-Espos, drove all the way from Seattle to San Fran for these, only did a 10 hour camp out...(So short nowadays), and actually met a NT'r who i dind'tknow at the time, but am pretty good friends with today for hte 1st and only time ever....the MOST randomest thing is when i was in line, a classmate fromseattle walked passed me....not a shoe head at all, but his friends dragged him down, so random seeing him there, and then monday in class lol
-Mambas, i figured these were going to be the only KOBE HD's to release, besides the OLY 10 pair....guess i was wrong, still a very sick shoe, got theposter from the NT'r i mentioned in the espo line
-Concord XIs, DS set, my favorite jordan xi, and top 3 jordan ever. Love how they look when they are DS, i've owned about 5 pairs to this date of concords,and they've all yellowed on me, so i keep this set DS....well sorta, i wore them when i got married for about 2 hours....but that's it i swear!

-Nike Vis Sweet TB, This was the HOH release, when there was LITERALLY only 24 pairs per release. They came out with the black set as well, fellow NT'rMELONHEAD picked these up for me that morning, thanks again1. A couple of weeks later, there was a meet and greet with Durant, so i took my shoes there, andhad them signed. He was like "how'd you get these?" telling his managers, "this is the same shoe i'm wearing right now on thecourts" I wound up playing this quick NCAA tourny they had, and beat everybody, and wound up playign him on NCAA 2k8...me vs durant one on one....and igot smashed, but he was cheap, and i am a NBA2k fan anyway....good times! They gave me a auto'd Swingman jersey......i shoulda took the NBA ball but ohwell

