Who knew the "Space Jam Jordans," aka the Air Jordan XI (11) Retro editions, were so popular? Two days before Christmas, shoppers are flocking to any stores that have them in stock after Nike decided to reissue the sneakers in limited quantities.Forget Zhu Zhu Pets. The shoes Michael Jordan wore in the 1996 flick Space Jam are where it's at!
Honestly, when one of my friends wore these sneakers during the initial release in 2000, we all had a good chuckle about it. They were his pride and joy. He scoured Internet sites at the time trying to find anyone that would sell them in advance of the release date. Then again, this same friend also had a limited-edition golden Jordan jersey and was the first to get the Washington Wizards threads. A true Jordan-collecting fiend.
According to a Nike spokesperson, the reissue date was pushed up a day before Christmas Eve in order to let retailers close their doors early. The current price is anywhere from $179 in stores to $400 (or more) if you're scouring eBay.
I don't know about you, but I'll take whatever's on sale at Payless Shoe Source ... Reebok, Fila, Converse React (remember this classic commercial?), even British Knights. They're all fair game.
Robert Rodriguez, a teen shopper from Binghamton, NY, would disagree with my approach of course. He was first in line at the Oakdale Mall's Foot Locker to cop a pair of these rare kicks. "I need them. I'm a sneaker-head. I collect them. I love sneakers," said Rodriguez, who also likes to be called "Macho."
Remember kids, nothing says macho like Jordan and the Looney Tunes schooling the Monstars.
