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

[blackedoutunicorn]

Sorry I didn't get to post them earlier, had to run to a company lunch.  Here they are after waiting for about 4 hours.  Salty they didn't have my size but I will make due.

 

[shawn_chrystafur]

I hate when people post pics of a shoe they copped and are like "yeah, these are ugly..". That's so lame to me.. It's like people expect cool points for pretending to dislike a shoe that everyone is trying to get..

 

[pelimpe]

lol

 

[xcautionx]

Quick question to the owners who have rocked their pair, if I'm regularly a sz 11 would a 10.5 or 11.5 fit better?

 

[moneylicious]

how did u wait 4 hrs and ended up with 2 pairs? My sz too smh ...

They are pretty TTS...Couldn't imagine going up or down a size in these...

 

[kingofkicks805]

did they make an elite sock for the solar red pair? or only the platinums?

you are...the yeezy 1s >>>> the 2s man, and the strap on the 1s is great! nice solid patent, esp on the nets, the strap on the 2 is ehh, i feel like they'll magically have marks on them one day and you won't be able to get it out....i DO like the extremely subtle kanye x nike on the inside of the strap though....i wound up trading my plats for the blacks.....

look at the strap on the Y1. ABSOLUTELY GHASTLY 

 

 

 

 

The one thing I always wished in regards to the Y1 design was that they would have left the Y print off the shoe all together. Well...two things, that and having the GITD swoosh on all the colorways. That's why I think the Net colorway became my favorite Y1. THE GITD swoosh and smooth strap looks so much better to me.

The 2 strap is SO thin...like so thin it could break.

Nope. That was probably my last shot at another pair.
Also they said they would have size 12 in the blacks, but on the entry form pre order it only had up to 11 in black...

I was holding out hope, but it's late into the evening there.  I have to assume they already contacted the winners.

yup, they said they emailed everyone on twitter

go with an 11..if you had to choose between either one i'd say go up. they fit pretty snug when i tried my 9.5 and i'm usually a 9.5

Bro....what the hell are you going to be doing with the strap to break it?  I'm not saying it couldn't be thicker, but I have them on right now and I'm assuring any of these readers that this strap is not going to break on you under normal wear or use.
