(1/3) The first time I saw Air Jordans in Detroit. They weren’t Air Jordans. They were called Sky Jordans. The kid down the block with small feet had some. Everyone gathered around him to look. I asked how much they cost. He said $45. I needed new gym shoes and my limit was $40. I told my Grandma I found some shoes I want and they only cost $40. I knew I could promise a day of hard lawn labor for the extra $5 at the store. We got in Grandma’s Eldorado. I was so excited…🧵

(2/3) When we got to the store I ran to find the Sky Jordans! “Salesman bring me a size 10.” “Can’t do it.” “What do you mean you can’t?” “Can’t do it. Sky Jordans only go up to size 8. You need Air Jordans big fella.” I picked up the Air Jordans. $65! I was about to cry. “Grandma the ones I want don’t come in my size.” Grandma said “Shopper’s World probably has those same exact shoes.” Only different! You never want to be seen in shoes from Shopper’s World…🧵

Never got into the sneaker head world. I encouraged my son to buy stock vice shoes. He’s 28 and financially set. Black people need to revisit how they spend their money, especially over the next 4 years.

As an extra curricular kid, I was always busy Saturday mornings nor did I want to wait in line so I skipped the Jordan phase in my youth. After explaining this to my now husband, he surprised me with a pair for Valentine’s Day & it’s been up ever since!🤣♥️

My first were the Jordan 7 Bordeaux I was 12 years old I think it was back in 92 and cost £124 that’s a lot of money for a working class boy from a council estate in London I saved up some of the money from my paper round and my mum paid the rest I brought I the reissues in 2015 I think and they were about £2 cheaper

I mowed yards all summer to buy a pair of Jordan 6s. By the time I had saved enough to go to the store they were sold out of size 12, and thus began my love/hate relationship with shoe stores. I ended up wearing a 15 and the Nike app has been a game changer. My new Kobes actually just got delivered to the house. I got lucky and found some in the app when they restocked. They are even the white/purple/gold ones that I actually wanted.

I (a female) just bought my first pair of Jordans for myself this year, at the age of 40. I saw them, liked the color, so I bought them lol.
