Episode notes

When did that aftermarket start? Because I never remember as a kid, anybody lining up to get Jordans. You just couldn't afford them. Or you had to get over the psychological barrier of, am I willing to break $100 for your sneakers? What were the original Jordans at? Yeah. Well, the first names were in 85, there were less than 100 but it was 1991, the Jordan Fives that was the first time that they broke 100 and it was like 125 for theJordan Fives. And that was, I remember that too.
