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.

Those 16s are hideous. When I was a kid, I was into Pony.

You dont see those kind of nike shoes in europe a lot. Why are they so expensive?

High profit margin for nike and mr Jordan

Not to mention the enormous marketing costs

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 -

Air max is the best sneaker ever made.

I thought that until I tried a pair of US made retro New Balance. Mid tops are awesome.

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.
