The blue on the back plastic seems to come off with a wet rag and a little soap for anyone that has similar problems. My gold lace tips have not even loosened once, knock on wood. The mesh does show creasing, but not happy with the sneaker shields I bought comfort wise

These are now my new favs as far as comfort go. Excited for the Solars and happy with the quality personally.
Glad you got yours and are truly wearing them.

I'm not a fan of sneaker shields at all. I used to have them and used them with my Air Force 1s to prevent creasing, but after a while the lack of comfort to me totally outweighed even having them. It's nice to have them keeping your shoes looking fresh, but I'd rather be able to fully enjoy the comfort of my sneakers.
 
Just curious, for those of you who plan to treat/condition the leather on these Yeezy 2s or have done so with other leather shoes, what have you guys used? I definitely want to take good care of the leather panels on the upper so it'll stay fresh, but I don't have much experience with conditioning leather. Any tips even by PM would be great, thanks.
 
hello guys what do you think of this? i'm guessing this the third colorway for Yeezy 2

LOL thats a scam
he has a total of 3 auctions with 49 available purchases ... each purchase at $25 a  pop....3 x 49 x $25= $3,675
So the max he can make is $3,675 if he sells all the raffle tickets which he probably want.
He has a total of 5 pairs of yeezy ...you can win 1 per raffle ticket that you purchase.
$3,675/ 5 pair yeezys =S735
so thats $735  for a pair of yeezys when he can easily make $1400-$2000 per yeezy!

Thats the red flag right there .....he's going through all this work when he can easily put them on there and let them sit and double that.
Then he also is giving out other products to everybody who purchase a ticket win or lose which is also an expense and ebay and paypal and shipping fees  that will be coming out that $3,675 max profit so thats less than $735 per yeezy. More like $680 profit per yeezy!

He also doesnt have a picture of the solars on the listings.
wink.gif


I personally wouldnt give him a free $25.

yea i had done the math and have msgd seller multiple times, supposedly there is no limit as to how many are being sold or how many can be purchased, everyone is receiving something and someone is guaranteed the shoes which video is going to be listed. we shall see

I just dont believe he will let all so called "5 pairs" (No solars in picture)  go if he only sells 30 tickets which is possible because he would be taking a hell of a lost.
And he 's doing a youtube video so no telling how many times he can practice on his little scheme before he uploads it. He could have it already made and just ready for the auctions can so he can post!
laugh.gif


LOL he probably will keep all the money and purchase some lil cheap insignificant items and send them to all the people who purchase a ticket to make  them feel like he was at least holding his end of the bargain that everbody will get something whether win or loose

Charge them by exposing them to light. The more light the soles are exposed to, the brighter they will glow.
 
I thought the yeezy Is looked a lot better than these. Although the IIs look a little tougher to replicate
 
^ No. Those are exclusives. Not the 3rd colorway. Supposed 3rd colorway is infrared. PS's have been posted a couple pages back.

Please leave that as a KB exclusive.  Those joints are ugly.  However I'm interested in seeing pics of these so called infrared Yeezys.  
 
haha, "hater" "you mad?", such typical responses when someone cant come up with an intelligent defense to their ignorant statements.


on another note, im not understanding the comparisons between the ones and twos as i personally was slightly impressed with the quality of my twos. maybe i was expecting to be underwhelmed after reading everyone elses comments but i have to admit i was pleasantly surprised. one thing in particular was from the pictures i assumed that the mesh upper was just that, a single layer mesh, but was impressed by the fact that is actually a thick, padded layer with a mesh overlay. now that may not help with the creasing factor but it definitely adds a "sturdiness" to the shoe that i did not expect. another quality point that most might not see as important is the rolled, hidden seams between the suede toe and mesh and also between the leather upper and heel plate. those are an important feature to me when considering the quality and thought that went into the details of a shoe.

also the leather/stamped insoles are a nice touch and the padding/lining throughout the shoe is superb. they fit tts which is always a plus and are very comfy. like others, my favorite details are the leather "scales" and the "ribbed" heel panel. those two design features are what initially sold me on these.

i have only wore them once and have not noticed any cracking or peeling on the midsoles yet but at this point i really wouldnt care. compared to the design and quality of the rest of the shoe, the midsole paint is negligible. if it starts to crack or peel bad i will just re-paint them. problem solved.

to those who will say "but price this and price that and oh its too much money, let alone if they dont crack" all i can say is forget it and move on. i did what i said i was gonna do five months and two threads ago in order to get these, because i knew i wanted them and i knew that they would be worth it. also as a collector i have to consider the fact that these are a very significant shoe in terms of the history of footwear collecting.

these are my thoughts and my thoughts only. take them as you will...

How are they fake? if anything they're legit and theyre scamming you.


btw
someone offered me 1200 + ds grapes, ds sb 9 lebron elites and VNDS wearable 2000 infrareds for my platinums.

damb i'm a bit tempted now, i would probably flip the grapes and brons though. is that trade in my favor?
homeboy that got the DMP, SB8 + 9 and spacejams got me trying to find lots of shoes i want for them.
lol did you come up on anything?

You'er not important so what you say means nothing to me. Keep it moving, or if you wanna e thug more pm me so I can delete it without reading it. Kids these days.... Smh no respect..... Quality on these are not worth the retail let alone the resell value. I don't care if these are the second coming of Jesus Nike + elites, quality is bad I won't keep. Beasts get shoes they know will fall apart, paint chip, cracks in leather blahBlah blah. Real heads know the deal.
 
i was speaking in general terms but if you feel that was directed at you then i guess my words affect you more than you realize. please re-read the last line of my previous post...
