• Nike Air Yeezy Release Recap

Today, Saturday, May 2, will arguably go down as one of the most memorable releases in sneaker culture history. The black/pink Nike Air Yeezy officially released at retail stores worldwide, fulfilling the fruitions of many Sneakerheads who traveled far and wide and patiently waited on city sidewalks, some even in unforgiving weather conditions, for a pair of what most consider the best colorway of the 3 releases. It is intriguing, from the outside looking in, to see the impact that a material good has on consumers and to examine the heights that which consumers will go through to be a rightful owner of that “thing.” So, what do you get when you put together the biggest trend-setter in Popular culture and a sneaker conglomerate with a commanding market share?

Thanks to Pogiwun we now have exclusive photos of the lineup at the Niketown in San Francisco. After speaking to a Sales Associate at 2pm PST, it has been confirmed that there are about 15 people in line and that Niketown will pass out wristbands and implement an official list sometime during Friday’s business hours. Also, the Sales Associate would not reveal the amount of pairs available. Good luck to all in the Bay Area. Good luck to all across the nation.
