same here....no hate at all, but im amazed at how the younger cats have the loot at that age. back then i considered myself fortunate to get 2 pairs of sneakers (not just Js) in a single year. my collection only started picking up steam once i got done with school and started my full-time gig

45 here. Don't forget Eric B w/Rakim, Chuck D., Big Daddy Kane, KMD, and the other 1/2...Zeppelin, RUSH, AC/DC, Stones along with feathered hairwith tons of Style hairspray!!! Goody combs too. Have 3 kids now with my 13 yr.old son in the game. He's the one with all/most of the J's. I enjoycollecting J's with my son. He has 19 pairs already. I think he's shooting for the 1-23 run. Back in the day you could just go and pick up a pair ofJ's no probs. Still remember my grape V's. (I need the 18/5 CDP.

im 14, and ive been into Jordan's for about 3 years....my first pair was low top white/red/black 13's
I "collect" but im nowhere near any of you guys...its hard to collect when you can only get 4 pairs of shoes a year!
 
im 18 started collecting SERIOUSLY in late november. im up to 15 pairs now i could have more but i prefer quality over quantity. got my first pair wen i wasbout 5 years old. they were the OG taxi 12s that r coming out in the CDP so i obviously have an emotional connection to the 12s.

So i am probably one of the oldest jordan fans on here, but know the history of these shoes very well. I have a total of 72 pairs of jordans and over 3/4s of those are originals from 88-97. I would say the most rare pair that I own are the maroon VI's and, a pair of Cleveland Cavalier colored Jumpman team shoe that I got from Derek Anderson when I worked one of his basketball camps, and of course my favorite of all time...the white and grey IV's.

So anyways, post your age!

Im am 25. I never had them as a kid we could never afford them, but always knew what they were. I have 30 pairs and a job that allows me to keep up myaddiction. I only stick to og colors and rare J's. My girlfriend hated it at first, I just have to make sure to throw a couple purses to her and its allgood.
 
34, collected back in the day....Sold my OG stuff..... Found NT about 2 years ago and now I am back in the game....

It's all NT's fault that I am back to 30+ pairs...... Oh well, it's better than wasting money on gambling I guess.....??
