Yo what's happened in DNA fam, it's your boy DJ back at you with another today
We're gonna talk about how I purchased every single Nike easy one and easy to four below market. I know
Everybody always says what you should do with your money and all this thing with buying shoes
Well me I knew that I want to spend more money on Yeezys
And I have an addiction to completing collections completing sets of stuff
so once I started set I want to complete it and then once I completed maybe I'll sell it or whatever maybe but I just
Want to complete it like it's just I don't know. It's like just a good feeling for me or whatever
So let's start from day one where it all started
Kanye West's glow in the dark tour easy ones
Samples different color ways everything started presented on the internet and we're all going crazy bananas in high school, right?
This is like Oh 708 so he comes to Portland on the glow in the dark tour. I
Seen him wearing the easy ones
They were glowing on the stage and I was literally in the crowd going crazy
like cuz I sat on the floor like kind of close to the stage and I could see him like real good and I was
Like those are the shoes like I gotta have the most so the shoes ended up releasing a compound. The retail was like
215 bucks or something like that and at the time I was copping kicks
I'm like, yeah, that's a lot for a pair of shoes because retros was like 160 or something like that
So my alright that's kind of expensive but then I found out the value was going up and at the time they were selling for
Like five or six hundred bucks
then I was going up to like seven to a
Thousand for like the black and pink hair and then the other pairs came out and they had the tan and the gray
Something in like okay. We got the black and pink just dropped. I really want these
But I found these online right and I would like to have these too
But I'm just like seventeen in high school trying to figure out how I get my first pair
So I glow on ISS and I find the gray easy this one and I'll find that one and then I'm like, okay
What can I do so I do a trade? I'll work a trade. I traded some great fives some all-white nines and
Something else. It was like some pure money fours
Well, so try two three shoes for the gray easy one and I was going crazy wearing them in the hallway
People was like yo, you got the easies like I was stuntin like and the dude told me it was a b-grade, right?
So that's the red flag right there. How was Jack?
I didn't know so he wrote a B on the tag on the inside of the foot
Make it with a sharpie knowing that they always use a stamp, but I don't know why I was thinking it was okay
So I had these great easiest and I'm like, yo, I'm fly i'm studing so in this time right now
I'm thinking they're real
everybody else thinks they wrote because they can't they've never seen them before so everybody thinks this is a real pair and I want a
Black pair right? So I'm like I'm wearing that black parent for graduation on carry if ands or buts
I'm rocking that class the black pair right? So this is the pair that I wanted for graduation
So I make a trade I traded those
For these right? So now I have the black pair and I'm like about the Rockies of graduation. I'm about to be flushed
So I'll rock on my graduation. Everything is good. We Gucci we golden right?
After graduation the Concord 11 strop. Everybody's going crazy for those. I got the box signed by Tinker
So I traded my Tinker signed
11th for the fake pair back to the guy that I traded for the black and pink pair
So I was like, ooh, I got two pair Easy's I got the black ones. I got the gray ones
This one's a B grade, but it's all right
And I didn't know that there was fake still I didn't know and nobody knew at that time
I wasn't all these apps and all this verification stuff and it was just kind of like word-of-mouth type thing
I wanted to trade which I shouldn't have done. But I did I got scammed for these. So after I graduated that summer I
Then had these and I wanted to trade him for the og
September blue sixes size 13. I found them on eBay and I was like
This is one of my all-time favorite shoes. No matter how much I was excited to wear these for graduation
I wanted those six is really bad and they were about the same value at the time. These were like 900 bucks and
Those were going for like a thousand dollars because I was like what 10 years ago, right?
So at the time that she was still like what years old baby saw my cool. Let's make a trade
Let's make this happen. We make the trade the guy keeps my easy one sends me nothing in return
So now I'm out of my easy ones I got a fake pair of gray ones
And then that's what I found out that my pair was fake after that. So then I'm like, bro
I don't got no more Easy's my grandparents fake. What am I supposed to do now like this is crazy
I want to say like maybe like six months go by a little bit more time goes by. Yeah, because this is like 2012
It's been a little bit of time then the easy to surfaces and I'm like, oh, what is this? I need that
so I see the easy two and this gray parent is the parent that comes out on the west coast and
The black pair is the pair that comes out on the East Coast
So I'm like yo, how can I get these like I gotta have them right we go to compound
There's a launched fat line like a bunch of people a huge raffle system and there's only like eight pairs available
So I don't even hit on the right one. I'm sick. Come on. Yo, I gotta have these. I need easy's in my life
I want the whole set like and at the time it was the three easy ones and then you have
The two Yeezys. The red Octobers weren't even talked about at that moment
So then we come along and I'm like, okay, I don't have the easies. I didn't hit for the easy twos
I got this fake pair in my collection. What am I supposed to do? And I had him that was fakes
I literally throw him in the back of my closet. Like I didn't want to see these but I didn't want to get rid of
Them because I was just like this is a good like memory piece
Some time goes by and I'm like Brett I think I just found the black and pink
Easy twos so I go and verify them. I check him real good cuz my homie kind of rocked him
He beat him up there
they were selling for like the easy two at the time was selling for like I want to say like
Twelve to fifteen hundred. It was like a lot of money at the time. So I'm like, okay, he wants like 600 bucks
And I have the og Orlando cans with the Box fresh crispy at the time on all the city pack tins
Were he like if you had those us Michelle gonna be able to get some money froze sauce out?
