Waiting for Air Yeezys

Kanye West got video footage of the Los Angeles Black/Pink Air Yeezy campout scene. LA heads tell their stories about camping and the importance of obtaining the shoe. Ibn Jasper also makes a guest appearance in the video. A young lady says she missed a week of school camping, while a guy said he lost his job and is now living off his savings (so sad). Check out the video and discuss your stories and thoughts in the comments section.

    word, Kids please realize this sneaker game only last so long. Sneakers will be there forever, if you cant afford or find the time to get a pair just wait, you’ll get a deal later. TRUST ME. good things do happen to those who wait.

    The chick that missed school for a week, and the dude that lost his job??? People they are just kicks at the end of the day I wanted them to, but I’m not missing out on money or my education to cop…priorities are much more important then kicks.

    ‘HELL NAH’ is all I have to say about this. I guess if you have the time, go for it. One store here in Portland got em, but I don’t think people had to wait a week for them. HOWEVER, it did rain last Friday… HELL NAH!!!

    Wow u loss ur job for some shoes? While Kanye is making millions off shoes,music and producing music! yea that was a smart choice idiot!!

  24. Real men merc pink details. Ya’ll just acting super salty and everybody knows why… And many need to ask JB for more kicks with Yeezy Quality. That being said, yes… there were some epic fails in that video. Has nothing to do with the rating of the shoes though…

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

    I always get the last laugh.

  34. Comment by (Sucker For Infrareds)-Camp outs are for lames May 4th, 2009 at 9:23 pm

    I managed to cop these for a cool $400. There is no way in hell that I would miss a week of school/college, or even lose my job over some kicks(that’s where the income is at!) . I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m a sneakerhead to the core, but you would never see me camping out for a second, min, hour, day, or even a week for some some rubber and patent leather. The people that camped out for a week for these have absolutely no life! lol.

  35. Comment by Brooklynnyc3000 May 4th, 2009 at 9:25 pm

    I don’t mind people camping out for the sneakers, I really don’t. If you like the sneakers, find…. camp out as long as you want. I’m just bothered by the fact that people buy HYPED up sneakers just to resell to make a profit, (They’re killing the game) Yo, word is born…. I can’t wait until these little kids find a new hobby and move on with their lives….

  36. Comment by 2PairsofYeezy's May 4th, 2009 at 9:26 pm

    i didn’t lose my job that week! dont knock till you know.. i lost it in september been living off my savings you dumbasses need to stop thinking that

  37. Comment by (Sucker For Infrareds)-Camp outs are for lames May 4th, 2009 at 9:27 pm

    Oh yeah, and I guarantee that dumb ass who lost his job will be homeless within 3 weeks. SMH.

  38. Comment by DAViD2i5 May 4th, 2009 at 10:10 pm

    aint got no chance of buying all 3 at retail but at resell; sucks !

  39. Comment by Vagrant Pistol May 4th, 2009 at 10:23 pm

    What a fukin’ loser! I would never lose my job over a piece of clothing!! You kid, have just won the award of being “The epitome of a low life”. A Homeless person has more class than you….and that’s a fact!

  40. Comment by fresh_NIKES May 4th, 2009 at 10:41 pm

    haven’t been able to get my hands on one of them…and what is up with that ANNOYING sound from some ANNOYING advertisment on the TSG.COM homepage?!?!?!?!

  41. THE PINK ONES ARE NOT MORE EXCLUSIVE THAN THE OTHER TWO, THEY ALL GOT THE SAME NUMBERS, STUPID KID TRYIN TO HYPE UP THE SITUATION EVEN MORE

    stupid kids, man back in the day, my mom would bust my head for askin to camp out days for a shoe, now adays all these little kids got all the freedom in the world

  42. WATCH……GIVE IT ‘TIL ABOUT SEP/OCT TIMEFRAME, AND YEEZY’S WILL “MAGICALLY” APPEAR ON EASTBAY/PYS AS A GENERAL RELEASE……WATCH…….AND YOU FOOLS WHO PAID TRIPLE RETAIL ARE GONNA WANNA JUMP OFF A BRIDGE…..

