UPDATE: Sebastian is aware of this video and will be responding! 😂 twitter.com/eddiewinkicks/status/1765894477548302500?s=21&t=xX0VLn1Dc5GrAdrZIfKyVA
i bet you he couldn't name 10 popular jordan silhouette / colorways.
you can't get an opinion like that from a guy that probably doesn't even wear jordans on a regular basis which makes what he is saying irrelevant. ask a true sneakerhead that question for a more pure answer because multiple videos have popped up about the subject and all the men are saying this is way off.
this is no hate towards sebastian either as i am a fan of his comedy work.
@@vinnyliscano4884 100% spot on!!!
that is like a random person telling him at a certain age he's too old to do comedy.
This is beyond silly…our generation who’re these when we were kids but we can’t wear them as grown men?!?!
Guys I am 65 and still wear my Jordans, Nikes, and Yeezys and the way I have taken care of myself, and the way I style my outfits regularly gets “he so fresh” when I am out. I need to start a You Tube channel to show what a guy in his sixty’s means to the sneaker community. Guys never let anyone tell you what you can’t do!
Clothing is a way of personal expression, and no one can tell you how to express yourself. Sneakers mean different things to different people. 👟
How old is your oldest pair? How long untill jordan 1's are unwearable?
Til I die😂😂
So I guess you don’t like Stacy Adam’s
Yea my dad is 69 and still wear his. He is one of the original sneaker addicts. Successful in life. Wear what you want. Let no one tell you what to put on.
I'm 51 and just started wearing Jordans. My kid got me into them, thanks son!! Love them!!
Bro literally the same. Christmas present at 51.
ditto, only I'm a woman!
Never stop wearing what you like. Just gotta learn to mix it up.
That part.
I’m 43 and I still wear my Jordan’s all of the time. For guys my age who grew up watching Jordan and buying his sneakers (the black/raptor 7’s were my first back in 1992) it’s just nostalgia more than anything.
I’m 41 and that was my first pair of J’s as well. Crazy enough I got them at an outlet back when I was a kid. Good times!
I’m 47 & only expanding the Jordan collection. Love incorporating my sneakers into my diverse wardrobe & sharing my sense of style with my kids. Style has no age limits!
I’m 42, I’m still wearing sneakers
Same here
Im 41 👌🏼 and i wear jordans and newbalance
I'm 39 and will be wearing sneakers pass 40. At my office the CEO is in his 50s and does be rocking Jordans. We wear chinos, with polos, feelcw etc but sneakers is how we express ourselves.
Theses shoes are from your time. So absolutely.
I think if you're 35+, (I'm 39) then you probably watched Jordan and it's about nostalgia more than anything. I'll always wear Js!
42 year old here. I’ll NEVER stop!! Has my style changed yes, as a kid I dressed from the feet up, as I get older I’m looking for sneakers to compliment my style.✌🏾
👏 👏
That’s the key
I used to dress up for a certain corporate part in my early 20’s. And now I’m almost 40, I dress how I like. Like many people, the older I get, the fewer s**ts and f**ks I give about what other people think, especially of how I look.
Same here. I’m 56, and give ZERO f**ks on what people think!!! 😂 I always match my style with what I’m wearing, and get compliments every now, and again from some younger folks, so I guess I’m doing it right!!! I wear what I like also, NOT what’s trending this week.
Im 52 ,and Im not stoping people are tripping ,love my Js collection
I’m 54, can’t stop won’t stop!!!
I am 45 and my style is always adapting and my example is I got rid of my Travis scott Aj1's multiple colorways because I have outgrown the backwards check even though they look nice. I am just doing 85 cut Aj1's and just OG'S in general. So my answer is never 😅
Me too! 85’s and OG color ways only now!!
I'm 41 and I'll never stop with wearing j's. That's why I watch this chAnnel because of the look books you provide Ed, so I try to up my game clothes wise with my favorite j's.