Alright, look I'll give you the Orlando tins and I'll give you 200 bucks. So I gave him the Orlando tins and 200 bucks
I got our land no tins for $200, but they was worth more. So I spent $400 in total
To get these right here one problem. They were a size 12
But I didn't care because I was like, I'm at 13 I can make work take the insult out
So I took the install out all rocking them
I was happy then I was like, okay, I'm I sell to 12 to get to 13
So I sell to 12 on flight school right here buy school shoes calm. I sell that pair to the editor of
complex
Website complex you guys all know about complex, right? We have a great transaction business is great
He loved how I was honest with him told him. Hey there use I cleaned him up
I made him look really good. All these things great detailed photos made sure the transaction was smooth
He sent me my money
I sold him for like I want to say
$1,000 and I was I was really happy because I was like cool and I'm gonna take this money and go find another pair
But the prices were kind of go up and it was hard to find a 13 that guy blesses me. He
It was such a blessing this Easy's. Oh my gosh, they literally
Changed my life. I'm so thankful for these evening. You guys don't understand after working with him. He's found out more about the website
He fell in love with the website. We were then featured in the top 20 online resale websites
So then after that business was booming
We're selling a bunch of cakes making a bunch of money. Everything was going great
I was I started buying out collections all this stuff because of that single pair of Yeezys that literally
Changed the game for me in a whole new way
and now this is why sneakers are so amazing to me and why I love there's so much in the stories and I am so
Passionate about the stuff that I keep in my collection because I do have a great story for all these shoes
So that happens things are going great. Now I got some money like ooh, I want to get the black and pink Yeezys
And I need to find a way to get those but because I got scared for him. So I'm like, how can I do this?
Soul supremacy, they posted a picture on Instagram with these two easy
Size 13 these two actual pairs in my hand and I hit them first. I got so lucky
I literally seen the post on Instagram and I
Hit him like in moment. It's like and posted in I hit him
I was like, yo, I want those some father said I got it for 1,200 apiece
So it was will need 400
They sent me these in the mail and I was literally going insane
Because not only did I want these
but now I had these too so it literally just made my day just so amazing because I never thought I was gonna be able
to find these or get these in my size like find in any
Easy's in a size 13 is really really hard like trust me when I tell you this
So now I have the black and Pink's. My memories are all back. Everything is great. This is the pair still to this day
I'll be rocking these. I love this shoe this one right here. Obviously, it's a colorway that everything is insane
I'm in love with this one as well. So now that I have the back in Pink's I have the tans
I'm out of my mind easy to black your pink. So I have those two easy ones and that's it then
Somebody comes through in the clutch and they hit me up and they say have a desktop size
13
platinum easy, too
So I said how much you want for us?
I'm gonna come out there right now buy those so you saw me those in some quarters. I bought these for
$1,200 this specific pair right here my hands I got this pair for $1,200 and I was very very
Very happy about that purchase at a time. They were worth like a little over 2k and obviously now they're going for like
33.5 so great investment. Definitely. Love this shoe
And I I just I had to add these two the same wouldn't it be a desktop?
It's hard for me to rock it because of the value
I think I might be able to sell them and then find a used pair say it make some money and still
Piersol that might be my tactic for this pair after that goes by now
I have these three shoes and I'm like, what can I do next?
So now I'm online hunting and hunting in hunting and I find these the family and friends now you see the orange liner on here
usually it's kind of like orange, but the
Regular pair is kind of turned yellow and they fade over time
But the material made on the family and friends way nicer the leather the quality on these way better
So I was very excited to pick these up found knees on I would say Instagram or Facebook
I don't remember it was a while ago bought these from the dude got him from him for $1000 and I was like, hey
I gotta have these so added these to the collection very
Exciting moment for me to finally complete the easy one collection
I never thought I was gonna be able to complete this set because it's so hard to find in my size
Especially to be able to get a sample family and friends. Well, does that mean I need us don't get the gr
Release or what? Because I think these are better saw just didn't even go out to the gr
but to complete this set amazing very happy so
More time goes by and the guy that hits me up
About this pair. I
Find out that he has
This pair. Okay. So he had these in a size 13 and I'm like hey, yo, what's up? Let me get those
Let me get those and he's like nah, man. I'ma hold on to those. I'm aware
You know, I like these and I'm like, all right for sure for sure
So he wears one time and he's like he gets me up like this is a while after
And I keep kind of you know, how like you really want to shoot and you hit some Y of me like yo
What's up, like you still got those or what?
