C - Dudes who struck out, but rooted in reality, refusing to pay $1000+ and willing to move on to the next, I call these guys, "grown men" 

D - Dudes who struck out, who will low-key cop some AAA Feezy's and move on....

E - Dudes who got their pair(s) and are happy to wear them without talking crap about what they can afford or how much disposable income they have versus everyone else 

what category do you fall in? awaiting answer....

E....somehow I got through on NDC although i've struck out on every other release ever...sheer luck I guess, thanx for playing....

easily more people bought to resell than keep; taking a pic of 3 dudes wearing them disproves this 

90% of people bought to resell, no doubt. I've been offering DS South Beach 8's, DS Banned 1's and $400 on top..no luck.

I'm assuming the GITD soles will eventually yellow?

Nope. But I heard someone in here who talked to a rep say they most likely will go out Tuesday. Nike is probably gonna try and clear up some things today and then ship em tomorrow. No worries. If you got the confirmation email, you in like a bawwws.

But what if you paid for Next Day Air. shouldn't we be expecting these by Tuesday the latest. I processed my order @ about 1:30 ET that night

No clue honestly but I was just thinking about this. Isn't nike usually kind of behind on confirmation/tracking emails? I've seen guys on here who ordered and got them already. Maybe they're coming and we just don't know it. I paid for 2nd day air myself.

^^^Yea they usually send you the tracking info a day late. so when we get the e-mail the shoes should probably be already sent out for delivery

Checked eBay this morning, and saw numerous listings for my size.  Resellers asking 2 stacks is the norm right now. That's a solid offer for sure.  I would probably unload those kicks first and just come with cash offers.  Matter of fact, I might have to liquidate a few things as well. 

 

[jack knoff]

looks like ill just wait till the price drop to the 1k range. i still have my blinks to rock in the mean time.

 

[MaxP_3]

Unless I come up on a sz 12 for 500-700 Im not copping at all. I want bad but I know not having this shoe isn't the end of the world.

 

[kicksiscrack]

I knew the day would come when the Black friday crowd woudl catch on. lol. Same Old ladies who caught on to flipping PS3's and zuzu pets have probably caught on to sneakers. I should have known when people would ask what the lines were for, that they would eventually be in lines themselves lol. I mean there has always been some resellers but yeah, this release was crazy. People really believed that Ebay shill bid? "I can get us a house with these shoes!"

Man! As a member of Nt, it's our responsibility to stay away from ridiculous reseller prices. It's easy for a lot of us, self included, to spend $1k+ on this release - but why? Why support that person? Spending $1500 should come with both pair and tshirt!!! #%$% that, and #%$% shady resellers.

I thought about selling the kicks first, but I'd rather avoid dealing with flakes and lowballers myself when it comes to selling - I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about. I might just take my beaches and 1's to Flight Club, should sell fast on their site.

[johngarcia]

There is slight discoloring on the bottoms of my 1s and my Mcfly Hyperdunk GITD soles.  The 2s have a much more natural greenish tint to them.  They make the 1s sole look dull by comparison.  Maybe the 2s will not discolor as much since they appear to be made out of different GITD material.

Ton of them on Ebay for the low right now

 

[sourkush]

got a chance to check these out in person the other day , i must say yes there nice , my thing is in no way are these at all worth a 1G OR EVEN CLOSE TO THAT PRICE , everyone forgets nike is a sports brand not a luxury brand or even high end , there known for sports shoes and apparel not making a $1000 shoes at all , i admit i do dig the shoe its stylish but in no way is it worth over retail , when i was checking them out it's all syndetic every part there is no real raw leather on them its fake snake skin n just mesh and some glow in the dark soles , take away kanye and these wouldn't be anything to anyone to get all upset and crazy over , all in all nike tries to please the masses but we all knew how this would go seeing the demand was 10x what anyone would expect, looking at lines 100 plus deep for maybe 50pairs at that location is crazy , if your standing in line at the middle past the 50th spot what r you really hoping for to see dudes who copped walk out with a pair while you got that sour look , i dont get tht logic at all to each there own and on the same not yeezy's 1's over the 2's all day

If I had secured a second pair...I'd be all over that trade.

 

[ptone]

The warehouse these are being shipped out of is about 10 minutes away from where I'm sitting now... It's about to be a full time jack move.

Hah, psych. Free shipping for next day ground = win tho.
