Official Nike Air Yeezy 2 thread vol. 2 - 6/9/12 Global Release Date: NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[chillman07]

I won the Premium Goods Raffle, Wear a 10.5 in Jordans, I got the last pair, 9.5, thank god they run big, a 10 would probably be perfect but I got a little room in the toe, I'm hyped!

The 2 g's of course...Unless you feel like being a nice guy to a real collector. I got a DMP pack for $800 during the galaxy release, so they aren't hard to come buy, especially with the hypebeast turning real sneakerheads into mindless zombies...I mean seriously, I'm not trading my DMP's for ANYTHING!!!

Im not trading my DMP for anything either!! But they are be no means "easy to come by".. You got lucky with a steal for 8 hundi.. unless they were used. A DS pack easily worth 1200-1500.. So you could prolly take the 2 gs and find a dmp and still have more than 500 bills leftover depending on what you get the pack for

Please live in a HYPEBEAST free land, DO NOT go out and spend a stack or two on these shoes, just keep it moving to the next shoes please gentlemen!

2 grand.....buy a DS pack for 1200 then if you want them

Make sure the 2G's is sent via gift

 

[leclutchjames]

if you like the DMP's Id say do the DMP deal. Esp if you got the kicks for retail. but only if you like and have been wanting DMP's

be a good dude.

Your points are valid. But to be honest, regardless if Nike ramped up production ten fold. It would still not satisfy the demand. I do agree with you pertaining to increased production possibly deterring re-sellers to some degree.
Side note: Nike should have only allowed one pair per household and not one pair per colorway. I am thankful to have been able to secure one pair for myself. I hope those that actually had them in your cart are given the opportunity to complete the process.


Yea I really don't see nike making MORE pairs to sell. if their system isn't broke why fix it.  They should have at least made the shoes more available at more locations.

I have seen it all!!! Anyone remember some chick on CL or Twitter offering sexual favors for the Galaxy Foams? Sad, sad world we live in.

 

[patentboy23]

Contacted a dude on craig list who wanted 850 for his yeezys. I was going to buy two pairs for 1500.  Wanted to do western union 

. %#*% w/that BS

 

[kontraband1911]

i don't think these run big. I'm normally a size 9.5 so if shoes run small i'll get a 10 and if they run big i get a 9. The 9.5 yeezy that i have seems to fit me perfectly.

 

[malclew]

More power to you guys paying anything over retail, I just can't bring myself to do it. Still keeping my fingers crossed that somebody in that whole "hold status" limbo is slipping and I get their pair.

I agree. Perhaps they should have made them available at all HOH's instead of the measly four named locations.

Only way to deal in CL is meetup, I hand you cash you hand me shoes

I'd say get the 2 grand and go buy your own pair  Dmp 6/11 and you will come out with a better deal because if you really want them and check often you can find them 800-1200 depending your size.

 

[khadafi252]

i'm betting there are crazy amounts of people camping out on twitter right now with that last hope that nike will release the pairs people didn't buy. if you get that lucky, i applaud you! good luck.

But it was all just the hype creeping back into my system..  Trying to be smart about it and remain hype-less for the remainder of the time I cop sneakers...

Honestly I would be hard pressed to give up any of my Ronnie Fiegs for these after holding them....the Rose Golds maybe but the Super Reds would hard to let go of.

People really believed that Ebay shill bid? "I can get us a house with these shoes!"

when I was in line for MV Elite (to rock, not to flip) there was this chick who readily admitted that flipping shoes was her new come up---- the Concord release it what did her in

Now every BIG release she try to cop as much as she can for the sole purpose of reselling.  
I def agree the vast majority of ppl who copped are trying to make a come up, which--- I can't lie, I'm apart of 

 (that's their fault for not releasing them in my size 

) You know what bills I could pay off with 2 stacks!? Shoot, even just 1.5 I'mma just try my luck on NDC like everybody else tho, maybe they'll let go of those ppl didn't claim when they were holding

I don't think we can compare Apple to Nike for the simple reason that Nike is much more segmented than Apple. Apple is into high-end consumer electronics (laptops/desktops, phones, music players, etc...) whereas Nike has to release tons of products (shoes, clothes, and gear) for almost every sport and income level there is. Therefore, it's kinda unrealistic to expect them to make second runs of sought-after products because they cater to a much larger audience than the average sneakerhead.

 

[emkicks]

noob question, but where are these on NDC?? I cant see/find them. When they dropped saturday night I was frantically searching to no avail.

They were only accessible through the nikestore twitter link.

 

[stillin729]

[griff]

They really slacked on sz 14's in this shoe. Not one store in my area got my sz in. This really was release just terrible smh...

WOWWW SMH AT PEOPLE TRADING DMP'S FOR THESE!!!

REAL TALK!!!! Got heads trading 2 pairs of history for 1 pair of hype SMH. This yeezy garbage is so blown out of proportion! They are cool looking shoes don't get me wrong but to me they arent worth 250 let alone 8 times that.

DMPs in your pic by the way
