SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

This was the issue that changed Sole Collector forever. This is the first Jordan issue that we created - that’s right - an issue 100% dedicated to Jordan shoes. And how can you possibly create an issue and do this brand justice? We’ll here is what we did - we dove deep into the latest rendition of the Jordan Brand kicks -the Jordan XX. We had a roundtable with Tinker Hatfield, Mark Smith, Tom Foxen, Josh Herd, and Gentry Humpry to kick things off. And then we took pictures of every single Jordan shoe that we could get our hands on - that’s right - 100s of Jordans…. and some I guarantee you have never seen before. Spike Lee joined us for two features and talked about back in the day with our man AG. That much info in itself would be enough for a great issue - but we didn’t stop there - Professor K reviewed every single model of the Jordan line - that’s right - 20 detailed reviews - and Retrokid gave us details on each of these shoes with info most people never knew. And to top the issue off we found a collector into each and every model created and let them tell you their story….. Ahhhh- issue 7 - coming of age for Sole Collector.
