Yup. Saw them in a store this summer.  The quality has really gone down compared to years back, but the prices are ridiculous.

Dr. Chimps has offered to start a GoFund me page to collect charitable donations to cover the surgery and hospital stay for this fine young man who lost his limb.

Clearly a miscommunication as the youth was offering his gun to trade for the sneakers.

He a good boy! He dindu nuffin wrong.

I have a buddy who buys these things and literally trades them like a commodity. He’s on some shoe website where he buys and sells these things and speculates. He literally will buy them for like $900 and flip them for $1,500-$2,000 just so someone can have them a month before they come out in stores. Pretty nifty side gig on his part.

Every Air Jordan, 1-32. Keep in mind, this is that person’s view of the best color ways for each shoe. There are various color ways, and some that they have picked, were not the standard release colo ways for that shoe when it came out.

Agreed....sad that my own people will kill each other over some fucking shoes.   The most expensive shoes I had was a red pair of Troop LL Cool J's that my mom got back in 88 at Journey's.   Damn shoes would turn my socks red in the rain from all of the bleeding...lol.   I did get some black and white Adidas with some Dookie laces but after I turned 13, I stopped fucking with shit like that and wore Etonics and Sebego Docksides so I could save up for my first computer.  I was already branded an Urkel anyway so I honestly didn't give a shit. 


Nowadays, I am more into shoes so I have a nice collection of Italian footwear but I mainly have a bunch of Chuck Taylors.....can never go wrong with those

As mentioned by Maxx, limited editions and the want to have them first. I had the 4's, 5's, 6's and 7's during Jr High, and they weren't all that much more than Nike's premium sneakers and other brands. Then they fizzled for a bit, and Nike grabbed on to the limited edition thing, and the want for them exploded again. That's at least how I remember it from my youth.

The 4's will always be my favorite -

Thanx brah. But how much do "jordans" cost an average?

When I bought them in the early 90's, the retail was around $100 - 125 a pair, and discounted to $85 - 100. That was around $20 more than other popular brands.

Now, most basic Jordans sell for $185 - 200 through Nike, but if it's a sold out model, limited edition, etc.... the price jumps up fast. Most of  the working class kids I see buying them tend to spend in the $250 - 500 range, but they can even jump much higher than that. It's crazy.

I have both (and way too many).  NB made in the US models (instead of China) have much better overall support if you have back problems like me. They have other models not made in the US that are more trendy I suppose. The mid is new and great for light hikes.

Jordan changed his number for 3 months and went back to 23.

The 45 was his baseball number and he would have kept that number if Nick Anderson would not have said 23 Jordan was the better player.

Kobe switched from 8 to 24 because he raped that chick as 8. Publicly he said 24 was he high school number and it represented Kobe without Shaq. It was also seen as dig at Jordan because 24 > 23.

Cool. You sound like you buy a lot of jerseys. Must be a big fan of some teams.

The league's have rules about how much notice you have to give before you can change your number without changing teams. They have merchandise (jerseys) pre made so players are on the hook for those bills if they change numbers without league approval.

These guys are as superstitious about their number as most weightlifters are about their feet placement prior to squating.
