There are collectors and then there are collectors. Kemp7USC recently showed off his impressive Air Jordan sneaker and jersey collection on Kenlu and it definitely deserves some recognition. This dedicated sneakerhead/Jordan appreciator has put together a mouthwatering stockpile of Jordan goods that includes multiple colorways of the first 23 Air Jordan models, as well as several Spizike versions. To add to that, he also has just about every team jersey that Michael has ever put on from Laney High School, to North Carolina, to the Chicago Bulls, to the All-Star and Olympic teams, to the Washington Wizards/Bullets and everything in between in home and away colors in many cases. In addition to his Jordan collection, there are a couple other random Nike shoes of interest in these pics, such as multiple pairs of Heineken Dunks and ten pairs of the very limited Nike Air Max CB Nelly edition. You can get a look at the entire collection after the jump, so take some time to appreciate what has no doubt been a long term labor of love for this focused collector.

This is an unbelieveable collection. Having said that, it seems a little extra to have 5-6 pairs of the same shoe.

THIS GUY IS THE JORDAN GOD
April 29th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
i wish i had just a fraction off that
April 29th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
WOW.!NUFF SAiD.!MUCH RESPECT.!
April 29th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
this guy is one of those guys that works at finishline, hoards all the product for himself and leaves folks high and dry to deal with the bay. Doubt he’s serious just greedy.
Hell, he probably flips em on the bay himself for a 300% profit.
April 29th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
damn, hes wasted thousands on those most likely. even if hes being greedy like these people say its still an amazing collection.
April 29th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
yo is dis guy rich or does he steal? he has probably like 20 pairs of jordans + the jerseys he must a have wasted like 1,000,000 on dese or even more. props to you man.
April 29th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Not impressed. Ive been in the game for 9 years and i have 95% of what i see. Good collection but can we see samples or p.e’s? Thats the real jordan heat.
April 29th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Wow.
April 29th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
talk bout orgasmic…hey black out yu dount have 100% of wat yu c so shut it…
April 29th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
If I had the dough this guy has….yaw would never see my collection. Im stingee like that. Never no showoff. I respect those who search long & hard 4 their shoes, & work hard to earn money to buy their shoes. Id rather get a new whip, or another crib somewheres, thats how much those jordans are worth.
April 29th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
WTF does this guy do for a living……
April 29th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
I have a Nike Account
I’ve had it for 15 years.
I’ve got 2 CDP’s of all that came out last year along with a LOT of other retros.
If I really wanted, I could have taken 3-5 total.
We still have some CDP’s also, so I can take it all home, take pictures, bring them back to the store.
I can say “I bought all these, this is my collect” when in reality it’s just part of my inventory I’m selling.
Not impressed at all considering that I can top that. I just don’t have the time, running the store and doing stuff like this.
April 29th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
wow this guy is dedicated. but it seems kinda crazy to have 20 of the same jersey
April 29th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
What’s up with the all black 9′s? Did he die his olives? If so, weak.
April 29th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
I have no respect for people like this. He has alot of Jordans, but there is no variety in his kicks. He has the same kicks in the same colours. Makes no sense. And most of his shoes are from the Jordan packs, so basically he just bought them in the last couple years, they aren’t retros, he just went to the store (chances are he works there and just takes home kicks) and just bought most of the shoes in his size. Makes absolutely no sense. This is greed, not love.
April 29th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Unnecessary but so Necessary!
Respect ma dude.
April 29th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Great Collection mane. Keep it up. Kicks are the root to all evil!!!
April 29th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
the shoes are impressive, but the jersey are weak they are all replicas if your gonna rock a jersey it should be an authentic.
April 29th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
man his sneaker game is sick … i thought i had alot of jordans ! i only get the j’s that come out in the store do you know where i can some excusive j’s and air forces?
April 29th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
this is sick. love u man
April 29th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
looks like he might need a lil therapy. OCD…maybe. I love sneakers too…but 8-9 pair of the same..hmmm. kinda fishy. lol
April 29th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Take out the CDP’s and then rate it… Not much to look at after that!
