THIS.
It would hilarious if the boutiques had no idea that mass quantities were on the way and they were just being used as a hype machine.

From the Rep this morning was that 21 Mercer, another Nike store I can't remember and Toronto were getting them. They didn't give me anything on online release but to not count it out and that they haven't been told that they weren't as of today and that they would know more as the day gets closer. I'm betting on a midnight release on NDC with a tweet 5 minutes before letting everyone know. Seems to sneaky for a release where Nike can make literally a billion dollars over night in revenue.

Now, if Aaron Brooks got a pair....These are IN Houston. He ain't on no special Yeezy list from Nike. So if that's the case....These ARE in Texas. Dallas, Let's GO!!!!!

I forget I'm on NT where the average IQ is probably doube the shoe size of most folk on here, ie Kanye memes. In any case just like when I stated that Jordan's dad got popped to pay off his golf debts I'll stay saying Nike will never be up to par. My new Givenchy Shark crewneck > your pair of Yeezy's lol

I don't get why people hate resellers??? Those same people will be in line and as soon as their size is gone first thing out their mouth is "I'm bout to cop any size and just to flip em".

What I stated were observations of the failed attempts of what I see happening with this release and this shoe in general. How does anything that I pointed out state I'm mad? I never said I'd stop buying Nikes or go on a rant about how Nike is screwing it's consumer base which has been stated to death. Fact is I can't make shoes and Nike makes cool ones so I'll buy them when they "let" me. I'm just pointing out the stark realities as they appear. For all the effort Ye has put into being a "fashion icon" he's fallen flat on his face trying to execute it. His Nike collab being his only success probably due in part to other designers on Nike's design team. Making this release "exclusive" and limited still isn't putting Nike on par w/other luxury brands. All we see are the people that jumped on the shoe, how many people do you think turned the shoe down and scoffed at it?
So let me keep it hood for a second and just say #clapbackhoe. Thank you and good day sir.

Not necessarily true. He's from Seattle and is most likely here right now. We have a confirmed store getting them as of today. I seen him at his kids track meet last weekend.

This release would have that willy wonka effect..
BUT SERIOUSLY IF KANYE WAS SMART AND THE BUSINESSMAN HE SAY HE IS HE WOULD HAVE PUT CODES INSIDE OF THE "WATCH THE THRONE" CD'S AND DROVE UP HIS ALBUM SALES UP.

Hey maxdunker, you don't need to prove yourself in this forum. These people are not of this world, they're high school or college dropouts that never learned self-control or self-respect. They all worship the feet of they corporate masters aka kanye west aka nike. I wish 2pac had a shoe, now that's a real artist.Originally Posted by maxdunker

#OccupyNike.
I'm done. $$*+ these, $$*+ the olympics, and everything else.
I doubt it will do anything, but the store that is in STL that's selling them for $350.
I'm calling nike and snitching.