I’m 31 and a sneakerhead. Rocked Jordan’s all my life until last year got into Nike sb’s. But what really helped was when I learned how to layer with my outfits. Never too old to rock any kind of shoe
Man, you should be able to wear whatever the hell you want!! If dudes can wear skirts and dresses now.. I’m wearing Jordan’s as long as I want.. in fact, that’s my era! 80’s baby 90s kid.. 😂
😂 facts
Truth!!!
I identify as a part time Sneakerhead, so you’re dam right I’m wearing them until I don’t want to anymore, and I don’t see that happening in the near future, and I’m 56!!!
Friends, I just turned 50, and I love my retro Jordan’s. Bought my first pair in 1988, and haven’t looked back. Jordan’s are a staple for some of us, and you cannot put an age limit on one’s happiness. For anyone to say your too old to do anything is ridiculous. Live how you want, and don’t let others ruin your day with BS. I have over 50 pairs, including Nike SB Chunky Dunkys, judge yourself, not me. Peace!
People in their 40s & 50s are the ones that put and kept Jordan’s in demand to the point of them being relevant for us today. They had the real OG colorways
Yep. I had the original black, and red ones in 85, as a senior in high school. I always keep all my sneakers in the original boxes also. I just wish I still had them, because they are worth a small fortune, but I probably wouldn’t sell them anyway, unless someone offered me stupid money, them I would let them go!!!
no age limit on being fly
Facts!
For real!!!!!
I’m 50 and love sneakers & fashion. As long as I feel good in my outfits I’ll continue wearing Jordans. As you stated in your video, dress appropriately
I'm 45 and I just grabbed 2 pairs of Leather black cement 4s! I'm from that era that never ages we adapt!
What you should do, is quit worrying about what others think and just do you.
My dude you saved alot of guys grace
This must be shared so all the classic brothers can see how this can go so we can dead this conversation
Who hurt you?
😂😂😂😂 that’s it…rite there!
Awesome video. I'm 43 and didn't get my first pair of Jordans until after I turned 40.
Point 4 really hit home for me...I'm not trying to have 30 pair in my collection, just some nice, simple colorways that are wearable. I have the UNC heel lows,the black toe lows and the washed gray highs...nothing flashy, just classic silhouettes.
So you didn’t realize you liked Jordan’s until a couple years ago. I bet you watched minorities wear them all through growing up. But now you like them. Interesting. Influenced much? Lol
Michael Jordan is over the age of 40 and still wears Jordan.
He has to sell em
💯
Bruh im 37 n when i am 80 i will still be rockin jordans if they our around
🇬🇧 50 this year.. wardrobe is diverse .. I am in better shape than guys in their 25’s … if they make you feel good… go for it …. I may wear NB tomorrow though 😂
Bang on!! I’m 52, collect and wear Jordan’s - my collection is insane 🔥🔥🇬🇧🇬🇧
You're never too old to wear J's and other lifestyle kicks. I do think that there is definitely a time and a place to NOT wear lifestyle kicks and you should wear dressier footwear.
I’m 42 going on 43 and I’m still wearing Jordans. I got designer canvas shoes and a few dress shoes for when I need to wear them. I’m very selective when buying sneakers nowadays. Still getting compliments on Jordan’s. Rock what you like.. people still wear vans and chucks and they’ve been around forever. J’s are forever too
I’ll be wearing Jordan’s until my feet and body tell me otherwise
I’ll be 55 this year and i still wear my Jordans, love them😁
Those Maniere 5’s with the fit u wearing is fire!!!!!
Totally agree. Styling your outfit with Js is more important than wearing Jordans themselves
It’ll never stop. I’m pushing 40. What changes with age is going thru the obstacles of obtaining a shoe. It’s no longer “I need those” type of vibe. It’s now “I had those” but I’m coo with what I held on to.
I’m 58 and I’m never gonna stop! I appreciate this video! You hit on every aspect of how to properly age with your AJ’s!!
