I've owned these shoes since around Christmas 2006, they were a great cop then and now.
Too bad they have fallen apart on me, their reign is over. RIP old friend.
I busted these babies out yesterday and wore them for the first time in several years.
I remember buying them in April, 1998 on a trip to England. These "suedes" retros were hard to find in the USA at the time, very hard, but they had remained popular in Europe. The date on the tag below has a...
I went out to my storage area to check on some of my older AJ retros, and to my dismay found that my AJ 6 white/university blues had suffered some kind of foam-rot and had to be disposed of.
I recall buying these shoes sometime in mid-2002 when they were released, I think in tandem with a...
Wore these kicks for the first time in a few years today and guess what, the heels fell off as i was coming back through the door.
I bought these in March, 2002 so almost 16 years old. Like many back then, I had a cobbler paint the olive part black, and he did a real fine job. The paint lasted...

Additionally, the celebratory pack includes the AJ1 SW collaboration, complete with Serena’s personal logo on the tongue and heel.
Was going to post this tribute on the "retro" forum then I realized these are OGs, LOL.
I bought these shoes in September of 1996 at a Finish Line at University Square Mall in Tampa, and they are still going strong 20 years later. I wore them as recently as last month. Lots of water under the...
Last Monday morning I drove out to my local Champ's to line up for the XI Lows that just dropped, as they were giving out guaranteed tickets. When I showed up I was fourth in line. Two of the people ahead of me were a middle-aged woman (I'm middle-aged myself) and her twenty-ish son. It was...
These Blue Suede Shoes date from the Bill Clinton Administration, I remember buying them in June, 1998 and the tag says they were made February 4 of that year. They looked fantastic out of the box and for many years thereafter, but as the suede got dirty and faded, they became a workout and...
I'm growing so old, hard to believe it's been this long. I remember Biggie was killed right about the time the OG Black/Varsity Red 12s came out. I remember getting those around that time...
Reached into my closet for the first time in a few months to wear these old white/black/red AM 95s that I bought in June of 1998, and to my dismay the soles were peeling back from the heels. Will miss this old friend from the first batch of AM 95s 'retro'd' during 1997-1998.
These are my Rodman shoes from back in the day. Most are 15 years old, with production dates ranging from November 1995 to February 1996. I got them all back then. Exceptions:
The "Steelers" patent Shakes (pic 1) and black patent Shakes (pic 7) are Euro-exclusives, i got them in Scotland in...
By which i mean just regular releases of the classic retro Jordan shoes, I - whatever. Sure, make them in new color combos if you want, just as long as theyare the actual model Jordan wore back in the day.
Instead, we get an endless blizzard of "fusions", "six rings", and other useless mash-ups...
