How old is everyone in this thread and when is too old to wear Jordan's on a regular basis.
Before you know it ever old man will be wearing Jordans and there won't be a New Balance to be found anywhere.

I'm 47.

Jordan 1s are timeless so you're never too old to wear them.

Finally old enough to be able to afford them.

Just old enough to not give a F about what people think.

51 and unboxed my first pair of Jordans last week. The 21 year old waitress at Pappadeaux raved about my Tokyo Bio Hacks and I admit it made me feel cool in front of my teens.

Sneaker related, my favorite everyday no-show athletic socks are half-ish off on a few different colorways at Dick's:

Nike Multiplier Running No-Show Socks 2-Pack

Nike Multiplier Running No-Show Socks 2-Pack (other color)

Do these stay on your heel? I'm a big fan of the no shows with the ankle grip.
They have for me, zero slippage issues. There's a small tab on the back which I think helps them stay up.

We grew up with them. It's never going to be over for me. Bury me in a pair of 11s.

I've decided I'm old enough to wear what brings me joy. There are probably people who don't think I should be rocking high top J1s, for example, but I like them so I wear them.
I have found that very very few people really even notice. Now if I went to HEB wearing ripped skinny jeans and a basketball jersey I might get some funny looks.


Depends on where you are. In Texas I don't get many comments. In NYC people always notice the heat.

38 y/o here and I have just recently gotten back into shoes since 2020. Was all about Ultra Boosts for years before that. I will keep wearing what I like until I don't anymore. There are some things I don't wear because I feel like I can't "pull them off" but that is more personal preference than anything else.

Teaching 17-18 year olds my shoes occasionally get some attention but I generally wear them because I like how it feels to wear shoes that you think are cool. And as others have mentioned, being old enough to afford what you want helps as well.

42. It's not that I feel I'm too old to wear them, I just don't want to get them dirty. I've been dreaming about getting Jordan 5's since 1990. Mine are house shoes at the moment, especially since we've been getting so much rain lately.

34 - been wearing J's since youth basketball days. The fashion/hypebeast/sneakerhead aspect of it is one thing, but another big part of it is how much I idolized his airness as a youngin. I definitely had the chicago bulls duffel bag, michael jordan cologne, and #23 jersey prominently in rotation. So long story short, I will never stop wearing them. I love sneaker culture, and I think its a really fun hobby.

Those true blue J 1's are color blocked really nicely. Both the high and low.

37, almost 38 - i think i just got into them a couple years ago...

But i think its becoming more and more acceptable for women to wear men's shoes...therefore, buying more shoes...and as someone said, i can afford them now.

Yep....I strictly wear them on the golf course, but they would look good as a casual shoe as well
