Shoe Collection 2023

Shoe Rotation Update

I've settled on Nike as my preferred brand, moving from Onitsuka Tigers to Adidas, and now focusing on Air Jordans. Here’s my current shoe rotation:

Regular Rotation

  • Air Jordan 1 Low - Reverse Black Toe - 9.5M
  • Air Jordan 1 Low - Flight Club - 10.5M
  • Air Jordan 1 Mid - Tartan Swoosh - 9.5M
  • Miler’s - 10M

Special Occasion Shoes

  • Air Force 1 Low - 9M

Comfort Adjustments

I've decided to use insoles in my older shoes to enhance comfort, particularly for the Court Vision. I aim to hold off on purchasing new shoes until 2024, when I may consider getting another pair of Air Force 1s.

Impressions of Jordan 1s

I’m really impressed with the Air Jordans—they’ve taken me through various cities, including Tokyo and Busan. To make room for future purchases, I'll wear out the Court Vision's as I think most of my shoes feel a bit small. I’m contemplating moving up from a size 9.5 to 10.

Update - 6/11/23

After enduring discomfort with my previous sizes, I finally bought a pair of 10.5M Air Jordan 1 Lows, and what a difference it makes! I can’t believe I waited so long to make this change. The comfort level is vastly improved, and I regret trying to force myself into smaller sizes for so long.

I’ve decided to part ways with my Converse and Court Vision's, as they will never be comfortable given their sizing. Instead, my rotation will now focus on the three pairs of Air Jordan 1s and the Miler’s.

Future Plans

Eventually, I plan to replace both 9.5M AJ1s with 10.5M AJ1s in the colorways I want—specifically White/Black and Red/White/Black. I also prefer the materials of my current 9.5M AJ1 Lows, so I’m hoping to find similar quality in a larger size.

Overall, I’m looking forward to enjoying a more comfortable rotation and expanding my collection with the right fit.
