Post them! Doesn’t have to be the most expensive, the most hyped, just that one pair for you that you had to have and still can’t let go of. Or one you’re still chasing.
Please keep it clean(no pics of half naked chicks. I mean that’s all cool and stuff but the last thread got locked lol). I’m assuming that was why otherwise I don’t see the harm in a grail thread?
For me it’s none other than the Jordan 21 “Red Suede” circa 2005 released December 2006.
Actually got these out the other day for a not so professional photo shoot. Lol they look just as good as the day they were unboxed. Some of the best Italian Suede you’ll ever come across. I remember my hands shaking the day I opened these up and began to inspect them. And they’ve held up so well. No signs of anything negative happening to the shoe after 13 years. My box was killed in a basement flood so if anyone has a hookup on a size 9 Box HMU.
Can’t wait to see yours!

My two favorite shoes of all time. I really can't pick the better of the two. The all time Grail I want back are the 91 black infrared original.
I have the 11’s. I also had the 91 infrared 6’s I was 10 they were the kids size but I have a pic of my nerdy self in them lol. But the 7’s you have pictured there, good lord bro. So nice.
 
My 7s and 11s actually have a connected story. Believe or not I actually purchased those 7s in 1996 at an Annex sporting goods store. That day, my Aunt and I went to the mall so I could get the Black red XI. But my dumb*** forgot my birthday money at my grandmas house. So I asked the Footlocker employee to please hold them Id be back in 20 minutes. It was their last pair. He promised. Got back to the mall 20 min later and he sold them. I was crushed.
We eventually left the mall after that and found this old sporting good store. I knew in my mind they wouldnt have the XI but we stopped anyway. And thats where I found the 7. Brand new. Its a size 11.5 and I was a size 10 at that time. I still used my money to grab them for like 70 bucks. All was good then because in 93 I had the kids version of the 7 and always wanted the adult version. I eventually wore them a few times in high school. Still today thats my oldest pair I own. Eventually got my black xi but Im glad things happened like they did. That 7 will always be my grail shoe.

My grail has got to be my first pair (I’m looking forward to them coming out in…possibly 2022?) the Raptor 7’s. I cut grass for an entire summer at $5/yard (they got a steal and I worked like a dog) to get them. Did the same thing a few years before to get an NES.

Another pair I’d like to get my hands on again, because I balled out in them in college, are the Bred 16’s. They were classy. I also had the cherrywoods. Got both for a steal back then.
