Stop whining, Not everyone is getting them for retail $250
my spot wants $1200, big difference from the $450 they wanted last time yeezys dropped.

only difference i see is M&P shops have caught up & made it harder for resellers to make profit by jacking up the price.

its funny because i still got pms asking "where can i get them for $1200?"

^ Well I was planning on doing the same but that movie will be there next week...but I'm not gonna front...I'll be at home...patiently waiting...I respect your choice that you aren't allowing these shoes to dictate your life/weekend though because hey, life must go one after these release on NDC...but as Frank Ocean said..."There Will Be Tears"... after this release.

First time I've ever used phone alerts for twitter, and phone is glued to my hand at work waiting on two places to tweet.

THANK GOD it only alerts you on standard tweets, and not every reply that nikestore does to answer same questions over and over again.

LOL!  I feel you on that, I actually just bought my tickets for the Prometheus IMAX as well, but if I feel my phone vibrate from a Twitter notification, I'm telling wifey I'm stepping aside for a minute.....

You missed my point, try and read.M&P shops are trying to cut out the resellers (intentionally or unintentionally) but here come the resellers paying the high markups only to turn around and flipped them for more, by the time they reach the hands of someone who actually want them, they've gone through about 3 damb resellers....if resellers took the L on this one and let dudes cop for 1200$ that's where the value will stay.

[shycagoill]

I'm not gonna make up a story if it's straight facts. Either take me up for it or not.

 

[truongxlong]

I never understood why broadcast this type of info & make it public... As if Nike dnt troll NT they could easily change the date & time

 

[Deleted member 42060]

what if nike rechanges their plans and his info becomes outdated? question is how far can he see in the future if hes wrong or right?

I COULD see Nike sending out 18 pairs to most boutiques and having a decent sized stock for themselves. They're feeding into the "limited hype" but not doing it themselves. Boutiques make a huge deal out of the 18 pairs they have with the raffles and $2000 price tags - they make the news, make the hype - then Nike tweets a link and actually posts a good amount of them. Even if they had a lot, they'd still probably sell out quick and we'd never even know they pulled a trick like that.

Until eBay gets flooded with them and the resellers (and guys who shelled out a grand) are screwed. And it wouldn't be Nike's fault per se - people are really doing all of this based on unsubstatiated rumors.

THIS. The prices on ebay then drift down to the $500 range as people realize just how many pairs are out there...
