Blog 1: Jeremiah's sneaker collection
Ever since I started making money, I started to take an interest in shoes. More specifically sneakers. My whole life I didn’t have a lot of money. So, shoes, or nice ones I couldn't afford. But now I make money. I’m very careful of what I spend and still save money, but I like to give myself a present sometimes because I worked for it. I like the idea of looking cool or I guess fashion. My favorite is shoes. My favorite type of sneakers, because sneakers are comfortable and look the coolest. Here are my go-to shoes I wear.
Air Jordan 1 Mid Rainbow
These Jordan’s have been in my shoe rotation the longest and are the first pair of nice-looking shoes I’ve ever bought. I bought them at the Fashion Fair mall at the beginning of last school year. I paid $125 for them brand new. This shoe now is worth around 150-200. I think this shoe has the most meaning to me because I always wanted Jordan 1’s before but obviously I didn’t have money. I didn't do any studying before I walked in the store, but I already knew what shoes I wanted. So happenly, these were the last Jordan 1’s they had in stock so good thing I went that certain time.
Air Jordan 1 Mid Black-Grey-Navy
So, as I said, Jordan 1’s was a shoe I always wanted and are favorite. So, two is better than one, so I got another pair. Obviously different color way and this one was cheaper. In fact, these ones were used so I only paid $50 for them. Pretty good deal considering they are worth around $135 dollars. I got them during this summer, and I love them. See not all Jordan 1 shoes have the same texture. This shoe is made with more of a cotton and fabric texture which makes it more comfortable. I believe it’s my most comfortable shoe.
Air Jordan 3 Mid Black-Grey-Blue
This shoe I didn’t pay for. I guess you can say it was a gift. My friend had them given to him, but they didn't fit him, they were too big. However, these shoes were my size, so he gave them to me. They were kind of in bad condition when given to me but I'm a shoe doctor and I fixed them to the best of my ability, and I think they are alright now. The shoe in the best condition is worth $170 but I got them for free so good for me.
Air Jordan Flight 45
This is the last shoe from my rotation and probably the most used. How I got them was sad. I was at my friend's house during the summer, and he had these $450 shoes abandoned in his room all ruined and untouched. These shoes are worth $450, and they were in horrible condition, he gave them to me because he never used them and me as a shoe doctor fixed them, and they look brand new now. $450 shoes for free. All I had to do was fix them but that was horrible, they were really dusty and completely misused. I saved them and I think I wear them the most because they all mostly black and black is my favorite color. This is my most popular shoe for me.
