i started last year when the aqua 8's came out. i've always been a fan since i was first introduced to jordans(space jams... i had em as a kid and beentrying to get my hands on a pair forever now) but now that i can buy shoes for myself now i cop what i like when i can. my parents won't buy me thembecause they cost to much. i'm up to 5 pairs of sigs and 1 pair of spizikes. next cop will hopefully be the vi/xvi cdp.

1'm 25 years young with 92 pairs of Jordans (Jesus Christ how did this happen??)... My first pair of Jordans were original Black/Red Air Jordan 14's. Ididn't start buying in bulk until I got a gig at a sneaker store in '04.
So basically between 1998 and 2004 the only Jordans I owned were Black 15's, Black/Cement & True Blue 3's, Black lowtop 6's, patent leatherCaro 1's, White/Zen XI lows and Nubuck 12's.
I don't consider myself a collector. I just own a s*$t-load of sneakers and I wear all of them. The ones I don't wear are because I have more than onepair to wear further down the road since I don't plan on buying sneakers like this for much longer. Honestly, if the 23's and countdown packagesdidn't release, my Jordan purchases would strictly be older retros. So after this year I hope to be done buying shoes (minus a new foamposite release or aWhite/Sport Blue VI retro lol).

LOL @ you puttin in 3 hours a week and getting a pair of Jordans. Save your ducktales for webbley. What could you even do at 9 physically lol
this whole discussion is counterproductive so i won't even continue it. But it is impossible for a NINE YEAR OLD who CANT DRIVE and CANT even have money outside of a shoebox, be a 'serious collector'
that is all.
im not saying youre lying...but that is pretty hard to believe...Anyway, Ive been buying jordans on and off since 99'...
and sorry eveyrone about this and me ruining this thread with all this nonsence
That was awesome. I am 19 and have worn Jordan's since I can remember. I got a job at 16. That's when I started really getting in the collectiongame. I am up past the 200 marker in total shoes and I have paid for all of mine. I wish I had a job at nine and was smart enough to collect my pre-school andgrade-school Jordan's. Seriously that is sad that a kid would really take the time to do that I just played outside all the time in my s@#% back then.Don't know about the rest of y'all.

29--Not to knock any body else, but it seems like a common factor is that the younger "collectors" are more into quantity. I just buy the J'sthat take me back to '92 or '97 or whatever. I actually lived through and was a part of the 'real' Jordan era so I can pass on XIII or IX or XVretroes. I'm old enough to remember why i didn't like them when they first came out. I think its cool how the younger kids will actually have theirshoes preserved for the future. Dont some of you old mufu's wish you were that smart 10-15-20 yrs ago? We wouldn't be spending like idiots on ebay

, all this fighting...but in all seriousness....this reminded meof back in the day when people argued and had "shoe battles," and the community would vote on the winner (usually a pretty decisive winner) thiscould be the old vs the young, an epic battle haha. LETS DO IT@!!!!!
