If you want things done you have to take matters into your own hands. Through Change.com a sneaker head by the name of Dwayne Gates Jr. has decided to make a petition which calls for Nike to release the highly coveted Nike Air Yeezy 2 as a general release. As many of us should be aware of by now the Yeezy line (nike, adidas) causes mass pandemonium resulting in people going to great lengths trying to get a pair of the beloved sneakers. While the Yeezy 2 has seen the release of three colorways, the ‘Red October’ being the general fan favorite, Mr. Gates feels Nike should release this shoe as a general release to allow everyone to get a pair.
Here is what he had to say in the description of his Change.com petition;
Sneakerheads have been killed over these shoes, gone into debt, have killed for these, robbed for these, bought fake versions of them, been robbed for them etc. How long must this occur. Nike can easily just produce a mass amount in each color (platinum, solar red, red October) and solve this problem. It will also help Kanye West who’s been upset about how Nike wouldn’t give him royalties on his shoe deal or how they wouldn’t make his shoe a mass general release. We’ll take one of the two requests. Please sign this petition and help bring awareness to Nike.
Believe it or not Dwayne is close to almost 10K signatures so head on over to Change.com if you share the same beliefs!
