Air Jordan 4 Classic Green

Hello class, today I will be talking about one of my 'holy grails" that I own. The Air Jordan 4 Classic Green was released on July 24, 2004 and were never released again. These shoes were priced at $110.00 when they first released, now if you find these shoes being re sold in great condition, they'll go for about $450.00. Crazy right?! These shoes are dressed in an all white leather and metallic jumpman on the heel and green shoe lace hoops. Over time these shoes will yellow around the tongue and the sides, and the mid sole can crumble and become useless. I was able to find these pair of shoes in an amzing condition. The owner only wore them 2 times, and were not yellowing and the price was amazing. The owner was asking $240 and that's a great price for these shoes. I'm hoping they re release these shoes.

Adidas Superstar: The Dark Side and The Light Side

Hello class, today I will be getting away from Air Jordans and talking about two very rare and collectible shoes. Today is also a perfect day to talk about them since it is May 4, which for Star Wars fans, it's "May The Fourth Be With You". The Adidas Superstar: The Dark Side and The Light Side are two shoes that came out in 2007 for Star Wars fans. One shoe is all black with a red sole to represent Darth Vader, and the other shoe is all white with a green sole to represent Yoda. The unique thing about these shoes is that they are packaged like the old action figures were! There are rumors that there were only 800 to 8,000 pairs made, no one really knows the actual amount. These are great shoes for collectors and Star Wars fans.

"What The" Mercurial Superfly Soccer Cleats

Hello class, today I'm doing a little twist on the sneaker talk. I'm going to be talking about a soccer boot (cleat). The Mercurial Superfly was introduced in 1998 and gained attention because of its sleek, track style spike design. This boot was made for speed and movement with and without the ball. The "What The" Mercurial Superfly Soccer Cleats consists of the 18 most popular colorways of this cleat. There are only going to be 3,000 pairs available and will be priced at $300.00. They will release May 5, 2016. This cleat comes with a bag that shows the most iconic Mercurial Superflys to come out.

Kenny G aka The Perfect Pair

Hello class, today I will be getting away from the actual and talk about a huge sneaker collector. Kenny G aka The Perfect Pair has an extensive sneaker collection worth more than $700,000. He's 38 years old and lives in California where he owns a casino. He says his favorite sneakers are the White Cement 3's and 4's but he has a lot of shoes that are very rare to get. He has the Oregon Duck 3's and 4's which were only for the Oregon players. He also has a pair of Eminem 4's, which were only for Eminem and close friends. He has a pair of Air Jordan 13's and 14's that are signed by the Jordan himself and Bulls coach Phil Jackson. He is ridiculed because there are other top sneaker collectors that say he "bought" his collection. Not too long ago he was just wearing vans, now he has some of the top shoes out there. The Perfect Pair pays no mind to the talk and continues to do what he loves.
