I've been collecting Air Jordans since 1989. I stopped buying them in 2000 for a good while(7 yrs or so)due to the fact that it was not fun anymore. When you see a 16 yr old kid with Jordans that were made before he was born acting like a big Jordan collector, and having never experienced watching Jordan and saving up for months to get a new pair of Jordans when they are just bought for them, It turned me off big time. I have picked up a few though in the last few yrs to add to the collection. I will say that I can be considered an "OG" collector. I started collecting Jordans before anyone ever thought it was cool. I remember when I was in HS, that by the time I graduated(1995), I had a different pair of Jordans for everyday of the month. It was unheard of then. I used to have people call me Jordan, or follow me throughout the hallways just to see which ones I had on that day. Anyway, these are pics of my collection that I have scattered all over my house. These pics were taken a few yrs ago, so the collection has grown. Enjoy
Loving the III's man. I've definitely taken a similar path as you, but nearly on the same scale. I had probably about 20-25 pairs after high school, but after my sense of style changed going into high school I just didn't like wearing them anymore. Plus the entire Jordan brand has been so whored out in the past decade that I don't even see the appeal in them now. Anything after the 16's is just hideous and plus with all of the re-re-re-re-re-re-retros and mash ups they have sorta lost their cool factor IMO.
But with that said i still did hold on to the ones I liked the most. I think I have a couple pairs of XI's and maybe some other ones randomly.
