2001 Space Jams and
Jumpman Pure's in the cool grey colorway. Parents never bought me a pair back in the day and they are impossible to find. I can't even find a pic online of the cool grey colorway i'm talking about. These were the Pure's that used neoprene for the uppers, instead of leather which JB used on later Pure colorways.

SN check.
It was about 13 when the AF1 craze started hitting with Murphy Lee/Nelly/Diddy. That was back then when they were somewhat sought after. You couldn't find them at my local mall. I was 13 so online ordering was out of the question.
Fast forward to 2014, I haven't owned forces in years. Although they are and always will be a staple, I can't deal with the creasing and how uncomfortable they are. SB dunks>>>>

Man cortez's. Poor mans af1.
There was also this one shoe that had the same silhouette as the af1. even had the air on the side of the midsole. but they werent quite the af1. i remember thinking to myself as a kid "man ill just get these and no one will know the differnce"
