Category: Air Jordan
My first pair of jordans are the playoff 8′s!
My favorite will have to be the 3 & 4 because they are simole but still fresh and they looked great in any colorway!
My first pair of Js were the OG Black Cement IVs.
Favorite has to be the Space Jams XIs.
Because even today is the Greatest Shoe ever made, and it looked good on MJ’s feet in the movie… lol
First pair were the red/white 8′s…my dad bought when he was servin in the gulf war and was over in iran/iraq….my fav jordan is the carmine 6′s! I just love the colorway and can’t get enough of the shoe!!
my firt pair of air jordans that
i bought were my black cat threes.
My favorite pair are the Aqua VIII because of the colors on the shoe are so different plus they look fly wen u have the right clothes on.
my first pair of jays were the black cat IVs
and my favorite pair of jays are the taxi XIIs
my 1st pair of J’s were tha white n colombia 11s. I got them when they 1st retro’d back in 01 i believe. I spent my entire Mickey D’s pay check on them! I ended up donating them to some shoe drive my girls moms was having at her job cuz they did that yellowing sole thing. My fav joints is still tha 11s but in tha concord colorway.
Awww mayne bringin me back.
Well right now im 17 but so im not tht old but my first j’s were the “OG” Taxi 12′s yup an now i got em again from the CDP.
But my fav kicks would have to be the
Ait Jordan 17+’s (Copper’s) my mom got em for me as an early christ mas present back when i was in 6th grade now im graduated an i got me another pair. i liked them cause they had the croc skin on it an i thought tht copper part was crazy. i love em.
my first pair were some fire red 5′s i used to think i was the ish when i rocked them
my favorite pair of jordans are the space jams 11s they are the best jordans made very clean n fresh and i cant wait for the retros this year hopefully they are goin to be good quality
lol i said fire red 4′. i meant 5′s!
my first pair i remember was og obsidian 12′s when i was in grade school, found them on sale for 25 dollars at a local sporting goods store, that now would not dream of having jordan releases
my favorite pair is concord xi’s cleanest shoe ever imo, i love xi’s and they are up there as far as favorite model but the concord color and sleakness makes it my favorite pair
well my 1st pair of jordans we the AF1/9 fusions
and i think there DOPER thn every jordan every released..
LMFAO
my 1st air jordan the space jams. I remember mj was wearing it in the movie space jams and i knew i had to beg my parents to get me those shoes.
Of course my favorite air jordans of all time has to be the Space jams. Absolutely beautiful!!!
My first pair of Jordans were the 1994 White/Red/Black Air Jordan I Highs. They were a gift to me by my uncle and I greatly enjoyed running around in them as a kid and playing anything from basketball to soccer in them. My favorite Jordans are hands down the Air Jordan Vs in the Fire Red colorway. The reflective tongue with the white leather upper all on top of that crisp black mid-sole and red “teeth” are all that I need to say.
My first pair of Jordans were the black,white and red retro Vs. My favourite pair of all time would have to be the original Cement 4s because they are such a clean shoe and i will always be on the hunt to find a pair.
my first pair og J’s were the black cat 3′s!
my fav pair lookwise are the 5′s or 11′s, but feelwise the 3′s def is my fav(white,red)
My first pair of jordans i had wwere the fire red 5s when i was like 4or5 i think. My mom got them from macy or sumthing and i have a picture of me wearing them when i was with santa hahaha.
But my Favorite pair or jordans would have to be the taxi 12s considering that it was my basketball shoe when i was younger and the patient leather 1s gold and black colorway. I still have my gold and black ones but they are trashed considering i had them in high school i did;nt take care of my shoes back then. Got copped for 25 bucks at the Air Force Base as a birthday gift from moms. Man shes the reason i am a shoe head. After she got me those i went out got a job when i was 14 and went on buying more retro 1s. But i still hope to find the patients in size 11 for a decent price someday….

My first pair i can remember owning were the white and black 9s back in the 3rd grade, and you couldnt tell me nothin! My favorites are the cement threes, probably the cleanest shoe ever
My first pair of J’s were the Nu retros. My favorite pair are the black and red 1′s. They’re the perfect combination of simplicity and style.
