My first pair was the 01 black cement 3s. I remember waiting in line at amazing feets with my boy and his big bro. Nothing like it is today. 100 dollars even. Good times.
My first pair was the low white and blue 2s in 04. Nothing too crazy heat wise, but finally my mom bought me some Js after missing out on a lot of heat for years.
I've always kept my kicks fresh, but with those I didn't know how to really maintain Js so I threw away the box and basically turned those into the beaters a couple of years later. It yellowed, paint chipped and the sole eventually separated so I had to obviously throw it away a couple of years back. Pretty neat though, I wound up finding a ds pair with the OG box on eBay for only 40 dollars back in November. 20 dollars cheaper than retail back in 04 lol. Wound up winning the bid and I felt like I came full circle at that point. Lol.
