Yeezys would not sell if they weren't made by Nike on Kanyes name alone. Ask reebok and those S Dots/JAYZs, now those AF1s rocafella is grail status. Think about it.

Also has a lot to do with how few are available.

been saying this.

if they had 20 yeezy CWs release throughout the year along with NikeID yeezys we would see just as many yeezys (if not more) in outlets as there are kobe/lebrons/jordans

Will this get addressed? Probably not b/c it's a good point.

Ignorant - lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.

Brilliant - extremely intelligent : much more intelligent than most people

These words are literally opposites of each other......... another one into the NT logic box

FTR those S.carters were the fastest selling shoes in Reebok history and sold out initially..... and that was a time when NOBODY would dare throw on a Reebok shoe.

and Rocafella AF1 might not have even reached 100 pairs total......

Or maybe we should use his LV collab.... as Steezy stated sold out off preorders alone at prices that were anywhere from 200-1000$ over there regular price points.

LV shoes usually never sell out for weeks based off the amount they charge alone... 90% of those pairs which were at a higher cost than any of their other sneakers were sold out weeks before release.

But nah his name doesn't help companies push product.

[nawghtyhare]

You riding hard against the man, wishing his family breaks down and such, how do you explain that?....

What's worst?

answering a question with a question

I don't wish anything; it's inevitable which I said many moons ago in this thread

Hollywood couples are temporary: FACT

kurt russel and goldie hawn been mariied since 83

Did this dude just did this?

Your boo fapping?

wow. 

 

[illphillip]

See here's the thing....and I know you don't like "specifics".

You can say whatever you want about what may/may not happen if Nike does a sneaker with Ross.

But again, I've seen riots for an unpopular model designed by a grafitti artist. That actually happened.

How can you explain such a thing if the personality is supposedly the driver moreso than the sneaker itself or the MARKETING (supply/demand/availability/potential for resale etc.) behind it?

You can't.

Maybe i'm understanding this wrong but if it's an initially unpopular model and suddenly an graffiti designs it and it's worth and value goes up i would assume the personality is the catalyst behind this rather then the shoe company itself, considering the company has had the sneakers in rotation much longer and they were unpopular.

AIn't no way in hell Espo alone is causing riots

They were out there because they are "limited" and because of their resale value.

Hence my mentioning all those other sneaker initially. Galaxy Foams. Parra + Patta Air Max. Pigeon and Tiffany Dunks.

There isn't a rapper guiding the demand for those sneakers. It's the lack of supply that is the driver more than anything.

You can use slang without sounding like a child and a moron.

Maybe you're realize that when you turn 25?

It pains me to think that some of the posters in here are functioning members of society. Like allowed to vote and procreate. Or maybe I'm just an old man at 24 and I "just don't get it".

I can tell you for certain you are NOT an old man at 24. You might actually be 24 going on 15.

To this day, I don't think anyone knows who ESPO is and what kind of artists he is. All people saw was the see through plastic and that it was limited. Even people to this day still think Pushead SBs are pronounced Push-Head when it is Pus-Head. For those shoes anyway, it was just the time of the era, Nike finally making wacky shoes and that it was limited. I think for Kanye's shoe, it is a combination of all things. Making them limited just makes them that much more important and hyped.

 

[heliumclinton]

did any of you guys actually listen? he clearly explained why he cant just make a louis vuitton, he doesnt have the resources because he has new money. Read great gatsby and not the jay-z movie and then you will probably understand his problem.

If he has new money and needs the resources old money brings, why would he think the way to go about it is disrespect the dudes with old money??

So we've now veered off into Reebok and LV when I thought we were discussing Kanye and Nike.

S Carters were based on a Gucci shoe. Which had a lot to do with it's appeal.

Not sure about the LVs. But again, if they were perceived as "limited" in some capacity, then you need to account for resellers and the black market when it comes to the demand for certain sneakers.

As I've pointed out repeatedly in regards to sneakers NOT attached to an artist.

My one and only camp out was for those Espos and Pharrell Dunks

Espo rolled thru in that ice cream truck and cats had no idea who he was; they were there for limited kicks and only limited kicks

 

[yotk13]

NIKE IS DEAD

Except for them new lebrons and kobes

Was this in NY? I saw the same thing. And that was also my 1 and only campout and it was 4 hours.

There is actually a picture of me pressed up against a gate from that riot.

Dudes jumping in line, bringing hobos. Cats brandishing weapons.

Me and my dudes from the LES got what we came for though. We would not be deined.
