it’s summer of 2009 and i’m at the mall of america with my family. i see the air jordan dmp 1 pack on sale for $199. i ask my mom if she can buy those shoes for the upcoming school year for me. she agrees and i walk out with the set. a year later during the fall of 2010, my advisory class nominates me for homecoming king. i’m hanging with lance and josh at his house. before we roll out to homecoming, i change into my homecoming outfit at josh’s house. i was wearing the dmp celtics 1’s but left it in the trunk of his car. the next week, i see josh wearing them. long story short, he never gave them back lmao. because the original release was a part of a commemorative pack, i never thought i’d see them again. luckily for me, nike decided to rerelease them. they dropped today at 10am. i overslept until 12:30pm. when i woke, they were still on the site. i called jd sports at northshore, and the girl said they had a size 11 in stock. i stopped by and copped a pair. when i got home, i put on breaking bad and laced them with black laces like it was 2009 again.
i don’t know where i’ll wear them to, but they’ll definitely be unds soon.
