-Heidi Burgett confirms they will release before 2014 on her twitter account
-SneakHeat claims he is doing a pre-order which gets him a ton of followers. Ends up being a raffle, claims if RO's dont release he will buy you your choice of Plats or Solars, and I do not think he will ever live L that down
-Larawktr posts a pic of a Nike EU inventory database showing pairs to arrive between 10/31 and 12/31 (I think 12/31)

-D list celebrities claim to have them and even post pics of themselves wearing the fakes
-RUVILLA pops in to discuss the contest and declare they have no info on the RO's. The Platinum pairs they received from Nike for their annual Refresh were all dated early 2012 (just as the original Y2's released were)
-US11hustla posts pic of about 5 pairs of legit Red Yeezy IIs. He was the first to post pics of DB V's before most knew about them

-Nike.com reps give more info then they've ever given about the Red Yeezy's. "Check back in two weeks" among other quotes..

-Yanis then links us to @Feng333's IG which contained numerous legit pics of the Yeezy's and @INGMAXXX's IG which also appeared to contain legit pics

-Spectacular23 works for NTNY past 5 yrs and said his store does not have Yeezy IIs in stock. Yanis' image was a customers pair that won it? Possibly fakes considering kw.com contest winners have not received pairs yet. He points out that since they didn't receive any Plats or Solars then they might not be receiving these. (Some are questioning how much a "athlete" employee would know)
-S_Universal is not sure when the KW.com contest pair will ship, he is definitely receiving another pair from Kanye as part of F+F, and he may receive a 3rd signed by Kanye
-SpiffyKicks spoke with someone who is friends with the owner of UNKWKN in Miami said they are releasing in February. The owner spoke with "easy" who runs rsvp tours with Kanye? (Never heard of him) and "easy" apparently told UNKWKN's owner.
Posting chronological list for those who haven't been keeping up.
PS the raffle talk is regarding @krispy2kicks raffle of your choice of Yeezy's for $25 / ticket. He is legit. Members and reputable people have vouched for them. If you enter this raffle then you will have the opportunity to the enter the Red Yeezy II raffle (whenever that is).
Please refrain from badgering members putting forth info. Usually they've been here for a bit, have a reputation, and they explain any claims they make. S_Universal is verified - currently working with Kanye on future projects via his employer, RL. IG: @S_Universal
