250k is a lot of pairs but im almost positive thats significantly less than what nike jb is doing per release on lets say a presto or a huarache or like the aqua 8s that dropped recently. unless adidas really isnt planning to make YEEZY as big as they say and as he claims, 250k pairs per release isnt going to cut for the money they must be sinking into kanye. normalizing the brand means more shelf space in stores, it means more pairs on feet. go into any big box sneaker store and nike/jb owns literally 65% of the shelf space. thats how you become normalized. anything less than is just expensive advertising as far as i see it.
damn near 10 years and still nothing. i wont be able to listen to makeshift studio mixtape quality in 2016Have you heard tracks? I'm stili waiting for Juelz X Wayne I can't Feel My Face album

I don't disagree with you. I was just pointing out that what was once the most hyped Nike sub brand is now all but dismissed except by the most loyal of fans.
I agree with what you say regarding Jordan Brand. More sales at higher price points will definitely lead to greater profits. Especially now that tons of 'non-sneakerheads' can get them.
I feel that companies marketing to sneakerheads are the same as car companies marketing to car enthusiasts. Sure, as the enthusiast group, you feel like you're important to the brand, but in all honesty, we're niche markets and are just a drop in the bucket. Companies make way more selling to the masses.

THIS IS AN INTERESTING TOPIC.. THE EVOLVEMENT OF THE SNEAKERHEAD CULTURE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRETTY INTERESTING AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE.. I PERSONALLY THINK THE INTERNET KILLED IT IN SOME WAYS.

If the ultra boosts can sell out restocks after restocks... Imagine a FRESH drop every other Saturday.
They obviously need to tier products to cater to different people but there will always be that NEW NEW that people will line up for.

but thats the thing, retros werent nearly as popular pre 2009 as they are now. they were sneaker head shoes made in numbers that correlated to the market. and even then they didnt "sit" from what i remember they just sold out over the course of the weekend/week. the market scaled to the popularity. jordans now are easy to get for a completely different reason than from back then.

Nike SB line was made up of the Dunk alone tho. It cannot be compared to what the Yeezy line is.
Of cours having 20 pairs of the same exact shoe with different colors will get tiresome.
Like I said, the YZY line is coming with ish almost every season.
V2s already dropped and they haven't even milked out the V1s.
Energy can be maintained in this model as opposed to the SB line.

LMAO true and sad.

It is a successful silhouette regardless and V1s are selling out even with multiple restocks.

You're correct that Js are sold in greater numbers now than ever before but my point was addressing the statement that Js are now a "i need a new pair of sneakers, im gonna go to the mall and pick something out" type of shoe, when, in fact, this was the case for a loooong time...
In 2001 I bought my first pair of retros (Columbia 11s) simply by walking into The Athlete's Foot and buying a pair. In fact, I went a few days after they released (I went on the weekend as I was in H.S.) and they had plenty of pairs, I was able to try on a couple different pairs before settling on my size 11. I recall doing the exact same thing with MANY retros I purchased during that time including WC 3s in 2003. I lived in Northern VA and still currently live in DC so it's not like I'm in an area where nobody cares about sneakers.

Wasn't it also Kanye that started the whole Y-3 hype as well? Once he began the yeezy line, everyone forgot about Y-3. Like others have stated, his influence on music and pop culture go hand in hand with his yeezy brand.

Preach! I thought that by moving to Vancouver, I'd finally have a chance to pick up a pair in store. 2 months later the only pairs I've seen in stores have been the black, green, and blue pair, and the crimsons, but I have no interest in thoseUBs only sell out for us here in Canada
