My First Pair of Jordan's

Me and Jordan's go a long way. It was never meant to be. Back in 1994 I believe my late grandfather went on a US trip and I asked him to bring me Jordan's or the Nike Air Max CB's. He brought me 1990 Air Force(They were the Rookie shoes of the damn Admiral) and paid around 100 Euros for them. He said the Jordan's were ugly and looked like climbing shoes(well, they were but I wanted the Jordan VIII not the IX anyway, the IX were not out yet in Vienna) but it was still a huge rip off. That was the one chance I had of getting Jordan's and what I learned was that you should never ask a 80 year old man to bring you basketball shoes, because the poor man doesn't know about it.
Then there were the Jordan XI...where the original's looked like ballet shoes with that shiny thing around it, but there was a cooler version of them too, the low ones. My cousin had them in black...awesome shoe!
Anyway...my old basketball shoes, my Converse All Star retros I had for 11 years now went bust yesterday, or at least one pair went.





So I had to buy new basketball shoes today, since I'm getting back in John Starks mode(had a decent game yesterday. We lost, but I'm getting my swagger back and the opposition was simply better. But I'm shooting better lately than ever).
I went to Footlocker looking for Jordan's, since I boycott Adidas shoes, don't really like And1 and Reebok's are hard to find in Vienna and found them.
Rashid claims that he could get them cheaper from Ahmed, but I could get them cheaper somewhere else too and since Rashid lives in Paris...yeah, great!
Eitherway, can't wait to put them on and play...
