Exactly. Not the end of the world. They would most likely be trade bait if I do get em though.

Don't get me wrong, I like pics just like the next man, but we know what to expect aesthetically from the shoe already

By the way, whose pair does that belong to teamfreshh or anyone with the info

 

[million dollar stacks]

I can never find this thread

 

[jayzrdead]

people got to remember mom & pops were charging whatever they wanted which also dictates the resell value

The solars are heat

Smh ... Looks like some of us better start setting aside a few coins just in case things get real.

I bet u do... I bet u also see yourself reselling these for 1500 too.....smdh...use your heads people, stop feeding the hype beast.

 

[feedtheego1982]

I understand everybody saying not to feed the hype but, no matter what we do, the force is strong with the yeezys. With gr Jordan's selling out at a record pace, there is no hope for this being a calm release at all. I hope everyone that has contributed postively in this thread gets their pair.

a celebrity paying $2500 for a preorder shows exactly what kind of release this will be

Not a very smart move by the celebrity. Brought it from a random guy with no set release date and no way of knowing if this guy's connect is sold. Can't use "o well the celebrity must know the release date" because that would mean he had strong connects to nike, and with 2500 on a shady preorder...doubt it.

What people are willing to pay for this will not change from a NT post.
That's how auctions work. Average end bids will cross where price meets demand. Simple economics sorry to say

& that will account for what the 15-20 celebrities that want a pair. Then what???

then you have folks that can afford to spend $1000+ or people who want to be the only person they know with them, so they pay as much as they can.

If they make 10,000 of each colorway (which is the rumored number) 
Don't you think there are 10,000 people richer than than most that want this shoe who will pay that?

After all the bids were hot on the Air MAGs with one person paying almost $40,000 for a pair.

You can't compare the Mags to the Yeezys.

As much as how hot the Yeezys are in the "sneakerworld", the Mags were advertised on a nationally top rated show/featured in one of the best movies of all time. Far more recognizable/iconic then the Yeezys will EVER be. 

I can see a few/handful of pairs selling for over $1000 to "celebrities", resellers see that then hike prices up then what? The majority of non-celebrity status people I see will not spent that much which will make the resellers drop prices.
