Nike Zoom LeBron IV White/Silver for Air Jordan XX2 Black/Varsity Red
By far the worst trade I ever made was swapping my White/Silver LeBron IV for the Air Jordan XX2 Black/Varsity Red-Metallic Silver because I had no foresight into how great the LeBron sneaker line would become. I was on the freshman basketball team that year and a varsity player approached me about swapping. At the time, I was a Jordan fanatic so I figured I was winning in this situation. Now, I wish I could jump in The Delorean and tell myself, ‘Don’t do it.’
The best trade I ever made was swapping my Black/Chrome Air Jordan 2 for the White/Varsity Red Air Jordan 6. The original colorway of the 6 is a classic, so I couldn’t pass up. Plus, I ended up living with the person I traded with, and the 2s somehow made their way back to my closet. It became a win-win.
