Over the past 10+ years I have grown extremely frustratedwith the amounts of fakes and low quality retro’s so much to the point where Ihave taken myself out of collector realm and retired from the shoe game with nohard feelings. I am what I like to call a memory purchaser when it come to Jay’s,I only buy the Jay’s I have a fond memory of them. WhatI have noticed since my retirement lol is the increased amounts of re-sellers andretro kings. We all know what re-sellers are but retro kings are what get underskin, these guys and gals are the 20 and under crew who came along during theretro era and don’t even remember the best Jordan days. They just go buy eachnumber in each color in multiple pairs and call it collecting.Some out there know what I’m talking about and others don’t, so I pose thequestion to all (good, bad or indifferent), can you call yourself a collectorespecially of Jordan’s if you never purchased a pair of his shoes during hisprime when it had a different meaning?
