Official Nike Air Yeezy 2 thread vol. 2 - 6/9/12 Global Release Date: NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[aznballlaz]

Anybody know any spots in the bay area receiving these?

 

[ralph delorean]

this dude talking to himself

 

[woody2626]

Called the FTC and filed complaints on stores making people purchase $100 worth of product to be entered into a raffle. It is illegal. Calling the stores to tell them it is illegal and that I suggest they change it. Can't hurt because obviously they are in violation of the law

 

[dublbagn]

The funny thing is that for the last yeezy release nike gave explicit instructions to "make as big a scene as possible". Some stores were even told that they were not guaranteed the 2nd or 3rd colorway and it depended on how much publicity they brought around for the 1st release. Anyone remember all the little stuff stores were doing? Repainting the store with black light paint, or that one store who served a meal to the customers and when they brought out desert it was their yeezys.
for nike
You can expect Nike to reprimand footlocker and HOH in the coming years for that galaxy release in orlando, because its the reason all this is changing!!! Before that release the lines and commotion were just free advertising...

It would be mad funny come rd if no one shows up to any stores for these I would love to see all the store owner jaw drop like damn but that would never happen.

from the guy with galaxy foams in his avatar.

I didnt have trouble getting the galaxy's my cousin hooked me up bc he worked at nike town in nyc and I said the same thing about the galaxys too no shoe is worth all this +#@!%+#% come on ppl already getting stabbed over these but it cool with my you be the sucker to drop 1500 - 4000 grand for a pair of kicks that will sit in your closet. How many ppl have you seen rocking the galaxys? I have a life if I get them I get them if I dont on the the next shoe and if they drop another cw these 2 will be a distant memory.

 

[djlunchbox]

LMAO @ no one would want this shoe if it wasn't limited. That's like saying nobody would want it if it wasn't Nike. Just for the mere fact that it's Yeezy's shoe is why people would cop. Reebok, Adidas, Supra wouldn't matter.

Bring on the fugazis i say. There's no tech in these nor performance enhancements that make these worth more than retail. Limited? psshhh state of mind. It's fashion and style. The shadiness around this release by boutiques will be in epic proportions.

 

[ezratk]

Nice kicks raffling yeezys. 1 from each size. that means they got alot of pairs because they are doing that and in store sales.

GOOD! Having people spend $200 to enter to win a "free" Air Yeezy 2 is horrible. 
RSVP Gallery should be ashamed.

C'mon people, just sell the shoe, don't be a punk.

ME: basically
NT REP: That is what I am thinking. IF the store info is announced to early it would cause a lot of issues at the stores. I know they don't want a repeat of the Galaxy launch.
ME: and can you say if they'll be online or if HOH will get them?
NT REP: I hope we do get them online but that won't be announced either until 2 days before the launch.
NT REP: I wish they would release like a 1/2 million pairs or something it would solve a lot of craziness during this launch. HOH should get them but no word on how many
ME: i know right, def need to meet the demand but i'm sure they are worried that half the people won't want anymore if they aren't "limited"
NT REP: True. IF that many were sold they wouldn't be considered a limited edition
iME: have a good day, and goodluck to you on getting your pair as well!
NT REP: I won't get them. I have to wait 24 hours after they launch to order them. I know for sure that will be too late. Bad deal for me
ME: always could be restocks right?
NT REP: They better on this one. We were getting death threats last year over this Yeezy launch lol
ME: jesus really? on the live assistance?
NT REP: I was on the phone last year when they launched. It was really really bad

Not trying to discredit you but why would you need to edit the information he gave you? Why not just edit his name? I hope this conversation really took place.

Ducktales

That is just insane. I guess if they can't "sell" their raffle tickets might as well jack up the price. Win win situation for them.

 

[mr k]

Why would homie make up a whole conversation?

 

[chestercopperpot]

Now this is 100% LEGAL

[shoeman2004]

Wow I don't remember hearing about any of that. The meal

For the guy above, if these weren't limited, if these were Nike's $60 casual shoe that sat at Macy's, I'd still buy.

  

 

[yanky]

Now this is a LEGIT raffle. Proceeds going to charity is how it should be done. Otherwise the raffle tickets should be free
