How crazy were Jordan shoes in the 80s?

I prefer 5 and 6's over 3 and 4. Jordan 6 Sport Blue is probably my all time favorite shoe. Its the first Jordan I ever saw in real life and my uncle rocked the shyt out of em.

Hadnt seen anyone rock a Jordan until the 10s came out cuz shyt was just too expensive. Everybody had them grant hill filas tho

How much did they cost back then?
In the 80s J's we're about $100. In the 90s they started creeping up from $120 too around $185 from what I can remember. The 4s were the first shoes remember really wanting, and the only ones that had them were the dope boys around me. They used to come to our backyard to hoop all the time and my steppops used to be the neighborhood mechanic. I just remember looking at the shoes ask the time thinking how one day I would get me a pair. We was too broke to get them and even if we had it they still wouldn't let me get them cause nikkas was getting killed over them. Still haven't bought myself a pair of 4s til this day:mjcry:

I was wearing kids size and I remember them being $100

I remember my cousin in Minnesota bought himself a pair of Olympic 7s and got me a pair also. I don’t know if he waited inline or something but he always wanted them.
