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

[airthompson]

Yeezy 1 > 2 IMO, but pissed cuz you'd think the price would drop on the 1's. 
Lk AnimalThug said aint no way I'm paying that much for kicks.

*Waits for resllers credit card bill comes and they must sell.

I would suggest going a .5 size up if you have wide feet or like to wear thick socks as well. these are definitely cut very narrow IMO.

Nope, outside of the thirsty idiots trying to trade their 1's for the 2's.....the well for the 1's will continue to dry up and have continued high value based on its continuing rarity.

Disagree with the first part, entirely agree with the second.  With the amount of lag that people were seeing between the tweet times, the tweet actually showing up on their timeline, and the text notifications happening, there's definitely room to get to the link before the vast majority of people even get a chance to see the tweet.

I definitely agree with you dbao.  I was on my social media dashboard (which I use for work and also has my Twitter feed on it) when game 7 ended. The tweet popped up on my dashboard a solid 30 seconds before I got the SMS update, so that means if you were lucky enough to see it online you had at least a 30 second advantage. I say at least because my dashboard auto refreshes every two minutes. So it was most likely around a minute difference.

So about this third Cw?

i would never trade my 1's for the 2's.....the quality and comfort doesnt compare...

I had two pairs in my cart before they disappeared. Wasn't logged on as well. Salty. More CWs coming?

 

[saysar91]

Guys, if you got a pair speak to a Nike rep. They just gave me my tracking #.

Depends how bad you want them. When buying anything, they're only worth as much as you think they are.

Yeah, I had this conversation with ILLIONAIRE over the weekend. I did a few tests with the mobile alerts on BB and iPhone versus the Twitter feed on my computer. Like 55steep said the mobile notifications were behind. So I stopped using the mobile alerts period, I got the nikestore tweet soon as it went out, I had a good feeling they were going to throw it out between the mess of Game 7 ending and the Pac fight going on.

I would also wait. I made this mistake before on the titanium 23's and I cudv gotten a way better deal if I would've waited. Don't let ur emotions take over. Anyway, that's my advice, but it's your call in the long run.

its crazy to me that i paid 208.25 and people are debating paying 1,700....

 

[airthompson]

On some serious talk tho, do the 1's have any history of cracking?
