cause fools paying 2600 for a pair of these sneakers

hype kills

so help the dudes who have consistently been posting since the beginning of this thread that are worried about getting these shoes on their feet, not reselling for whatever rate they're going for.

Y'all cats walking out of Mercer and these other stores on Saturday in NYC need to be mega careful.

Ya know goons are gonna be just waiting for kids to walk out with their shoes.

These stores need to provide security guards to escort people.

 

[nikevandal]

i am helping them out

400 shipped for yeezys seems like more than fair imo

Apple had NYPD bar off Prince St. during iPhone 1 release.

Nike just going to throw your pairs into a pit where you have to fight to the death for them.

Jokes aside, I've never wanted to leave a flaming bag of poop on anyone's doorstep more than 21 Mercer's.

I'm coolin it until I see that link pop i'm pretty sure they won't release until tomorrow probably early AM but that's just my opinion

• The AY1 drops and people are immediately stoked for the AY2. Hype is building from day one.
• Kanye starts wearing AY2 prototypes before WTT tour and people are even more hyped. Speculation is already starting that the AY2 might be the most hyped shoe ever.
• WTT tour was when hype really got big. People saw Ye wearing the finished Solars and freaked. Everyone wanted them at this point, but it was mostly people who were up on shoes. Regular people didn't know about them and hadn't gotten a good enough look at them to be sure.
• April rolls around, and the rumored release date is coming up. This is where the game changed: Nike realized how big the hype was at this point and they knew that the AY2 had the potential to be the biggest release ever. Additional points to this:

1. At this point, everyone had seen the shoes and wanted them. This includes heads, hypebeasts, regular folk like me, and literally everyone's $&*#ing grandma. It didn't help that Jay-Z got his pair about this time (I think) and people were really stoked, especially when he shouted them out at his SXSW show.
2. Nike realized how appealing this shoe was, so they pushed the release date (claiming the april date was just an announcement) to produce more pairs. 
3. This is the main point of this post, READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ME RAMBLE: The Yeezy 2's are an entirely different release. The reason Nike didn't supply the Galaxies, the Lebrons, any hyped Jordan, is because they don't appeal to everyone. Lets face it, as dope as these shoes are, regular people don't want them. Only heads and hypebeasts want these shoes. Nike knows the demand for their shoes, trust this. They know that if they release these shoes in limited quantities, they will sell out, but they aren't going to risk having extras laying around for people to be calling wack as soon as the hype dies. I wouldn't doubt that Nike loses money on GR's for lame sneakers that nobody really wants, but will pick up on a whim. I would never wear the SB Lebrons, but I can see myself wearing Y2's everyday, especially if I copped both CWs. This is why I believe Nike has changed their ways with this release.
4. The fact that Nike typically doesn't do huge announcements and such for hyped releases is another reason I believe the Y2's are different. There was no official Nike announcement with a set date for the Lebrons or Foams, but the Y2's had an April announcement date? That's odd for Nike to do, unless they've got another plan.

• April announcement passes, people are salty. MORE hype builds.
• Assorted production pictures get leaked. This doesn't normally happen with shoes. More hype.
• Nike implements the Twitter RSVP system. Personally, I think they did this in anticipation of this release once they realized the magnitude of the hype. They knew that after the GFoam drop, there would be riots and pandemonium when this released, regardless of quantity if the hypebeasts didn't get satisfied. Again, more hype and speculation about the release.
• Early celeb release. I covered reasons for this in the previous post, but again, Nike wants our money and wants more hype.
• Drawing out the release info as long as they can built more hype, and only cemented that they were gonna NDC release in my eyes. It's kind of messed up that Nike drew it out so long without telling boutiques, because it kind of made it difficult for them, but they had to.
• Release info drops, and then people freak. Look at this thread, and tell me the hype isn't at an all time high.

Now lets think. Given how much time has passed since the AY1 and hype was building, Nike had plenty of time to plan this out, and make sure they made as much money as possible with it. Call them a hating corporation or whatever, but they want money. There's no reason for them to hold out on us with this one, because everyone will buy it and it WILL sell out, no matter the quantity. The only reason these aren't a GR at this point is because, really, GR's aren't cool. When was the last time a really hyped GR came out? Never. The Yeezy 2's will be a large stock, and if you really want them, you'll get them. And if I'm wrong on this one, oh well. I won't be salty. They're just shoes. Take what you will from this.

This guy has 11 posts..... and I can pretty much sum it up for you guys. Its just simple math. You know that shoe that released in December 23rd.... what are they called? Oh the concords! They were at every brick and mortar store plus online. Everyone and there mom was saying "The prices will fall when they release and the hype will die because realistically you can purchase the older retro 11's or the DMPs." Makes sense. But, nope pairs were still going for around the $400 range....and people were getting trampled and fights were breaking out. Really ever since December Nike was on media alert from the Concords, then the Galaxys. If this guy knew the numbers then he wouldn't say anything, he would actually be contradicting himself. He is saying this shoe is hitting on genres of people and that Jordan's don't.... which okay I get what he's saying in that case let compare. The Banned 1 release was about 100 to 150 per store at Nike Outlets and ONLY Nike Outlets. Multiply that by under 100 Outlets getting them is give or take 10,000 pairs. Concords in the U.S. man every freaking store and Online at almost every store. Your probably looking at over 200,000 pairs easily. And THAT wasn't enough for the masses. WHY in the world would you think a pair of shoes that is appealing to all sorts of demographics and genres are going to have an adequate amount? They ARE not going to manufacture more of these than the Concords, maybe the Yeezy 1's but no where near what your thinking. Let's not confuse Optimism and Reality. Good Luck to everyone!

I'm sure people know that isn't gonna get them the yeezy but it might make the RSVP process in the future better (I'm sure that is the overall thought)
