The pair that started my obssesion !

[kopnkicks]

White/Red/Black AJ IV's......my first pair as a kid I got all the colorways that dropped that year.

Still one of my favorites despite the quality issues!

I was in 6th grade when I got my pair of black Jordan Vs....then of course I had to get them when they were retroed about a decade later

I remember hating when the VIs came out the next year and MJ wore them in the Finals....I hated the design cuz I loved my Vs so much




the rest was history for me

1st shoe that I remember that I just HAD to have was the Penny II when i was in sixth grade. Then shortly after that I saw the Air More Uptempo's and HAD to have them too. It was all downhill from there. My parents were already buyin me J's n Nike's but they were just shoes to me then. Nothin special

Nice thread OP.
There were SO many for me,but the ones that stand
out in my mind the most are the Flight Huarache,Huarache Trainer and the SC Trainer (wht/grey/orange of course).

the jordan 11 black and red. i was in high school i think about 2003 . it started everything for me for sneakers. and through sneakers i found niketalk. and through niketalk. fashion became everything to me. so yea thats my history with that. i thought after the years i would eventually not worry about sneakers or anything for that matter but i still get excited when i hear about a new pair sneakers or buy some for that matter.

It's tough... trying to single it down to just one pair but so difficult. Would have to say Nike Air Trainer Hi, (the takedown Bo Jackson SC lower tier model) for $100 back in grade 9, back in 1988

Went across the border to do some shopping for HS gym gear & pleading with my parents for a pair of Nike Airs... ended up with that pair & still remember my Mom asking in Foot Locker "Why are we spending $100 on a pair of zapatos you are going to ruin in gym class?"

Which I proceeded to do & wear until the shoes cracked at the flex point on the soles.... great memories rocking those.

After came the Air Flight 89s' (the OGs), Air Raids, etc.... Never could afford Jordans or more luxe Air Maxes til I got older & could buy my own kicks with job money

My pops always tells the story of when he bought me Jordan ii's and I was in tears and I remember getting air raids and a slew of af1's which I'd say started it for me....but the shoe I had to have...Grant Hill I's...was sooooooo thirsty for them

For me it was definitely the black Nike Air Zoom Turf aka Barry Sanders sig shoe back in '96. It was the first shoe I actually had to hunt for and it felt like I'd struck gold when I finally had them in my possession. That feeling plus all the attention I got when I rocked em to school the next day sealed the deal for me.

For me its the Jordan XI Concords. I've never seen anything like it before. I remember I was in 4th grade when it first came out and a couple of older kids in my school bus had them.
