Some kid brought his sister and mom with him to better his chances, ALL 3 GET PICKED, here's the kicker, they only had enough for one pair, he wasn't expecting for his entire party to get picked.

So this leaves 2 spots open, a size 8 and 13 left. They re-raffle, lots of people have already left so lots of numbers were unclaimed. This dude who finds another ticket on the floor wins and gets the size 8, and my friend got the last pair.

So 2/3 at Blends ain't too bad. $326.25 was what I paid, which is still respectable.

Long story short, I got my tri-fecta!

Off topic - but how many NFLers after scoring a touchdown, Thank God or Pray. Nobody says anything about that. Dude can be thankful for whatever he wants.

I think this is a great way to get your Yeezys and a great way to help the people who need it the most.

On Saturday June 6th, St. Alfred will release a "YZY" shirt that comes with a raffle ticket. St. Alfred will draw 18 tickets on June 13th at 1 PM. The raffle ticket allows you to purchase the tan yeezys at $300.00 if choosen. The shirts are going for $50.00 and there were only 100 shirts created. The proceeds from "YZY" T-shirts will go to the Kanye West Foundation. The raffle is open to all and you don't have to be present at the drawing.

So if you buy the shirt, but dont win the raffle, what do you wear it with? Where is the profit on the 18 $300 yeezy's being donated to?

thats foul man... real foul
the place i went did a raffle. 18 shoes and my ticket wasnt called. my friend's ticket was called and he told me that when he sold his, he would give me1/2 of what he got since i told him about the spot and stuff like that (i declined tho). luckily, charmcitykid found someone in line that sold me a winningraffle ticket for like 50 bucks & fronted me the cash since i only carry cards. so i had 2 dudes look out for me at the same time. thats the way itssupposed to be. good peeps.

It is funny how the dudes that claim to hold down people dont hold down jack.

do the tans fit exactly the same as the grey ones? i remember reading the black ones fit more true to size. just need to know this before i go surfing on ebay.
 
thank god i got the yeezys. it was worth waiting 19hours in the cold San Fracisco weather. goodlooks to all who got their hands on a pair!!
 
RANT ALERT!!! RANT ALERT!!! RANT ALERT!!!!

Well this time its not "really" a rant.
I just wanted to post about something that we all may feel.....a BIG sigh of relief.
These shoes has indeed driven the sneaker game crazy these past 3 months.
Mind Im not an veteran sneakerhead, but I never heard of stores doing auctions or being shady
with employees like I have these past months. I watched people go from "eh they alright" to
"please give me the ndc link"
laugh.gif

I myself have been successful at copping all three pairs. I must be honest. Overall
I have invested $1600+ in these shoes. Crazy right?
But I think these shoes has def pushed the bar on "Nike" sneakers.
Taking it to a whole.....nutta....level. (madtv joke)
It was def refreshing to see something besides the same 23 Jordan shoes or the horrible fusions
hit the market.
And I would def like to thank Ye,Tinker,Nike, and who ever else was involved in taking their time on this shoe.
Many rappers go slack when to expanding out of their range. But Ye and company took this project serious.
It not just another rapper shoe hence "Birdman Lugz" or "G-units"
laugh.gif

As for the price. It wasnt ye's fault. They retail for $215 and should have stayed that way.
But we the people added hype into the factor. Therefore many shady people in the business saw an oppurtunity
to make money and they did! Oh boy they did!
tired.gif

As time go along Im pretty sure they will be rumors of a GR. But I think there will be none.
I can see the "glow in dark tour" pair releasing though, but not as a GR and I wouldnt expect it anytime soon.
As I said before what seperates this shoe from most is its design and its "POP" colorways.
And Coming from an desinger myself I cant imagine anymore colorways. Maybe 2 and one of those are the glow in dark tour colorways.
The classic Red/Black or White/White wouldnt work on these. But hey you never know.....

Peace. G-TEK

Also NDC.com hasnt released yet! keep clicking guys! I am!
