But about a year ago, I got a DS pair from Ebay for $250 shipped which was decent. I wore them a few times already. The thing is that was the last OG colorway that I owned in my Air Jordan 12 collection.Originally Posted by glove72

I understand where you are coming from and it looks that Air Jordan's are not exclusive anymore (only the older retros) and ALMOST EVERYONE has them now. For me personally, it does not bother me if JB keeps re-retroing every shoe because it is coming to a point that I will stop buying them because I own previous retros.
I agree with everything else you said. It has become to what year is your shoes (OG, retro, re-retro, etc...)
Those 6's are the truth....first of j's in 5th grade
I also stopped at XXIII.
Edit: Like Midnight said all my grails have NIKE AIR on it.
Word...but when I say grail, I mean shoe out there I've always wanted but never owned...it sounds like you already own your "most wanted". Other than OGs, there is nothing that separates a good collection with a GREAT collection.
Space Jams used to be that shoe for me...then I got them. I previously owned the playoffs but hooped in them and destroyed them in outdoor tournaments back in the day...so this pickup was just for nostalgia.
Still waiting for the Sport Blue 6 to finally retro.
