I had a similar experience just two years later. Back in 1992, my mom took me to Footlocker to get some shoes for a basketball camp. I got the Jordan VIIBordeaux. It put me on the road to being into sneakers.
I didn't start really collecting until 2002 and I kick myself over throwing away quite a few classic Nikes and jordans from the 90's. It is not likekid sized/small sized, beat up kicks would sell well on eBay but still. I actually had the OG Airmax 95's and Jordan XI's when I was in middle school.
Yet my mom sensibly threw them away.