Damn, ya make me feel like a fuc*in O.G! My first pair of Jordans was the ORIGINAL 1′s! I had the ones that G-ROC was holding up in the video, when he said “now if U had these then your ah true head” ( White & Matalic Blue)! I’ll never forget it, I was in the second grade! But my favorite if I had to pick one is the IV. That fuc*in NET on the side got me!
my first pair of j’s were the original “last Shot” XIV and i was 8 yrs old wen my mom brought them home for havin a good report card, i was overjoyed when i saw them in the “justforfeet” bag…but these were my favorite because of the fact that they were my first ones the design of them (the ferrari theme)which is my favorite car…and i just appreciated them so much.
My first pair of Jays Was The GRape Jordan 5s when i was like 5 years old. It isalso my favorite for the fact that, when i went to the philippines there werent many real sneaker spots where i lived. My uncles were actually very against fake sneakers so we had to look everywhere to search for sneakers. Both me nd my dad werent exactly the sandal kind of guys and our sneakers were basically done when we were in the philippines. Long story short, it took us forever just to find a pair of grape jordan 5s to bring back home and wear.

Ever Since then I ahve been so in love with the sneaker, and have wanted a DS pair in my life. unfortunately i havent come across a pair for a good price yet :/
My first pair of jordans were Air Jordan 9′s IX Retro White / Grey.
My favorite pair of jordans are the 11s (SPACE JAM)ofcourse and the air jordan taxi 12′s
First pair was OG taxi XII when I was 7.
My all time favorite Jordan is the white/red XII because it was the only pair of XII that I never found in kid sizes when I we a little tyke.
My first pair of jordans i owned were the air jordan original 13s black varsity red a classic chicago bulls color, this made me want to collect jordan kicks.My favorite pair of air jordans were the air jordan 10s retro black/white.These were the hardest out of all the 2005 Air Jordan X’s even though it was basic and plain. But it was it is an original color-way that is versatile.
first j’s were tha retro 8′s and my fav or prob the 11 or 5′s
Oh man, the memories. First pair was OG white V’s. That reflective tounge broke many-a-necks & the 1st ice soles. Whew!! I donated them to a charity, so someone in need was laced. Fav’s are XI’s. The patent leather is just soooo sick. Formal sneaks
III’s and XIII’s are also amongst fav’s. J’s are like Lays…(can’t have just one).
My first pair of Jordans was the olympic 7s for my church basketball league, my parents bought them for me and there was no separating me from those shoes. Ever since then Jordans were my passion. My favorite pair of Jays has to be the bordeaux 7s- such a classy colorway and such a rare shoe. It has yet to been retroed (but maybe soon) and it is just one of the greatest shoes of all time…
My first pair of Jays were the ’99 blk/Infrared IV’s. My all time favorite Jordan’s will have to be the North Carolina XI’s second will have to be the Carmine VI’s.
My first pair of jordans were the patent leather carolina 1s. Then my favorite jordans are the laney 5s. I jus feel that it was really an underrated shoe. Like everyone says their favorites r bred or columbia 11s or blk cement 3s. The laney 5s r jus unique in the sense that u don’t see them the time n there was a time when they were on sale cus no one wanted them. Then now they’re startin to come back. Don’t ride the hype ppl… That’s my story… Outro
my first pair of air jordans were the space jam 11′s i remember when my brother was trying to get a pair and the store did not have his sz so he tried to get a smaller sz thinking he could fit in them and he couldnt so he handed them down to me…pure luck how i got those but i hooped in them when i got them so they are not in the best shape lol……my fav jordan would have to be the space jam 11 they are just so smooth and clean, feel great on my feet and they were my first jordan. i have a great deal of respect for this shoe and i hope i can get another pair when they come out this winter.
my first pair was the carolina 5′s yes im new to the shoe game.
the pair i have always wanted is the cool grey 11s. they just look perfect to me…
My 1st Pair of Jordans were the black/red/white 1s the one that were in the old love new love pack My Favorite pair would have to be the carmines and the carolina 5s
Bulls Also won Today!!!
My first pair of Jordans were the White/Red VI’s.
My favorite pair of jordans is the retro 10 because they have a nice solid comfortable feel.
The first pair of jorans i ever got would tecnically be a pair of infant footies, but for sneakers it would be a white one white team shoe. my favorite air jordan of all time is the air jordan v(5) grape, i love the unique grape and emrald green and white color way on this shoe with the first ever clear (ice) sole to be used on a sneaker and the amazing hightop look that still is a mid cut with the flat toebox and spikes on the side with the big tounge cannot be beat.

