When everyone and they're mama (literally :francis:) started rocking them. I remember when they started doing retros in 1999/2000 when I was in high school the shoes were like $100. You could walk in the store at anytime and buy your size with no problem. Hypebeasts got involved and started driving up prices and Nike followed suit drove the prices up at the same time using cheaper materials:mjlol:

I'm from the $125-150 Jordan era :salute:
Last pair of Jordan's I bought was the 2011 5s with the silver tongue. They were like $150 and I just walked into a footlocker on 69th st in upper Darby and got em
Last pair before that was 2001 space jams which I still have

When cacs got in the shoe game

When i was growing up cacs thought it was stupid to spend over 100 on some jordans

But once they jumped on the bandwagon somewhere around 2008

You bugging. white people always had Jordans, they wore them like regular shoes and messed them up thats why you didnt notice.
