I also can't change when I was born. I'm almost sure I would have started collecting a long time ago if I was older.
On a side note I don't think you have to look up to Mike to be a true collector. A true collector (imo) is somebody who loves the shoes, regardless of the reason. I think Mike was a great athlete but I don't idolize him. I collect because I liked the shoes and i have great memories of me wearing them. That shouldn't make me any less of a colector than somebody who watched Mike play and do great things in the shoes.
