It's no secret my favorite shoe is the White Cement 3. That shoe screams Michael Jordan to me. It screams my childhood, a shoe I couldn't have growing up. We grew up not wanting for anything, but I didn't grow up in a spoiled life. I grew up spoiled with love, but not with money and crazy stuff like that. '92 would kind of be the year where I received two Jordans from my brother, one to rock, and as they say, one to stock.

So as you know, the infamous sneaker room of Kenny G. Too many is how many I have now, so over 2,500 shoes. We got the Tour 4s on the feet. This would be where they are kept. A slogan I came up with is, wear your shoes. I collect just for me and my foot so that I can actually wear the shoes. That's not new.

I don't know anybody that's still wearing Mocha 3s from 2000. I definitely know my history when it comes to these shoes. I believe I and Jordan brand are the only people to have these sneakers. To me, the 11 is one of the most iconic shoes that Jordan got to use back in the day.
