Community Collections<\/a> kicks off a December lineup full of surprises by hiking north across the border. This Canadian collector doesn’t have a last name, but he does have a unique style of sneakers. Jamazin<\/a>‘s stock of size 13s grew its roots from the underrated and under-publicized era of the early 2000s. Growing up a hoops fanatic, Nike Basketball<\/strong>‘s roster of signatures for Jason Kidd<\/em>, Gary Payton<\/em> and Vince Carter<\/em> was what got this enthusiast interested in the sneaker game. Since his infatuation started right as Michael Jordan<\/em> returned from retirement, Jamazin then naturally expanded into to the Air Jordan<\/strong> sector, and has been hooked ever since. As everyone should, this Kicks On Court<\/a> lover knows what he likes and wears all of his rare sneakers.<\/p>\n

Jump through the pages to see Jamazin’s collection and some of his personal picks, including his Most Rare Pair<\/strong>. Drop a line in the comment box with your feedback, and keep Snkrs Day<\/strong> bookmarked for everything sneakers.<\/p>\n

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

“My collection no doubt falls under the “quality over quantity”<\/em> umbrella. All of the shoes I own have sentimental value<\/strong> to me. Since I was a kid, everything about Nike<\/strong> intrigued me. The athletes , the commercials, and the technology (cushioning, support and materials) were all areas that I felt Nike was a step ahead. That almost made me feel privileged to don the “Swoosh” exclusively; by choice of course. I also grew up playing basketball, which is where my love of all things Nike Basketball<\/strong> related in the late ’90s and early 2000s really stemmed from.\u00a0It was only natural with my fondness of Nike that Air Jordans<\/strong> were soon to follow. The day finally came in 2002 where I was able to land my first job, and what did I do with my first check? Went to the mall\u00a0and bought the Air Jordan VI Low in White\/University Blue<\/strong>, naturally. The rest is history.”
\n<\/p>\n

Most Rare Pair:<\/strong>Nike Air Zoom Kidd “Morph” (2001)<\/h3>\n

“The main reason I consider these to be my rarest pair<\/em> is because other than myself, only other person I’ve ever seen in them was Jason Kidd<\/strong>. I love these right here. Easily my favorite skin from the Morph Series<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collection Starter: <\/strong>Air Jordan 16 Black\/ Varsity Red (2001\/2008)<\/h3>\n

“Everything about the Air Jordan XVI<\/strong> had me mesmerized as a kid. The look and the fact that they released on MJ’s birthday; but most of all, the “Much Respect”<\/strong> ad campaign. By far my favorite Air Jordan commercial. Anytime I hear “Umi Says” by Mos Def,<\/strong> I instantly reminisce and think about the Air Jordan XVI; and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even though I outgrew the original pair I had as a kid, this CDP retro pair from 2008 has captivated me just as much.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Frequent Wear:<\/strong>Nike Shox VC III (2002)<\/h3>\n

“This is a tough one for me, because I wear ALL of my shoes in a rotation. But I have worn these Nike VC III’s<\/strong> a few times on court as of late.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Personal Favorite: <\/strong>Air Jordan 11 “Concord” (2000\/2011)<\/h3>\n

“What is really left to say about the XI that hasn’t been said already? Well I can say this: Back in 2000<\/strong> I was in the 7th grade. Like every other 13 year old basketball fan, I had pictures of all my favorite players on my wall. But amongst the pictures of Shaq, Kemp, Garnett, Payton, McDyess and Jordan were different shots of the Air Jordan XI<\/strong> I had cut out from different magazines. Endless love from a young age.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oldest Pair: <\/strong>Nike Total Air Foamposite Max (1998)<\/h3>\n

“Even though this pair is from 1998,<\/strong> I actually played ball in them about a month ago. Of course in classic Foamposite<\/strong> fashion, they held up just fine. Total Max<\/strong> airbag included.”<\/p>\n
