I was in the 7th Grade when they first came out.....1985. I do not remember how much they cost cause my mom bought them. I do remember that my feet were so small that mine were called Sky Jordans. I also had a pair of Winners Choice fake Jordans before I got the real things.

I think I must remember them on sale. One year I was going to buy a pair at the sportster for $32 but my brother told me Dad would beat my butt for spending that kind of money on shoes. I settled for a pair of $10 spud webb pony's.

 

WALMART SHOES DO NOT LAST WORTH A #### unless you buy the rubber boots.

I'm saying $55-60.

 

 

 

I agree with squirmee and I believe he had the mullet to match. Squirmee was a huge Jordan and Magic fan back in the day. He also did a mean SNL-Eddie Murphy- "Buckwheat" impersonation, so I have been told.

:whistle:

Cat91 and pistolwhipped are both right. Father and son definitely had the matching mullets. I can't say to much either. I got my mom to splurge for the "canvas" Jordan's and got laughed off of my school bus. Cat91, if you remember back then I referred to myself as Air J. My prowess on 8-foot goals is legendary on the neigborhood courts of Whitehouse. Those were truly the "good ole days".

I bought them in oct 86 for 7th grade basketball. I think they were 75 dollars. I read that the card that came with them of jordan dunking on a playground goal recently sold for 2000 dollars. I still have mine but it is packed away.

You know my rule- You have a three headfake limit and then I am going to clobber you no matter what. Although, lately you have been too scared to show up on Sunday afternoons anyway. But I understand, that's a long way to drive just to get rolled up. ;)
