The more I look at the Highlighter Yellow Yeezy, the more I start to see how Adidas/Kanye fucked up. Volt Yellow/Black is an excellent colour combination (especially prevalent in soccer sneakers), and they would've created a much better colour combination than blue/yellow/gum. Especially when you already have the loud zebra pattern in addition to the extremely loud colour.

That was the hypebeast version of a heat check. Kanye just wanted to know if people would actually buy it... much like the wr 700 haha

Exactly this. They released it to show, "yea i can release any shit and people will buy"

ACRONYM AF1s copped.

Easily the nicest Yeezys IMO

WesleyShark said:
I have to agree.

MegaManTrigger said:
Definitely much nicer than the one with the loud orange strip.

Y'all are true gentlemen. The Beluga 2.0s are much better than their older brothers. Fuck the orange strip!

I can't stop wearing mine. I'm probably going to go .5 up next time around but I'm satisfied with the purchase nonetheless.

WesleyShark · Dec 2, 2017

The beluga 2s definitely fit very tight when they arrived. Tighter than my breds. But I've worn them several times and they already loosened up and feel verrrrry comfy.

I love them. Wore em to work on casual Friday and got a ton of comments lol.

I felt that as well. I got the Belugas and they feel very snug TTS.

I'm hoping they loosen up since I dont wanna remove the insole. Adidas sizing is fucked across the board but it really is confusing when other yeezys are perfect TTS, and this one makes me wish I have gone up half a size.

timeforsana · Dec 2, 2017

That moment when you think you might have ordered a size too big.

senorjojo · Dec 2, 2017

That moment when you wake up and realise you've put bids on the same shoe on GOAT and StockX and both got accepted.

Keylow · Dec 2, 2017

New balance re released the concepts 999 Hyannis a few weeks back and mine came in. There really nice

Reckoner · Dec 2, 2017

How is the sizing on Puma suede? Is half size up alright?

I think you can go TTS. Suede, like leather is pretty soft and pliable when it comes to conforming to your foot.

Are the gore-tex primeknit nmd's worth the $230?

Personally, I don't think so. The market is so saturated with NMDs that I think the Goretex are gonna be sitting, maybe until discount time.

Antiwhippy · Dec 3, 2017

Man I fuck with these new Y-3's hard. It's like the balenciaga socks except better. And cheaper.

Cosmic Bus · Dec 3, 2017

Yeah, the Y3 ss18 lineup looks unexpectedly nice. Funny because yesterday I was just saying that it had been a long time since I've liked anything they've put out.

Darkwing-Buck said:

I like mine. I bet they'll go on sale at some point, since they don't seem to have a ton of hype.

I bought em for the waterproof goodness. Living in Pittsburgh, with our shitty winters, they'll get some use.

I'm also pretty interested in the canvas shoes in the colelction. Something about the sole really pops off for me. They look nicer than the rick owens stuff.

shaunLEGEND · Dec 4, 2017

I'm surprised at the opinions I'm reading in here...Beluga 2.0's better than than the OG's WTF?

I came in here to ask about people's opinions on 350 v1's as I am about to cop one at resell prices but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea lmao.

TD's are above my price range but what do you think of the remaining three as they are all about the same range?

pirate blacks
oxford tans
moonrocks

BSherrod · Dec 4, 2017

Ordered some Infrared 6's for what I think is a good price. Any one have any experience getting rid of the oxidization of icy soles?

I liked the beluga 1 before, and I still do, but the beluga 2 just looks so much cleaner to me without the orange stripe.

Not sure if v1s would be worth the resell price but that's up to you man! Aren't the v2s more comfortable?

sixteen-bit · Dec 4, 2017

Why exactly was Adidas' Iniki runner renamed to I-5923 recently? The new name is so clumsy.

I heard for legal reasons.

Such a huge mistep for them with the new name. I don't mind numbers used for naming, but at least use something memorable or can roll off the tongue, this is so stupid. Not only that, the tag attached looks super clumsy as well. I think they completely ruined the shoe with the new name, and it wasnt even doing so hot to begin with.

fallingedge · Dec 4, 2017

If I am spending $500+ on shoes, it will be on designer brands.

Unless I won Powerball. Then I'm all in on some moonrocks.

Yeah I have a bunch of v2's already so this is more about rounding out my collection.

Also yeah, it's safe to say comfort is not my primary concern, I still wear J's lmao.

My sister in Scotland was going through the attic and found a pair of Puma G. Vilas in the original packaging from about 1986. Size 10. They must have been mine but I can't remember why I never wore them (I had a pair I wore to death). She says the soles have yellowed a bit but they're otherwise mint.

LosDaddie · Dec 4, 2017

I don't care if the AJ11 Reds will be everywhere. I still want my pair. I hope to win at least one of these raffles.

senorjojo · Dec 5, 2017

Is there major shipping delays in the US at the moment? I'm awaiting on a couple of sneakers from StockX and both pairs have been "En route to StockX for authentication" for over a week. Usually it only takes a couple of days.

Yup I noticed this as well. Also I am still waiting on orders from Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
I have a few orders from various places actually say "delayed" with no reasons why.
Some of those orders showed up this past weekend, but much slower shipping than normal.

Agree on the name and new CWs, but think the shoe is one of their best sellers. In terms of boost shoes on peeps feet when im out and about, nmd are most worn, followed by iniki, then probably PB. UBs and EQTs are nowhere near as popular

StockX responded to a couple of people on Twitter in the same boat and have said that UPS are experiencing some delays.

Was really hoping to get the Off White x Air Max 97's before my birthday, but that's not happening. :(

gir · Dec 5, 2017

anybody else curious about the adidas prophere? Hesitant excitement here after getting excited about the climacool 17 and eqt cushion, then just feeling meh after seeing them in hand

gir · Dec 5, 2017

also while speaking about kicks to be excited about, excited about the air max 98 gundam. Want to see a pair in hand before buying though

Ditto. Hopefully they aren't kept for Air Max day.

Exact opposite for me. I live in NYC.

Never seen an Iniki in the wild in my life. Suprising amounts of EQTs, and NMDs.

Either way look forward to seeing they're dope shoes!

Was walking the dog around the college campus near our apartment today, and there were so many pairs of Kaws and Off-White Nikes around. College kids just buy bots in their spare time these days, I guess?

I'm feeling the wave runners so I would definitely have ordered this if it wasn't a bundle.

I can't mess with the oversize clothing...at all ‍

Kinda looks like a less adventurous Acne Manhattan sneaker.

Heromanz · Dec 5, 2017

$200 for a pair of shorts?
What in the world?

MegaManTrigger · Dec 5, 2017

The wave runner isn't even boost either from what I see. Looks like Adiprene.