My first pair of J’s were the 9′s, white/black and red…Loved ballin’ in the shoes and even though a bunch of peep’s(including my bro) made fun of them cause they looked like boxing shoes, I didn’t care one bit. When they got re-released I copped 3 pair and til this day my bro is always asking why I didn’t get him a pair cause he knows they’re too fresh. And my answer is always, why do you want a pair of boxing shoes…classick!!!!
My first pair was 14 black/red, the my favorite is true flight
My first pair of Jordans were the BMP 1′s and from there it was KREAM.
My favorite pair would have to be the true blue 3′s because the 3′s are my favorite and the colorway makes it even more dope.
my first pair: aqua 8
favorite pair: firered III.. the best shoe in the world.. have them in babysize for my kids..
My first pair of Jordans were the black/cement IIIs in 1988. They will always be my favorite Jordans because they were “uneek”. I will always have a disdain for Jordan Brand because they replaced the Nike Swoosh logo with the Jumpman on their retros.
1. My first pair of jordans were some Jordan teams in like kindegarten. I wanted the 13s but my mom said no, I was unhappy but at least I got some jays.
2. Favorite Pair has to be the OG Playoff 13s. Best 13 color way ever.
1. My First pair of Jordan is the aqua 8′s i was in 3rd grade in Palau its in the pacific island,and it took 3 weeks to arrive when my dad ordered it in eastbay. It was worth waiting for….
2. My Favorite pair of J’s will be the 12 black/red all the way
my first pair was air jordan 12 low white/black/taxi
favorite pair: Olympic 7 fell in love when i first seen em my girl at the time of the retro worked at finish line almost got her fired tryin to get em. lol
still love her and will always love them
My first Jordans were the XII’s in Red/Black.
My favorite Jordans are the Playoff XIV’s because MJ hit his famous “Last Shot” vs the Jazz in the 1998 Finals wearing those.
1. My first pair of #J’s were 19′s, I could’ve copped 15, 16, 17, or 18 but personally I didn’t like their style at the time.
2. As for my favorite Jordans, it would have to be the 1′s in Black and Red. They’re classic kicks and if I could I would rock’m everyday.
My first pair were the original 1′s when they first came out. (Think I just gave my age away. lol!) and…..My favorite pair is and will always be the original J1′s. I love the classic look and all the types of c/w they coming out with as of late. You can never ever go wrong with a pair of J1′s…and that’s all she wrote “What’s Up Doc?”
my first pair of Jordans were the 1′s. I was 4yrs old maybe 5 with them on in a family BBQ…To keep it real, mow that I look back, I looked SUPER COUNTRY in the picture. No cut or shape-up and I looked extra dirt, but theshoegame was dope was hell.
Now my favorite pair in the world are the black cement 3′s! I’m serious when i speak on them and about them. I would rather take a damn bullet before i give them up. I have even pair of 3′s but those black cement joints are straight butter! I had the 88 release, 01, and now CDP release as well. My 2001 release were like crazy special to me and one day my father got hold to them and lets just say, when i saw him in them and the damage that was done, we…excuse me, I didnt speak to him for a month or 2! I know I’m savage central, cause dude is the reason for me, but excuse my french, F*CK THAT…I LOVE THEM! My brother found them for me and I told him, I dont care what the price was…if you dont get them, this friendship is over and I meant it…I’m
a animal for them. Finally… it was some guy name Tinker(i love you) that saved nike by making that sneaker…if it was for him, MJ would have gone to ADIDAS and Lord know what would have happen. So…My next son will be named Tinker in honor of my sneaker Savior…Peace ya’ll!
First pair all white lowtop II’s
Favorite Pair any pair of V’s why cause the came out in 89 the year i was born
Blue Cheese, that’s some real stuff bruh! much respect! btw, the 3′s are my 2nd favorite Jordan shoe. when i got my pair of fire red 3′s from ISS a while back, i was instantly in love and i wore them EVERYWHERE! literally reading almost all of these responses motivates me to work hard to be on the level with big name sneakerheads out there, and i know that’s it’s a lot of work, but anything and everything is possible.
