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

[sunshineblotters]

Is there any chance of these releasing at finishline? I have a guy who works there but doesnt cop shoes so he wont want one for himself.....
UGH I just want the black one and either the silver or the other colorway. I dont even need all three (but I would love to have em)

And yes I wear mine.

And why would this Finishline guy hook you up with a pair if he'll be able to easily sell them for 3k (or whatever insane price they will inevitably go for)? Is he like your super duper best friend for all eternity or something?

 

[raidercb5]

This release is going to be BS

Just need one pair in my life

Nothing significant has been contributed since the first page. Dudes arguing about the quality of the shoes they are going to buy regardless. Unless you're dropping info on websites or spots that are dropping them, please don't post every thought that comes to mind in this thread.

If there were ever an event that I'd hope would rid NT of all of the Non-true sneakerheads. I'll even settle for a pre-'09 demographic. Right now...too many cats out for a buck and care nothing about sneakers. I'm basically hoping that this will burst the sneaker bubble and kick a bunch of people out. NT as a whole still works. The caliber of individual however, has in large part become garbage. #keepthecommunitytrue.

In terms of durability I don't think anything touches foamposites. However in terms of comfort, Lebron IX are prob the most comfortable shoes Nike has foot out in quite a while. Some of those vintage air maxes were super nice though.

This. Everyone is so negative about everything. When no real details have come out. We dont know how  limited this sneaker is or even how the release will be handled. We dont know the quaility until someone has them in hand. There is much no known, why should we argue about it. If you dont like the Yeezy 2s fine, to each his own but dont come in here bashing people for what they like.

There was really no need for a new thread. I'm sure the OP wanted this to be strictly for info on releases but it has just turned into the same back and forth as the original thread.

That's what I'm sayin!

I made the new thread in hopes of eliminating questions and confusion that can be answered by reading the very first post..

Stated this on page 3 ....please just read!

I'm surprised LAPD is letting those clowns stay out there. I mean, what fools camp out for 5 weeks on a *rumor* release date? $@%!#@ aint got NO job. EDD claiming $$+ $@%!#@

 

[bapedan]

it's that time of year again when I have to check this thread every 24 hours.

 

[sneakergameinsane]

Just read on MN that the euro dates are rumored to be 

April 12th for the wolf grey and platinum CW

May May 9th for the black and solar pair




The second date was pretty close to my prediction a few pages back




The midsole on these are the same as the air tech challenge 2 (Agassi 2's)

The tongue is the same material as the Zoom Huarache Trainer that released last year (Torch material)




So they should fit a little snugger than the Yeezy 1's




Just contributing to the thread

I think Bron 8s are more comfortable than the 9s.

I'd love to get my hands on a pair, but the $250 tag is heavy

This just came from Modern Notoriety; "Releasing on April 12th and May 9th, are two colorways of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 that are set to release at select stores like Size? and 1948."

Those release dates are in regards to International/European dates, not US dates.

From what I hear, it's not as crazy over seas as it is in the U.S. ... and if that's the case, I may need to put my passport to use.
