What Air Jordan did you fall in love with?

Had the internet been as popular then, it probably would have crashed from so much forum/blog traffic. That's just how much hype that created. I knew that I'd never have it that's why I love them so much. They're kind of my unicorn Js.

for me it would be the REAL "jams" with the concord bottom and jumpman

Black/Cement III's. I'm a sucker for elephant print, and I'm a BIG sucker for black shoes with white midsoles. (NH)

But yeah, they'remy grails now.
 
My personal attachment is to the Military IV's, my first pair ever. I got them last year, last pair in the store and in my size

Also the OG Red/White/Black 1's also caught my eyes. My 2 favorite Jordans.
 
for me, it was the fire red 4. i was in the 8th grade and probably only 2 people had them. that shoe was incredible. ever since then, i've been hooked.
 
6's, 8's and 10's (White/blk-caro) all caught my eye back in the day... But I didn't fall in love until the...

XV's (Black/Red)
I don't know how to explain it, and I don't care what anyone may think, but when these dropped, it was like I found my Soulmate (pun intended, lol).
These were 1st Jordan I purchased with my own money. My folks couldn't afford Jordans when I was young and the only pair they ever bought for me beforethen were the Blk/Red XIV's.
I still dispise the hideous low tops, and I'm currently tip-toe'ing back and forth on buying the lasers (The OG Perdue University PE without thelasering crushes these and is my current grail). But every GR and TD Mid is a thing of beauty to me.

I still like the look of certain Jordans more than the XV's (VI's, I's, VII's, XI's...). But you can only have 1st love.

P.S.- The XX3 give me that same familiar feeling...
 
Black/Red XI's for me


that was the first shoe i seen in high school before i got into shoes and was like 'damn i need those'
 
The first shoe that did it for me was the Black and Metallic 5. Back in the day, I was more impressed with MJ's game than I was with the shoes on his feetuntil I asked my mom to buy me the Michael Jordan's Playground video. I watched it and became instantly amazed by those shoes...a thing of beauty andfinally in the year 2007 have a few pairs.

Other than that, my very first pair of Jordans was the Bordeaux 7's and I still wish I had them even though they were kid sized. They were beautiful.
 
infrareds... i wanted them so badly when they originally came out but had to get carmines as a kid cuz they were on sale... i was disappointed but stillsatisfied that i could even own a pair of jordans...
 
for me i would have to say the playoff 12s and maybe the cardinal 7s but only cause the 7s was my first pair of jordans i got those when i was in the 2nd backin 92 but i would say my fav jordan of all time is the playoff 12
