Ignorance is bliss

Ironic

I stopped reading this foolishness right here. Man I'm white af and grew up in Alabama. I was 12 in 1990. My mother stood in line at Champs the night of the release bc my bday was the next day. The next day I was the only kid in school with the Metallic 5's on. People were interrupting my class to see them. So maybe in your area y'all slept but MJ was a thing by 88 in most of the country. Mars Blackmon and the 4's were like the biggest commerical of 1989. Stop with this foolishness that it was black thing until 1992. That's just wrong.

Yea, as another white person who was 12 in 1990 i can confirm. I’m born and raised in Los Angeles and everyone was wearing J’s: whites, blacks, Asians, Latinos. You name it. It def was not a black thing only. If anything, folks who wore expensive sneakers back then (or didn’t) were divided by CLASS, not race.

He started playing in the 80s? I had no idea. Cmon now

If you read my post I said he was a global superstar in the 90s, meaning the peak of his popularity was in the 90s. He was already huge on the late 80s but nothing like the 90s

When did the 3's and 4's come out?

Seriously smh…what came to my mind with all this demographic talk

 

[headdetective]

Also sneaker culture is black culture.

Don't do this.

Expound, please.

I think the hoarding, which I'm guilty of now, too, is what's really different. That and social media for likes and the internet in general. and not wearing your shoes. But even in 8th grade, my rotation was 15+ pairs deep. Between Jordan's, Cortez's, Flight '89s, Air Max etc

Which one of these elephant prints do you think is preferred?

 

[Tony86]

Wonder how these conversations would sound if MJ was white. Yeah I said it, white.

Now everyone can’t unsee this atrociousness

 

[fahqu001]

Which one of these elephant prints do you think is preferred?

If they're a 9.5, then none. Sell them to me and discounted rate because they're B Grades lol

 

[getback]

Which one of these elephant prints do you think is preferred?

Whichever the preferrer prefers

Bottom, I wish my pair looked like that. Mine looks like the top.

Whites select: Michael Jordan

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

Which one of these elephant prints do you think is preferred?

Personal preference of course, but bottom one for me.

 

[witnesskb24]

When did the 3's and 4's come out?

That has what to do with him being at the peak of his popularity in the 90s?

I already said he was huge in the late 80s, you don’t think white people were wearing 3s and 4s?

Some of y’all must’ve lived under a rock and think because something was one way in your area it was the same everywhere

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

The Air Jordan 1 was a smash hit. They sold a ton of pairs. The only reason why they went on sale was because they also produced a ton of pairs and sold them in places you don’t even see them sold now. They were in all kinds of department stores, mom and pop stores, and the larger chains too. I grew up during that time and Jordan was already a superstar as a rookie.

They looked just like the '85 retros too.

Bottom, because thats the closest to elephant skin. Also its a bit more subtle.

 

[getback]

Weird debate, but I remember when Doogie and Fred Savage wearing 3s and 4s way back when they came out.