blazer sb- good colorway, the laces are from the zoom kobe iv inlines
trainer sb- found them at an outlet, would you say no to 40$? lol
dunk hi sb- unfuturas, i think this colorway is VERY nice, at first i said no to them because i had the futuras, but it hit me that these were pretty damnnice, and the materials used was pretty good for current day nike sb....thanks to an iss'r for em
dunk hi sb-"venoms" eh....bad name for em, but i like em cuz they're just simple and you can't not match wearing these with anything,didn't hurt that they were 15% off when i bought them as well....
blazer sb-azures, just got caught in the hype honestly, lol. they're still ds my wife's pair gets more play then these
prod-tinker "j rod", this is the THIRD set i've bought....ughhhh the very first set, sincereone03 hooked it up with during the whole xgamesthingy. it was a sz 9, loved them rocked them, left them in the car in a "bad neighborhood" we'll say, and needless to say my car was broken intoand these, along with some jordan xix lows and some speaker stuff was stolen...i would later have sincereone03 get another pair5 for me from his boy's gf,but they were a sz 8.5 and were a bit too snug. So i would end up seling those, but only AFTER i got these sz 9's. Thanks to Ali, traded him my jordan XVIsOG and jordan X retro's for em....they are still ds as well lol
dunk sb low-supremes. Nuff said right? one of my good friends, Sam, had a fsr of them in his hands for some reason i would never know. offered them to me for300 and it was a wrap. if i knew better, i would have bought the sz 6 for my wife first....and since these were a sz 8.5 they were a bit snug, so i cut thestraps...drofhiphopology never forgave me for that hahaha
dunk sb low-purple pigeons. when i first saw the shoe, i KNEW it would be an instant classic. i was REALLY contemplating buying about 4 pairs of them to neston....wound up just getting one for me and the wife, very dope shoe and glad she bought them for me at retail.
dunk hi sb- this was around oct/nov i remember canada getting them first, and i was about to drop 200 on em. Luckily a local skate shop got em, and i was on myway to work and decided to "be late to work" to go get em...they only had a sz 9.5 and i even tried them on and all that stuff, even wore em out thestore so they knew i wasn't just out there to resell em...thanks 35th southh
dunk sb low- futuras. These came all the way from japan. my man drofhiphopology gave me a facebook message saying he spotted a sz 9 for about 110$....at firsti was like nah i'm ok since i wasn't trying to buy shoes at this time, but then i was like...what am i doing!??!?! sent him the money and when he gotback from japan...i was happy as hell...
dunk low sb- hemps, just loved the material on these and since i absolutely hated the cascade blue, and could not get the bonzais at all....these had to do loldoesn't help that i asked out my gf, now wife, with these on....so it's more memorabilia now
dunk sb low-black pack...just got em from SPOT, never seen sb's on sale back then so i got myself a couple pairs...they were about 50$ or so if i recall
dunk low sb-one of my assistant managers back then gave me a gift certificate to a local skateshop, and i figured id use em on these...but i had to work thatmorning, so a co worker said he'd go for me. ended up with a 9.5 so i traded those to a guy i knew who had the sz 9s....yay, always wear these with adifferent insole of course, can't disrespect the goddess...
dunk low hi sb- brian andersons, very dope scheme, i remember early NT posts with these being posted with a baby milo logo on the heel, hilarious i believed ittoo lol. just a sick colorway, can't say no to it...woiund up with a sz 8.5 though, and they're too snug, have to wear em without the insoles...
dunk low sb- this shoe is interesting. There was a phase when my manager did NOT like/want his shoes anymore. so he started to sell them all off, and he goesand tells me that he has 5 pairs of SB's in his trunk and he'd give em to me for 400$...so i say...ok sure why not. Raygun/shanghai 2/tiffs/whitemelvins/and de la highs i believe. Sold everything else and basically at the time got me the tiffs for free. I would later sell them to Ali, and get them backfrom him lol. small world still ds
blazer sb- saw them on my friends foot and was like damn they're pretty nice. He would go through his own selling phase, so i siad lemme get em! he soldthem to me for dirt cuz the toe was messed up, but i would fix that up myself...good shoe good materials, and "extra" touches
dunk low sb-a friend of mine camped out with my wife for these for me. i was happy to get em, but there was an issue with them not having my wife's sizeafter we were informed that they would have the size avail...tsk tsk to that store. but thats the past, and i've bought stuff at this store now after a 2year hiatus lol
prod 2- j rod 2s. good scheme don't you think? was able to trade nt'r shugaray for em with some HOH zoom bb1s they get plenty of wear =D
jordan 3 - fire reds, wear pairs, found them on craigslist for under retail this year....win seeing as how these were only worn about 2x prior to me, but thatguy lived sooooo far though...ughhh
jordan xvi cdp-great shoe IMO, the prob with the xvi IMO was that it only had two official colorways, not including the +'s, glad to have these and be ableto split the package with a friend.
jordan 1 hi strap- Classic colorway, close to the 2000 retro's, i'll take em! bought two sets, sold the 2nd one for about the price of both of themcombined so yea....good move on my half =D
jordan xi - a good friend of mine int0thedark had a friend selling them. he didn't want em and somehow got these from him for free....and he would trade methese for a sole provider book that i bought off amazon for about 4$....he knew it though and didn't mind. good friends ftw
jordan xi- bought for about 300 from a good friend, who's own friend was selling them. ds xi's for 300....never can go wrong nowadays....
jordan v- i really really like the idea that they would bring a 3m shoe out. and the fact that tinker originally planned for the v to be like this. So i askedmy friend for his ES hookup, and went down to portland for these. wound up with like 5 pairs that i sold all of them back for. No need for it, but i stillcamped out for em! saw neon j packs that morning too, worse part? tinker was at that niketown that morning signing auto's for people....there will beanother day for me to meet mr. hatfield i'm sure.
jordan vi- not a big fan of VI's. i've had about 4 pairs of infrareds and other colorways and they've all never appealed to me. Only reason i stillhave these is cuz a friend game em to me for free. thanks brian

spi'zike- love it! og color set, i concider them my bootleg cement 3s. makes me sad that my wifes set is too snug for her foot though
jordan xi low- you never forget your first. this was the first jordans that i owned. i remmeber being in HS and a friend of mine, who had a lot of jordans backthen, offered to pick these up for me at niketown. i could only afford one color and ended up with these. I dont like the colorway nowadays, but i'll defhold onto these...maybe even look for a ds set some day...
jordan 3s-These came from ryoyamaryo. nobody here knows him, but there was a time when he would just sell me all his shoes, and these were one of them he had.great deal back then and i break them out every once in a while. i remember my bro wonderin what the package was and upon seeing them he went
....and that's why he's not into shoes lol
jordan xv-honestly i just was messing around on ebay, decided to just bid 50 for em and ended up winning them...oops. been trying to sell them for a while butnobody wants em...sigh lol
jordan xi low- citrus. this is pair #3 that i've owned. my first set i sold back in the day cuz i was a dummy, and i found these on ebay for about 275 notan easy pick up at all!
jordan ii low- i think these are very clean with jeans, the navy and "hint" of carolina, is a good combo imo

garnett 3s - clean unique style, glad i got them on ebay for about 100 a few years ago, there is weird pen mark on the inside though

jordan vii- good colorway, my borther bought these for me when he worked at nordstroms. hated the oval laces, and swapped it out with the flat laces instead

jordan 3-this is the FIFTH pair i've owned...i can't believe it. I bought two back then from eastbay for 90$ a piece with a 10$ coupon. this is wheneastbay would let you BACKORDER shoes before they released. so basically had them on "reserve" for a solid month. the morning of, i went to niketownwith a friend and bought my 3rd pair. would eventually trade and sell all of them. bought this DS set from good homie sincereone03, and bought a wear pair,which i again sell to Ali.

