Today marked the re-release of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 "Pirate Black," and as expected, a majority of the sneaker community spent their mornings attempting to cop. And once again, many were left disappointed. If you were amongst the many that were left empty-handed, don't be surprised. One retailer shared some information showing just how difficult it was for its fans to secure a pair of its Yeezys.
Sweden's Sneakersnstuff took to Instagram to let its customers know that its raffles for the latest Yeezys was over and to thank them for their participation. In the message, SNS also shared the total number of pairs it received along with how it allocated the pairs to its brick-and-mortar locations in Paris, Stockholm, and London along with its online shop. In total, SNS received 18,860 raffle entries for its 210 pairs leaving its fans with roughly a one in 90 chance of winning.
The odds are significantly better than winning a traditional lottery. But don't tell that to the folks that missed out. If you caught an L this morning, there's always the next release.