April 29th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
OKAY COLLECTION. SEEMS LIKE OVERKILL THO. THE ONLY J’S I WOULD HAVE 2 PAIR OF ARE THE 11′S MAYBE THE 23′S, 1′S, 12′S & 13′S
WHERE ARE THE 23′S IN FINAL BLACK/RED & UNIVERSITY BLUE/WHITE THAT ONLY RELEASED TO 23 STORES? EVEN I GOT A PAIR OF THOSE.
OKAY COLLECTION. ALL DUDE DID WAS STAY ON TOP OF RELEASES & JUST A PAIR OR A JERSEY FROM THE STORE AT THE TIME WHEN THE CERTAIN ITEM WAS RELEASED.
April 29th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
& SOME OF THEM J’S WERE NOT WORTH BUYING EVEN 1 PAIR. LIKE THE FUNNY TOUNGE ONES OR THE 22′S
April 29th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
not impressed at all, i got just as much heat if not more, check my stuff out at niketalk,my stuff is hawttt
April 29th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
He has a rack of kicks but it looks like he just got into them cuz most of these are recent releases. Impressed with the quantity but not the quality.
April 29th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Ive seen way better on niketalk and iss. Most of these are newer models and can easily be aquired if you have the money. Not impressed at all.
April 29th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Not bad for a countdown collection, by which I mean his collection was bought and not accumulated. I could surpass his collection without CDPs. Where’s the Premier XX3s? Where are the true blues? Where are the grapes? Where are the limiteds? Where are the OGs?
A mediocre collection for an amateur with cash…
April 29th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Nice collection but why SO MANY OF THE same pairs yo. I can see maybe 2 pairs for each shoe. One to rock and one to store away in the closet. But that is just ridiculous to have 3-4 pairs of the same thing. And 15 of the same jersey.
GOTTA BE BOOTLEG lol j/k
April 29th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
damn damn makes my collection looks so so. peace
April 29th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
all i kno is that i think i might have fallen in love
April 29th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
DEM 12′Z .!??!? DAAAMMM DHIZ COLLECTION IZ TUFFF LIK . $$$
April 29th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
wonder who gets all the shoes when he passes away…that’d be a waste.
April 29th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
You can’t hate. That’s OWT-rageous. (U pick that up?) But like mentioned before, some certified CLASSICS are MISSING. NO jordan collection, no matter how great (and this one is GREAT) will ever be complete without the JEWELS.
April 29th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
C’mon man. Alot of yaw are some new jacks to the game. Dude gets no honor. We really don’t know science on this collection. U all should read the responses, so you can have more insight from real SNEAKER HEADS who know the game! SUCKAS!
April 29th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
I agree with most of ya’ll, he has no variety, and mad pairs of the same shoe. Trust me I work for Foot Locker So I know how easy to get a discount on J’s. Besides all his stuff is Retro, No OG heat. I’ve seen 14 year old’s with 94 1′s so step ya game up chief!!!
April 29th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
respect but he aint a jordan head until he add fire red v’s and red n white 12′s
April 29th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
congratz on the collection…i have nothing but respect to your dedication for obtaining those sneakers!!!! i cant hate on you…it a very healthy collection of sneakers and i cant understand how ppl hate on you b/c you dont have a specific sneaker!!!!!..i guarantee you when the spacejams comes out, ppl will cop at least one!!!!
April 29th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
A collector ? More like a Salesman .
He’s BS . Just some sales man for some local sneaker store that took the time to bring some kicks back to the crib and snap some pictures . And than bring it back .
April 30th, 2009 at 1:34 am
i dont think hes a real collector~ lol
thts very suspected
nuff said
April 30th, 2009 at 1:51 am
Not bad but could be better. All I see are recent ones. Where are the OGs my friend. You call yourself a dedicated jordan collector yet you do not have OGs. Sell some of them multiples so you could get the heat.
April 30th, 2009 at 4:46 am
Alot of haters here…. All talk. Show your “heat” if you gots it.
April 30th, 2009 at 5:12 am
I’m not impress. Money can talk (which is what the guy is showing) but he lacks originality and creativity. Most of the pairs that he have are 2005+ releases which can be easily obtained if you have the money – not to mention most of it are CDPs.
