The year was 1990.
I was heading into 7th grade. Every cool kid had the Fire Red Jordan 5s. I had spent the entire year saving every dollar I could so I could finally buy my dream shoes.
I walked into Foot Locker… and they were SOLD OUT.
That was my origin story.
I carried that emotional damage for the next 20+ years. My therapist says I’m making progress. My wife says I’m just buying shoes now to heal my inner 12 year old.
Well… the kid finally got his Jordans.
