Yeezy II Red Octobers just dropped and sold out immediately

[The_Sheff]

What are you even talking about, it wasn't like Kanye purposely limited the number ...

And you can't say that they sell because they're limited, not definitely. Just say YOU believe they sell because they're limited, because the Yeezy 1's are hot as fukk and something like the Solars would sell regardless.

Every release of his shoe has been limited. Put them shyts up as a general release and then you will know for a fact whether they are hot or not. We all know that the simple fact that something is limited drives the hype factor. Ive seen plenty of cases where people wait until they see the release type of a shoe before they decide if they are going to buy it or not. If a shoe was legit nice it wouldnt matter if it was a GR, QS, Urban Account, Jordan Account, etc.....

Nike has been doing this limited shyt for years and im willing to bet that when Kanye had his first shoe he was cool with that.

From a business perspective if you make X amount of pairs and they sellout instantly, you make more. You don't sit back and watch them resell for $8000 on eBay unless you didn't want someone to succeed

Its not about Nike not wanting someone to succeed. They are doing this more and more now. Even for shoes that arent affiliated with anyone, if they think a color is nice its damn near guaranteed to not be a general release.

This is what I'm saying. You can't discredit the shoe's popularity solely because of the limitedness of it. The same way I can't say they'd sell out if they were a GR, y'all can't say they're only hot because they're limited.

Not when you're trying to produce that "collector's item" effect...which is clearly what Nike is doing

lol breh, nike aren't trying to turn these into collectors items, they were already that due to the history of the release...like i said earlier, they were considered the rarest nikes ever...think about that for a second here.

nike just wanted to get rid of them, finally sever all ties with kanye and move on.

I don't deny they wanted to sever ties with Ye, that's clear. But from the get, these were never supposed to be Jordan's or LeBron's, mass produced and readily available sneakers. These were supposed to be limited edition kicks.

In fact, that's the source of the friction. Ye wanted to grow them into Jordan level kicks, Nike just wanted to release some niche kicks for die hard sneaker heads. They weren't on the same page and the relationship deteriorated from there to now where both parties are just content to move on.

i know all of ghat already breh, it just doesn't change the fact that nike wasn't trying to make them into collectors item. it just doesnt.

a nike shoe that nike makes with the intention of it becoming a collectors item is when they explicitly state how many were made (ie. stating that there were only 25 pairs of the pigeon dunk made) or 1 for 1 shoes.

limited edition is a vague term anyway. nike could release a shoe that has 1500 pairs made and call it limited edition because theyre not going to reup when it sells out...and i get your point about the lebrons and jprdans but its not that solid because most of the shoes that come from those lines can be considered limited edition.

bpttom line, nike was jerking kanye.

the ricardo tisci (givenchy) nike collab is lookin like a fail....i mean it'll sell out cuz itll be wild limited ...but nike tryna get some revenge back on kanye by releasing some wack ass air forces with an extended 8 inch flap that goes up to your knee is a bullshyt move, and will prove his overall influence/worth to the game...kanye designed gems in the yeezys, and these euro designers aint shyt
