if you go back and read what i actually said you'd understand 100% better.
i said 100% of the pairs BOUGHT FROM NIKE ON 2/9 went to average joes.
the celebs paid resell

its funny because samples were always an interesting topic to me. I remember you posting back in the day. The first samples I saw were probably either from you, dependable jay or jersey joe, I cant remember. But I agree with what you said. Most of us do not have those kinds of connections for samples. The major factor with the yeezy 2 is ego. The sneaker culture was always big dont get me wrong but i feel like the yeezy 2 was released on the cusp of this "game" blowing up. I landed yeezy 1s with no problem. I feel like with instagram or whatever else its just gotten so much bigger than it ever was. Having the yeezy 2s is about pride because although there so SO many rarer shoes that can be had for a fraction of the resell price, everyone knows the yeezy 2, inside and outside of the sneaker culture. so from a standpoint of a collector most likely just starting out, the yeezy 2 is THE shoe that makes them feel legit.
my question to you is, although its personal and i dont expect a direct response...how do you or especially a guy like dependable jay, get so many samples? i apologize i dont know your collection that well, but til this day dependables still makes my jaw drop. even if he is being hooked up, the amount of money he has to spend on the things he gets has to be astronomical. does jay really have it like that or are his connections that good that make his buys affordable?

Fair enough. You've seen 3 to 5 people wearing them, either in pictures or with your own two eyes, we're not sure.
Doesn't mean they're not rare.
But I'll step away, I don't think anyone else is following your logic either, so whatever.

yeah, about 2-3,000 pairs spread around the US and Europe pretty much guarantees you will not see 5 people wearing 100% authentic RO's at a Bobcats game lol.

This amazes me...
But now that i think about it the only ones i have seen were on a celeb or industry friend. I have yet to see an average joe rocking them "REAL OR FAKE"

thats the f'n point i'm trying to make but again, people want to be right, so they go off on these rants.
putting it on everything, i saw at least 5 dudes with them on at the last Bobcats game.
and no, a Bobcats game IS NOT an all star game. so that's why they don't seem that rare to me.
i didn't do a side by side comparison, but the pairs appeared to be authentic.
i can vouch that at least 2 of the 5 were authentic because they were worn by these "well off" kids (ages 15) who are well known here.
so i guess "rare" is relative as well. cause i've never seen a Bentley Mulsanne in person and seeing one would be a "rare" occasion here in Charlotte. But folks in LA probably see 3 a day and would describe them as limited not rare

So wait, are you claiming that they actually produced many more pairs than 2-3k worldwide just because NTers scored pairs? Really? That's hilarious!

Case of someone getting a pair then thinking there were a ton

I don't think it's just the rarity that causes people to pay a G for a fake(Which is scary). But I think the whole story behind it being Kanye's last sneaker w/ Nike has a huge reason to do w/ it. But who ever knowingly pays over a G for a fake sneaker is a scary person.man, a shoe is rare when fakes go for over a G
