yeah, i think i'm gonna sit on the extra pairs i got (i got 6 zens total, 4 to flip, 1 on ice, 1 to rock). i think they'll be worth a lotmore later on...
i'm just not so sure about a GR skyrocketing the original's price. is that what happens with other shoes? it seems to me people will just drop thesuggested retail on the GR instead of the rape prices on the OG...

yeah, no doubt. i've only worn one pair out once and that was the black & pinks last weekend, and i went to the mall b4 work, and i swear, i'venever had so many people staring at my kicks, or stop me and compliment them, and ask where i got them.
i know this is a bold statement, but i'm gonna go ahead and say it... these are the hottest shoes i own, hands down, and i got a lot of heat...

So, when Nike Town releases these
is it on a "first come, first serve" basis?
or do they raffle off tickets?
I'm not trying to wait in line for up to four days for nothing.
Gracias for the information.

lol i was trying to play catch up with this thread and saw you post this....you're a fool, how your sz 10.5's fitting you?Originally Posted by masterhammy

finally got a pair of zens in 8.5 for 550 shipped, i'm very happy with the price, the seller wanted 580....but you know.....
to abc, honestly, and i DO mean honestly....where has there been an official "word" of a GR set coming out? yea i read that whole thing about thespi'zikes, but even complex said that those sample blk/reds are gonna remain that way, and there has been NOTHING about a gr coming out. And you honestly,i dont think there would be, i mean Kanye himself said that this would be it right? 9,000 pairs total. THere ARE shoes out there with just one or twocolorways, and although they are not the GREATEST commercial success, ultraposite comes to mind, it was that way, one pair, and even that model had multiplesamples in different colorways and such. GR shoe, jordan xvi, not limited, but only had 2 colors...
somebody had stated that it would be "foolish/stupid" for nike NOT to release more colorways, because "look at the spizikes!!"....well thespizike was designed as a shoe that they would market as a fusion, and they simply created a limited set based off of spike's input, hence the Africancolorway and the fact that he signed some...it should NOT be seen as a shoe that was made to be a one and done, and then they made more afterwards because ofit's succcess.
...i'm just saying, just because nike is able to sell out of this shoe at the MSRP of 215$, they really only caked about 105 from the stores. Jordan xviiwas 200$, and they made about 95$ per pair on that shoe to all the retailers right? So nike/jb has a higher volume shoe, distributed and sold to more retailersacross the US, remember shoes release at about 250K or so, i THINK....well usually they do........ so nike making/selling 250K @ 95$ > 3K @ 105
again, i'm not hoping their wont be more yeezy's, cuz as ABC said, this first 3 colorways will hold their value, i mean what if they DID GR them? doyou THINK all the other pairs will be made with such good leather? or such a nice and stff lining, or even have that EVA insole, or *GASP* the removal of aglow sole? Or the removal of the YEEZY on the heel...etc. etc.
would you honestly purchase a GR yeezy that had all of that stuff removed? Or what if they rename it to the "air west?"
In a nut shell, i'm just saying if you like the shoe, just get them. I think I can speak for anybody and everybody who has a set of their own to wear that,purchasing ONE shoe at a 500$ mark, is greater than purchasing 12 pairs of chuck taylors in different colors? or 6 pairs of af1s in a 2 month span thatyou'll prolly destroy. Sometimes, it REALLY is about the quality > quantity, so just save up your $$$ buy a shoe that you can not only appreciate forit's true value, but it's rareness, and such as well.
....it's 12 am....i'm just rambling, you guys continue your debate...
edit: and no i'm not a mod...i'm just a buy/sell guide lol
