Jordan Retro Class of 2001

Like many a proclaimed "Sneaker Head" (Ugh) I am (or at least have been) an avid supporter of the Jordan Retro releases. I seriously probably could have purchased and paid for a luxury SUV with my 7-8 year Jordan Brand monthly payment plan.

So I was asking myself why it seems like I can afford to buy any Jordan retro now as opposed to being a senior in college in 2001 when I began to cop. Was it that I was making much less money then??? Well yeah, thats part of it, but the other part is that so many great retros were coming out in 2001-02, that I seriously contemplated scapping college and moving into street pharmacueticals to scoop all these great kicks. Maybe I could just pumped on campus, eh?

These days, Jordan Brand direspects us by trying to make us belive that these uninspired colorways and themes are worth the 100 plus they are asking on the black and silver box. Just to let you know I'm not just "hating" or on a "bring back the good ole days" kick, I'm going to post the cream of the Class of '01. I dare anyone to show me a year with better retros...



Cool Grey I's...run you about $500 now


White 11's...so sweet


The foundation of the Retro new colorways...Cool Grey 11s...finding a DS pair is next to impossible


My personal fav of all time, OG III colorway, with the Nike on the back


BRED 1 Black Toes One of the best Jordans made...run you bout $400-450 now


White/Navy 1's were a classic retro as well


True Blue IIIs...facing off against a 2009 retro


BRED 11's that everybody went nuts for in the Dec CDP
