Over the past 25 years, sneaker collecting has transformed from a niche hobby to a worldwide phenomenon. Growing up, most kids had two or three pairs of sneakers. Today, kids and adults alike fill their closets with them. It’s a trend that transcends generations and backgrounds. People who could have cared less about Air Jordans five years ago are now stockpiling them because it’s fun and more than a little bit addictive. Once you have one pair, you need another. And another. (And another.) The problem is, we don’t all have spare closets and bedrooms, and guest bedrooms to fill with every single colorway of every Jordan ever. Nor, it goes without saying, do we all have the income to do it. Luckily, as it turns out, you don’t actually need every colorway of the Jordan IV.
