Been here a long damn time...
When someone texts u at 3:40 pm on release day talkin bout can u hook them up with a pair
I gave my girl that look at 11am... last night she didn't care about them 12's...
Nah, I tried for those for trade bait. I got the Stealth 10s, no need for another predominantly black shoe. Part of the reason why I passed on the Masters.

Thanks bruh but I'm straight now. After sitting back this evening and actually realizing that it isn't so bad having an extra couple of hundred dollars in your hand I realize that I really didn't want these shoes. Especially after I said I wasn't getting any more J's for a while after copping the Cements.

snkrs app causes a lot of stress but with the right dedication it eventually goes through, took me about 20 tries and at around 10:30 it worked
im surprised at how crazy this release has been, this nikka I know was camping out since last night for them shyts and I simply just used an app, im afraid for how crazy the release for those flu games will be, might fukk around and bite the bullet and cop them from a reseller to avoid going crazy
those eulogy kobes are next on my agenda, kobe lowkey been running the sneaker game for the past 3 years

I've been using their platform to invoice over PayPal, like I try to do with eBay. Although I just got a warning email lol. I'll just make another account if it comes down to it.

Adidas' 'Yeezy' collaboration with Kanye West has not paid off

Read more at: Adidas' 'Yeezy' collaboration with Kanye West has not paid off
Adidas reportedly paid Kanye West $10m (£7m) to collaborate on the limited-edition 'Yeezy' trainers, but the deal doesn't appear to have paid off.
Analysis of Adidas' results shows that the firm's revenues in the US have been dropping between 2011 and 2015.
In 2011, the firm's US sales stood at €3.1bn, falling to €2.97bn for the full year 2014.
Its performance in 2015 has been more positive on a quarter-by-quarter basis, with first quarter sales coming in at €591m, rising to €643m for the second quarter and again to $776m for the third quarter.
But that recent turnaround isn't down to the Kanye effect, according to NPD analyst Matt Powell.
"When I look at the data, the Adidas growth is not coming from any styles even vaguely associated with West," he told Marketing. "Sales have been negative most of the time since West's signing."
Part of that is due to the line's limited availability.
According to Powell, there have been fewer than 50,000 pairs available to retailers. "We sell more than 300m pairs of sneakers in the US each year, so 50,000 is negligible," he said.
He added: "The sales of the shoe have not offset that [$10m] expense."
Powell points out that any halo effect from West should have kicked in much earlier, and that 2015's improving sales performance is down to Adidas' own hard graft.
"Adidas made many changes and moved more than 100 people from Germany to the US to get the product right," he said. "The entire Adidas US team has worked tirelessly to get the products right. Those changes are the reason for the recent turnaround."
The Kanye collection has generated huge hype, with the Kardashian family, Anna Wintour and Jay-Z all turning up to see the latest sneakers at the Yeezy New York Fashion Week show this month.
But in Powell's view, the Yeezy line's actual sales performance is proof that superstar endorsements rarely pay off, particularly when the brand fit is off.
He says: "In footwear, it all comes down to product. If the product is wrong, the greatest marketing campaign will not matter.
"Adidas’ products were wrong for the US market. I do not believe that so-called "influencers" have a great impact on sales. Product is much more important than who is getting paid to wear shoes."
Still, one person is happy with the collaboration. Kanye West this week tweeted out his appreciation for Adidas for allowing him complete freedom with his "creative process".

Yep. Exclusivity was smart initially to build up the hype, but now Yeezys are now at mini Jordan level (
) with hypebeasts/sneakerheads/casuals. They will still sell out at much higher production levels as long as they sell in the 350 price range ($200) which is accessible to many people.
