    3s, 4s, 5s, and 6s. 1s are always and for ever be the first, but 3s through 6s, all first original color ways, Nike Air on the back are really the ones that set the foundation for sneaker collection. But it will always be 1s - 14s all og color ways, especially for OG heads is the real standard.

    For 11s it’s only 3 OG colorways and when i say OG i mean that the public had a chance to buy them

    Columbia 11s
    Concords

    The AJ3 moved the goal post forward, but the AJ4 moved it further for overall impact with innovative design idea and execution that was carried over a number of AJ's along the line.
    You can say the AJ4 completed the task in offering balance of form and function that the AJ3's was meant to achieve since it was already way behind schedule when Tinker Hatfield was put on board to come out with the AJ3.
    Personally I'd go for the AJ3's for comfort but the AJ4 has a number of very interesting design detail that gives it that extra Wow! factor, plus it's reasonably comfortable. ( a.AJ4, b.AJ3, c.AJ1, d.AJ11 )

    13s were where everything changed to me. I’m a bit younger so I wasn’t really hip to how big the previous shoes were. BUT, the 13 is when I started seeing everyone wearing Jordan’s and where it became very established and apparent that Jordan was breaking away from Nike and truly solidifying itself as its own brand.

    I think the 3 is the definitive Air Jordan; I don't like them, don't wear them but that's where Jordan Brand really got going. The 1 is too much a Nike shoe even if it's my favourite to wear. The 4 hasn't got the wearability - looks good but I can't wear em for more than 3 hours. The 11 is a hard shoe to wear, certainly for myself and I don't think the 11 is anywhere near as revered if Jordan doesn't win 70 games and championship in them. Shoes for shoes, the 3 is the brand identity.... and Jordan's favourite.

    1's, 4's and 6's all day. Was never really a fan of Jordans, outside these three, because I generally prefer low-tops like Dunks and Air Max. Plus, always thought Jordans, especially the later ones, were just weird looking, with too much going on. Recently picked up a pair of the Air Jordan Legacy 312 Lows and they're SICK. Probably the best looking pair of Jordans I've ever owned.
