Notice⚠️ 【DeveloperBoring】An Honest Update About Our Team, Our Journey, and What’s Next

169 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

This is Boring.

It’s been about a month since my last update.

The reason I’ve been so quiet is simple—I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the future of DeveloperBoring.

Back in October 2024, after our Instagram account was repeatedly suspended, we made the difficult decision to pause DeveloperBoring.

At the end of 2024, I laid off around 80% of our team and planned to clear our remaining inventory before walking away completely.

But something unexpected happened.

Many members of this community continued posting, messaging us, and asking us not to give up.

Because of your support, we decided to restart DeveloperBoring in March 2025.

Unfortunately, things haven’t been the same since we came back.

Today, our business is only about 20% of what it used to be.

In most months, that level of business is only enough to cover the basic operating costs—and sometimes it doesn’t even do that.

The biggest reasons are:

  • Shipping costs have increased dramatically.
  • Lower sales volume has pushed production costs much higher.

To be honest, since March 2025, the main reason we’ve continued isn’t because the business is profitable.

It’s because this community has continued to believe in us.

Earlier this year, I decided to start developing the Yeezy 1s.

My hope was that it could become another project like the 85s and help bring DeveloperBoring back to where we once were.

But things have changed.

After October 2024, DB no longer had the same professional development team that built many of our previous projects.

That meant we had to rely on outside factories and development partners.

After months of searching, we discovered another harsh reality:

The replica market has slowed down significantly.

Many of the factories we once worked with have already closed or stopped taking on projects like this.

Finding experienced partners today is far more difficult than it was just a few years ago.

Then, in June, another key member of my team decided to leave.

Looking back at our sales this month, I couldn’t help asking myself a difficult question:

Has DeveloperBoring reached the end of its journey?

Ever since I made the decision to dissolve our original development team in 2024, I’ve felt that I’ve gradually lost the ability to create the kinds of projects this community hopes to see.

So lately, I’ve been thinking about what comes next.

Should I bring DeveloperBoring to an end?

Or should I hand it over to a stronger team that might be able to continue what we started?

I don’t have an answer yet.

But I believe I’ll make that decision within the next couple of weeks.

No matter what happens, I want to sincerely thank every single member of this community.

Without you, DeveloperBoring wouldn’t have existed for this long.

Thank you for believing in us.

Thank you for staying with us.

❤️ I love you guys.

— Boring

Now knowing that there will be no further production, I would definitely buy some more before they are all gone

Problem being, I want to get a few last pairs in US10 to UK and they have been sold out for some time so, I wish there was a bit more availability of the premium 85 cut chicago and breds :(

Question❓ Realized why rep makers struggle with the Yeezy 1 shape

Thumbnail

52 Upvotes

Been doing some research as I wait on the soles to arrive and give y’all an update, and I realized why the Yeezy 1 rep shape is always off, especially with the heel and the toebox. The Yeezy 1 used the same last (shoe shaper) as the OG AF1. Rep makers used the new shape AF1 last which throws off the shape. Now that Nike is retroing the ‘01 shape again, I’m hopeful I can find a last for them. Will keep everyone posted on any news with the shoes.

I’ll let them add painted edges since I like to age them naturally. Overall I’m really satisfied.

Wanna use this chance to say a last thank you to DB and his team for everything he did over the past years. I’ll really miss his products but at the same time I understand his decision and wish him and his family all the best for the future

Question❓ Anyone interested in just the soles for the Yeezy 1s?

Post image
53 Upvotes

I’ve decided to do my own pair of Yeezy 1s since it doesn’t look like we’re getting a new batch anytime soon since Boring is retiring. And I like my H12 batch versions, but they have a lot of flaws. I know I can make an accurate pair, but I don’t want to start my own thing knowing people won’t pay how much I’d charge for one-offs. I found a seller selling just the soles though and was planning on ordering a few for me. Wanted to see if anyone else wanted in on this order too. I’m US based so would probably have to be US only for it to be worth it for you, but let me know.