You have a lot of doubles, tripples and even quadrupples in the same colorway, what for? Where are the classics?
April 30th, 2009 at 5:47 am
What a waste of money!!!
April 30th, 2009 at 9:06 am
lol at all the “respect” he’s getting. if you live in the city (NY) you can come up on these easy. im not a big jordan fan and i have a few of these, none from packs either… real sneaker heads collections is diverse…
April 30th, 2009 at 9:53 am
Congrats on the collection! but REAL talk i have alot more Exclusive J’s than him, not as many of one pair but more exclusive. NOt hatin big ups!
April 30th, 2009 at 10:18 am
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 30th, 2009 at 10:24 am
impressive amount of sneakers
but….
all of these were bought within the past couple of years
this guy is not a collector…
he is a greedy guy that recently came into some money and decided to splurge
also….
15 of exactly the same jersey?
[[lame]]
April 30th, 2009 at 10:30 am
also….
where are the grape 5′s
only one pair of the black/red 7′s
no french blue/white7′s
no white/grey 9′s
the french blue/flint grey 13′s
and only one colorway of the 15′s
—————————
before you spend insane amounts of money on jordans
make sure you get the ones that matter first
April 30th, 2009 at 10:34 am
WORD!
April 30th, 2009 at 10:49 am
no disrespect thiiz iz an awesome collection. but these are all new releases. an y do u need more den 2pairs of tha same kicks. like he jus came up but i give him his props
April 30th, 2009 at 11:12 am
This dude has issues…Someone call Dr. Phil!!! Not sure why he has so many of the same sht, unless he’s selling them…i have to argee with a few people on here…this ain’t no collection a RESPECTED collection would be someone who kept their very first Jordans till the last pair of Jordans, ORIGINAL ONES not the re-re-releases lolol…This is Wackness spend all that cash for what? The Jordan name has lost alot of value thanks to the idiots at NIKE who keep re-releasing let’s say the Retro 1 and keep making all these ridiculous colorways killing the Brand…
April 30th, 2009 at 11:34 am
Good stuff, but it is not that impressive. The oldest shoe in out of all the pics are a pair of OG 16′s. Like I said no hate but it looks to be the collection of someone with money who’s just getting in the game. A lot of newer stuff nothing to get excited about.
April 30th, 2009 at 11:47 am
fuk yo countdownpacks homie i rock starburys 4 days
April 30th, 2009 at 11:49 am
if i had a dollar for every wack ass count down pack i saw i would have enough money to buy a pack
inoe
sfc
April 30th, 2009 at 11:50 am
fuck sneaker news… and your countdown pack
April 30th, 2009 at 11:51 am
yo momma is slustsssss
April 30th, 2009 at 11:51 am
i fuked that hoe
April 30th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
If dude sold all these, maybe he wouldn’t be in such a crappy apartment. Who the hell needs 4 Jordan Bullets jerseys? Overkill, or as suggested above, just a guy who took merch home and took flicks then took the product back.
April 30th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Just seems like a new collector with a ton of money, he got a lot of shit…but damn near all of it dropped in the last 2 years.
I’m not hating, his collection has a ton more shit than mine…but I’ll take the variety and age of a lot of mine over his any day.
April 30th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
So what happened after the jordan 12s? He must have ran out of money i guess.
April 30th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Bumboclot
This collections is sick!
April 30th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
pics look nice but nothing too wow about a real sneaker collector will see the same
April 30th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
“He’s a beast in the shoe game” a true collector but I just have 1 question. HOW NEED YOU DO IT.
April 30th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
This is for all that replied to this dudes collection. Im hearing alot of props and congrates, but im also hearing BIG HATE. True he may not be a sneakerhead in the true since right now but you got to admite hes on his way.
April 30th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
yea i must admit when i saw them i was like this is a nice collection. and i didnt see alot of things that are older in a way. but it is a wonderful collection. because some of the shoes i see i wish i still had but other than that i wouldnt even be mad.. regardless he has the love for the shoes and i think that makes him a true sneaker head.
