The key to securing the newest pair of Air Jordans on release day was getting to the mall early, according to Rep. Jared Moskowitz.
Moskowitz, 42, grew up in the late 1980s and 1990s, when the fervor around Michael Jordan and his basketball sneakers was at its peak.
“If you weren’t lucky enough to get your pair, you were done,” says the Florida freshman, recalling the days when he would arrive with his father before stores opened to wait in line. “There was no internet, no secondary marketplace. But there was no better feeling than going to school the next day with a pair of Jordans that nobody else had.”
