spizikes yo!





i lusted after these shoes for a long, long time. i saw them first on a youtube clip of damon dash's sneaker collection(show me your sneaker collection vol. 12). i had full faith that they were deadstock -  unattainable. then i went to the foot locker in munich one saturday, i saw them on display for 140 euros. i thought i could pull out money and get them the next day, not knowing that everything in munich is closed on a sunday. i was due to be in berlin on monday. so, i had 2 options : 


a) catch a 39 euro, 9 hour bus to berlin leaving at 9.45am or
b) pay 115 euros for a train leaving at 2pm


obvs the first option was the way to go, HOWEVER.. foot locker only opened at 10am. so i had to pay about 70 euros extra to go by train just so i could buy my first pair of jordans ever! i managed to hustle the price of the shoes down to 127 euros though:D i love everything about these sneakers, they are my most bad ass pair. the varsity colourway is tasty as fuck, the shoes are a re-release from 1985, back when the campaign featured michael jordan and mars blackman(spike lee). do you know do you know do you know? air jordans air jordans air jordans!
