story

"And I really wanted them so I asked my mom if she could buy them for me but of course she said no. And I actually see these Jordans sitting on the shelf, I gotta have them. I'm like, what you mean you can't find the other shoe?"

"What up, it's Wells P (@wells_p)! Here's the story on how I got my hands on my grail, the Nike Air Max 1 'Atmos'. I go to LA, hit the consignment spot, I see them, yeah it's about to be lit."

"I ask for my size they say "Yeah we got your size, aight cool we gon bring em out." My man comes back and says, "I can't find the other shoe." What do you mean you can't find the other shoe?"

"Took the L. Thought it was over, 2017 comes, hey they're re-releasing. Nope, took the L."

"Took a shot in the dark. Got a homie in Japan, let me shoot my man a text, 2am, "Hey man, can you help me out getting a pair of these." I wake up, my man was like "Yo, I stood in line, I got them, they're yours, your size."

"Yessss. So, that's the story on how I got my hands on my grails. That's what friends are for."

"What up y'all my name is Diana (@dianakmir) from Los Angeles and I'm going to share with y'all how I got the '03 patent leather, 'Metallic Gold' 1s." 

"So it's 2003, I'm about 12 or 13 years old. My family used to have a subscription to the Eastbay magazine and I used to circle all of the shoes that I wanted."

"That's when I saw the 'Metallic' Jordan 1s and I really wanted them so I asked my mom if she can buy them for me, but of course she said no." 

"However, I took matters into my own hands, got her credit card, picked up the phone and I ordered the shoes for myself."

"I had to do a whole bunch of chores. Laundry, mopping, sweeping, you name it; but I was doing all of that, with my patent leather Jordan 1s on." 

"What's up guys, it's David Daniels (@sneakerphetish) here. I'm from Huntsville, AL and this is how I got my 1999 OG Air Jordan 14s in 'White and Carolina Blue'."

"So I'm living in St Louis back in '99. Me and my mom go into a store and I actually see these Jordans sitting on the shelf. I gotta have them. Unfortunately, my mom wasn't able to afford to get 'em out. Maybe I'll be able to get 'em again one day."

"So I get a little bit older and I start looking for the sneaker. I can't find the shoe anywhere. One day I'm on Ebay and finally I find the sneaker from a collector up in Montana somewhere."

"So I contact him, we get everything done, I even offered to fly out to get the shoe."

"After a 20 year run, I finally was able to get my hands on my grails. First thing I did when I got the shoe, Facetimed my mom, let her know that I finally got my grail."
