What Air Jordan did you fall in love with?

It was the VII's for me! Either black, or the beaurdeux! Those were the first pair that I saw when I was about 14, so maybe there would be else if I knewJ's before that moment...

But VII's started it, and then VIII's were even more hot for me! I loved them, but coudln't afford them.
My first pair was retro black III's... I didn't really love them but they were J's so... Now I love 'em and wait for a retro...
Then I loved the XI's with the red soles but couldn't afford them either, so when I was able to buy the black-red XII I was more than happy!!!

And that was 1989.

Crazy to think that a large majority of the people on this message board were born AFTER these shoes came out.

I think it's pretty different when you remember.... I started the shoe game (to fell in love with shoes) with the VII's and a retro brings backmemories.... That's why I don't say anything to shoes before the VII's. I love the VI's, but when I realized that it's a J it was around'95, or '96...
This is not the same feeling... To wait for a shoe release that you don't remember as OG's.... You'll never know...

Absolutelly! That's what I hate in the XI's. Those are beautiful DS. But as you start to wear them....

When you see an old concorde on the court.... It's one of the ugliest shoes, you'll ever see.
That's why I need only black-red XI's.... It looks the same way after 2 years...

I knew that I'd never have it that's why I love them so much. They're kind of my unicorn Js.

Save some of your breath. It's OG Space Jams. Some people don't know that these shoes exists and called others newb for saying "OG SpaceJams".
 
black and silver 2s. i saw them and just wanted them. it was my first pair and i want them again in 10.5 if anyone has info.

then came the raptor 7s and white red and grey 8s
 
It has to be the Black/Infrared VIs. It was '91 and I got my hands on the Wheaties calendar..he had the VIs on for the month of December and that's it,I was in love. Never got a pair of VIs until 2000 though. Parents didn't want to buy them for me back in '91, too expensive. Still my all-time favoriteshoe...
 
the III's were the 1's that did it for me and just the overall hype surrounding them back then cause the only people who wore Jordans in myneighborhood were drug dealers
 
I love the Space Jams and True Blue IIIs now but when i saw Space Jam the movie, thats what did it for me
happy.gif
 
ANY IV in general, with maybe a few exceptions.
FIRE RED
MILITARIES
COOL GREYS
WHITE GREEN
BLACK CEMENT
WHITE CEMENT
God, I loved this shoe.
 
When I first seen the Flint XIII, I fell in love with them in instant.
I still look to find them in my size in a reasonable price DS!
