I'm not even saying i don't like them. They are so plain you cant really hate them. I just dont get this cultural surge associated with them.

its all good man I'm just poking fun

Honestly, have you put on a pair? They're actually very comfortable. I was on them for 9 hours today.

@colin450 the breds are my go to.....hahaha cardinal sin I know

ahhh I gotcha

I had reconstructive surgery on my right foot this year due to a severe car accident, so I need shoes that keep the swelling down. 8 screws and 1 plate later....

That blows.

Are these things readily available to try on? I thought they were so limited or whatever that they were sold out immediately. Is this a footlocker thing or a nordstrom thing?

That’s why I quit wearing nikes, for some reason after I broke my fibula and tore a few ligaments and tendons in my ankle, adidas was the only shoe I could wear and be on my feet 10+ hours a day. I don’t know why but that’s what I wear all the time now

Lol I always want to grab the breds and wear them whatever I'm doing. Luckily they're all black so they're easy to keep clean.

I think Adidas/Kanye West kind of marketed them perfectly. They were super rare for a few years and that created this massive hype around them. There's plenty of pairs that you still can't touch for less than $1000 on resale sites. Now they're going to be restocking a bunch of colorways so pretty much anyone that wants a pair will get them.

The resale guys are pissed they can't make a quick buck selling them but for a guy like me that wants to wear them just because I like them, it's great. I'm sure they'll still sell out within hours on restock day but if you know when that day is, you should be able to get a pair.

Easiest would be to just ask your friends who's got them, you wont find them in a shoe store, unfortunately.

You won't find them in any store unless you find a specialty sneaker shop in your city, even then it's still a huge maybe. If you want a pair, start with the Creams that just restocked yesterday & today. There's still some sizes left on Yeezy Supply and the Adidas website. If you want something that stands out a little more check out the Butters on Stockx, Goat, Stadium Goods, Flight Club, they're pretty fairly priced as far as Yeezy goes.

Most people say order a 1/2 size up. I order true-to-size and they loosen up a bit. The length isn't an issue it's the sock-like upper that's pretty snug over the top of your foot but will definitely loosen up as you wear them.

Yeah a bit, just like the UI of Goat more tbh
Gotcha. Have you ever sold shoes on StockX or Goat? They kind of rip you off, I sold the Nike element react 87s for like $305 and only got like $264. Then you have to transfer the funds from Goat/StockX to your paypal and that's like another 3 percent fee.

You don't have to apologize for not liking them, none of them will be in my collection.
