The long rumoured and previewed adidas x Dragon Ball Z collection makes it’s debut this weekend with the initial release that features Frieza’s Yung-1 and Son Goku’s ZX500.

The rumoured stock of  “1,000 units” worldwide is false. With that said, these were still not produced at a large quantity. All indications on our end point to this being a limited release.

The problem at hand is adidas and boutiques did not think these would sell well enough at high quantity production. We’re told that when orders for production were placed the numbers requested were low. This presented a poor forecast for adidas as the feedback they received from retailers was bad.

This is clearly a mistake on everyones part for the initial two releases. The Frieza and Son Goku editions are easily two of the best in the entire collection and will likely be the most in demand. The rest of the collection may be properly stocked because they won’t be as sought after. We highly recommend entering worldwide raffles.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
