   I know a lot of folks in here are very critical about the quality of shoes they spend their money on.  And rightfully so.  I wanted to start a thread to GET AWAY from the hype, the fake/real, the economics of business to just get back to why we buy.  If you all have the time, post your stories about the shoe or any shoes that you wanted or have always wanted and what it means to you.   Give stories of what you had to do to obtain it and the time frame in which it took place.   I like to read and see pics of stories of people that just wanted the shoes and the memories that come with them.  Young and older, it don't matter.  A lot in niketalk have to have a story that started it all for them.  Anyone  if everyone has a history with the Nike/Jordan line what is yours?    If this was done before I apologize.       Essays welcome.     Thanks guys.
 
I was in the 6th grade and at the time my favorite pair was the penny 2, but liked pretty much everything with a full air bubble. I had og white infrareds when I was younger but never really liked jordans, especially 7s, 8s, 9s 10s until I saw playoff 11s! The shoe that really got me into kicks. My neighbor was a couple years older than me and always had the doest sneakers and when he got those 11s I was in was in love with them. I saved up the lil money I had and when I finally had enough mom took me to the mall but I was way late and all they had were 12s. I was so hurt! I didn't really like the 12s at the time so I grabbed some griffeys, again that air bubble. Those 11s made there way around from person to person until my buddy got them. At this point they were completely beat but I had to have them. I traded some pretty much ds all black penny 4s for them and that's what started this all for me. I've had every retro of playoff 11s since. Wish I still has those ogs... I threw them away eventually because they started falling apart! Damn, I wish I still had them! Gave my 01s to my cousin a couple years ago and left with my cdps and my '12s. I can't wait til jb finally releases them correctly!
