Aftermarket Ye: Resale Websites Not Dropping Yeezy Sneakers
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: EBAY / eBay If you thought aftermarket sneaker resale sites would pass on selling adidas Yeezys despite Kanye West going full antisemite, you thought wrong. Clearly, there is just too much money to be made. With adidas saying it has cut ties and Foot Locker even going as far as removing Yeezy kicks from sales floors, it’s a matter of supply and demand. So the price of even those Yeezy bricks is going up—and you’ll surely find them on spots like StockX or eBay at premium prices—if you have no shame in rocking that guy’s footwear. Reports TMZ: We’ve spoken with several people at some of the resale industry’s biggest sites who all tell us the same thing — Yeezys are about to go way up in value. We’re told this will happen as supply for the shoes continue to ...
