ok so here's my rant about jordans. so those that know me know the love i have for shoes with the special emphasis on jordans. for those of you who dont, the quick run-down is i basically grew up watching MJ and he's simply the best. between watching him and being mentored about the shoe game by my cousin the love grew. it gets a lil deeper, J came into the league in 85, yours truley's birth year, and has released a signature (numbered) shoe every year since. so when i was 1 his first shoe came out, when i was 2 his second and so forth, so you see how it gets a lil more significant? ok lets move on so obviously up untill about highschool and my first job i wasnt able to afford my love and by that time i was way behind the game, so its been a constant drive of mine to somehow attain numbers 1-23 of the series. its a "mixed feeling" because he's hurting the kid! i mean he's dropping 1,2, maybe 3 pair a month that ya boy wants but is just not financially able to keep up with. i mean i know he doesnt hoop anymore and its strictly business for him at the point but ouch J! seriously its become a bill for me, theres: car, phone, school, and J's written in there as a necessity! now dont get me wrong cuz i love getting them and the day of i dont bat an eye as i decide i'm not going to eat for a week to get the newest ones. now the funny part to all this is with all gripes aside, my latest purchase was the first of many packages to be released this year (pictured above) and they came in a box that had on the side a letter to fans if you will from the man himself. the letter basically goes on to say thanks for being there all these years and as a treat to YOU i am releasing all 23 of my shoes in packages of 2 throguhout the year. so basically every month there will be 2 numbered signature shoes released. the shoes in the packages will together e equal to the number 23; so the 10's and 13's will come in a pacakge, the 2's and 21's and so forth. theres that half of me that is like this is it! heres my chance to finally have all 23! but then the other half is like umm where am i going to find $350 every month! ouch man ouch! and on top of that there all basically going to be red,black, and white! i love you man, but you're killing me!....all that said, see ya'll at finishline bright and early for the next pair :) whoo!
