Where To Buy Yeezys In Australia?

It's no secret that purchasing a pair of Yeezys in Australia can be quite difficult.

Pairs such as the Yeezy 350 V2 'Bones' are hard to find at retail. The live listing shows the current price.

Compared to the US, it is really difficult to buy a pair of Yeezys in Australia.

In the US, there are a multitude of sneaker platforms, as well as brick and mortar stores that have an abundance of stock.

Even if you missed out retail, there is a number of safe and reliable avenues that you can pursue to find your pair.

In Australia, there are only a few avenues that you can take if you want to buy Yeezys: Retail, Facebook Groups, Consignment Stores, Overseas Sites & PUSHAS.

Retail Yeezys In Australia

The first way to buy Yeezys in Australia is through Retail.

Whether you are purchasing from Adidas AU or other stores that wholesale straight from the factory, this would be your best bet to purchase Yeezys at retail.

The only drawback is that you will waste a lot of time lining up on release date at stores. Even if you purchase online, you will still have to waste time "camping" on the website for your pair.

From an economics perspective, there is a notion of Opportunity Cost. If you get paid $30 an hour and you spent 3 hours trying to cop a pair, that is already a net loss of $90. Time is money, especially in the business of Sneakers.

You might get lucky and you might be able to secure your pair. However, Yeezys are still hyped in Australia. Therefore, it is likely that you may waste a lot of time, and still miss out on purchasing Yeezys.

If you're bothered, you may even go to these stores and purchase off someone who managed to buy.

Retail is still the best way to cop Yeezys in Australia, even with all the drawbacks mentioned.

Facebook Groups / Online Classifieds

The next way to buy Yeezys in Australia is through Facebook Groups or online classifieds.

Both Facebook Groups and online classifieds require you to buy Yeezys off an individual seller. Most of the time, the people on Facebook Groups are people who bought Yeezys at retail, and are now trying to sell them on.

There are many notable Facebook Groups in Australia, namely The Kickz Stand, Underground Society, SneakersAU etc.

Facebook Groups & online classifieds are a very great way to buy Yeezys in Australia if you know what you are doing.

The only issues are that finding the right pair in the right size in the right condition may take a long time. You may also be exposed to scammers who may deliver fakes to you.

We have seen cases where a buyer has sent the seller money and the seller disappeared.

For a buyer who is not up to date with the latest sneakers, and fakes being produced, this could be a daunting experience.

Make sure that you trust the person you are buying from. We recommend you ask for reference from Admins or Mods or other members of the group you trust.

Even then, it is not entirely safe.

However, if you know what you are doing you may find the pair you are after.

Brick and Mortar Consignment Stores

Yeezy hype in Australia has seen a lot of new sneaker consignment stores open in the past 24 months across Australia.

Consignment stores have their place in the sneaker ecosystem in Australia.

Generally, they are very convenient as you are able to pop down to their store to buy your Yeezys. At the time of this piece, there is at least one big consignment store at every capital city in Australia.

Staff are generally helpful as you are able to speak to them in person. You are also able to see the Yeezys in person. This is great, as sometimes photos online and on Instagram may be misleading.

You might not like what the Yeezy looks like in person. It may be easier for you to compare the different Yeezy colourways if you have the pair in hand.

Most consignment stores are located in the CBD of each respective capital city.

The customers of consignment stores value convenience, which is why we will always see brick and mortar sneaker stores available in Australia for Yeezys.

Buying From Overseas Websites

There are many websites available that you can buy Yeezys from if you live in Australia.

Australians have access to a range of overseas retail sites and marketplaces. These websites are great to purchase Yeezys, especially as it allows you to have access to the stock that is available to sneakerheads in the US and worldwide.

No matter what Yeezy you are searching for, you will be able to purchase them from these websites. There is usually an Authenticity Guarantee as well so you may buy your Yeezys and get them shipped to Australia knowing they are genuine.

The only drawbacks are Shipping, Currency Conversion, and GST. The Australian government now charges 10% GST on all overseas purchases.

On top of that, shipping usually takes anywhere from 2-5 weeks from overseas marketplaces. Most of these platforms need to get sneakers from the seller shipped. It is only then that the sneakers get authenticated and shipped to you.

This process can be quite long if you are unlucky.

Buying From PUSHAS

PUSHAS is a global sneaker marketplace based in Sydney.

Although we are obviously biased, we believe that PUSHAS is the best way to buy Yeezys in Australia. PUSHAS has AfterPay which can be used on sneakers up $1,000 depending on your AfterPay history.

We also provide 1-3 business day shipping for sneakerheads on the east coast including Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Other states are 1-5 business days.

You may also buy your yeezys knowing that transactions are safe as we use only trusted payment gateways such as PayPal and AfterPay.

PUSHAS also provides an Authenticity Guarantee, which means if your pair is fake, you will get your money back. We pride ourselves on our amazing customer service, which is a Sydney based team.

You know that every chat message, email or phone call is from a local PUSHAS team member.

We will be transparent though, there are still challenges with buying from PUSHAS. Sometimes, there is not enough sizes available for Yeezys. We have limited supply and therefore some sizes are prone to selling out very quickly.

It is not uncommon for Yeezys and other sneakers to be restocked with a few pairs per size and then be sold out within a matter of minutes.
