The Yeezy Boost 750 Grey/Gum is So Limited it’s Already Reselling for $2,500

Kanye West has 23.3M followers on Twitter and his Tweets are retweeted an average of 4k times. His wife, Kim Kardashian, has 45.9 followers on Twitter and is retweeted an average of 5.5k times per Tweet. So what does this mean for people who are trying to get their hands on a pair of adidas Yeezy Boost 750’s? Well, it means you better have the plug or you’re screwed. Here’s how the math breaks down if only 10% of their Twitter followers want to get a pair of adidas Yeezy Boost 750’s.

Kanye West: 23.3M Followers = 2.3M people trying to get a pair.

Kim Kardashian: 45.9M followers = 4.5M people trying to get a pair.

Total: 6.8M people trying to get a pair of adidas Yeezy Boost 750’s Grey/Gum.

The chances of getting 1 pair: 3.6% globally

How did we get 3.6%? Lets say (respectfully) adidas makes 250,000 pairs of shoes (which is a high guesstimate) to be sold around the world in various retailers and online. You divide 6,800,000 (10% of Twitter followers) x 3.6% and get 244,800 pairs! The numbers above don’t even take into account the thousands of people around the world who don’t follow Kanye on Twitter, if you factor in those estimates that percentage becomes more like 1.5%.

The rarity of this shoe is putting the resell market into overdrive with early pairs selling for $2,000 – $2,500 each.

To put it in perspective you have a higher chance of winning the NYC Cash For Life scratch off game before getting a pair of these shoes.

It looks like a lot of people will be seeing this screen on their adidas Confirmed app …
