What is the main reason why hundreds are queuing up for this sneaker? It is limited edition sneaker and the resell value is over RM 2,000!! So for each pair, they can make more than RM 1,000! Now, you understand why there are people willing to queue for over 10 hours just to get the chance to purchase the sneaker. Yes, the people queuing up that day is just to register their name and only a handful of people will be selected to purchase the sneaker. This means out of hundreds of people queuing up for the sneaker, only dozens of people will get to purchase the shoe. Thus, there are limited pairs of sneakers on selected sizes. You might be able to purchase Adidas Originals YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 Live Raffle but you might not get your own size.
We spoke to a few college students recently and it is a trend for them to queue up to stand a chance to purchase the sneaker and resell it for side income. However, they do keep it if they find the right size.
We heard that Adidas Originals YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 Live Raffle Zebra version will be releasing on 25th February 2017 so there will be another queuing up session soon.
Please take note that you can find people queueing for Adidas Originals YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 Live Raffle in the participating Adidas outlets around the world and not just Malaysia or Singapore or in Asia.
