Jumpman Journals would like to welcome you to the family! A community dedicated to the celebration of Air Jordans, the sneaker culture in general, and the love for life.
‘Wherever you are in the world, whatever you call them and however you wear them, it is impossible to escape the humble sports shoe’s rise to global domination. Sneakers have moved out from the sports arena and exploded into popular culture as a fashion staple which simultaneously transcends race and class, yet defines who you are in today’s urban tribes. What we all have in common is a love of trainers, not only because they are ‘cool’, but because the brands and designs are an indelible part of our identity – we are what we wear’.
Sneakers: The Complete Collectors Guide. By U-Dox – 2005
We want to approach it from an artistic, entertaining and social point of view. Sneakers are so ingrained into every aspect of our lives so we want our approach to be the same. It’s all about the love for this culture of sneakers, The Jumpman Journals is a celebration society, a community passionate about the celebration of sneakers.
Let’s start from an entertainment point of view, an artistic point of view, a conversational point of view. All too often the price we pay for sneakers is the story, we’re approaching from a different angle, the price is what it is and that’s not going to change any time soon.
So beyond that it’s what they represent, it’s about the conversations they start, it’s about the value they bring us, not the cash value but the personal value they represent, on some level they represent how we stand. They have this unspoken power to do our talking before we’ve even exchanged words, our trainers are telling people what we’re about, and they’re hearing us loud and clear.
