Dude I'm 34. I wear kicks whenever I'm not at work. It's my thing. It's what I like. F what the haters think. Everyone has their own things they like. It's not like we go around making fun of their spoon collections. Lol
exactly. Someone tried to tell me I was wasting money. My response, "stop trying to count my damn money."
I hear that but seriously man I have so many pairs that I can't wear them all lol it's a borderline problem lmfao
I tell my girl all the time, when we get married I will wear my jays, Iam 30 an have No plan on stop wearing my jays, especially the 1,4,3,11, which can always come off nice and grown with a few outfits,I don't think wearing ya kicks should come with age, well maybe certain models or color ways,and as for selling,I look at jays like art,an history..each pair has a story an a memories, so unless u buy things you really don't care for,I can't see one just selling for couple of dollars unless desperate an more important things come up, but other than that I will hold in to mines..
THIS!im 27, no kids, no wife, my own spot, nice car and makea nice living. ill be damned if im going to let society or ANYBODY for that fact influence me and dress like an old geezer at 27. im good and im going to do ME until im dead. ive definitely slowed down on kicks and only have about 20 Js now, but it's not about being 27 but more so that this sneaker game is played out and nike/JB have watered it down. ive got a youthful spirit and im going to live life to the fullest.
Just turned 33 last week...
I really can't see not wearing J's. I wore them on court since '91, casually as well since '95, and collecting since 2000.
I work as a video producer and wear J's on set every day. Older folks I work with always ask me what 'fancy shoes' I'm wearing, and just last week a 16 year old said he liked my low top 2's. I was impressed he knew what they were.
I've stuck with J's for so long, and still love them, I actually don't like wearing other shoes. They don't have the history or relate to me the way J's do.
I wear dress shoes with suits, but I even have Jordan VI boots for winter here in MN.
I'm a big fan of OG colorways & NIKE AIR where it's supposed to be. But some of my other favorites over the years have been the Laney 5's, Mocha 3's, Snakeskin 11's, French Blue 7's and Cool Grey 4's & 11's.
Here's a pic of what I wore today:

Well I'm 43 and it all started for me in 89,I'm from the uk and Jordan's weren't out over here so never seen a pair,so one day I was walking threw the local mall in the city centre of Manchester and this guy is walking towards me and just happen to look at his feet and see he a pair of jordan 4 cements on and they just blew me away I don't even now what make they were back then because there's no logo as you all know,so I stopped the guy and asked him what they were and he told all about them and about M J,the guy was from the US on holiday,had to wait a year to get a pair of jordan 5s when they did start to sell over here,I've got about 50 pairs now and don't think I'm going to stop buying them,I'm a bit more selective about the ones I buy now..that's just my little story on how it all started for me..
Well there popular now there in fashion here,it's gone like blazers,max 1,Air Force 1,roshe run and now the young folk are all into Jordan's but it will pass and they will find something else to make trendy as it were but for me I've never seen Jordan's as being in or out of fashion I just love wearing them,well back in the day there was no websites coz there was no net so the only way to get them was to jump on the plane like I did,been to the states now about 30 times love the place,I try and go twice a year I go for my holidays and do a bit of shopping for my sneakers,love the outlets you can pick up a good few bargains..as for footlocker in Manchester it started up as a very small store and it's move a few times getting bigger and bigger,now it's the second house of hoops in England the other one is in London and you can pick stuff up here easy coz most of the stuff sits for a while....Well I'm 43 and it all started for me in 89,I'm from the uk and Jordan's weren't out over here so never seen a pair,so one day I was walking threw the local mall in the city centre of Manchester and this guy is walking towards me and just happen to look at his feet and see he a pair of jordan 4 cements on and they just blew me away I don't even now what make they were back then because there's no logo as you all know,so I stopped the guy and asked him what they were and he told all about them and about M J,the guy was from the US on holiday,had to wait a year to get a pair of jordan 5s when they did start to sell over here,I've got about 50 pairs now and don't think I'm going to stop buying them,I'm a bit more selective about the ones I buy now..that's just my little story on how it all started for me..
How popular are J's in the UK these days? I was living in London for a few years and don't ever remember seeing them (mind you I wasn't really looking).
But now theres seems like so many options to buy J's, so many websites. In Australia we have Footlocker and one other place yet they seem to go quick.
