For the beginning of 2017, Adidas is releasing their first Yeezy Boost, the Yeezy 350 V2 Core Black Shoe, this Saturday, February 11th! Is is available in adult and infant sizing. Kanye was seen in these back in September, and as all Yeezy releases, this will be a very hyped-up release!

• Primeknit Uppers 
• BOOST Sole Unit
• Ergonomic Sockliner
• ‘SPLY-350’ Branding
• Textured Outsole
• Style Code: CP9652
Here are my best tips to help you secure that W for the release this Saturday! First off, if you have a little money to invest, would like to increase your chances, and are interested in the bot route, I would recommend checking out Heated Sneaks Colossal Botpack, which you can find a full review of here.

2) Adidas.com and in-store raffles will give you significantly better chances trying to cop the Yeezy 350 V2 Core Black for retail than any other place that carries Yeezys. Personally, I don’t even waste my time staying up all night trying all of the other sites, which get eaten up instantly by bots/backdooring. I’ve spent multiple nights up all night trying to cop off PacSun, Barneys, Oki-Ni, etc. And, let me tell you, that the next day with no sleep and no W’s is not a good day.
3) If you do get lucky, and get through the queue system on Adidas.com, then this tip could make the difference between taking your 100th L, and taking your first W. If you can get to the payment info page manually, then PAY WITH PAYPAL, you will be redirected to PayPal where you can finish the transaction, and confirm your order without worrying about Adidas website crashing any second. I can’t emphasize this one enough. PayPal is your go to for Adidas.com for this Yeezy 350 V2 Core Black drop!
4) Your internet plays a part in your chances to secure a pair. If you have internet on the slower side, I recommend either getting a proxy, or finding a place before the drop that has pretty fast internet. Go to your local library for the Adidas online drop, or hit up a Starbucks near you. Also, close down other tabs/open things that may be slowing down your computer or internet speed. Do not download big files onto your computer, or stream Netflix while you wait for the queue, as this can slow down your internet substantially.
5) If you end up on Adidas.com and the queue system does just keep spinning, and you do take another L, keep in mind as hyped as these shoes are, at the end of the day, it’s just a pair of shoes. There’s always the next drop too. Since the majority of what it takes to secure a pair of Yeezys for retail is luck, you could potentially just randomly catch a W on the next drop. The next drop is rumored for around February 25th!
