It's kind of an awesome deal for a few people needing a specific look for themed events or cosplays. May not be highest long term quality, but better than literally gluing foam and/or leather to a compression sock that may be uncomfortable in the end.

YE realizing that he wanted to be independent withheld this particular idea, marketed it and generated cash flow.

[@urstube6901]

Yep probably! I also think that perhaps, just perhaps, he is attempting to convey to you that the perceived value of other sock shoes or trainers in the market might not align with reality, suggesting they could be sold for significantly lower prices. And that is what he has demonstrated in the 200 to 20 price shift and mimicking of the design. this is all just speculation lol

[@another3997]

Businesses use associations with celebrities to market their products all the time. Those celebrities come and go, some quicker than others, but companies like Adidas will always find someone and make the most of it, until such time it's no longer beneficial for them. Big companies like Adidas outlast a great many such "celebrities", because most of the time, their fame is relatively short lived. The worlds of sport and celebrities are fickle, unforgiving and unpredictable.

[@JonNuclear]

I've seen it mentioned here already, but anybody who ordered for $200 could get their refund for the additional 180 they paid. Kanye had a pretty famous quote about wanting to sell clothes and shoes for $20 so everybody would have an opportunity to get them, and like you speculated it's generally agreed upon that the $200 was just to be a marketing thing, especially sense all the extra money was set aside and refunded right away(by request) after the discounted price was announced. Also even at $200, it did have some pretty good sales(for some reason), nothing compared to old yeezy's but because of that I'm inclined to think that it was always planned on being discounted and not dont just because of poor sales.

[@tommytarantula]

[@Grayverse]

Thx for the insight. I bought a pair of pods. Because i was curious about the sock shoes in general. Honestly, i have never been interested in sock shoes before Yzy pods. I think they are minimalistic functional fashion shoes. Wear them for few months and discard-type of shoes for 20💲

They are an absolutely amazing gym shoe. Doesn't take up a lot of bag space so you can wear whatever shoe you want to the gym.