I’m 49 still rocking Jordans. Don’t care. It’s how you wear them and what you wear them with. 💪🏽
Yo Eddie Love this topic that " after 40 " rule for Jordans is ridiculous that age is when you have money to buy Jordans!!! I'm in my 50s finally got me 2 pairs of 11s Black ,and Blue .and lifelong Yankees fan and I got the blue suede Jeter 11s ! Now would I wear 11s with shorts ...no ! but a pair of Navy Blue 5's with blue camo ...hey for me in my 50s now I can spend the money different priorities now I don't have to buy a composite bat ,lessons for numerous interests that my kids had ,wasn't gonna buy Jordans then but now hey styled right ....anything goes !!
Never too OLD...I'm 47 and rocking the "J's" and Travis Scotts....I have roughly 32 pairs and still going....I see them and like them and buy them for me...I couldn't afford them when I was little so now I can(I have YEEZYS on the way..LOL)...LOL...Then I buy my clothes to go around my Kicks...My wife has nice pairs also and she is 50yrs old...She loves her Power puff SB's and has all the colors...Hey wear what you like!
Great video brother!!!
Its all about changing and evolving your style and incorporating your Js or whatever sneakers you like wearing. Im 43 and still wear my Js..
Im 35 and wear sneakers daily...i aint stopping no time soon
I'm 43. Will wear J's till I die. Same goes for vans & sb's & trainers ect. Do what u like & feels good no matter what other people may say or project onto u. I'm a father of a younger child & out of the parents in her circle I dress young compared to them. And that's fine as long as I'm good with it which I am. Im not about to start wearing old man clothes & shoes cuz that what im supposed to or I have to look a certain way cuz im a parent. That's bs. Wear what u like. Esp if u put your fits 2gether right. Others r just jealous u hit it on the head...who hurt u? Lol. Love this channel & the content. The dudes in my area could learn a thing or 2 from watching u
Thanks for the video Eddy! I’ll be wearing J’s till the day that I die. I never let anyone tell me what I can and can’t wear and I don’t care what is trendy. I rock my own style instead of trying to copy everyone else.
I’ll be 47 in a few months and have 160 sneakers now. Growing up through the birth of sneaker culture, it’s so fun now to get stuff I had or never had from back in the day.
I bought my first pair of J’s two months before I turned 40. I now own 13 pairs.
Who hurt you is classic😂😂 we are never to old to stay fresh 😎💯
I just turned 50 and I been rocking Js since 1985! Now, I do agree that it depends on which ones you wear, and how you wear them, but rock them Js !
I’m 45 and been wearing Nikes and Jordan’s for as long as I remember. I’m a collector of them as well and buy what I want and wear what I want. I have dress shoes, loafers and designer shoes also. I dress depending on my mood, the event or how much drip I wanna bring out that day. Don’t let people put you in a box and tell you how to dress. Do what makes YOU happy, you don’t need to seek others approval!!!!!!!!
40yo here. Love your vids. Thanks for looking out for us as usual.
I do have to say, best tip in the vid for me is getting the right Jordans. My Obsidian 1s get the most wear because they go with most of my wardrobe and I can't see them every going out of fashion. My Union Guava 4s, not so much, but I'm always looking for a reason.
Eddie always dropping knowledge and breaking down the science of fashion!!!! Love this vid. Let’s go 40+ 🎉
Eddie, you are always on point when it comes to fashion trends and I agree you are never too old to wear J’s. It’s all about how your outfits look with them and how you feel because your confidence will show to others.
I’m 44 and I have at least 15 pairs of Jordan’s. Just got my Olive 5’s on Monday. Love all my sneakers.
You know how I feel about this. I buy Js for my grandfather and he loves wearing them. He’ll be 90 in April. I’ll rock Js for life.
till i'm dead love your style and content brother keep up the amazing work
55 and proudly wear my J’s! Great Content!
Well said! 👏🏾
I’m 44 and still love them. I remember when they all first released. Like the 11’s I can remember exactly where I was the first time I seen those patient leather beauties. I was in love sophomore year. But you do have to keep a classy too. Like some black cement 4’s. A nice polo. And a black and red fitted. But each pair brings up some nostalgia for me. Like most people that are in to the sneaker seen. I say rock what you like.
I think that it definitely depends on the pair. Ones never go out of style and can be worn casually with a sweater or button up. I also stick to the classic and neutral colorways. Nothing too flashy.
