Y'all can throw in the towel early if y'all want to. I'm not giving up yet!!!

THIS.


It would hilarious if the boutiques had no idea that mass quantities were on the way and they were just being used as a hype machine.

This... Nike is being too quiet right now. Something feels like it's gonna happen

 

[jr1zero]

From the Rep this morning was that 21 Mercer, another Nike store I can't remember and Toronto were getting them. They didn't give me anything on online release but to not count it out and that they haven't been told that they weren't as of today and that they would know more as the day gets closer. I'm betting on a midnight release on NDC with a tweet 5 minutes before letting everyone know. Seems to sneaky for a release where Nike can make literally a billion dollars over night in revenue.

 

[sneak king]

Now, if Aaron Brooks got a pair....These are IN Houston. He ain't on no special Yeezy list from Nike. So if that's the case....These ARE in Texas. Dallas, Let's GO!!!!!

 

[djlunchbox]

I forget I'm on NT where the average IQ is probably doube the shoe size of most folk on here, ie Kanye memes. In any case just like when I stated that Jordan's dad got popped to pay off his golf debts I'll stay saying Nike will never be up to par. My new Givenchy Shark crewneck > your pair of Yeezy's lol

 

[shoeking125]

I don't get why people hate resellers??? Those same people will be in line and as soon as their size is gone first thing out their mouth is "I'm bout to cop any size and just to flip em".

What I stated were observations of the failed attempts of what I see happening with this release and this shoe in general. How does anything that I pointed out state I'm mad? I never said I'd stop buying Nikes or go on a rant about how Nike is screwing it's consumer base which has been stated to death. Fact is I can't make shoes and Nike makes cool ones so I'll buy them when they "let" me. I'm just pointing out the stark realities as they appear. For all the effort Ye has put into being a "fashion icon" he's fallen flat on his face trying to execute it. His Nike collab being his only success probably due in part to other designers on Nike's design team. Making this release "exclusive" and limited still isn't putting Nike on par w/other luxury brands. All we see are the people that jumped on the shoe, how many people do you think turned the shoe down and scoffed at it?


So let me keep it hood for a second and just say #clapbackhoe. Thank you and good day sir.

and now for the icing..LOL

Not necessarily true. He's from Seattle and is most likely here right now. We have a confirmed store getting them as of today. I seen him at his kids track meet last weekend.

A multibillion dollar company and this is how they handle things...

This release would have that willy wonka effect..

BUT SERIOUSLY IF KANYE WAS SMART AND THE BUSINESSMAN HE SAY HE IS HE WOULD HAVE PUT CODES INSIDE OF THE "WATCH THE THRONE" CD'S AND DROVE UP HIS ALBUM SALES UP.  

 

[TB513]

I can't wait to hear all the crazy stories this weekend, its only Wednesday and things are heating up.

 

[sneak king]

^^OK, OK....Pointed out twice now. Dude COULD be in Seattle. Didn't think about that one.

 

[titanium intellect]

Rogue Green KD IV just dropped totally out of the blue on NDC and yet they have been saying they had no idea about a release.... is this Yeezy hint?

here is the really really sad part about this whole thing. Aside from the grotesque amount of money being charged AND most likely being spent on this $245 sneaker, in the end it's still just a Nike "sneaker" to the fashion world. Nike wants for all intents and purposes this sneaker to somehow catapult them to the upper echelons of fashion. They think that just because Kanye is attached to this it will put them on par w/other high end brands rocked by some celebs. But sadly it won't. Nike shoes no matter the hype will never be on par w/Lanvin, Prada or Tod Loafers. They will still just be sneakers. No one who really matters (fashion wise) outside of sneakerheads and hypebeasts will really care about these. Kanye has been a fashion flop w/all his lines he's tried save for the Nike collab which has been his only real success. I mean just take a look at whose really rocking these from a celebrity/fashion stand point: Hip hop artists, athletes, wannabe rap artist/hypebeasts and in between geeky/trendy artists & b/c-listers trying to be cool with the latter.

S/O to all y'all dropping all this money for a shoe y'all probably wouldn't rock. there's NO way I'm dropping the type of money being thrown around for these kicks ESPECIALLY when the $$ is going to scumbag resellers. At least when I bid on the McFlys there was a good cause behind them and more justification of my $2500 bid. I'll keep reading this thread for the laughs and try my luck w/Nike Montalban rsvp or any other RSVPS to be had. Aside from that I'mma keep it pushing and look forward to Oly 7s, Bred 4s and 11's.

Oh yeah and if this is a bust in copping I'mma be looking at Air Randy or whoemever else has them high end fugazis, buy multiples and rock them like a soldier!!

you sound'n real mad about now...

Cc: Control Are

Hey maxdunker, you don't need to prove yourself in this forum. These people are not of this world, they're high school or college dropouts that never learned self-control or self-respect. They all worship the feet of they corporate masters aka kanye west aka nike. I wish 2pac had a shoe, now that's a real artist.

 

[jr1zero]

2pac had his own Makavelli branded air force ones look a likes, granted after his demise, but still the worst shoe ever made and ended up being sold in walmart and big lots haha

YEP! So much missed opportunity...but hey, it is only Wednesday. I'm hoping that Nike has more than what we've seen thus far up their sleeves.

#OccupyNike.

I'm done. $$*+ these, $$*+ the olympics, and everything else.
I doubt it will do anything, but the store that is in STL that's selling them for $350.

I'm calling nike and snitching. 

 

[platocrates]

Damn my only hope was to RSVP at 21 Mercer but looks like it's not happening

[solexsup]

Guess i better throw out these leather pants...
