This shoe is going to be the most sought after shoe of the year. Tomorrow at the stroke of midnight, LA, Chicago, and New York sneakerheads will walk into one of three stores in each city and purchase the Nike Air Yeezy, Kanye West's signature Nike sneaker, for $215. Then many of them will go on eBay and sell it for three to eight times the price:
The gray ones released in the beginning of April are going for around $600 on eBay and a pair of the coveted black ones are going for $1,600! Each colorway is limited to 3,000 sneakers. I must admit, the glow in the dark sole is pretty baller.
My co-worker was thinking of going after work today to wait for these. She called Foot Locker on Wednesday to see whether they got the shoes in. "Oh, we have them," said the employee. "There are already 15 people forming a line outside."
Recession? What recession?
