Oldest Pair: OG Air Jordan 5 “Grape” (1990)
“If you want stories, these probably have the best one yet. One day I was doing my daily scroll through Portland Craigslist. One ad caught my eye, it was titled “OG Grapes For Sale-$80.” When I clicked on the ad, my jaw dropped. There they were, a pair of original grapes. I called the guy and said I’m on my way, I’ll take them for $100. The only thing stopping me was he was located in a suburb of Vancouver, Washington that is located about 45 minutes from Portland. All through the ride I was hoping this deal was real. I knocked on the door and and a man answered, and we headed to the garage where these shoes had been stored. He pulled them out and the first thing I saw was the “Nike Air” logo on the back. His dad purchased them at the Nike Employee store when he used to work at Nike, so he was just getting rid of some of his dad’s stuff. I gave him the $100, and then drove away with a pair of gems in my hands. I couldn’t believe what just happened, and am still in shock to this day.”
