Never "collected", never have and never will have the "Pokemon" mentality (*Show really messed you kids up,

). Been buying since I got my first gig in '98.
Only scooped what I liked...
1. White/Cement IV's - '99s were long gone, needed a replacement.
2. Obsidian/White XII's - Have the lows, needed the mid-top of this classic.
3. Fire Red IV's - Needed another pair, wrecked one of my "Mars" pairs, still have one pair DS.
4. Black/Red IV's - Needed a replacement for the 99's, refused to get bamboozled into buying the CDP a couple of years back, worth the wait.
5. Military IV's (Gave them away) - Got a replacement pair, love the colorway, still have a pair from 2006 DS. A friend wanted them, didn't get them so gave them to him.
Five pairs, it's crazy to think about. I used to buy Jordan's in crazy numbers. I'm still buying shoes in relatively crazy numbers just in different areas (Nike, Vans, JP's, Allen Edmonds, etc).
Although I love the idea of owning the Black/Red IV's once again, I'm really disappointed in the quality.
