ADIDAS X YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL THREAD *NO LC's PLEASE*

[jewelzm3]

Know this is a weird question but how do you guys justify paying $250 (well as I did on the Zebras) on a pair of shoes? I feel weird and dumb for doing so, kinda regretting copping em now at least with the Creams I didn't have to pay for tax and shipping, didn't regret that purchase since they're my favorite yeezy released. Btw didn't buy em to resell, I love the colorway, but idk if I love it enough to justify the price.

I like the item and my financial situation allow me to do so without ramifications

Bruh stop trying to be rationale on a sneaker forum
Everyone here probably owns well over 30 pairs of sneakers which to a normal person is utterly insane.

But to answer your question....no...you can not justify paying $250 for a non-performance shoe. Nor could you justify paying $200 for a non performance shoe. The cost of materials + what the function of the item is for does not justify such a high price tag. I would think if you are paying for a portion of the R&D cost for primeknit...the amortization of the boost license and all of the marking and celebrity endorsement and staff salary and other failing products that the better selling products need ot make up for....i think you could justify $160. You're Welcome

It's not justified. But I'm frugal in other parts of my life so it evens out.

Shipping email from ADC

So you don't regret $220, but you would regret $250?

LOL man woulda paid $250 instantly if the resell price was still at $1200.
Get that fake introspective BS outta here in the Yeezy thread. LOL Nothing
in here can be justified well, we don't need any of these things.

Good sneakers can be had for $50-$100, return them if you feel like you over paid for
a Yeezy. LOL

 

[WASHED KING]

Adidas has literally gotten roughly $900+ from me since September...and are about to get another $220+ Friday this ish ain normal (if I get them).

[kobeoverbron]

I want the black V2s but I'm not sure I like them WAY MORE than the Mauves.
we'll see. but those are really nice and on my list.

Eastbay ETA for my pair is 11/26. $7.99 shipping fee for over a week? SMH.

What's your question? People spend money on things they don't need every single day.

 

[pmtotheam]

the best part about that picture is the random crayon

 

[acp7399]

Justification is impossible. It is what it is, a nasty vice.

Lol c'mon man...don't be ridiculous.

That's 4 business day shipping. With Thanksgiving.

I know you're eager to get your shoes, but things could be worse.

Yeah I'm not that bent about the time, more about the inconsistency with eastbay's selective "free shipping everyday" B/S.

That’s def bs where’s the free shipping

 

[treyhunna83]

I need to see a person wearing this with regular jeans not rolled up or hugging the ankle or with some joggers, cuz if that the only way u can rock them to look decent, these going back and Ill stick to air max 90s/jordans

Take em back now. If you can’t figure out a comfortable way of your own to wear a shoe, that shoe is not meant to be.

They have it today

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

They have it today

the free shipping message was their this weekend too. but in the fine print theres a line says that it excludes releases that have a preset shipping cost. the zebras was one of those shoes

 

[Smithbeentrill]

Lol @ the people complaining about shipping. Y’all wouldn’t know how to act if you were waiting for Yeezy Supply to ship

 

[Imani]

Yall should watch Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj's episode on Supreme on netflix perfectly relevant in these discussion. At the end of the day everyone has their own guilty pleasures that we justify as a necessity. Being a part of this community is one of the biggest justification in pulling the trigger on shoes $200+ and resell prices. I used to struggle dropping $160 on squat shoes that actually helps in functionality and technique, but now here I am dropping $300 on some yeezys. My personal justification: I'm only human so fuq it.
