With the increasing popularity of the shoe game, I've grown to miss fellow heads talking about why their shoes are important/special to them. I get that not every pair has meaning but I know we all have a few releases in a year that really mean something to us. I'll start it off:
Fav pick-up of 2012 is the retro X Chicago. I originally passed on them as I'm not the hugest X fan. But one day my dad stopped by with them. He said he was at the mall and saw "Jordans" on the shelf. Having heard me complain about the difficulty of acquiring new releases he thought he had stumbled upon a miracle event and bought them for me. He was so pumped to take them out and show me the records on the sole and how they were "Chicago Bulls colors because that's the team he played on". They went from a pass to insta-favorite in that moment. He has never done this before, and has even said that collecting shoes is dumb so I know that he really put a ton of thought into that buy.
