Why do guys say they hate thirsty chicks, but love Nike/JB. How ironic! Nike has the same tactics as a thirsty chick- which is to make their product look as good as they can while reaching as far down your pockets as possible. They then send free pairs to your favorite rappers and athletes, and other iconic figures not to satisfy them but to make you drool, because really they can give less than 2 shits about you and the puppets they use to market their brand. Nike has done nothing as a brand to let their minority consumers know that they are important. Kanye, a hip hop icon releases his 2nd sig under nike using extremely dated nike technology...main consumer will be African Americans and Latinos/ lower class..." so lets only make a few pair and let them fight over those". On the other hand Tiger Woods -only the highest paid athlete EVER is on like his 13th sig with Nike using the latest most innovative Nike technology (Nike free) Main consumer will be whites/upper class....nobody who wants and can afford the retail price of the TW13's will be without and that's a guarantee. Thats an example of a simple gesture to the consumers letting them know u care about what they want. Wake da fuk up people- the train leaves at 8:00 and is 7:45- half of y'all are not even dressed yet. #wake up #cool story

I actually turned down owning a pair (from friends at the top).
I wanted these as a pair to wear, but with the desperation of a few individuals, especially in NYC, these will get me KIA.
So no thanks. Nice kicks, but they are not worth dying for.

@iconwithnikeson I agree with you on that point. The limited supply creates high demand. I get Nike's angle. It's just sad like you said. A ton of people want this shoe but won't be able to get. The worse part is the people who do get either have to sell or risk their life by wearing them because other selfish idiots on the streets. But I see your point

Pleeeeasse lmao. Says the dude with hyphens and underscores in his name. I got the name regrestered on AOL instant messenger. People ain't used that in 5 years.
Get lost u probly stole the shit from me low key. The name evolved outta a cormega line for me, so don't flatter yourself.
@jamrock I agree with you and felt the same anger towords Nike when I didn't get the concords, my point was that for particular shoes such as these, the galaxies, nerf KD's ect... Mass producing the shoe wont work because that limited supply/exclusiveness is what creates the hype. Its outta hand with such shoes no matter what, so it becomes either cash out/figure out a plan, or don't get um. It's a sad reality for true sneakerheads but it is what it is.

@iconwithnikeson I understand what the intended purpose of a limited release which is why I said what I said. I said they should mass produce. Theyve hyped it. they've pushed it back. Why can't you make more than limited run per continent if you know that it's gonna be sold. And your comment about working hard and buying a pair is stupid. The retail price isn't the problem. The resell price is. How many sneakerheads do you know who can shell $2000 for a pair of kicks or are willing to? Maybe you know a lot. I dont. Plus, for many of us who do work, when do you get the time to just take off abruptly and camping out for a week and a half for a pair of sneakers. At my job, I can't. Lastly, I don't hate on anyone. I love sneakers. Nike, Jordans, Adidas, converse, etc. I am blessed to be able to get a lot of sneakers this year and in the past. Lebron and KD ASGs, cement 4, metallic red foams, etc. I also misses out on a lot of releases too. Galaxy foams, YOTD KDs, etc. hating wasn't in my comment. I won't the ppl who obtain the yeezys. My anger is directed at Nike productions. I still love their products but it's getting ridiculous with some of these launches. That's my point!

Its an air Yezzy we're talking about here. It was never intended to be mass produced like the Jordan XI. This isn't some basketball shoe Retro, it's an exclusive signature shoe. If everyone was walking around with them on and you could cop a pair on CL for $450, then this particular shoe fails. Releases like this happen for a reason. Its all part of the same plan. Guys like you are gonna keep walking around in the old royal 10s hating on something that's so easy to understand. Such comments are simply kindling to Nike's fire. Put in the required hard work obtaining the money to cop a pair, or be a boss a make it an easy cop.
Live the life or don't the choice is yours.
Crazy they had to push it back like that and then do a superquickstrike on the release day info cus fools were lining up a month in advance last time. Sound the gun for the race to the lines...

It really sucks that Nike is doing this shoe like this. They can easily mass produce it the way they do with the Air Jordan XIs. But they elect to make it super limited for celebrities, rich people and a select few, which cause chaos and pandamonium. They know what the hype was on this shoe and pushed it back for like 8 months which would be plenty of time to make more for the masses. Yet, they don't. Nike is really getting ridiculous. No love for the average consumer.