That is the beauty of Jordan’s. There is a silhouette, a style, a colourway for anyone and EVERYONE.
Wear what you want, wear what makes you happy. No one can tell you what you should and shouldn’t wear. It’s your money, buy what you want.
Life is too short.
I’m 44 and I was wearing my 1 low elephant print today 🔥
Love this content Eddie. Big love from the U.K. ❤️ 👊🏻
PS. Yellow is a difficult colour sneaker to pull off. I have the Air Max 1 Tour Yellow and I tend to wear them in a colour block outfit, black jeans and top. Makes the yellow pop 🔥
That jacket you got on in this video is 🔥 👌🏾
That “look book” tip is the key. You help some non dressing people.
Let it be know. Every lifestyle from person to person is different. If your life is not in an office or church all day or there is no particular dress you have to follow. Rock them Joints. I am a man of a certain age and I just hit on The Bred 4’s a month ago on SNKRS. ❤ love the channel keep it going!!
Im 45 and still wearing Jordans.
Mark Wahlberg is 52 years old and still rock his AJs.
Absolutely right.i spent my 30's and 40's lookin professiional and GQ. Now in my 50's comfort is where it's at jeans n tees all of it age appropriate of course..found new love with the J's
I’m 41, with muscular dystrophy, I don’t know how much longer I can walk, so better believe I’m going to wear my Jordan’s as long as I can even if I end up in a power chair.
I couldn't agree with you more my brother!! I'm 38 and my only rule is if I feel good wearing my Jordans and it goes with my fit, I'm good to go. By the way, those brown timberland boots are soon gonna be added to my collection lol thanks bro didn't know they existed. I fuck with this channel, we have similar styles and you have good takes. Good shit my friend! My man said "who hurt you" 😂
Listening to Souls Of Mischief in the background 🔥
As a 45-year-old, I still wear Jordans, but I noticed that I only buy the more subtle, minimalist ones now. If they're mostly white or all black I'll get them, but I'll pass if they are too busy or loud.
47 baby..its all about ur drip..swag..ur fly...when you have style there isn't a question of age
I got my first pair at 40! And I’m loving it!
I got the whole family a pair!
Personal opinion - the fashion choices you make with the shoes makes or breaks them. I love this channel for the mature styling - hard to dress like a 6 year old and be taken seriously.
Yooo 😳 I'm a big Michael jordan fan since 87 and when I was living with my mom it's was hard for me to get thems, so God bless her soul 🙏 😢 so now I try to get every pairs that come out and when I do get thems I thank God for watching 👀 over her for me to continue on allowing me to get thems, and I don't care about what people say🤔 and I'm 54 🤷🏻♂️
Love the video
I'm getting close to 40 and do not plan to stop
I'm 47 and I mostly wear Js on the weekend when I'm out just running around. It's something about them when I see anyone wearing I just take a second look at them. I will definitely match them up with something and not just be out there looking off. I'm just select with my colors for the most part.
I am 63. I wear my OG Jordans and Kobes and could care less what others think. I however have many pairs of No Bulls for the gym. I am into retros as I just bought the Converse Weapon (Bird) black high tops. And now PONY is making a come back.
I’m 50 and my kick game is still 🔥. Gotta evolve but do you. Some try TOO hard. Stay fresh fellas
I’m a 45 year old Cuban American Miami born woman living in SoFlo! I wear Jordans to go out with my outfits including leather jackets and blazers to complete the look for the beach! I don’t think there’s an age limit for Jordans because nowadays these specific shoes are for all ages because it’s all the fashion right now and also we live in sneaker culture every day! So that question is out of the question. Period!
Hiyah neighbor!.. Broward here..Same I wear my Jordan's! 🙌🏽💪🏾🙏🏽🎯
👍
You hit everything Brookings, I'm 43 and have a decent variety of sneakers and shoes, I got swag and I'm a fly hispanic male. I choose my moments to rock everything and never lookin crazy or like I'm trying to hard. Just keep it simple and flavorful, since grand puba popularized girboud jeans and hilfiger. You only get one life, enjoy it. What you eat don't make me shit. ✌️
Imagine me being to old to wear the shoes that came out when I was growing up. They weren’t retro’s they were the first of its kind (Jordans) now fast forward to someone trying to tell me that I can’t wear shoes that are old as me…make it make sense
I specifically mostly stick to 1's, dunks & shoes that won't crumble over time so I can still rock em in my 90's. Being fresh has no age limit, unless you put that limitation on yourself.
