good lookin out man...

What do you think, Q?

Which pair should I keep: Zens or Blacks?

I like them both and I want them both.

I'm trying to base my decision on which pair I can get easier in the future.

 

[DYNAMICS]

Blacks easily to keep, you should be able to get the Tans for a good price down the road.

What a joke put these shoes on GR and theyd be hittin outlet shelves quicker than Starburys.

Nike ant making a dime on these its all hype the RT1s ant movin but put K.West on them and everyone is all over them.
If yeezy hype is so in demand why not bring out a whole range 4-5 shoes in twin packs GR and make more money than air Jordan. At least there was someassociation with athletic performance in the air Jordan, these shoes are hardly gonna make rappers perform better !
Fact is there is nothing to back up these shoes other than hype, they ant made of any special materials and they ant made in italy!

They are no different from those gunit kicks that went on GR and sittin on shelves. They'll be givin these away free with albums in a year or two once thenext rapper/producer comes on the scene.

you obviously haven't seen or felt a pair of zens in real life...

fact is, you don't like the shoe (or maybe you do, but you can't get it, so you're just hating on it), and you're goin' extra hard tryingto tell people who do like it why it's wack, even if it means stating straight up BS (and you're probably extra mad how much hype this shoe has gotten,and wanna chalk it all up to kanye's name on it and how limited they are, which i admit, sure that has something to do with it, especially for thehypebeasts, but certainly not everything, tons of people really like the shoe itself)...

veteran shoe collectors have been quoted as saying these are the nicest quality nikes they've seen in years, if not ever.

style wise they're flashy, whether you like them or not, they turn heads... i was wearing my zens the other night for the first time and some random dude,who obviously had nowhere near the style of a shoe collector, just a normal dude, stopped me and told me how nice my shoes were and how they reminded him onthe shoes marty mcfly wore in back to the future 2...

tons of people genuinely love this shoe and the way it looks. take the artist affiliation and exclusiveness away and i'd still love the look of this shoe.so F outta here with your lil' quest to tear down this shoe in here... trying to compare this shoe to some g-unit kicks, LOL @ you... none of us care whatyou think... great, we get it, you claim you don't like the shoe. do you think you're gonna change the minds of those that do?!?

yeah, because they still have the exact same sizes available they had when they first put them up... it's like they've moved none of them...

$700 up there now, meanwhile you can still cop 'em on ebay for anywhere between $550 - $650...

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

Good points up there J

 

[gone in 60 seconds]

Can someone post pics of Fab wearing them on 106? I was @ work & missed it(long commute).

Kanye has already stated that their is going to be a Air Yeezy 2. So I dont think Nike will have the need to GR these..due to the next Yeezy
Cash Cow in the making.



Also to people saying other colorways. What other colorways could they possibly do besides the Navy/Orange that would fit this shoe.
If you havent noticed this shoe colorways are unique, and based on contrasting pop colors. So a simple black/red or white/gray would not fit this shoe. Thats where I think it seperates it self from going down the Spizike road.
The limit of colorways than could fit the shoe.

This is some pretty good logic. This shoe is so unique. If you think about it...You can't think of too many shoe releaases that have occurred like this one. Even for a shoe such as Bathing Ape, ( who had captured the desire of exclusivity) was/is more accessible and NOW, less expensive than these Yeezy's. Bapes release in a constant stream as opposed to 3 fairly limited releases. I could see Nike/Kanye changing the sneaker game a little bit...a new way of generating buzzz. And Kanye might be vein enough to keep these limited. If they do a Yeezy II...ok. but more of these...I don't know.

Do you think Nike really cares about what colors "fit a shoe"? No. Colorways being unique? grey/pink/orange is unique? blk/pink isunique? come on now, don't fool yourself with horrible logic like that.

 

[widunks]

any info on when the raffle starts for NT chicago?

Think about it.

What other nike sneaker has come in black/charcoal/pink?
Zen/Grimroy/Charcoal? Net/Net? I doubt you ever even heard of these colors before.

I think somebody just cant get their hands on a pair?

 

[L7oser]

Damn i didnt even kno we were on Vol. 4. Geez yall.
Anyway i'll try my luck again saturday with this raffle B.S. and hope it get the same turnout as last time. If not o well, got the other two cw's

There ant no way im salty over a pair of kicks, I don't dislike these shoes were did it say I did? I have no problem with Kids making pocket money ontheses shoes either.

My point was if they are so in demand why don't Nike just put them on general release?? I mean the way people are all over these why not get GM tostart producing them and turn around the auto industry.
