yeah, but the fact you give a bunch of shoe destroying kids free shoes and they wear them doesn't prove much

idk, I never saw too many people, outside their riders, rocking them


alot of cats rocked those kicks.. i dont even like em, but I used to see alot of people with em.. plus, they made a huge dent in the skateboard market around the time all the confused hipsters & hip-hop nerds started rocking skate stuff really heavy..

truth be told, I've never seen a pair of those Yeezy's until right now.. he had some custom Skytops my homie at Supra designed, that resembled those back in the day.. they would light up all crazy when he walked/performed.. :shaq2:

the 1st ice creams were way too limited...and then when they signed the deal with reebok and mass produced em they flopped...

yeezys are the most hyped shoe ever

who said anything about most hyped shoes ever? this thread didn't say anything about most hyped shoe ever.

the 1st ice creams were intended to be that limited, just like all the BBC/Ice Cream gear.

the RBK line of ice creams sold like crazy, hipsters and hypebeasts were all up on them kicks...and like everything in the streetwear/hipster/hypebeast world... it hit hard, and disappeared just as fast.

Also the Ice Creams started falling of after they scrapper the 2000 pairs per shoe thing.
That's when all the broke cats started rocking bootlegs and even Pharell stopped rocking them.

And I think a lot of people are confusing the Ice Creams with The Bapestas.

exactly.. if you were in the shoe game, and not just buying them- its not even a question about Ice Creams..

They sold well, but they didn't sell more than the S.Carters.
And I doubt that they sold more than Bapes, you'll probably even find pics of Pharell rocking Bapes more than Ice Creams.