They came out with the black set as well, fellow NT'rMELONHEAD picked these up for me that morning, thanks again1.

zoom tre-dope colorscheme. classic grey/neon colorway with a load of 3m...saw them on some random guys foot during a fair and was like wow....
am lights- the person i bought the sample 95s frmom offered these to me. ended up trading two pairs of kicks and he gave me these +cash....to bad the heel wasalready cracking before i even got my hands on them...but it's ok
am95s-these are OGs folks, DS too! came across a mislabeled auction and got em for about 60$+ship....still ds nonetheless
blazer sb- good colorway, the laces are from the zoom kobe iv inlines
trainer sb- found them at an outlet, would you say no to 40$? lol
dunk hi sb- unfuturas, i think this colorway is VERY nice, at first i said no to them because i had the futuras, but it hit me that these were pretty damnnice, and the materials used was pretty good for current day nike sb....thanks to an iss'r for em
dunk hi sb-"venoms" eh....bad name for em, but i like em cuz they're just simple and you can't not match wearing these with anything,didn't hurt that they were 15% off when i bought them as well....
blazer sb-azures, just got caught in the hype honestly, lol. they're still ds my wife's pair gets more play then these
prod-tinker "j rod", this is the THIRD set i've bought....ughhhh the very first set, sincereone03 hooked it up with during the whole xgamesthingy. it was a sz 9, loved them rocked them, left them in the car in a "bad neighborhood" we'll say, and needless to say my car was broken intoand these, along with some jordan xix lows and some speaker stuff was stolen...i would later have sincereone03 get another pair5 for me from his boy's gf,but they were a sz 8.5 and were a bit too snug. So i would end up seling those, but only AFTER i got these sz 9's. Thanks to Ali, traded him my jordan XVIsOG and jordan X retro's for em....they are still ds as well lol
dunk sb low-supremes. Nuff said right? one of my good friends, Sam, had a fsr of them in his hands for some reason i would never know. offered them to me for300 and it was a wrap. if i knew better, i would have bought the sz 6 for my wife first....and since these were a sz 8.5 they were a bit snug, so i cut thestraps...drofhiphopology never forgave me for that hahaha
dunk sb low-purple pigeons. when i first saw the shoe, i KNEW it would be an instant classic. i was REALLY contemplating buying about 4 pairs of them to neston....wound up just getting one for me and the wife, very dope shoe and glad she bought them for me at retail.
dunk hi sb- this was around oct/nov i remember canada getting them first, and i was about to drop 200 on em. Luckily a local skate shop got em, and i was on myway to work and decided to "be late to work" to go get em...they only had a sz 9.5 and i even tried them on and all that stuff, even wore em out thestore so they knew i wasn't just out there to resell em...thanks 35th southh
dunk sb low- futuras. These came all the way from japan. my man drofhiphopology gave me a facebook message saying he spotted a sz 9 for about 110$....at firsti was like nah i'm ok since i wasn't trying to buy shoes at this time, but then i was like...what am i doing!??!?! sent him the money and when he gotback from japan...i was happy as hell...
dunk low sb- hemps, just loved the material on these and since i absolutely hated the cascade blue, and could not get the bonzais at all....these had to do loldoesn't help that i asked out my gf, now wife, with these on....so it's more memorabilia now
dunk sb low-black pack...just got em from SPOT, never seen sb's on sale back then so i got myself a couple pairs...they were about 50$ or so if i recall
dunk low sb-one of my assistant managers back then gave me a gift certificate to a local skateshop, and i figured id use em on these...but i had to work thatmorning, so a co worker said he'd go for me. ended up with a 9.5 so i traded those to a guy i knew who had the sz 9s....yay, always wear these with adifferent insole of course, can't disrespect the goddess...
dunk low hi sb- brian andersons, very dope scheme, i remember early NT posts with these being posted with a baby milo logo on the heel, hilarious i believed ittoo lol. just a sick colorway, can't say no to it...woiund up with a sz 8.5 though, and they're too snug, have to wear em without the insoles...
