ADIDAS X YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL 2016 THREAD - (NO LC PICS PLEASE!)

[lilchico4life]

These are going for close to 2x retail. Tax + retail brings it to near 400 depending on state. Watch when adc pairs arrive.

Already found a pair locally for $800. Hope I can snatch it up before anyone bites.

 

[mrking]

anybody else see that flightclub ran out of stock on these 750's?

Maybe because I believe only 3 stores in NY got these, and footlocker didn't backdoor any to them lol.

 

[sneakerfee]

i still haven't gotten a confirmation email from adidas, but i was charged for the money on my card on saturday. does this mean i won't get the shoes or what

an L is in your future.

 

[itsaNYthing]

Fosho appreciate the info...definintely looking at the $550-$600 price range for me to pull the trigger....

time to move on, these won't dip below 800

Yep

 

[d dollaz]

Do the big-box stores backdoor to FC?....With the way ish sell out I can see smaller boutiques possibly getting the 'profit' of backdooring to FC but honestly the last few years has seen the model go -- folks in NYC win pairs through store raffles and drop them off within a hour of picking up at FC. With the BRed 1s drop Nike actually had folks at the House of Hoops (Brooklyn - Fulton Street) to monitor the release....I imagine it would be a problem if Nike popup for a release and your store is light by a third and would put your account in jeopardy.

Do you guys think there's any chance of me trading a size 8 Light Brown 750 for a size 8 Grey Gum or Triple Black 750?

FC doesn't operate like that...they have resellers who bring them fsrs every release. The only overhead is rent. All these other "consignment" shops are leveraging equity out of their businesses to do buy outs and buy backs. That's a huge risk for a small reward because everyday there's a consignment shop closing because they can't afford to pay rent and that equity payment every month.

Ok understood

View media item 2200975Not a credible source though

 

[unclekyrie2]

 

yeah thats obvious but i think he wanted to know if the shops themselves backdoor it directly to flight club.. which they dont. the shops backdoor to big reseller clients who then drops off a fsr at flight. ronsweed explains that pretty clearly

Light Brown = OG or Light Brown = Choc?

For the Choc, I would try quickly before pairs come in as the resell on these is going to sink when that happens.  That would be dependent on someone who just wants to be rid of their shoes though as both the GG and TB are worth more.  You will likely have to add money.

For the Light Brown OG depending on the size you can maybe trade for BOTH lol.  Insanely limited shoe.

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

Choc=GG=TB

In my opinion.
The same places you're going to find the chocs for sub 1000 are the same places you're going to find people unloading GGs and TBs for 900. Outside the slums of facebook groups though most sellers are asking 1100 give or take for all 3.

Too many posts on what skinny jeans to wear...something more useful to everyone is...

[fightontrojans5]

Got my pair of Chocolate 750's over the weekend.  They don't glow but whatever, not a deal breaker for me.   The materials around the heel area are much softer and flimsy compared to my TB750's, hopefully the zipper is improved also.  

They'll be solid to mix in this winter with my TB 750's.  

However, I feel like this is the last pair of 750's I want.  1 lighter/1 darker are plenty for me with this model.  

 

[unclekyrie2]

just wear your damn shoes, people applying any sole shields or protectors on their soles look dumb af imo

 

[nikeairon]

Any chance these drop under 850?

 

[jdizz]

 
These Yeezy Mafia fools are really trying to prove these GITD even tho they clearly don't....

I never taken him seriously
Hes not as credible as people claim he is

Their twitter is ran by these two - https://twitter.com/7yl3rk and https://twitter.com/FuturePronos (mostly) 

 

[trillneil]

Cats be funny af.

 

[5 god]

v2 prices should be leveled out by now, right? i've been waiting to sell my pair so that i can buy a larger size...can get these sold at $675 right now, but don't want to pull the trigger too early and end up having to add more than expected when i buy.

 

[shoesharks1]

Glow in the dark isn't a good look IMO, the fact that these are lighter and higher quality should be what people are talking about- unless you really only wear them to stand out and be noticed

 

[solefed]

Any chance these drop under 850?

I've seen a couple tweets for around 8 earlier today.

850 and below def possible soon as folks get pairs in.

 

[sosmoove]

Any chance these drop under 850?

I think so. I'm seeing auctions end in upper 800's. So once you include eBay fees that's under 800 for sellers. That's a good sign for buyers if you can hold off until more pairs hit the market.

The heel area seems much nicer on the chocolate's compared to the TB 750's.  It's much more flimsy and less firm like the TB's.  

I'm going to rock them a ton, and it's nice to have a different color to mix in.
