Yep! You would skip the first class to get a pair and come to school late with them on lol. I remember my senior year in high school, the Jordan 13 retro’s in black/red came out 12/22/04, which was a Wednesday. Me and a few buddies went to Shoe City here in PG county and stood in line waiting for them to open. We all got our pairs and dropped them off at home and went to school late lol. Good times. I wore mines after Christmas break...lol
Right? For better or worse you weren’t even “allowed” to be fat back then. You’d be clowned to death
Haha same. Think “this is it, this is the best shoe every and can’t be outdone”, all to say it again the next year
Lol, You def gotta be one of the oldest members on nt. Respect.

I definitely can attest to the Eastbay magazine. You bring that in class, you definitely get points and be “the man” for that day. I also remember having the kicks magazine from slam. Man, those were some good days.
Jordan’s used to sit on shelves for months and most cases, go on sale(Minus the Jordan 11’s in black/red in 1996).
Back then for me and my siblings, we would only get one or two sneakers the whole school year. One for back to school shopping and the other for your Bday. My mom would have a price cap of the shoes she can buy. I remember I wanted the black/silver Nike Air Max uptempo 3’s(now called the uptempo 97’s) and saw it at Athletes Foot. Retail was $139.99. I asked my mom, she said no. I had to settle and get some black air force ones, which retailed for $74.99 back then. I know that was common to a lot of families back then as far as shoes. Lastly, shoes came out every couple of months compared to now while they come out every week.
Let’s not forget how video games used to cost $60-$80, which is pretty insane in the 90’s. I used to wonder why we didn’t have that many Sega and Super Nintendo games, but I can see why looking back. We used to just rent video games most of the time.
Here is proof
Getting a CD on release day was a big deal back then lol. Back then, you knew a rapper had a new album coming out when you see his video on rap city or hear it on the radio. You would get hyped when you open the source magazine and you see the advertisement of the album. You would go into the CD store and listen to the album before you decide to buy it. Good times, just good ol times.
Naw, but someone else is....
The shorts are now BACK!
I don’t miss beating my tings to magazines though.
That **** was trash
