We are growing all so quick 10k coming very soon and we will be doing another giveaway. So stay tuned for that one
But let's go ahead and get right into this video because I am so excited about this shoe
Now this shoe came out in 2006. It is currently 2019. So I'll do the math. That's a long time ago, right?
I haven't had these ever. I've never owned this shoe ever. Not once never
I've literally owned over a thousand pairs of sneakers and never owned this specific shoe
A lot of people when I tell them that they're like what that's crazy
You've never owned those before and I'm like, yes
for some reason this shoe has found its way to not get in my hands and
I got a text message the other day and the homie said yo, I got a dead stock size 13. I said hold up
That's my size. So
Immediately was like yo, tell him I need those and it was immediate transaction. Only took a couple hours to make the deal happen
We made up later that night shout-out to my bro. He always holds me down
You know who you are and uh, I can't lie. I'm a happy happy camper right now. So let's get into just
2006 in the era in the nostalgia of just that time
So for me coming up in high school, this was like a Grail sneaker, I was a freshman in high school
these came out in
2006 and there was a lot of heat dropping in that time for anybody that remembers and that was collecting sneakers around that time
They know there was some fire remember stuff like the DMP pack fire red series grapes. You name it?
We can go deeper into that
I'm gonna pop up a couple of different shoes that dropped in that era just so you can see all the type of cakes that
Was coming out back then that stuff was like classics
Oh, jeez rewrite trying new stuff coming out fresh dope new Plus colorways
like
Everything was just hot at that time and when it came to stuff like this or like the M&M two or something like a laser
Series or something like that it was rare
it was limited and it was hard to get and there was a lot of different ways now because there weren't
Stock accent goat and grilled and all different things like that. It was more just like who do you know?
What store owner do you know? How can you get these?
where can you find them and
We were going to different websites trying to find them different stuff like that
And this sneaker right here was very very exclusive because it came out on the jump man
23 website and backed in that was like this new kind of thing like yo, this site is dope
It's got like all the information and stuff and Jordan was obviously heavy into motorcycles and things like that
So he made stuff like the motorsport series and the lightning thunder package that came out on that website
So you have the Thunder force and the lightning force the Thunder force came with a jacket
The lightning force came with the t-shirt speaking of that. I have the t-shirt. Hold on one sec. Let me get the t-shirt
Let me get the t-shirt
Okay, so
This is the t-shirt right here and it's actually another funny story. So this is the shirt that comes with these shoes right here and
it's uh
Huh
Yeah, this is a another thing that's kind of huge it's a 3x
All right, hold on let me take this bag off I gotta get more comfortable
Yes, so
I'm gonna just give you guys a quick look at this shirt because this thing is way too big for me
But as you can see, it has nine squares on it different kind of variations of the thunder or lightning
separate different colorways stuff that you've never seen before and it might have been just different prototypes and samples that they might have ran and
Thought about doing there's a couple colorways on here that are really really dope and I wouldn't be mad if they dropped this one
Right here and probably that one right there with the yellow full yellow bottom those two are bogger similar to the tour right here
But we can get into that later anyways
You had the jacket you had the shirt you had the two shoes
you only had online access through the Jumpman 23 website and you have to have
Access, you know premier private
Whatever you want to call it access to go and purchase the shoot. So that caused this sneaker to be very rare
Very limited and a lot of people here in Portland
We're able to get their hands on them
Obviously because of Nike and people that they knew so we saw people walking around with them
There's a kid at my school that literally had the M&M force
Didn't even care about him cuz he had multiple pairs like stuff like that. Those are the perks of living in Portland
Those are the type of things you would see on a random high school students feet
So for us it wasn't like out of the norm, but we knew like this shoe is rare
it's hard to get so now that you have kind of like a gist of how I
Interpreted the sneaker and how much I really wanted to sneaker and what it was to get it in the process of that
let's go a little bit deeper into the shoe and show you guys the materials the colors just
I don't even know what to say. These are just higher like dance talk my oh
Let's get into it air jordan for lightning
2006 release fire but before we get into the shoe, let's talk about the box now everybody remembers this box
This is like a time stamp on the era each box has its own air
So if you remember these, you know the shoes that were coming out in that time
But do you see the retail on that a hundred and twenty-five dollars boy boy boy if I could get it for that price?
I don't know what I would do
Let's take it right to the retro cart because if you die has a retro card, oh no what she was doing
So when you ask somebody hey, do I have the shoe the box and the retro card? Oh, yeah
It's a go now. Let's take it into the shoe. Look at that toe right there. You see that but that's nice
You see this other angle right here
But so if you're looking at the upper as you can tell from the shoe, it's predominantly yellow very very clean. Very very vibrant
If you look at the sole, it's a great outsole white pods and a yellow jump, man
The stars are very very small and smoother
Compared to the new Jordan forward has bigger stars on it
If you're looking at the back of the shoe
You can see the gray jump man here and it's got the plastic jaw man with them bordering around it and not the plastic tab
on there
now if you look at the tongue as you can see
It has the classic Jordan flight for tag on it typical like you would always find and on the air bubbles
You have the grey on the air bubble with the white midsole
Super clean the yellow hits on the Jordan on the inside of the tongue with the grey. Oh
Everything pops on this shoe
I don't know what my favorite part of the shoe is but all I know is this thing is fire
So you got to drop a comment down below and let me know what you guys think about these
Little get back to the video and finish this review up. So now that you have seen the shoe
what do you think about these do you think they're worth the hike I just saw a pair of size 13 on stock X the
other day for
$2000 did I spend that much money?
No, but I think they're worth something like that nowadays with the type of sneakers that are coming out
I don't see why these couldn't potentially be worth three four thousand dollars
Honestly, the way stuff is priced now I could see these being up there but maybe in a smaller size
They actually might be I don't know but I know when I go to sneaker events and different stuff like that people always have this
On their table as like the Grail
you know with like the Nike Z's or a sample or exclusives or some off lights or whatever maybe
So this is for sure going to fall into my rail category in my collection
And my you know top three Jordan for colorways, actually, I don't know I gotta think about that one
But okay top five top five. This one's going to my top five colorways for sure. And then I don't know
So what do you guys think about this shoe? What are your thoughts just about the colorway the
Execution on the shoe the how it dropped. Will this shoe come out again?
That is the major question that everybody's been talking about there have been some talk about these
releasing back in the same time when the thunders were dropping and
unfortunately, they didn't drop so everybody got the thunders and those was just
oversaturated and everybody had that pair and it was just like no more hyper on that but it still has some crazy hype around the
lightning force, so I'm just very interested in hearing what you guys think about these and
I'm obviously very excited to pick these up and have these in my collection
