Just when you thought your Air Jordan collection was on point, it’s dulled to a rounded nub with this sick compilation by Mark Bostic of Detroit. Over the year’s he’s amassed a mind-blowing collection of 727 pairs of Air Jordans – originals, Retros, PEs, Fusions – as well as some notable memorabilia in the form of jerseys, basketball, Wheaties boxes, and many more. Clearly the space above ground was becoming limited, so he transformed his entire basement into on huge heat-filled vault that he calls ‘Basement of the J’s’. Continue reading for some sample viewings of this amazing collection of Air Jordans and head to Sneaker Freaker for the full interview and feature.

Dudes gotta have some serious connections
December 4th, 2011 at 9:14 pm
now he is what I would call a true jordanhead he has everything and then some. majority of jordan lovers cringe at the site of fusions let alone almost everyone that was ever made under one roof.

December 4th, 2011 at 9:25 pm

Jumpman
December 4th, 2011 at 10:41 pm
….sigh. When you collect this many it becomes ridiculous. Can't even take care of shoes at this point. He should donate or sell these. Most of these shoes probably haven't been touched in decades.
December 4th, 2011 at 10:43 pm
i watch this dude on YouTube, his shoe collection is fucking crazy.
December 4th, 2011 at 10:47 pm

Bananas..Dude had to have worked and or had a major hook up to get his hands on constant heat
December 4th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
Holy crap!!

December 4th, 2011 at 11:30 pm
Alright Rick, these comments are getting old…
December 4th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
Your Payless Shoes collection don't count as heat!
December 4th, 2011 at 11:35 pm

December 4th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
Identity theft Is A Serious Crime
December 4th, 2011 at 11:42 pm
ONE WORD—-UGH
December 4th, 2011 at 11:48 pm
That would suck so much if he got a flood
December 4th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
Lets take this one straight to the foot game
December 4th, 2011 at 11:55 pm
I've been knowing about this guy's collection. His brother played in the NFL. THAT'S how he can afford the "heat".
December 5th, 2011 at 12:08 am
there's no such thing as too much or ridiculous when its your passion……. what are you even doing on this site?
December 5th, 2011 at 12:13 am
one of his connects was that damn reseller fraydog before they had a falling out then everyone turned on jumpman and sided with fraydog, who buys out the limited stock to sell for a huge profit smh.
December 5th, 2011 at 12:35 am
Met this dude at kixpo, cool guy. He's been collecting since Air Jordan day 1.
December 5th, 2011 at 12:36 am
dont make Payless jokes, Payless HAS serious heat!! shaqs? reebok? sketchers? Serious heat!!!! lol
December 5th, 2011 at 1:13 am
not to sound stupid what what is PEs?
December 5th, 2011 at 1:31 am
funny how youtubers keep saying team beaters in reference to him when there isn't not one regular joe shmoe that can see him on any day when it comes to this shoe game.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:13 am
Lol you're a dumb ass ! Jumpman and fraydog313 only knew eachother for a couple months. He had NOTHING to do with his collection.
December 5th, 2011 at 2:14 am
He was a police officer.. Im pretty sure he can afford his own stuff lol
December 5th, 2011 at 2:25 am
woooooow.. tears of joy…
December 5th, 2011 at 2:26 am
100% serious on J's
December 5th, 2011 at 2:47 am
so I guess he wears a pair a day and two years later he resets?
December 5th, 2011 at 2:53 am
So i buy from Fraydog313 still that means im a bad reseller buyer? I support him so he can get his own store one day. He makes it possible to get shoes that i wouldn't be able to get and he got me two shoes signed by the man himself MJ . And i bought from Fraydog313 so jumpmanbostic could get a shoe from me as a gift the Bordeaux 7s cause i had a problem and watching his videos helped me. Im loganjbaez and javyjavbaez from YouTube.
December 5th, 2011 at 3:06 am
Micheal Jordan Himself should go meet this dude and sign some of em for them it would be super dope
December 5th, 2011 at 3:56 am
You know you got mad kicks if you gotta start putting Numbers & Pictures on your boxes. Much respect to my man Bostic. One of the sickest collections i've ever seen

December 5th, 2011 at 10:36 am

Daaaaamn, this guy has an ill collection. Much respect. I hope you got insurance man! I'd hate to hear that all this was ever lost to a disaster. Shit happens….
December 5th, 2011 at 11:52 am
Nope, never bought 1 pair from that guy and never will. I was only trying to help, not a connect for me at all.
December 5th, 2011 at 11:59 am
….lol, all my shoes are size 13 or 14. If u saw a size 11 it was me showing my oldest Sons collection of shoes. I wear my shoes also.
December 5th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Oooops…I must have struct a nerve on Rosie's domestic partner.
December 5th, 2011 at 12:48 pm
How? This collection is one of the best ever but how is it better than Shoezeum's? Shoezeum has a J collection, an SB collection, a Nike classic Bball collection, and a retro Nike Running collection.
December 5th, 2011 at 1:47 pm

First and foremost, I'm so proud of this man. It was amazing enough for me to interview him for my blog back in August, to now seeing him on every site. I love his craft, and I definitely support his Basement of J's movement. Check out his interview http://marvelousgotsole.com/2011/08/18/sole-of-a-…

My brother has nothing to do with my collection, that sounds really stupid. But I'm sure a lot of people think that. My brother and I are close but sorry to say he didn't have anything to do with this.
December 5th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
