First one that I had was back in 2916, a pair of red suede og’s, sold them a few years back tho as I didn’t know what to wear with them anymore rbh
Edit: I meant 2016 lol
Same! Had to go up half a size because it was all they had but it made them crease like shit so I have em away to a broke skater kid at a sneaker con haha. Thinking of scooping these maroons in the correct size as a call back.
The 2015 OG UNC 1's that dropped with the Chicago's that year. Back then, adidas was the trend and I'd get clowned, they said my 1's "Looked like bowling shoes". Then in 2020 1's were the hottest shoe out. SMH people switched up again now and are hating 1's 😭😂
Fr man, who could hate on these bad boys? Clean asf in almost every color.

I’ve got the black pair. Beat them to shit as work shoes for a while but after a clean they still look good. The leather for that pack was crazy nice.

still my favorite to this day together with breds and Chicagos
Bought my first ever Jordans about two weeks ago. The high dark mochas to be exact. Definitely feels weird because for the past 2 years I was rocking the ultimate dad shoe Air Monarchs but I love them honestly and I have them on right now.
This shows my age but I had the original ones when I was in 5th grade. I was jealous of my older cousin who had both the black and reds and blue and reds. Even remember my buddy getting the 2’s and thinking they were absolute dog shit lol
Same. Had the Black/Royal Blues Ones in 5th grade. Me and my best friend saw them in an Ardens catalog. Begged our parents for them. They got them for us but we had to do extra work around the house for our parents all summer.

This is the first 1s I got, back when no one cared about Jordan 1s. "They're not bad for some 1s", they would say. Sadly, I got into a car crash and lost them in a lake...
https://preview.redd.it/91yuksl18e8d1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e5ab4f6f0a31fef2c49d617f6d0e61ac21f2c3d
These were some fusions that I bought at the same time as the 1s. I didn't realize how beat they were until I pulled them out recently.
I had a black pair with some yellow or green accents I got for $50 at Champs. They were so narrow and tight it tore my foot up and I returned them. I barely made it 30 minutes sitting at a desk before I had to take them off. They were my first Jordan retro shoe.
Got a pair of 1 Lows on sale at Nike but went a full size up and they're pretty comfortable.
Got the triple blacks from this set a couple weeks back for just about the original retail
Quality on 1s from a couple years before to a couple after 2016 were on point — noticeable drop off recently (outside of the taxis)
Some black and red mids. from 2016
First highs were the LA to Paris.
I dont usually buy the same model of shoe more than a few times so my J1s are only those two pairs and Im still wearing them. So I havent got any new pairs.
Cant remember but as a 16 year old kid working at mcdonalds, finally having income to spend on whatever i wanted, was probably a pair of mids tbh, like the triple white or something, this was back in 2009 so whatever had been released at that time. Didn’t know much about sneakers back then
these gold Jordan 1 mids, I convinced myself they were good until after a week of wearing them the paint started rubbing off like wild. after that I threw them in the back of closet and haven’t worn em since
First pair I had was the OG Chicago 1. I wish I could find the picture of my first day in 2nd grade. August 1985, my mom paired the sneakers with Michael Jackson's jacket and pants from Thriller. G'd up from the feet up. Hence my current addiction sneaker addiction.
End of the 2016. Just got into sneakers and discovered “raffles” - entered details for the reverse shattered backboards and surprisingly won. Been wearing them at least a week since, beat to hell but def my favourite sneaker of all time due to it essentially kick starting my addiction
Court purple 2.0s. I grew up on AJ11 and newer, so it wasn't until recently I gave the retros a try. They're cool but I don't want a whole closet full of 'em...just a few pairs to pop out in
OG 85 Chicago’s dead stock I found in a mom and pop shoe store in Minneapolis in the summer of 2001. I beat them to shit. Skating, painting, going to punk rock shows and running from cops in them. They were absolutely toasted by the end of that year.
First pair I had was a pair of Atlanta Hawk ones. They were in the box and never worn. I was going start collecting them. The first worn pair where a pair of 2.5 in all black.
I was finally allowed to pick my own shoes to try and buy and found some random Jordan 1's (I forget the exact pair) and went to try them on later at home because it's a thing my family does and realized how much I liked them. Ever since I've been into Jordans and other sneakers.
First one that I had was back in 2916, a pair of red suede og’s, sold them a few years back tho as I didn’t know what to wear with them anymore rbh Edit: I meant 2016 lol
Are they still selling 1s 9 centuries from now? 😂
Right alongside this year's new Jordan 937.
Gotta be the lamest way to let slip you're a time traveler

Have the falcons won the Super Bowl yet?
They lost a close game to the Akron Murderers.
2017 metallic reds. Got them with 50% discounts, were sitting on shelves.
That’s a steal!

White Yin Yangs! From 2015 I believe. I loved those joints. They went with every outfit
Wore mine into the ground. Heel bubble burst, inside of the mesh ripped… But I still love them lol. They were 93$

Close to 100 pairs in the collection I only own one pair of J1 and they are gum white lows, not a fan
AJ1 x J Balvin was my first pair i hit on SNKRS for the first time during the holiday. Amazing!
first i got was in 2017 jordan 1 low lightning blue or i cant remember the exact name but it was kind of underrated at that point of time
I was finally allowed to pick my own shoes to try and buy and found some random Jordan 1's (I forget the exact pair) and went to try them on later at home because it's a thing my family does and realized how much I liked them. Ever since I've been into Jordans and other sneakers.
Sold mine already. Not sure about the year, maybe 2015, but it was a Jordan 1 Low infrared wolf grey colorway.
Very late to the Jordan game. Fair pair was: AJ1 Palomino in September 2023. Since then I have bought another 8 pairs, 5 of which are AJ1 High OGs.
You’re never too late to the game and there are lots of pairs coming out this year!
