the only futures that mattered to me were the Glow in the dark and bred 3m junts

all the others can :camby: look fake
I sold a pair of the bred 3m joints to somebody and I really regret it breh it was so clean.
Been out the sneaker game for the last few years but have been noticing all of the hype around the yeezy boosts. I can see the hype for the Nike Yeezy, but I don't get it for these adidas. I remember people giving the :scust: when they were first announced and said they weren't gonna cop, and now it's a different story. Especially with that resale price.



So I ask, what is so special about these, other than Kanye's name attached to it? I just don't get the hype :manny: or maybe I'm just getting old, but them shyts look basic as hell to me. just my opinion.



Also, wasn't one of Kanye's main beef with Nike about the availability of the shoes? I don't see any difference in the fukkery around the release of these compared to when he was with Nike. Still raffle, online, and resale fukkery. Didn't he say that he wanted to make affordable apparel that was widely available :usure:
I heard it was the money and he had a bunch of designs and they didn't want to make that many

Resale price is always attached to hype and availability, its hard to combat that.
I can only speak for myself but I'm a big fan of Nike Rosherun and wanted to see what the deal was with the boost technology so I took the leap.

Availability is pretty much on par with a Nike QS release with more retailers being added with each release it seems.

Regarding futures - I remember people clowned me for them but the mesh on them is comfy; I keep those by the front door and slip my feet in whenever.

I find most of my time looking for discounted retro runners and gems from all brands now. Walking away with 3 classic pairs of comfortable, quality shoes for the price of 1 pair of J's is a little more satisfying to me now. Eventually I'll end up getting out of the game soon though probably.