So I can't I kind of like I'm not bugging her but I'm like yo
Just just know if you ever want to get rid of those like hit me up cuz I'm trying to get those
So he hits me up and he's like yo
I got these for sale and then he sends me another picture and it's these right here
So he has the red Octobers in Soler's so mind you he sold me?
These and he had these two as well
So I got all three DS from the same exact person, right and they're all in my size size 13
so he hits me up in his eye he'll
What do you want to he like yo, what do you want to buy these four? So I told him I said look
I'll give you
3,500 and I want these and knees and that's a time
That was like a good deal, but they're worth way more now
But for these alone were selling for more than 3,500 when I bought it from right? So I'm like I'll give you 3,500
And I'm thinking like 2004 these 1,500 for these right?
These were selling for like 4k. These were selling like 5.5 K. Right? So I'm like I want to come up. Yeah, he's right
he's like nah, I need like 5,000 for both and I'm like
2500 a piece like
Dime or like 3000 2000 Israel, right, but then I'm thinking like, okay
This is still a good deal at the end of the day, right?
Because I'm gonna save some money on these like I can sell these for more than a cassetti's for more than man
I said these for the price of both of these and Hattie's for free saw my okay
I'm about to pull the trigger, right and then I'm like, oh no
Let me just counter that offer a real quick. So I said o 4k that's it. Look all I got is 4k
And I could cover bottom right now. He says
All right, man, come on boy
I
Go right into the bank pull out the money
I get to cash I come to his house and he sells me these two shoes. I'm sitting pet
I'm sitting pictures tomorrow freeze like yo, I just got the red Octobers
Look at this others like a completed the set like this is crazy breath
Like I'm going crazy and if I tell somebody like hey, I'm excited that I just spent
$4,000 on two pair of shoes. They will call me a fool, but like for me and my mind I like yes
Thank you Jesus. So
It was just one of those moments right? So now I have completed
So now I have completed the Jose and I got it all from the same exact in a massage right sliding on scammed
I didn't trade it. I didn't work to trade. I didn't spent money. I didn't waited patiently
It took me over a year before I even got the EZ - from the day that it released it
Took me almost a year
It took me for three or four years to complete the one set it took me
Two and a half years to complete the two Center
So at the end of the day what I would like to tell you guys is to be patient on the shoes that you like
And you really want to spend a lot of money off because over time you won't find them for a good deal
And you want to be able to save that dollar?
When it comes to spending money on a very expensive shoe
If you don't have it now or if you plan to collect it for the long haul
Either way, you're going to be spending
Money on the shoe and it's gonna be sitting in our collection
So if it's sitting in your collection now or if it's it in your collection later one day, you're gonna have it, right?
Why spend more money now to have the shoe when you go wait be patient
Find it for a good deal and still have it later because if you plan on keeping it, you know
It's just one of those things. That's just how I look at it. So this right here is a
historical moment for me
I've had this completed collection for like I
Wanna say like four years now or five years
I think it's like four years
Something like that and I'll wear these every once in a while very very happy to have these in my collection. Oh
My gosh yes, a lot of stuff happen from these shoes specifically right here. So in total, let's do the math real quick
I didn't spend let's see that's like 4k
1200 s that's 5.2 K right there, but I mean I'm gonna get that just for this one
So it's like it's like those things. I kind of got like two shoes for free
You know I'm saying like you get the math you kind of get where I'm coming from, right?
And then it was like the same thing on this it was like I got these for what?
1224 and then I got these for a thousand so I got these for thirty two thirty four hundred
Which was still pretty solid, right?
To find the 13 very very hard. So for me and in this condition because these are actually all real still nice
I think I think I did a good job. That's what 50 what I say. It was 30
452 so that's about eighty six hundred dollars cash. Yeah
Did I spit on these six pair of shoes?
Let's go and look at how much they're going for
Market value for new pairs and then we'll deduct some money on there just to kind of average it out so you can see
How much money I still say?
Okay. So this is a well-known website called stadium goods and we're gonna look at some sneakers on here just to see what we can
find and right now I don't even see anything in my size and after going through the website there is
nothing available in a size 13
so that goes to show
Simply how hard it is to find this shoe and looking at these prices you can see they are pretty crazy and outrageous
But this does give you a perspective on what a new pair is worth
How much you can be able to charge for a used pair that is in a good condition?
And that's basically the story to how I got these Jeezy's man. It was crazy
I
Went through a lot. I got scammed. I was hurt. I was happy like spent money lost money. It was just
it was a crazy ride and I just always wanted to tell this story and
people always ask me how I get my easy to hack out all these shoes like this is literally simply
one series of short stories that all intertwine together to make this easy one into collection
I hope you guys enjoyed this shout out to everybody that stayed around for the end of the story to find out how I got
these if you have any more questions on how I got any of my other shoes or
