Do your research or ask someone who was there when most of the shoes were first release and not just retro....
Yes closed.Originally Posted by Ralph DeLorean
Its true niketown chi is closed for remodeling, has nothing to do with yeezys tho. Hopefully those pairs will be allocated to House of Hoops or somethingOriginally Posted by dipsetkid44
Is it true niketown chicago is closed for remodeling until fall to launch these? That would be a kanye/nike type thing , wouldn't surprise me

I was talking about this on Twitter the other day, and a friend from Nike HQ replied and said it means Energy as well ... nothing more. Personally, I wanted it to be some top-secret marketing scheme as well. But unfortunately, it's not all that exciting. It means energy.Originally Posted by verysteri otypical

oh you mean the mom and pop stores like at 21 Mercer St. where they released the initial fly knit collections the past couple months?(labeled NRG and mostly grey/white colorways i might add)
this also brings up the question: if it has been around for a couple decades then why would it NOT be on the Y1 label but all of a sudden show up on the Y2's?
Man, you?! That price is definitely unheard of these days ... must be a recession sale, lol.Originally Posted by xbiker47

Man, I remember when the black and pinks were that price. Now I see them and the CRAZY price attached to them and just SMH.

QFT. I feel like those were the shoes that changed up the market to how it is now. I remember thinking $500 or $600 for the Zen's was a lot back in 2009, but I wish I could go back and buy like one of each colorway for that priceOriginally Posted by Nineteen92