April 30th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
on the real though, thats a lot of wasted money. but to each his own. i thought you were supposed to wear your kicks. one to rock, one to stock, one to admire, one to jack off to? thats the problem these days, hyperconsumerism has taken over the game.
April 30th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Dog u must be a rich nigga
April 30th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Thats a blessing of gog
April 30th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Thats a blessing of god
April 30th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
This isn’t that amazing. It is expensive, but it’s not rare. And tbh, there are plenty of Jordan collections that beat this in price too.
April 30th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
im just impress OF HOW MANY DMP PACKETS HE GOT
April 30th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
jordanism lol ……………..
April 30th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
yo he must have mad money cause thats a waest he got the same pairs of js
April 30th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
it’s nice but too many of the same shoes not even hating on him it be nice if he had the orignal shoes
April 30th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
ok, ok he has a bunch of shit but like a few mentioned before, i have most of this too, although i dont buy the shoes 2 and 3x i have them. oh and yeah about the jerseys i have them as well with the exeption of the wizards and also not to mention that my jerseys are Authentic u know the ones the players use and yeah all nike and in some cases procut. size 50 w/2″ of added length.
clearly this is a reselling hypebeast footlocker employee.
w.e. he has a bunch of shit
April 30th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
whtf
May 1st, 2009 at 1:59 am
this collection is weak. I don’t see anything pre 2001?
May 1st, 2009 at 9:01 am
His collection is ok.
I agree with alot of people. Nothing rare seen
Hit me up at shoepimp23@aol.com

May 1st, 2009 at 12:36 pm
This is probably a guy who has an account with JB who sells shoes…..He showin off his inventory maybe!! They are nice whough…woulda loved to see some originals or PE’s
May 1st, 2009 at 3:34 pm
It must be nice for MOMMY AND DADDY TO HAVE A LOT OF MONEY.
May 1st, 2009 at 4:18 pm
great collection but he should have gotten dif shoes instead of 3 of each.still a freaking great collection wish i had that same kind of cash.
May 1st, 2009 at 6:13 pm
thats ROUGH!!!
May 2nd, 2009 at 11:07 am

May 2nd, 2009 at 12:04 pm
this guy has got too much money!
May 4th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
how do u even decide wat 2 wear everyday?
May 6th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Where can I get that Black Pin Stripe Chicagp Bulls away jersey? I need that in my life.
May 6th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
I THOUGHT I HAD A LOT OF AIR J’S UNTIL I SEEN YOUR COLLECTION!!!!!!!!
BUT THOSE 15′S FLIGHT CLUB’S ARE CLEAN BUT YOU DON’T HAVE NO TITUNAM 23′S, FINALE 23′S, OLD LOVE 23′S, OR ANY 6 RINGS…………
BUT TO BE HONEST DO YOU NEED A FRIEND??????LOL
May 8th, 2009 at 11:43 am
With da money he wasted on da numerous cdp,(if he wasted any) he could of bought a lot of real heat no just the same shoe. I believe that you should have 1-3 pairs of the same shoe.one to rock, second to keep in its box,and third if your into to sellin.
June 8th, 2009 at 1:20 am
he shud get slapped real hard in the back a his head for wasting so much on the same things, wat an asssss
June 21st, 2009 at 2:48 pm
all yall hatin’ . but ain’t nobody posted up their collection.
so until then – he the truth. hands down .
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:14 am
duuuude… very nice, i think dudes from HK or TW. it’s a damn nice apartment, all that marble ( for all the haters from the USA, his apartment is equal to a 5 bed , 4 bath in america, well over 700K). if you don’t know, now you know. HK is where i got most of mines, if you got hook ups, there’s so many places to get em. Some Taiwan peeps be flyin out to HK overnight just to get em then fly back. some of these even go on sale if your lucky. wonder what kind of car dude drives.
December 3rd, 2009 at 10:41 pm
my original jordan #3′s from 1986-1987 r better then all those combined. F the retro’s. Mine can’t b bought!
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:21 am
this is an impressive collection but its veru excessive also. one pair of each is how i do it.
January 10th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
this guy is a GOD!!!!!!
how bout u sell me one of each retro for 100 =] lol
May 14th, 2012 at 3:47 am
insane.
