In Order To Collect Jordan Shoes, He Specially Went To The Shoe Store As A Shop Assistant.

"In fact, I'm not a basketball shoe collector, I can only count as a basketball shoe collector, because I am far from a real collector."

"Lele" is 24 years old and works in a chain laundry. He is a very spirit young man. His biggest hobby is collecting Nike's "AirJordan" (Jordan) series basketball shoes named by NBA, the greatest player of the Nike, and now he has collected more than 30 pairs.

In order to collect, he always pays attention to online stores and shoe shops in Chengdu, and specially works as a salesperson in basketball shoe stores.

Because shoes like it.

"In the last 14 seconds, the score was 85:86, the jazz took the lead.

The ball was handed over to the Jazz Karl Malone. Suddenly Jordan rushed out from behind Malone, and the ball was broken. In the last 5.8 seconds, Jordan faced Russell, dribbling, speeding up and stopping. Russell was passed by, shot and scored. The game ended! The score was 4:2, and the Bulls won the championship.

In the 1997 to 1998 season, CCTV broadcast the NBA competition, that season Michael.

In 2004, a magazine called "Size size" began to introduce "Le Le" into the world of sneakers. "Through the introduction of magazines, I knew the 'AirJordan' series, and then came out of nowhere.

Also in high school's "Le Le" began to study the "AirJordan" series, so far he still collects the first 6 periods of "Size size", which is regarded as a commemoration.

Besides studying shoes, Lele also began to study Michael Jordan. The more he understood him, the more surprised he was, and the more he liked Jordan.

And 'AirJordan' is also an essential part of the legend of "flying Jordan".

Unlike many other people who collect 'AirJordan', I like Jordan himself because he likes his shoes.

At college, Lele squeezed some money from the monthly cost of life to buy "AirJordan" shoes.

From 2004 to now, it cost almost 100 thousand yuan.

And many of his friends who know basketball shoes know not only the collection of "AirJordan" series, but also other NBA players' shoes. "A friend of mine in Yibin is still a university student, but I have more than 100 pairs of shoes, only 5 years in history.

I buy two pairs of sneakers almost every month.

I compare with them, no matter the number of shoes or the time and money they spend. "

To store as a salesperson in a shoe store.

The "AirJordan" series has 23 generations, each generation has its own meaning.

But "Lele" likes the first generation and the twenty-third generation. "From the beginning to the end, the first generation and the twenty-third generation are two symbols, especially the twenty-third generation. It is Jordan's jersey number 23.

And the first generation, I like the design of it, but also because this pair of shoes is the first pair of sneakers named after Jordan, which has witnessed the birth of a legend.

Although the "AirJordan" first generation sneakers were born in 1985, Nike is now "replicating" every year, which is reproducing according to the original design and matching different colors.

"Lele" has collected 7 pairs of "AirJordan" first generation in the past years according to the height and color of the upper, "my favorite color is North Carolina (North Carolina State University), because Jordan graduated from this university."

He also had a pair of "AirJordan" first generation, which is the color matching of the cherry trees in the basketball comics. "This is because the comic fire, Nike only deliberately produced."

In the four year of University, "Le Le" ran around all the shoe selling stores in Chengdu, and became a good friend with the manager of a basketball shoe store in Chunxi Road.

In 2008, the shoe store recruited a salesperson and he signed up for it.

For several months, the clerk's life not only had long knowledge, but also satisfied his interest. "The company arranged training and examination for the shop assistants. The contents are the types, materials and history of basketball shoes.

In particular, the material part is the secret of the company, and only the insiders can learn it.

Now, as long as he looks at the signs and codes of his shoes, he can quickly tell the origin, production time, materials and techniques of the shoes, and many people around him buy shoes from the Internet to tell him the truth. "If I sell shoes again, I must be more professional than most of the shop assistants."

I hope to make up those 4 pairs of shoes.

For every pair of shoes, they are very fond of "Lele". In addition to the occasional addiction at home, they usually wrap their shoes in toilet paper, put them in a sealed bag with desiccant, then pile them in a cool ventilated place in the wardrobe, and replace them with dryness for a few months.

Although it is very protective of shoes, "Lele" always believes that the role of shoes is still worn. "Shoes material is only plastic, rubber and so on. Life expectancy is not long. After a long time, it will change color and degumming, and its sole mission is to let people wear."

He is ready to take some shoes slowly.

"Lele" university is learning animation design, usually idle, he will also feel good design plan, whether painting or collection, let him feel very happy.

But there are also things that make him depressed. Many people do not understand the behavior of collecting basketball shoes. His girlfriend thinks he has been working and buying these shoes. It is an immature expression. However, the family thinks he bought shoes not to wear, which is purely a waste of money. But he does not think so. "In fact, the players who collect" AirJordan "are mainly concentrated in the 1980s. We have seen Jordan's most brilliant era and have seen his embarrassing curtain.

Now most of the 90's are familiar with "little emperor" James, "flash man" Wade, and "flying man" Jordan is only a distant legend for them.

Although he has worked now, Lele does not plan to give up his collection. His collection of "AirJordan" series is still third generations, eighteenth generation, nineteenth generation, and twentieth generation 4 pairs. He hopes to collect it as soon as possible.

For collection, he believes that it is a belief and a persistence. "It is a witness to Michael Jordan's legend."
