Q1

So I’m actually a really big shoe fanatic, and sneakers are near the top of my favorite interests list. This week, the “grape” color way for the Jordan 5’s dropped, and they were a big hit. This week, the 9’s drop in a black and blue color way for $120. I’m not really a big fan of either of these specific shoes but either way that’s what’s going on recently. The CP3 6 playoff edition shoes dropped two weeks ago, and I picked up the Neo edition. I’m actually wearing them right now believe it or not.  I’m pretty sure that besides the Glaser brothers, no one else in this town has the same shoe obsession that I do. Jordan started in 1985, when MJ started playing. Every year since, a new shoe got released that Jordan wore. We got to number 23, and that’s when Michael stopped playing. I have only ever owned the 7’s. The best-selling pair ever are the 11’s, and the low remix of the shoe comes out in June. Since 1998, every shoe has been pretty ugly and not as successful especially in the remixes. That means from 14 and on. I like to pretend that they were never made. If I were to rank the shoes,1-14, they would go in this order:

10

13

4

8

7

6

11

5

12

The Jordan brand also sponsors some NBA basketball players, and comes out with a new shoe each year for Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony each year. Melo is in year 7 of his shoe game, and Chris Paul is in year 5. Both of these guys dropped 2 new shoes this season, one for the beginning and another for the start of the playoffs, I’ll insert a picture of their shoes as well.
