Complex: 50 Sneaker Facts That Will Make You Feel Old

March 19th 2013 | 49 comments

Father Time pulls no punches, and neither does Russ Bengtson in his latest Complex feature. Those sneakers in your closet are disintegrating for a reason; we're getting old — and so is the sneaker game. Did you know John Wall was just six years old when Allen Iverson signed with Reebok? Or that 17 Air Jordans have been released since Space Jam was being shown on the silver screen? How about the fact that Stephon Marbury hasn't played in an All-Star game in over a decade? Who is Stephon Marbury you ask? Exactly! Get your Vino on and celebrate aging by running through 50 sneaker facts that will make you feel old.

This was a great thread....and yes it did make me feel a bit old at the tender age of 37. Good memories!
Collecting kicks should not be a competition. It's a lifestyle!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck! The fact that Starbury hasn't played in an All-Star Game for over a decade was the last straw. I'm blowing my brains out.
