Why is the Black Bip Bop Borealis $45 more than a regular one? It costs $185 for a BBB. Am I missing something here? ---

Why do people buy Yeezys? It’s just a very limited edition and highly collectible. CLYW only ever makes one run with BBB in very limited quantities, and then it is never reproduced again on that model. ---

Sure, his personality is pretty off-putting, but his creative output in his music is legendary. Any way, yeah, regardless of how you feel about Yeezy Boost 350s, they’re made in small quantities every run. That’s how Chris does the Black Bip Bops. I didn’t know it was only ten, though. Damn. Gonna try harder next time to get one for the next new model. ---

I’m surprised more people didn’t freak out over the space dragon scouts since only 8 were made. Don’t personally love the BBB colorway, but I get it. Honestly I enjoy the fact some colorway are a lot more rare than others. Just makes it fun. Also love Kanye and how his publicity stunts have even landed him with hate coming from a yoyo forum. ---

I don’t think it has to do with scarcity. They are just a lot more work than their other anno options. For every color there is another annodizing step. It’s just a lot more time consuming. ---

Every Easter, at my house, we do this. We dip the eggs in one color, put wax over it, then put it in a slightly darker color, and repeat the process. It’s really not too hard, just time consuming.

> [@Panda\_Monium](#): > > He made college dropout! The man can do no wrong after that album I’m glad somebody brought it up before I got frustrated. The College Dropout is an absolute classic in hip hop. (Can anyone learn to separate the personality from the music? He wasn’t even a jerk back then.) Not to mention Late Registration and Graduation, but if you’re a hip hop fan and you’re just not a fan of Kanye after trying him out, I understand that. It’s like if you’re into rock music and you tell me you just don’t feel Led Zeppelin or the Beatles. It happens. He does deserve some respect from back when College Dropout was released, as the gospel music influence and sampling was a very different and very new thing at the time (2004). Eminem’s peak stardom was just beginning to die down after Encore didn’t live up to the hype and kinda gave way for Kanye to come up after building himself from producing 90% of The Blueprint for Jay Z; Renegade was produced by Eminem. (And that’s the last I’ll say about it. Sorry mods for getting out of hand with it. I love hip hop a lot. My bad.) But to stay on topic, how is everyone feeling about their Borealis? I’m still mixed about it but it’s very much growing on me. Like, on the bind back to my hand, it’s not the most comfortable compared to my Chief. Maybe it’s because it’s heavier or feels heavier than a Chief? Not too sure. Otherwise, it plays fantastic! Mine is ridiculously smooth. Perhaps, I’m just a little more biased towards organic shapes and any V or H shapes with an organic curve. Any thoughts on the yoyo?
