I remember the days when I would read the same eastbay catalogs over and over on the toilet everyday and just look at the shoes I want.

how about the kids who use to get the sneakers because of the player (childhood idol)? Not just because it was the cool thing to wear
penny and griffey nike commercials
dee brown reebok pumps (in first grade i would pump up my sneakers thinking i would be a better basketball player )
getting a pair of space jams at footlocker three days after release date in 2000...no lines, no wait...just walk in
Nothing last forever....once it hits the mainstream and commercialization takes over, it's a wrap.
All you have left is memories and nostalgia.....It won't ever be the same, some were in it for the love....others for the money.
I was fortunate to grow up in the 90's and watch Mike play and experience the "golden era." It's pathetic these days.
I am not sure where you are from, but when I was growing up we would refer to them by the year. It wasn't until I became a member here back in 2000 that I first heard them referred to by roman numerals.Back then when the OGs were known simply as "Air Jordan" or the "new air jordans" when they first released and last years were called "last years air jordan" or the "old air jordans". No nicknames or numbers or roman numerals attached to it
why are people so mad though? I mean why can't people just buy kicks because they look good or if they are popular?
Of course they can, it just gets annoying when dudes come through trying to front and hype things up. Its all good though, not that big a deal

exactly $39 on clearanceIt is kinda funny how much hype Olive 9's get
Nobody gave a damn about them back then
That feeling of when you put on a new pari of kicks and actually believed they could make you run faster, jump higher and improve your game.
These new kids don't know nothing about that.
I used to always rock my kicks out of the store.... Throw the old ones in the box and be out. I'm doing it when I pick up my XI's this year.

Boy Scout Jordans, LOL. They used to used them as casual shoes here, lol.Having the Olive's around my way was like having the Team J's...
You just had em cuz they were Jordans
****** called them ***** 'boy scout jordans'
Scored them Laneys for $60 back in May 2000 tho... and another pair in August for $40
I remember walking by the French 7's when they came out multiple times at the mall for several weeks ( salem, NH ) and then finnaly decided to cop em .
i completly forgot i bought them and sat in my closet until summer of 2010 . When i found them buried in the back of my closet , next to my empty video game boxes i jumped up with excitement lol DS with the original box , retro card and reciept !
How times have changed . i used to by them just to match them with a shirt or something , now there more of a " statement " smh .
One of the best feelings was moms checking me out of school on release day and me showing back up around lunch with the "new J's". The nostalgia is whats missing with the younger cats, there is no emotional connection with the shoes. Some of those old jordan commercials still make me smile. (XII's commercial damn near brought a tear to my eye)
