My Christmas Present- Jordan 11's Space Jam Edition

I remember when I was in middle/high school, all the kids at my school had the coolest kicks in the world. We were sporting uniforms so the only thing that we had freedom over was our kicks. I had some cool shoes, but they weren't as cool as all the Nike's that came our during that time.

Anyways, I remember when the Penny's came out, then the Air Max 97's, and Jordan 11's (this could possibly be in the wrong order) Oh the Jordan 11's! Possibly the best pair of Jordan's ever! I would've scooped up a pair when Nike released the Jordan 11+12 pack a while back, but I was torn between shoes and something else (I seriously don't remember what). Anyways, a few weeks back I was reading Freshness, and learned (a little too late) that they re-released the Jordan 11's. It wasn't just any re-release, it was going to be the "Space Jam" edition. The same exact pair that MJ worn in Space Jam.

I ebay-ed the shoe right away, found them in my size (thanks goodness), and watched. On December 26 at 1:30 PM, I was the proud owner of a pair of Jordan 11's Space Jam Edition. The price I paid $150 + shipping. These were shoes that I skipped out on once in my life and I wasn't willing to skip out on them again. I might not even sport them or take them out of the box, but if I ever become filthy rich, I will put them in a glass case along with my Penny's and Air Max 97's. There will be a plaque outside of the case saying "Shoes Amelia couldn't afford as a child"


Btw, these shoes have been known to increase in value. I wasn't sure how many were released, but all I could tell you is that it was pretty limited!
