everyone knows who kanye and kim is lol
rip
I don't know if the 72-10's were a fake sell out but it was very successful and pleasant not to have had a release like the 750 boosts were everyone was happy to have copped. I don't think you realize that Nike came out with a substantial amount of pairs because of the back lash of all the shooting robberies, bullying, etc. by the media. having a small amount of sneakers causing envy "must have" that you'll do anything to get them if you cannot afford them. if I recall, there was news and a documentary about sneakers transactions that involve killings for the last 3 years. adidas has turned the corner but it will take Nike to be ignorant in order for them to lose their dominance in the sneaker market. They haven't really won anything because most people are reselling them then actually wearing them for the profit
I'm just seeing the tail end of the conversation but financially Adidas didn't see that big of a bump from the presence of Kanye. And that's because of getting the brand off the ground, logistics. And because of how limited the shoe is it isn't bringing in that much of a profit- if you're only selling 10,000 pairs of a shoe that doesn't compare to 500,000 aqua eights for example. Also off the top your head name how many classic Adidas models come to you that didn't come out in the last six months (nor involve soccer) I can think of three or four. With Nike I'm in the hundreds. I can't wait for Nike to start retroing early KD and LeBron releases. I think I even heard an economist say something like Adidas is more concerned about the "Kanye effect" like what happened to the ultra boost (after he wore them) and they're not all that concerned about making money off of exclusive Kanye releases. If I were them I would a production on 350s to at least a couple hundred thousand and leave the 750s around 25,000
Meh. Maybe the yougerish crowd. Grandma and grandpa don't give a damn, but they probably know who MJ is and most likely what Nike Air is. They and a lot of the world don't know or care about Kim, Kanye, or Supreme. Grandpa is about that velcro life and old man shoes. Word to New Balance and Blue Blockers
After the Xs, or maybe even before that, his line seemed to have taken a steady nose dive. The 13s are atrocious.
i was with you until this sentence, you were really reaching with this one
what shift...the trend hoppers who post UBs on their feeds?
Adidas got a couture line now?? Coincidentally (did I spell that correctly or is it with a "Q"?) I was looking for some couture shoes ...
Lebrons are successful. Yea they don't sell out but wait 10 years later. Jordan's did the same thing but now sell out instantly
Drives what market? the resale market? Nike makes tons of dough off stuff like Air Monarchs and outlet Frees. This hype stuff is such a small drop in the bucket to them, GS KDs bring in more money than Kanye releases. Nike has the biggest footprint in the retro/hype market that isn't gonna die just because some dudes will follow Kanye wherever he goes. Nike did not need Kanye, Adidas does.
Agree
