Official Nike Air Yeezy 2 AFTERMATH THREAD ----- NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[sthebest]

time will only tell if these newest superfakes will hinder the market value. one thing i do know is that the days of crappy quality fakes are drawing to a end. people in China arent stupid. Nike pays them in pennies and you dont think they will take advantage of gaining even more money for themselves and cutting Nike out the equation? let's not forget that the Yeezy 1 and 2 were both made in China so it would be nothing for a site to cut a side deal with the factory to manufacture the shoe with a few slight changes.

and I read on Youtube that that same fake site selling these superfakes are going to launch a Air Mag pretty soon as well. these fake makers are out for blood :x I personally blame everyone that supported sketchy sites like Air Randy and Sneakerape. because of people feeling a need to get everything early, the factories have moved into a full blown campaign on manufacturing superfakes.

With Nike+ installing sensors to track how one trains, or plays, is it too much to ask for a 'night time' GITD sole option? What I mean is, how cool would it be to continue that bright neon glow of the Y2's even after no light sources are around to do it's thing. Say like a small 'sensor' switch located somwhere on the tongue. I would think that the fat styled tongue could have easily supported a small watch battery setup for this purpose. Because when I have worn my solars on a sunny day, then walked inside a dark restaurant, store, casino, etc., so many more necks are broken when the GITD soles are 'radioactive' looking. Got me wishing a number of times I had that same pop in the middle of the night. Your thoughts?

Wonder if the 3rd colorway rumor is really true or if these blogs are just blowing smoke.

well i think with the original yeezy prototypes, that's what kanye was going for, as seen in this pic:

"But even before they decided on the glow route, Kanye pushed for a battery-operated illuminating sole. Some may speculate he would want something like this, trying to embrace the futuristic aura of the “most likely never to be retailed,” Marty McFly prototype. Nonetheless, Nike found it to be more practical to drop this concept. Not only was the glow agreed to make a better look, those who were able to grab a pair of Air Yeezy’s would have supposedly been paying far more if they contained this electro luminescence technology."

my guess is tho, if there's a 3rd yeezy, 3 will be the charm, and they might go all the way with it, cuz i'm sure with the air mag's doing it now, they will strongly consider it for yeezy 3's (and just up the price some more)...

i still much prefer the OG midsole design kanye had for the 1's:

Thanks for filling me in. I had never before seen the above pics.1up for electro luminescence technology in the 3rd!

The toebox looks like genuine 3M, and the scales don't look like plastic, so IMO, they are real. Congratulations!

 

[dasonofceo]

honestly the shoe is not worth it. I was gonna just buy them to resell.

 

[irish guy]

So to change the subject, is everyone looking forward to the VMA's and a POSSIBLE third colourway or variant being rocked by Kanye??

no. I think the last CW may be the original black/white CW he wore at first

 

[djlunchbox]

I'm hoping Ye performs Clique and the camera pans to Kim when he drops "My girl a superstar all from a home movie" lol

And yeah debate over, opinions stated, now on to the unicorn 3rd colorway.

 

[verysteri otypical]

no. I think the last CW may be the original black/white CW he wore at first

nah, to similar to the black/solars. besides that was just a sample for wear testing which is why the color blocking is at best. obviously just my opinion but i feel there is no way, considering all the previous colorways, that kanye would allow that colorway as a public release...

LOL. That would be funny! But I'm sure she would only love the attention as I believe that's all she's in the 'relationship' for. Increased publicity and fame.

Yeah I hope to see something different or new! But, as strange as it sounds, even after all this time, I still get excited when I see Kanye or the G.O.O.D Music crew rockin the Yeezys. Makes me want them more seeing them in various settings and with varying outfits! (Well usually Kanye with leather skinnys and black Givenchy tee)

Now the countdown begins on this thread being locked & I can't blame him if he does.

Let's turn this thread around gentlemen

 

[Renaldo Balkman]

odds the third colorway exists?

odds that the third colorway is shown at the VMA's?

 

[dj proto j]

my guess is, if they plan to release a 3rd colorway, he'll debut it at the VMA's tomorrow night (like he did the plats last year)...

 

[jst628]

this, but i'm kinda doubting there is a 3rd CW...

 

[senorroboto2k5]

I expect a new CW at the VMA's. Especially if they are debuting a new Kanye/Jay/Big Sean song from the album.

I don't expect it to be released.

 

[po2345]

There are other color-ways. CONFIRMED.

But whether Nike successfully negotiated another deal with Ye? That's unknown. He was sent something months ago, but i don't know if anything came out from it.

He does have some unreleased colors, which I'm sure we will see him wearing at some point in the near future.

Wish I could find some Solars for a decent price...

PO

 

[alp]

i wish a 3rd colorway comes out it just makes sense considering the 1st had 3

 

[PRIME]

no. I think the last CW may be the original black/white CW he wore at first

I wish that was one of the colorways that were dropping
