What a Pleasent Surprise. Story Inside.

[hostos]

Hi all.
I just wanted to let you guys know !$@ just happened.

So i was cleaning out my closet and i see this OG AJ-17 Briefcase I had hidden in a corner under a ton of stuff, from when I bought these years ago.
I knew it was empty cause I had killed these shoes (soles went flying off) from using them too much playing basketball when i was younger but still, I was actually exited i had found this.
Much to my surprise when I grabbed it, it felt like it had some shoes in them.




So i go and open the case guess what i had found inside:



BOOM!!!!!

After i came back to my senses from almost fainting i started thinking !$@!!!!
I had forgotten about these RETRO 2001 AJXI's!!
When I bought em back in '01 I used them twice and never again cause i loved these shoes too much. So I must have put them in this briefcase (IDK what happened with the OG Box) for storing them and just keeping them for collection purposes..
I completely and utterly forgot i had these gems hidden in my closet.
Great day to be a sneaker fan today!!!
Hope you guys enjoyed the story.
More Pics. There are sooo MINT!

he shoots, he scores! ^(the spacing on the 23 looks good)^

curses myself for being too organised. i really have no idea how one could lose track of a pair of shoes, when my og xi (b/r) were stored in my parent's place for several years (sole seperation and cf cracked), i never forgot about them.

i used to know drugs dealers who would regularly find stashes of cash they forgot about. why does this never happen to me!!!
