How could you not know about Air Jordans if you were watching the games? The commercials for them aired every break almost lol.

9th grade
Same here...9th grade. I remember convincing my cousins to walk w/ me to the mall...in the snow (lived in Sandusky, OH at the time) to grab a pair that I begged the manager at FinishLine to hold for me. Probably a good 3 mile walk..which isn't too bad, but multiplied when done in the cold and in deep snow!
I was 11, my mom copped me the Breds (she was living in the US). I was living in the Caribbean at the time so Jordans did come out until like 6 months later and would cost like $600. I was breaking necks were ever I wentOriginally Posted by Josh311

I was also in the 9th grade and there was no way my parents were gonna cop me $200 pair of shoes (yes they were about $200 even then here in Canada......thats when our dollar was worth $0.68 USD)
I got the Pippen Air Max Uptempo's off the clearance rack insteadalso a great shoe tho

The original release date of the concords was Nov 26 95.... I believe the Columbias came out in Jan 96 and the Blk Red in March, Blk IE low in May while the Bulls were in the playoffs (MJ debuted them against the Knicks) and the Wht Grey Cobalt IE low in July 96.....

'95 I was in middle school. I remember the XI release because my older cousin had gotten them. I remember I wanted em real bad and begged my moms to get em for me but she hated them, she called em astronaut boots. But eventually she gave in and we went to pick up a pair but they had already sold. So I ended up getting the black/red few months later.

I would rather wait and try to get them on release date and if not then just pay the cost to get a pair but with this being a GR it wont be much more than retail. Post pictures of the already yellowing mesh when you guys get them LoL!!!
