It’s surprisingly not often I buy stuff, but a package came in the mail today from an eBay auction I won on a whim last week…
Oh yes, some classic Nike Air Jordan VI retros*… I know you’re not jealous, but I’ll pretend you are.
Actually, I used to own an original white/red pair of these back in the day, it cost me my entire christmas money to get them as Air Jordans were stunningly expensive, luckily this pair came in at under $100, but only just. Anyways, classic shoes, in more ways than one, classic design, the geek in me knows they are actually Tinker Hatfield designed, plus these are from the 1990/1991 season, the first year that Michael Jordan won an NBA championship, lotta history in these here boots, but I digress… Right now Robyn is all like “you bought a pair of shoes?”
Is it sad that a pair of 16 year old shoes can make me happy?
* = As these are not the original 1990 shoes, merely reissued retros, there are some minor design changes, can’t have ’em all

SWEET!!
I had a pair of white Jordan V’s… STILL my favourite ever bball boots (I have a pair of Air Jordans at the moment but… nah, just not the same)
That’s what I’m talkin about!
Jordans design has really gone downhill since his last retirement, the ones that came out in 2004 were a joke, a bad joke at that…
But yeah, the glory days from 1989 to 1993, that’s what I’m talkin about!
Actually, I have to say my Air Jordan VI’s is prolly my favourite trainer ever, even better than the legendary Nike Air Max 95’s
You are a bad bad man.
Look what you made me do!
YES! That’s what I’m talkin about!
