Any Air Jordan shoe geeks out there?

Once read that it cost $12 to make a pair of Jordans...let that sink in.

capitalism. supply and demand.

Yeah, what's the deal with New Balance being the new "in" shoe? I like shoes that look cool and those do not...to me, they'll always be the shoes that old people wore in '90s.

Kawhi plus comfort.

I wrote 3 lines of code today and make ~$50/hour (if I only work 40 hours), the market is the market and people like what they like.

What sizes?

I'll double-check tonight. 11 or 11.5.

Slave labor helps keep that cost down!

I'm hoping for a re-release of the Dream Team 7's soon. I'm not a huge fan of that silhouette but it'd be a cool pair to own.

"Slave labor" like the "amateur" athletes who wore the shoes for years so their coaches could get big payments from the shoe companies.

One of those groups has a choice to participate. The other does not.
But, back to the topic at hand!

By the way, for those of you that don't know, you can go to Nike.com and customize Air Force 1s (the original Air Jordan style). They have different versions that have different color choices.

Unfortunately the versions with the good colors sell out quickly. A few weeks ago they had a customized version in low that had the original Gym Red color so you could recreate the original AJs but they sold out quick.

I was able to customize these on a different version before they sold out.

I have always wanted a pair of Air Jordan 6. They were the first Air Jordans that I can remember kids wearing in school.

I had a pair of the 1993 Air Force Highs that I loved.

I bought a pair of these Retro 6s. They are damn comfortable.


Looking at a pair of the Jumpman MVPs (mix of 6, 7, & 8).

My kids have been begging for Jordan shoes since last year, so they got their first pairs for Christmas. This year, they had to get new Jordan’s for school shoes. I think it’s kind of cool that they are into wearing Jordan’s since I did when I was a kid, but it’s getting pretty darn expensive.
