F.P. Journe

...  

Wrist is pretty exciting!

We didn’t have much NBA coverage on TV where I grew up but of course MJ was still the legend. It’s gotta be the shoes. ...  

These are similar to his Study 005 but I asked him to replicate the OG so there are some differences. He’s gotten a lot of traction and press since I bought these, and with that prices have risen considerably. I could never justify buying these today.

It has really become a culture, or sub-culture. Really a "big thing," for some people.

My past, I guess, has always made me look "down," on shoes, because you wear them on your feet and step on dirty stuff. I know, I know, bad perception, but it's one I just cannot shake to this day. I mean I like a good pair of shoes, but......

Prices for some highly desirable or collectible pairs can run into crazy numbers. And like watches, you want to wear them!

A pic I took when I found out the wife and I were expecting our second son last year: ...  

I think I actually had a pair of Pumps during the 6 and 7 era. Normal order was restored for AJ 8. I’ve since owned the 7 (Retro) but never got to the 6. Needs to be done at some point.

Definitely not retail, but if you’re just looking for one pair that will be well-worn and thoroughly enjoyed, I think it’s worth it (I wear my VIs often and won’t/can’t resell them). I don’t think I could be a true sneakerhead; the midnight drops and tent... 

At the time he was wearing a Portuguese Perpetual a lot, so a little bit of a watch guy too. I do have some tolerances for above retail...but there’s a low enough limit on what I’ll pay for sneakers. When the world was bigger, I was a big sneaker hunter. ... 

I don't want it to end!

His era was right in the sweet spot of my teenage years when sports, fashion, culture all mashed together for me. Watching this series has been eye-opening in some respects, but in many others it’s been like reliving my early years!

I’m beginning to think I would NEED a Journe sports watch.🤔

but I think you of all people should definitely have an FP Journe sport watch! First because it’s a nice addition to any collection (FPJ-centric or otherwise) but also because of the new casual way of the world. These days, I have to look for excuses to w... 

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player to have ever walked this planet - there was nothing like him before and there has been nothing like him since, on so many levels. Thank heaven's we received this gift during the quarantine! Darren

Can't wait to watch it tonight. To be honest MJ & Bulls was before my time (or when i was too young to understand the significance). I was clear he was always the reference point, but i always preferred players of my generation, Kobe/Lebron. But having wa...