dunk low sb- this shoe is interesting. There was a phase when my manager did NOT like/want his shoes anymore. so he started to sell them all off, and he goesand tells me that he has 5 pairs of SB's in his trunk and he'd give em to me for 400$...so i say...ok sure why not. Raygun/shanghai 2/tiffs/whitemelvins/and de la highs i believe. Sold everything else and basically at the time got me the tiffs for free. I would later sell them to Ali, and get them backfrom him lol. small world still ds
blazer sb- saw them on my friends foot and was like damn they're pretty nice. He would go through his own selling phase, so i siad lemme get em! he soldthem to me for dirt cuz the toe was messed up, but i would fix that up myself...good shoe good materials, and "extra" touches
dunk low sb-a friend of mine camped out with my wife for these for me. i was happy to get em, but there was an issue with them not having my wife's sizeafter we were informed that they would have the size avail...tsk tsk to that store. but thats the past, and i've bought stuff at this store now after a 2year hiatus lol
prod 2- j rod 2s. good scheme don't you think? was able to trade nt'r shugaray for em with some HOH zoom bb1s they get plenty of wear =D
jordan 3 - fire reds, wear pairs, found them on craigslist for under retail this year....win seeing as how these were only worn about 2x prior to me, but thatguy lived sooooo far though...ughhh
jordan xvi cdp-great shoe IMO, the prob with the xvi IMO was that it only had two official colorways, not including the +'s, glad to have these and be ableto split the package with a friend.
jordan 1 hi strap- Classic colorway, close to the 2000 retro's, i'll take em! bought two sets, sold the 2nd one for about the price of both of themcombined so yea....good move on my half =D
jordan xi - a good friend of mine int0thedark had a friend selling them. he didn't want em and somehow got these from him for free....and he would trade methese for a sole provider book that i bought off amazon for about 4$....he knew it though and didn't mind. good friends ftw
jordan xi- bought for about 300 from a good friend, who's own friend was selling them. ds xi's for 300....never can go wrong nowadays....
jordan v- i really really like the idea that they would bring a 3m shoe out. and the fact that tinker originally planned for the v to be like this. So i askedmy friend for his ES hookup, and went down to portland for these. wound up with like 5 pairs that i sold all of them back for. No need for it, but i stillcamped out for em! saw neon j packs that morning too, worse part? tinker was at that niketown that morning signing auto's for people....there will beanother day for me to meet mr. hatfield i'm sure.
jordan vi- not a big fan of VI's. i've had about 4 pairs of infrareds and other colorways and they've all never appealed to me. Only reason i stillhave these is cuz a friend game em to me for free. thanks brian
jordan 1 -patent leather ones. people cried blasphemy. i liked them and still do. OG color set, with patent leather? this was before PL got super duper abusedtoo....at times i want to sell em but there are times when i just say iono...
jordan iv- mars iv's, 2nd set i've owned. wore out a set before and sold em. now this set remains still ds. love the laser on the heel.
spi'zike- love it! og color set, i concider them my bootleg cement 3s. makes me sad that my wifes set is too snug for her foot though
jordan xi low- you never forget your first. this was the first jordans that i owned. i remmeber being in HS and a friend of mine, who had a lot of jordans backthen, offered to pick these up for me at niketown. i could only afford one color and ended up with these. I dont like the colorway nowadays, but i'll defhold onto these...maybe even look for a ds set some day...
jordan 3s-These came from ryoyamaryo. nobody here knows him, but there was a time when he would just sell me all his shoes, and these were one of them he had.great deal back then and i break them out every once in a while. i remember my bro wonderin what the package was and upon seeing them he went
jordan xv-honestly i just was messing around on ebay, decided to just bid 50 for em and ended up winning them...oops. been trying to sell them for a while butnobody wants em...sigh lol
jordan xi low- citrus. this is pair #3 that i've owned. my first set i sold back in the day cuz i was a dummy, and i found these on ebay for about 275 notan easy pick up at all!
jordan ii low- i think these are very clean with jeans, the navy and "hint" of carolina, is a good combo imo
am90- NT'r averagesavage traded me these for a pair of pippen retro's. i think i won outta the trade, but he was a good man who shiped first as well.much respect, love these shoes.
ace 83-if you can't see why i bought these then please, just log off and never come back to NT.

