    Seeing all the hype and shoe geeks wearing Tiffany SBs and rocking a matching Tiffany wallet has really turned me off to the shoe game. I willing to be 95% of those waiting in line are trying to resell, not rock those. Glad I saw the light.

    Whoever bought these to wear are suckers…cheap, fugly, and pure cheese…and whoever waited in line for these might as well have been the suckers’ mothers! I copped via a hookup without waiting, and have em on ebay – right now 2x what I paid…But in all fairness, you beasts keep guys like me in business!

  13. Posted by:What? on April 6, 2009 at 1:46 pm

    “wanna see how we got our yeezys?”
    I checked out your pictures — bunch of low lives with no jobs w nothing to do but ‘blog’ and waste even more time, more of a waste than your mothers took to spit you out of their vags.

    I got my shit 3 days beforehand, walk in, grab em, say thanks, leave — HAHAHAHAHAHAAAHA

    If you dont understand the hype of this shoe and what it stands for? then youre dumb.
    If you cant afford it? youre not supposed to be looking good because you need to set your priorities straight __ This is for ballers and true style, if you cant afford 200 bucks you need to get out the hood and start making some real money — People are selling these after retail for 800, WOOOW NO WAY you can afford that right?

  15. Posted by:DNAImagery on April 6, 2009 at 1:37 pm

    Everybody just standing around…Damn shame…Wanna see how we got our Yeezies? Hahaha…

    Congrats fellas….you wasted countless hours waited for a piece of leather with a name on it…

    Like Kanye himself said….would you go out with Ne-Yo if he drove a Geo…..

    So…would you cop these hideous pieces of shit if it didnt have Kanye’s name…let’s say Will.I.Am…would ya….I fucking doubt it…no pun intended but those are hypebeast kicks with a hypebeast price….

    I’ll wait for my Jordan 5’s pack thank you….

    Oh and Monty the self proclaimed dude in the 7th picture…you look like your 35 …get a life stop buying kicks and grow up…..plus you look like a Taliban…

    I got mine at Mita sneakers in Ueno, Tokyo Japan…..only about 30 people in line before opening, and about 75-100 total (maybe more) entered the raffle to win one of what I think was 12-18 pairs that Mita got…..not nearly as wild of a line up as I anticipated, but still fun, and getting picked first in the drawing was great…..really nice shoe…..

  25. Posted by:Monty on April 6, 2009 at 9:41 am

    That’s me in the 7′th picture. I Was waiting in record rainfall for 48 hours for the shoes. Livestock Toronto hooked me and my buddy up with some free swag, they were great. The shoes are AMAZING.