Cop what you like and rock what you cop.
If you grew up wearing Jordan’s, dunks or any other sneakers and you still comfortable in them, wear them. Same goes with tracksuits.
I'm 43 and still wear Jordans and I ain't stopping..
That’s our era, so we’re rocking till the soles fall off.
The Jordan’s I personal rock are the Air Jordan 1’s. Classic yet fashionable and be mixed in with formal wear if done right.
First of all, nobody dictates what I wear if it's not work related. I don't even agree with fashion tips, unless a person asks for that. If I don't like what a person is wearing, that's my opinion. They may love it. I'm going to wear what I want, as long as I like what I see when I look in the mirror. By the way, I'm a woman pushing 42, with over 100 pairs of "tennis shoes". 😅 💯
I think when folks think of people wearing sneakers or Jordan’s they think that means said person’s fashion is underwhelming or childish. Speaking for myself it’s very possible to wear fashionable things with Jordan’s.
I'm turning 54 and restarted my affinity for Jordan's through bonding with my teenage daughter. I stick with 1s-4s OG color waves (breds, black toes & Chicago's) from the days of my youth with a few Palomino, UNC Mocha's, etc in between...I work from home, so my 50+ suits and Gucci loafers get little to no game time unless I'm going to an event. It's all about comfortability & from here on end It's vintage Sergio Tacchini, Fila, and Polo tracksuits for this Ole Head. Ef what you think...
I’m 40 and started collecting since the age of 36 so yeah, I’m a bit late to the game.
Dope fit man
I'm 59 and I still wear them. And Air Max 97's Dunks, Low Jordans; Dunk Retros, in a large assortment of colorways. Shamelessly.
Turning the 4 0 in summer & I just started collecting last year
Dammit I got 10 years of fresh ass Jordan’s left in me
To each its own. Stop listening to other people and listen to yourself. There’s power in that. You’re welcome.
I’m 51 and have well over 200 pairs in my collection. Wear what you like and I could care less about what anyone else tells me is cool. I grew up watching Jordan play and have memories of all his shoes he actually wore. Some of those I had at the time. Love my J’s
ain't stopping . until my blood stops pumping . jordans for life ✊️🙏
My dad is 62yrs old right now and he still rockin' his Fire red 3's and new balancesssss
Im 47 Bought the Olive 4s Palimino 3s an bext Olive 5. All within a year. I feel great
Same. Well, 41 but same shoes.
New Sub here. Don't know how the FUCK I just found your channel but we here for the long haul. Just watched like 10 of your vids. 🔥
I understand being the old dude dressed like a teenager. Of course, that can be ridiculous, but if you know how to rock Jordans, Kobes, Yeezys, etc., and be a stylish middle aged or older person, I say go for it. I refuse to believe that you have to rock Nike Monarchs, loafers, or leather dress shoes just because you're over 40. Some dudes have this arbitrary cutoff but they don't know what they're missing. I'm 44 and I wear my Kobes, and some Jordans all the time, and Yeezy Slides around the house.
Ok so I will approach this as a professional image consultant and have run my firm for over a decade and as a Jordan lover myself.
My first satorial rule of thumb is : Your activity or event will dictate what you wear. If you are going to an event where the vast majority of people are going to be wearing suits or sport coats then you really need to decide if you want to be that person who is going to draw attention to them both good and bad. So consider your event and the audience you are presenting yourself in front of.
If you are going to the park to hang out with friends and family then a pair of Jordans would be a good option. As stated in the video you still want to keep the style in colors pretty subdued.
Example: a pair of Jordan 4 crafts that are dark green suede. Or a pair of the Jordan 3 winterized will add texture, contrast, and color to your outfit.
