My collection

[scotballer]

Started playing basketball in 1996 and my first pair were the Nike Air Money.
Had the Nike Zoom Vroomlicious, Nike Air Flight Perception, Nike Shox BB4 and Adidas Kobe 1 during high school days. Got loads more during college/university in early to mid 2000s (not easy living in Scotland) including Ultraposites, Shox Stunner, Huarache 2k4 and worked at Footlocker.
Had a serious knee injury and not really played much since 2005 but still kept buying although many haven't survived moving around the UK. Doubled up on the first games Nike Generation from 2003 and got one pair unworn in original box with "retro" card but all others have been worn.
Will post some photos of the rarer ones and any requests. Hope you enjoy!

Dope ****. That mid 2000s era of nike basketball is what got me into sneakers when I was a 10 year old kid. What was your favorite shoe for performance?

I was in my twenties during mid 2000s (born in 1984).
My favourite pair was the zoom bb1 - I only have the JKidd pair left now but had the Ben Gordon pair (pictured) as well as the regular white with patent toe, black suede , black pinstripe and obsidian with gum sole.
I remember the Nike Turbine, Zoom Drive and 2K3 all being solid performers too and wish I still had them!

I did also own the "white" (closer to cream) with carolina blue accents colourway too.

Here are the flightposite 2s
This is the retro pair from 2019 I got from StockX which then appeared at nearby Nike Clearance Store for very cheap!
I did have the navy/black pair with silver swoosh back in the day.

Hyperflight and Ultraflight
I remember Prof K's negative review on Kicksology of the Hyperflight and was titled "Less is less".
The Ultraflight were too narrow for me to play in but very comfortable for casual use and still very aesthetically pleasing.

Hard to believe its been 20 years since the Lebron line started.
Now that the retros are in full swing I've decided to buy just one pair of each number from 1 to 9 (excluding 5 and 6) and in a non OG colourway.
Also only buying if on sale as all these were less than an $100 each with the 2 and 3 being only $60 each!

 

[scotballer]

Managed to get the Lebron 9 for $20
I would like grey and/or purple AZG as I have the OG "First game" but no retros yet. The 4s aren't retros either but not a general release - maybe get the fruity pebbles if I'm to continue to get retros in non OG colourways.
Never had the 5s and I had the 6s but gave them away as few years ago

 

[scotballer]

Managed to pick up purple AZGs for 70% off.

Just a pair of retro 4 in non OG colourway to get - do Graffitis count since they were so limited before or does it have to be the Fruity Pebbles or Eggplants
