Profile:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Name:<\/strong> Karina Benhail
\nCity:<\/strong> Bronx, NY
\nInstagram:<\/strong> @AirKarinaBx23<\/a>
\nSize:<\/strong> 6
\nStarted:<\/strong> 1997<\/p>\n

Collection Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“My collection has stemmed from a long-lived obsession with all things Michael Jordan<\/strong>. My Father (R.I.P) began my obsession in 1986, by telling me I should pay attention to #23<\/strong>. That was pretty much it, I fought tirelessly until I was allowed to get Jordans<\/strong> in 1997<\/strong>. My Father told me I had to bring straight As home in order to get them! I’ve gotten almost every pair released in a size 6 since then. In my eyes, there is no greater sneaker than Jordans. They literally warm my heart. I will never give my loyalty to a brand like I have to Jordan Brand<\/strong>!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collection Starter:<\/strong> Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” (1994)<\/h3>\n

“The Jordan III<\/strong> started my obsession! I wanted this shoe for years. When I was finally able to have it, my collection felt whole!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Personal Favorite:<\/strong> OG Air Jordan 7 “Bordeaux” (1992)<\/h3>\n

“The “Bordeaux” VII<\/strong> made me fall in utter love with Jordans<\/strong>, and it has never changed. It took me years to find a pair of ’92 Originals, and the price was well worth it! This shoe is my EVERYTHING!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Frequent Wear:<\/strong> Air Jordan 1 “Banned”\/”Royal” (2001)<\/h3>\n

“What better to always rock than my 2001 “Bred”<\/strong> and “Royal” Is<\/strong>! Literally the best shoes for everyday wear. Sleek and Beautiful, a true classic!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Rare Pair:<\/strong> Air Jordan 1 “Metallic” (2001)<\/h3>\n

“I believe my “Metallic” Is<\/strong> are one of my rarest Jordans, as I rarely see people wear them. Recently, many “Infrared” VIs<\/strong> and “Laney” XIVs<\/strong> have shown up, and that’s why I chose to showcase my “Metallic” Is!”<\/p>\n
