My Frustration With Trying To Buy Yeezy Boost 350's

The story of my struggles at trying to buy a very popular Adidas sneaker.

My Frustration With Trying To Buy Yeezy Boost 350's

Last week's article was about shoes that you can buy very easily in almost any department store or shoe store. However, now I will discuss the problems with a group of shoes that I have had a personal struggle to get (and have failed). This shoe line is called "Yeezy".

Looks like a very simple shoe right? Should be only 100$ max? Well, that is wrong.


These shoes above retail for $200 plus tax and you are lucky if you are able to get them at that price. These shoes go on sale at a few stores in each area and online on the Addidas website. However, they sell out within seconds as the shoes are released in such small quantities. The demand for the shoe is through the roof and causes the website to crash when so many people try to add the shoes to their cart. When a couple of seconds have gone by you eventually realize that the shoes have sold out and all of them are gone. Your chances are over, you might think. That's wrong again. You can still get a pair but at a different price this time.

An authentic pair of shoes is available for resale. They selling on eBay and start at about $750. Some rare sizes go for about $1500 which is crazy for a shoe that is supposed to cost $200. However, if you want them this bad then it's the price you have to pay.

I think that these shoes are so popular that they should be able to be bought by many people. No one should have to pay $500 or more extra on top of retail for a sneaker. These shoes should have one or two rare versions but overall the line of shoes should be widely available to the public. The release of shoes should involve replenishment and sales in stores nationwide instead of a couple seconds of hope in getting a rare shoe. I will continue to try my luck at getting a pair of Yeezys in the meantime through the conventional way. However, I hope in the future much more pair come out that don't resell for much more than their worth.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
