    I've never had a pair, but I have a friend here who is a sneakerhead and wears different versions all the time, and today he's sporting the High Pine green ones, and I have to say, they look pretty good.

    I'd love a pair of black and red 11s. Five-hundred fucking dollars.

    None. I played basketball — and stopped playing — before they came out. And I was a leather Converse hoops shoe fan.

    But I worked with a young guy years ago who bought every version that came out, put them in his closet and never wore them. He, obviously, was (or still is, for all I know) betting on mint Jordans only going up in value. Seemed silly to me to buy shoes and not wear them, but he's probably worth a lot more than me now.

    That's the only pair I ever owned as well.

    The amount on money I spent on sneakers as a percentage of my earnings in my late teens-early 20s was simply moronic.

    I was probably 17 or 18 when the first Air Jordans came out. I never had a pair. I played basketball, too, and had a couple of sweet pairs of these.

    Never had a pair as I thought they were ugly as sin. I am 56 and played a ton of ball until my early/mid 40s. I never felt the need to spend exorbitant amounts of money on shoes. I always had good shoes but didn't need the latest or greatest. Normally went with last years models.

    My high school was Nike but we didn’t buy Airs as they were beyond the reach of most folks on our team.
