Hey whats up everyone. I am probably much older than most of you and have been on NT for around 10 years now but rarely post anything. Considering the hype and excitement over this release I figured I would post something finally.
Here is my Yeezy 2 story...
Long story short, I was on my honeymoon in Puerto Rico when the Yeezys dropped. There was not one store on the entire island that received them and my internet connection at the resort was terrible so when they did drop on nikestore I had no chance. By the time the trip was over I think my wife was ready to divorce me because she was so sick of hearing about the Yeezy 2s.
For weeks I was sick to my stomach trying to find a pair at a reasonable price. I am a size 13 so as you can imagine that was very difficult. I have no problem paying reseller prices and I don't knock the hustle. However, at the same time it just didn't feel right paying $2000+ for a shoe that just released.
The closest I came to a pair of Solars in my size was on eBay. Bidding ended at $1500. I was outbid in the last seconds. I wasn't too bitter about it though because I never intended to pay more that the $1200 mark. Whether I wound up with a pair of Platinums or Solars was irrelevant to me.
About a week later I found a pair of Solars on ************* in my size for $1600. After some negotiating with the seller I was able to purchase for $1300 shipped. Transaction went very smooth and I could not have been any happier. Seller was not greedy at all and let them go below market value considering the size and colorway.
Point of the story? Don't give up. It took me about a month and half and I finally had my pair in hand. Good luck to all and check out my Yeezys!
Nice! Im looking for a sz.13 or 14 in the Plats...I just cant come to terms with dropping 1200+ so it prolly wont happen lol
