Exactly!!!!

These stores are so stupid and yes they tore off the box price tag...the guys at Unknwn are some a-holes they raffled off 18 pairs yet they had 45 pairs!!! what a efffing joke...

qft... on top of that these have no, none, nothing, zilch, history behind them for anyone to even feel like that. These were hyped from the get go, not like that OG colorway you had when you were a kid that had no hype until right now so you can't get the retro without paying resell prices...


How many of you were 100% confident that you'd get these online? really?! I tried, yeah... came up empty handed, so what? Move on to the next pair... I cant believe how salty most of you are about missing out. I know some of you are huge Ye fans, or actually love the shoe, but most are just following the hype train, and whine because it got derailed....

[bartleby]

how can Nike let retailers sell raffle tix? these shoe stores that are raffling pairs off for like $10k will never get limited shoes from Nike again. stupid $!+ move.

To be honest, these were just a fancier version of a Air Tech Challenge II with a strap
I would quit if NDC wasn't allowing me to buy my bred 4s though

that wasnt my point... dudes saying they quit the "sneaker game" because they missed on yeezys. Unless you have a connect, a lot of $$ to blow, willing to sleep a week on the street, or luck on your side you're gonna miss a release like this

I wish everyone was serious and had this mentality, it would strain the real from the hype heads in this ##%* and make it a much easier hobby for us...

Let the man quit the sneaker game if he wants. It gets stressful and expensive, maybe hes had enough, I know I've had enough.
I got my pairs, i'm definetly qutting the 'sneaker game' now, because that's what it's become a damn game. I've been waiting for these since he wore them at coachella. Might see me continue buying from the lebron line since i've been a fan of his as long as i've been a kanye fan, but i refuse to stress and lose sleep over any shoe again, unless its the yeezy 3.

 

[blumpk1n]

for those who got their money back from nikevandal did you go through paypal or the bank?

 

[justforkickz]

so who else struck out on EVERY OPPORTUNITY POSSIBLE?


meh, IDK I just felt there was at least a SLIGHT chance in me getting them if I put my name in numerous raffles and RSVPs, but NDC really did it for me, guess I should just be grateful to have the yeezy 1

basically what im saying is real bills are piling up. I respected this hobby since i was in highschool. nowadays people just dont want to transmit real solid info, they dont want to "hold you down" in tight situations. its really everyman for himself. I know you got 3 pairs im like damn, good for you, I would have dropped out even if I had two pair because waiting for a company to send you a link while you are sitting on the pc for god knows how many hours just to purchase an expensive, overly hyped shoe can drain alot out of you. I dont hate anyone on here, I dont hate niketalk, I dont hate you or myself. the anger for most of us is directed towards nike. I may be done with sneakers, however Im certainly still a part of niketalk

 

[mr s j king]

Honestly, I dont think Nike gave a crap about this shoe.
In their eyes its just a hyped up hip hop shoe with no iconic history.
Nike doesnt care about Kanye West, his music, or his following.
Im sure they are glad the headache is over, and no one has been trampled or murdered.

So all the "shady" stuff we see happening is because thats Nike's impression of the hip-hop/rap community anyway.
The upper level execs at Nike don't see our genre or community as anything but a dollar sign.
If Jordan himself hadn't told them to get they sh&@ str8 or he was walking, Jordan releases would be just like this one.
Stores selling for $2Gs like the one here in Dallas, and store owners and management being as egotistical as humanly possible.
I myself am not a Kanye West fan. I am a NIKE fan, and when they put out a nice shoe I admire their work.
So when I got the call and was told they were going for $1800 cause they werent moving at $2000, I said "naw Im good. Im waiting on NDC."

I for one have had enought of this !%*!.

I've literally seen the sneaker thing go from something really underground, to full-blown mainstream.

I've been here 11 years man. I can honestly say I'm fed up - near that point very soon.

Neither, he's sending me a money order in the mail. Dude is legit! 

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Very disappointed. I guess Kanye and Nike wanted a shoe with some exclusivity. Very few "normal people" will be walking around with these - most of the normal people who did get them will try to resell them and they'll go to the people who can afford $2000 in the end.

I wish Nike would've just kept them as a Kanye PE that they gave out to celebrities but I guess they wanted to draw us in with false hope. That was more important to them than capitalizing on "The Biggest Shoe Release Ever."

I had daydreams about seeing these on my feet and will still probably scour the resellers market for a decent price. But in the end these cover my feet just the same as a pair of Huaraches or Kobes, with some laces and a rubber sole.