  43. Yo, (Sucker for Infrareds) I need help man. Tell me where u scored the yeezys for 400. I’ve seen em around for 800 and up but my hard earned grand is goin towards dmps. Anyway, I gotta knw where u found em. Ma b-days comin up and I wanna look fly and these might do the trick.

  44. Almost forgot, can u PLEASE tell me where u copped them. Don’t wanna sound ungrateful.

  45. Comment by (Sucker For Infrareds)-Camp outs are for lames May 4th, 2009 at 11:35 pm

    @Lee: Yo I copped my Black/pink joints from the Bay as soon as they dropped. I stayed up all night trying to find a decent price. I slept on the Zen Greys when they dropped, but eventually I copped them from Kixclusive.com for $500. So, try that site…I think that is the cheapest resale price on the net.

    @TokyoMike: I agree that Nike will finally make the Yeezys a General Release later on this year because the hype will die down for good. They did the same thing with The 1st two colorways of the Spiz’ike….and I remember when the Ice Cream Boardflips dropped and how cats were beasting over those joints. A couple of months later….You saw them in your local Finish lines, Foot locker, etc. etc.

  46. Comment by j fanatic May 4th, 2009 at 11:52 pm

    excuse me real men merc pink ? uh ok ?? jordan is a way better shoe it look as if kanye just put his favorit shoes together and most of them being jordans !!!!!

  47. @(Sucker For Infrareds) thanks dude. This ain’t cool! Black/pink isn’t available and zen grey stops at 11.5. Where is the Bay? Srry for not knwing. I have sites that I frequently buy from that have what I want so I haven’t explored as much as I need to.

  48. i’m surprised by all the negative comments people are leaving, did we all forget that there waiting on like because of the love for the shoes, let them do what they want lol

  49. Comment by CenValCali May 5th, 2009 at 12:46 am

    ^^ Lee, the Bay is located in the Northern region of California along the Pacific Ocean….LOL!
    .
    Bay: short for eBay
    .
    On the real though, I do tip my New Era to these young’ns for their heart & determination doin w/e it takes to cop….IDK bout “spendin 1/2 of my whole savings,” for any joints….Guess if u still live w/Moms & Pops, u have that privilege….& that thought of “Oh, if I could cop a 2nd pr to flip on the Bay for a small profit,” thats just flat out lame/retarded imo….When I double up on some joints, its always 1 to rock & 1 to stock. I’d be damn campin out for more than 14 hrs (my record). Not tryin to sound hypocritical, but I fiddle round on eBay too. Different strokes for different folks….

  50. Comment by Lee May 5th, 2009 at 1:00 am

    ^^^CenValCali — lol, yeah.. I guess I asked for that one. Thats what I was afraid of. Ever since “scuba steve” had those fake yeezys for sale (peep say no to fakes and look for air fugeezy) I stray from that stuff. I’ll wait and see if the yeezys become general releases but it looks like RT1’s for now…

  51. Comment by Lee May 5th, 2009 at 1:10 am

    Unless anybody got a legit seller or store that has a sz12 in black/pink that they can pass along. Srry for being unknowledgeable, I started collecting in ‘04. Yes, I can be a bit of a n00b, but I knw my shiet for the most part. I’m so forgetful, must be these dam standardized tests lol

  52. Comment by Ray May 5th, 2009 at 1:13 am

    okay now that i saw the video and the majority of that line is wearing Bathing Ape to seem like they are down with street fashion.. i say these are just STAN’s.. you dont need to wait in line for more then 1 day (only if necessary) if you been in the game and understand how to get a shoe you want

  53. Comment by solefixated May 5th, 2009 at 1:19 am

    i hate kids that think just because of what they see a pair of kicks going for on ebay for the re-sell price is how much they are worth…the shoe is ight but regardless of the colorway they are still worth the same…anywhere from 280 to 375 is decent but i honestly wouldnt go higher than that

  54. Its like a bowl of snapping piranha’s in here… I love it.:D
    Anybody need a 9.5, that’s all i have left.
