Official Favorite Air Jordan Thread/ Wish List Thread

[SteveSteve72]

There used to be a favorite J thread around here but it’s old and not used anymore. Many members have left and many new members have joined. Every few days there seems to be a new thread made with a different way of asking the same question ( what’s you top three J’s , what J do you want most, what should JB drop next etc.) I figured I’d make this thread so we have a place to post our favorites and also what J’s we want to drop next or even just posting pics of our favorites. Hopefully this will cut down on the same type of thread being made over and over again.
So post up your favorites. Your most favorite of all time or even your top 100 or your wish list.

I’ll start with my all time top 3 favorites. In order

Black Metallic V’s, my most favorite shoe of all time. First Air Jordan I got as a kid, and they’ve been my favorite ever since!

Bordeaux VII’s

Black and Red XIII’s

Of course there’s a bunch more that I love but this is my top 3.

Personal GOATS. Hopefully they get re-retro'd in this colourblocking w/n the next 3yrs:

I've only these once unfortunately, and wore them until I couldn't. Definitely favourite one time owned shoe:

I don't think I ever want these to retro, b/c I don't trust that Nike/JB will do them right, and I'll be so salty about that I might not **** w/ Nike for years again It's the most distinctive feeling Jordan sneaker I can think of. I've brought this sneaker so many times:

For me
1

(1st Jordan I ever owned. Begged my parents religiously until I got them. Will always have a soft spot for Mettalics.)

2

99s - Always liked wht/cements even from the OG release. But my parents refused to buy them for me.

3a

After a few years of the Og release of the XIs, I always heard rumors of the Space Jams. (Sample pairs floating around.) It wasn't until 00 that I was able to buy them.

3b

Columbias were a favorite of mine since the original release.

Not going to post a top 3, but my favorite is the VII. Not quite like the original, but they've retro'd my favorite colorway, which is the Flint VII.

My Favorites...
3. Air Jordan 4 White Cement. I also have the '99's...

2. Air Jordan 11 Concord (excuse the DMP's, but I love them too)...

1. Air Jordan 13 Black & Red. My absolute favorite...

Air Jordan 5 Black Metallic and Air Jordan 3 White Cement round off my top 5. I copped multiples of them as well...

Top 3 without a doubt

Wantlist!

The following contains both my top 9 list (ordered) and wishlist (highlighted):

Air Jordan XIII (Navy/Carolina Blue-Flint Grey-White) (136002 441)

- The one that started it all for me. 23 years later, its importance and aesthetics have yet to be matched.

Air Jordan XI (White-Black-Dark Concord) (130245 101)

- From first-time inspections to a reluctance to unlacing--let alone wearing--Concords prey on my obsessive-compulsive disorder like no other.

Air Jordan X (Black/Dark Concord-Metallic Silver) (130209 051)

- Mysterious, understated and just all-around smartly-designed. Why it evokes mental images of Sarah Bryant and thoughts of deep house is anyone's guess.

Air Jordan III (White/Cement Grey) (4365)

- Rationalizing a 75% markup from the outset as a steal is exclusive to this shoe. As classic as it gets.

Air Jordan XIII (Black/True Red-White) (136002 061)

- This specific colorway executes the design concept of its respective model best.

Air Jordan VI (Black/Black-Infrared) (4391)

- In contention for the most well-regarded Air Jordan by the uninitiated and enthusiasts alike. Most iconic? Most popular? Least likely to receive negative or lukewarm opinions? Possibly. Whatever the case, though the preceding five sneakers surpass it aesthetically on my list, 'objectively speaking,' it's probably the best-looking product to ever bear the man's name.

Air Jordan IX (Black-Light Olive-True Red) (130182 030)

- Vaguely ACG-esque design that captures the gritty vibe of New York City during the period it was originally released -- nothing like it.

Air Jordan XIV (Black/Black-Varsity Red) (136016 001)

- Always viewed this as a Black Infrared 6 with Y2K sensibilities. Without the yellow emblem, it loses half of its appeal.

Air Jordan XV (White/Columbia Blue-Black) (136029 141)

- There's something genuinely otherworldly about Columbia 15s-- Tying into that, FLCL comes to mind, which premiered two months after the former's release.

Air Jordan TBD (N/A)

I just picked these up over the weekend.

I’d love another retro as well with the Bordeaux VII.

would like to see white/infrared VI's. I really like the look of predominantly white VI's as a pure basketball sneaker, I think they're a bit challenging to pull off dressing casually but are a great sport shoe. always appreciated vented/vented look sneakers & perforated leather in general.

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

Surprised no one said XXIIIs, Bred XIXs or Fire Red/Black Tongue Vs for wish list. Or the real black XIII low that Michael wore.

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

 

[NToweG]

Interesting. I've never seen those white/black 17's

 

[gotjz]

I think they’re the white/college blue. Someone correct me if I’m wrong
