How old are you now?Without question.
About to be 43 this month.How old are you now?
47…nice!“Do you see yourself still wearing Jordans when you’re in your late 50s, 60s?“
Yes. Most likely Jordan 1 Low Retro OG pairs, IVs, V, and VIs. I like collecting pairs, but can now also let them go, satisfied that I had them in my possession for a bit. But, a few years back I could buy and then decide if I wanted to keep cause prices always went up. Nowadays, if I realize I’m not going to wear a pair a few months later I lose money. Ex: Jordan 1 High True Blues, XIII Playoffs, White Navy VIs, Wizards III PE, etc. Just turned 47, and sneakers keeps me motivated to stay in shape so I can wear and pull off the style(s).
Hey man I’m happy for you! I’m 38 yrs old got my first J’s in 93 Playoff VIII’s and have been a shoe geek ever since! I’ve felt like I’m at that point so many times and something draws me back. It hasn’t even been a Jordan that does it either, I like the old Griffeys, Deions, Air Max Pluses, Trainer Max 91’s. The thing I get so mad over is the price hike on all the shoes, and the horrendous quality compared to the original pairs. Like you used to be able to ball in Jordan’s and even the first retro editions of the early 2000’s. I’m talking recess type balling and they didn’t fall apart! Now I worked never recommend J’s to be played in…unless maybe the current version. When sneakers blew up and Nike saw that people would pay regardless. That’s when I got a bitter taste in my mouth! Proud you are out and happy about it!If you could only keep five pairs in your collection, which five would they be?
Maybe because I been so into building my car I lost love for sneakers but here is what I been keeping busy with and damn this hobby is more expensive then sneakersMy previous car was a GT-R but sold it in 2018 to buy my house and got heavy back into sneakers but after kith unveiled the G82 I had to have one.

The styliest most comfortable (especially) daddish shoes are asics gel lyte 3 the split tongue is a gamechanger. I bought my dad a pair and hes 60 and they looked fresh on his old feet.I'm turning 50 next month, and I have made the move to Lebron 20s and Ja 1s because of the stability and overall comfort. I've slowly been selling off my Jordans on the used market for a while now. I will always keep my Jordan 5 Retro fire reds with the Nike Air on the back because those were my first ever back in 1990 as a senior in high school. Probably will never totally leave the game (I also have a fitted hat collecting addiction), and at no point will the wide-foot New Balance "Dad Shoes" be a part of my rotation, but I guess at some age, I will have to make an adjustment.
Also, I am finding myself not as excited about retro releases. Many of them are just too clunky and end of looking out of place and awkward. Sometimes the nostalgia takes over my senses. The Air Attack, Flight 89, Air Trainer 2, Air Trainer SC all seem like a good idea at the time, but then I never wear them.
How many?Haha u know how many times i said this

Yes. Bury me in my Concord XI’s while playing the Bulls pre-game song with the lights.“Do you see yourself still wearing Jordans when you’re in your late 50s, 60s?“