wmns dunk lows- good colorway, bought em on sale at a local mom and pops store. been trying to sell these for a while as well
af2 lows-the dirty, this was a VERY HOT colorway and good exclusive for ATL. i bought them from another NTr years ago and love em.
bron iv's- loved the shoe, clean classic style with a great and unique design. Bound to be a classic in the future. too bad they are so heavy.
jordan ivs- got em for about 180 or so a few years back. local manager had em for sale bought em, and realized that the guy didn't give meinsoles...boo...lol
garnett 3s - clean unique style, glad i got them on ebay for about 100 a few years ago, there is weird pen mark on the inside though
kobe 1-mesh playoffs. i had a choice between these and the jordan xvi lows. i bought those instead and would find these a couple of years ago on ebay...greatshoe and unique in regards of materials.
zoom flight 95- the ds set
zoom kobe 1s-found them at the outlet. so weird how the "knock off" zoom uptempos were selling for MORE then these were, and were located RIGHT NEXTto these....nike nike nike....
jordan xi low- citrus wear pair. got them from the jordan iv guy, no insoles too....great price and great to wear all the time
jordan xi low i.e.- no clue why i bought these, was going to do a sole swap but was too lazy lol
kobe 2 st- ds set
jordan 3 retro - ds set
dunk hi - denims. very great in materials, makes me want the lows more and more, but these are pretty good as far as qualitya nd construction goes
wmns jordan v - they were like 18$ at the outlet, painted the teeth and the jumpman on em, haven't gotten around to doing the other shoe though.
jordan vii- good colorway, my borther bought these for me when he worked at nordstroms. hated the oval laces, and swapped it out with the flat laces instead
jordan iii flip- good concept, i liked the samples more though. still ds, the leather lining throws me off a bit when i try them on....
kobe iv-my fav colorway of the batch simple, clean great shoe overall. bought two pairs thanks to heelintoe
jordan xi- found a pair on ebay for 175 worn once....needless to say they were on my feet asap lol

wmns dunk low- just a clean colorway, they dont get much play from me lately either
dunk low- daktari, good shoe. i was going to pay like 105 or something at seattle retro shoe store, but decided to walk to niketown and think about itfirst....turns out they had em and i got em for 65$...yay the tongue rubs me foot wrong though, have to wear thick socks with em...
flightposite 1-good job nike for thinking outside the box, great shoe imo
dunk low- pro b's from back in the day. the shoes were unstuffed but are def still clean. again...no play nowadays
dunk hi's-the collection royale. I'm a sucker for black patent leather, so needless to say i jumped on these. great shoe that many don't have.
trunner condo- good classic design, the trunners today do not even touch the simplicity of these!
jordan retro 8 - bro got these for me when footlocker was getting no love. I personally would have sold these by now but they were a gift....so no sale onthese lol
tech challenge- was never too fond of the shoe, but they started to hit sales rack during last summer and i said, hey why not for 50$?
jordan 3-this is the FIFTH pair i've owned...i can't believe it. I bought two back then from eastbay for 90$ a piece with a 10$ coupon. this is wheneastbay would let you BACKORDER shoes before they released. so basically had them on "reserve" for a solid month. the morning of, i went to niketownwith a friend and bought my 3rd pair. would eventually trade and sell all of them. bought this DS set from good homie sincereone03, and bought a wear pair,which i again sell to Ali. Still have these now and they are still DS
Jordan xiv-favorite colorway of this shoe. got them for a pretty good price when they released, i believe 50% off.
jordan xx3-fav colorway of this shoe, great scheme, great look. good purcahse
jordan xx- midwest regional. actually picked these up while on vacation to chicago back then. good to get shoes at the spot vs having people order them andsuch. reminded me of carmines with the over use of red nubuck
jordan xx- stealth. was going to buy the QS version that morning, until i saw that they were leather and not PATENT like the white ones prior to it. gooddecision imo, great classic colorway.
sabaku slip on- found them at a thrift store. brand new samples.....win!, still hunting for the mids
af1 highs-sheed highs. great classic colorway with patent leather to boot! so much hoopla over this shoe, word to dirtylicious lol
jordan xvii -my fav color of the three mids, got em for about 100$ back then. one of my earlier jordan purchases that i surprisingly still have...
and this is only about 45% so far....more to come as i update this, thanks !
