You can tell the old fellas on here. We don't come up with names, we use the colorway and number.

My first MENs size Jordan was the White and Cement IV I was probably 6 when they dropped maybe 7. I remember getting the White and Blue iVs and being super upset because I wanted the White/Black/Red. Oh, how times have changed. The guy with pics is awesome. I going to dig out mine of some White/Black/Red with 23 on the side OG Vs I had with an ill Bulls turtleneck. LOL!!!

You, sir, speak the truth.  I remember back in the day, we didn't even refer to them as the Jordan III, IV, V, etc.  It was the year, and color, and the current model was always just the "Jordan."  III = 88, IV = 89, V = 90.  For example, I begged my mom for the "Black 90's."  I don't even remember seeing a roman numeral attached to a Jordan until the IX's came out, actually.  And that was on a pamphlet from Flight Club that showed sketches of all the old models.

  Peace,

White/True Blue/Cement IIIs (1988)
White/Fire Red/Black Vs (1990)
White/Maroon VIs (1991)
Black/Red VIIs (1992)
White/Varsity Red XIIs (1997) - Still have these but they are worn out pretty bad
Black/Red/White XIIIs (1998)
White/Red/Black XIVs (1999)
Varsity Royal/Black/White XIVs - low tops (1999) - Still have these in deadstock condition

I pretty much stopped getting OGs after the XIVs....not sure why.  I didn't buy any from 1993 - 1996 because I was paying my own tuition for college.  I eventually went back and tried to fill in the gaps of my favorites ones that I had to pass up.  I'd like to get a pair of IIs and Xs to complete my collection from I to XIV.
 
1989- Cement Grey IV- GS size. I was a size 7.5 / 8 but my dad wouldn't buy the men size =(
1990- Black / Red IV - remembering walking to the mall and seeing this on sale for 99.99. I really didn't want it cus everyone at school had these. But decided to buy them anyway.
1990- White / Fire Red V
1991- Wite / Infrared VI
1992- Black / Bordeaux VII (these shoes were some POS, half way through the year the bottom sole ripped in half)

After this I saw what the VIII looked like, and I quit Jordan Brand. Until the XIs came out, but I was actually more into the 95 Air Max Uptempo (Pippens)

So funny that you guys mentioned this.  We just called the current model "The New Jordans", and when they released you either had the white ones or the black ones.
It was so special when a blue colorway would hit shelves.  It was almost unreal to see True Blues 3s, Miltary IVs, and Sport Blue VI.  This is even reflected in my NT screenname.

Too many to list so I will just list some of the ones I know I didn't get.. One that stands out is the concord 11's I was able to get a pair for my wife, which she wore one time,sz 7 men, and still has.. but she wasn't able to secure a pair for me. I got some Grant Hill Filas instead. You can imagine my dissapointment.. Let's see another couple of pairs my Mom bought but decided to take back.. The 5's white/red, and a Pair of 6's, white/carmine.. I never liked the 15's so never bought any of those.  Other than that between my Mom buying them for me, to me becoming of age and getting a job, and realatives buying them for birthdays, Christmas gifts or other excuses, I pretty much have played in them and worn them all.
