The big bags have either 2 hoodies, or a hoody & a Jacket for $95, & the smaller bags have 3 fitted hats for $45.  The dope thing about it is that most of the hoodies & jackets are more than $95 for one, & your basically getting 3 hat’s for the price of 1.  So don’t sleep, they are going fast.  Other than that, we have the Kid Cudi & Asher Roth show coming up @ the Royal Oak Music theatre.  This is gonna be C-Razy.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL US TO ASK US ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE YEEZY’S.  WE WILL MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE A RUDE UNDERTONE WHEN WE REALIZE THE CALL IS FOR THE YEEZY’S. I can answer the majority of the questions here, right now in my 25 best answers to Yeezy questions.  You can also do a quick reference to #25.

  1. YES WE ARE GETTING THE YEEZY’S ON SATURDAY JUNE 6, 2009 @ 10AM
  2. WE WILL NOT HOLD YEEZY’S FOR ANYONE.  NOT EVEN YEEZY HIMSELF
  3. WE WILL NOT SELL THEM TO YOU AT A SUPER INFLATED PRICE (ANYTHING OVER $2,000 COME HOLLA AT US, WE’LL TALK)
  4. WE WILL NOT SELL THEM EARLY
  5. WE WILL NOT TELL YOU HOW MANY PAIRS WE HAVE IN STOCK (THERE NOT EVEN HERE YET)
  6. THE PRICE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
  7. YES WE ARE DOING RAFFLES (SEE ATTACHED FLYERS)
  8. YES THAT’S THE ONLY WAY TO BE PART OF THE RAFFLE
  9. NO WE CANNOT TELL YOU WHEN THE BEST TIME TO START LINING UP FOR IS (MY SUGGESTION IS RIGHT NOW)
  10. YES IT IS THE TAN ONES W/ THE GLOW IN THE DARK BOTTOM & SWOOSH, & NO YOU CANNOT BUY MULTIPLE PAIRS, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?
  11. YES RICK & I ARE GETTING A PAIR FOR OURSELVES
  12. NO RICK & I DID NOT PLAY YOU IN ANY TYPE OF WAY…IF ANYTHING BLAME NIKE, IT’S CALLED SUPPLY, DEMAND, & HYPE!!!
  13. LIFE IS SOMETIMES UNFAIR
  14. IF WE GET A TICKET FROM THE CITY OF ROYAL OAK BECAUSE YOUR BLOCKING THE SIDEWALK, THE PRICE OF THE TICKET WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE YEEZY (HAVE SOME RESPECT)
  15. PLEASE DO NOT BRING A DRUG ADDICT TO STAND IN LINE FOR YOU
  16. OUR “FRIEND” TO YEEZY RATIO OUT WEIGHS THE AMOUNT OF YEEZY’S WE GET IN.  SO JUST STOP RIGHT THERE.
  17. YES WE ARE “FRIENDS”, & SINCE WE ARE SUCH GOOD “FRIENDS”, STAND YO ASS IN LINE & SUPPORT OUR BUSINESS. (SHOUT OUT TO EDDIE, GRIFF & BUB.  SOME OF MY TRUE FRIENDS THAT STAYED IN LINE OVERNIGHT FOR THE 1ST PAIR)
  18. WE APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU THINK YOU SPEND SOOOOOOO MUCH MONEY IN HERE & THAT YOU’RE THAT “COOL” WITH US THAT YOU DESERVE A PAIR.  MONEY DOESN’T MAKE YOU BETTER THAN THE NEXT PERSON. (THAT’S A LIFE LESSON THERE) & IF WE WOULD HAVE KNEW THAT WAS THE REASON THAT YOU WERE COPPING SO HEAVY, WE WOULD NOT HAVE SOLD THAT STUFF TO YOU.  GROW UP!!!
  19. WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE JUST TRYINNA FLIP THEM.  THEY STOOD IN LINE, THEY CAN SET THEM ON FIRE FOR ALL I CARE.
  20. YOU DON’T DESERVE A PAIR JUST BECAUSE YOUR A “SNEAKER HEAD”, REAL HEADS WILL DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO GET THEM.
  21. I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK, & YOU CAN’T SIT IN LINE (REFER TO #13)
  22. EXCUSES ARE MONUMENTS OF NOTHING, BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!
  23. WE DON’T OWE YOU ANYTHING.
  24. YEAH, I FEEL YOU, BUT I’M NOT JESUS.  I CAN’T TURN WATER IN TO WINE.  OR A PAIR OF THESE GR DUNKS THAT’S BEEN SITTING HERE OVER A YEAR TO A PAIR OF AIR YEEZY’S.  SORRY.
  25. HELL NO!!!

That should cover all bases.  If by any chance these 25 answers didn’t answer all questions, give us a call & we’ll try our best to answer the questions that you have.

To the people who do stand in line, & wait like champions, we humbly appreciate your support.  We try to do everything in our power to make everything fair, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.  We’re trying to build something here in Michigan that’s bigger than all of us, and I’m not willing to risk any of that for anybody.  Remember, not too long ago, people wouldn’t have dreamed about copping a pair of something this limited anywhere in Michigan.  So we are taking steps in the right direction.  We finally caught the eye of the people that call the shots.  We gotta take baby steps.  I wish I had a million pair to sell, but if they made that many, ya’ll prolly wouldn’t even want them.  It’s a catch 22 huh?  Oh well, life goes on.  I’m out.  Stay Fly, Stay Fresh, Stay Safe.  Peace.
