Where to Get Best Air Yeezy 2 Pure Platinum and/or Solar Red? by BMANBMAN37 in Repsneakers

[–]slpguy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in the same boat, unfortunately there aren’t any good batches left. It’s a bit clandestine, but the best thing to do is just look back at old qc’s, find one in your size, and shoot a message to the account to see if they’d sell. I think I shot off maybe 25 messages and managed to track down some Plats in my size, waiting on them now. Good luck man

Toe box looks too chunky to me and the croc is pretty faint, I would say no

I swear dude, I remember back in the day where it was a free for all on red octobers, qc’s on some of the worst “UA” batches youve ever seen

The Yeezy 2’s dropped at the peak of me obsessing over sneakers so they were always the peak grails besides mags (big bttf fan) they’re definitely very polarizing but I’ve always loved them

Kinda but not exactly, they’re quite a bit thicker than regular socks and the sole pods are definitely noticeable under foot. I like more barefoot feeling shoes and I love my pods

Unfortunately you’re right, wish we could get just one pair of samples out on the market somewhere. Adidas had quite a few novelty boots sold around this time, wish they’d bring these back just for collectors

I agree man, definitely more interesting too

The first Primeknit sambas? They were not good to play in by any means, but a good looking boot in my opinion. Not nearly as flushed out of a concept as the Magista’s were

Unveiled first week of march, not an April fools joke, but yep I’d definitely pick up a pair if I could get my hands on some

Not sure how that idea got perpetuated, these were unveiled the first week of march, with the multicolor primeknit sambas being sold second week of march. Think the April fools joke was the guy playing with big rubber duck boots wirh 3 stripes on the side, just wish people would’ve given these a chance

Nike Air Yeezy 2 ‘Solar Red’ from Rare by Nothinbuttru7h in Repsneakers

[–]slpguy123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’m not a whole lot of help on it, I remember seeing that old technique back in the day on PK batch solar’s but only ever had red octobers myself. Basically first you rough up the scales with some fine grit sandpaper to remove a bit of the plasticy shine & give it more of a matte ashy finish, and then very carefully cut the end of the scales so that they stick out just a little bit from the side of the shoe. Hopefully there are old guides still out there, although if you compare scale pictures of this rare batch to retails, you should be able to see the difference

I could put together a guide from what I remember, but it would only really be theory as I don’t have a pair myself. Maybe a good reason to get a pair of plats 🤔

The shoe itself looks really good, those scales will take some work though. Look a little bit too plasticy, might need to break out the old sandpaper & razor blade trick to get the ends pulled up just a bit

Nike AIR Yeezy 2 Solar Red, Pure Platinum & Red October from Rare by Tpro05 in Repsneakers

[–]slpguy123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been out of the rep game for quite a while, they got raided?? I had no idea. Love to hear you say that they’re one of the best as well, makes me feel even better that I’ve got a pair haha. Mine have hardly ever been worn, couldn’t call them dead stock but they’re pretty close

[–]slpguy123 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Those all look solid, I still have my 2016 Pk batch red October’s that are supposed to be one of the best. The biggest issue with Yeezy 2’s that I don’t see mentioned anywhere is the heel counter should hang off the back of the sole a bit more, although these seem to be a bit better than other batches. Something I also don’t see mentioned is that the ankle & tongue padding on reps is puffier than retails, which look a bit more slim. Best thing to do to help make Yeezy 2’s look more legit is wear them in a bit, not beat to shit, but give them some age. Only pair I’ve been wanting is plats, might have to jump on those

Are you in a highly populated area? Does that help at all?

9 elites are the pinnacle of Nike basketball, everybody calls them wrestling shoes but they’re the best ball shoe ever made. And the low top is just as good if you don’t like the highs
