As you can imagine, adidas Director of Entertainment\u00a0& Influencer\u00a0Marketing Jon Wexler’s phone is on fire whenever there’s a new adidas Yeezy Boost release about to launch.<\/p>\n

It’s hard not to notice the constant asks on his @Wex1200 Twitter<\/a> or Instagram<\/a> accounts, but just how relentless are people in bugging Jon for pairs?<\/p>\n

During my recent hour-long conversation with Wex, I couldn’t help but ask.<\/p>\n

“I got like 72,000 emails in February for the first launch,” he laughs. “I just stopped reading emails, and the only way that people could get ahold of me was text or phone. It\u2019s crazy. That\u2019s just email.<\/em> [laughs] The Twitter stuff is just impossible to even keep up.”<\/p>\n

Not only have the requests been completely out of control to manage, Wexler has also received several sly attempts to con pairs of Yeezys.<\/p>\n

“People have gone to such lengths,” Jon reveals. “I got an email from someone fake, and they had created four different Cortez Bryant email accounts. Cortez Bryant manages Lil Wayne, and a bunch of other artists. They\u2019re like ‘Dear Jon, I want to get some of these shoes for Lil Wayne. I need 3 pairs in this size. Please send them to this address.’ [His deal with] Maverick had just been announced, and he cc\u2019d a new Maverick email account and everything. I was like, ‘Wow, people are getting really creative<\/em>.'”<\/p>\n

Given the energy that the Yeezy series has brought adidas all of last year, it’s perhaps one of those good problems to have.<\/p>\n
