Wow crazy it's been 10 years since these released. I remember reading in the first issue of Kicks mag that they were releasing. I was in high school whenthese released and had to wait til after school to pick up the black/cements. My pair is still in great condition.

My pair still looks good, i purchased the white/cement-grey joints in May of 99 when i was in the 7th grade. I wore a size 9.5 back then however they had soldout before i could get my hands on them. My moms made me go to school and didnt believe me when i said that they would be gone. When i got home from school ikept on calling every store like every hour and someone brought a size 9 back to the store because it didnt fit so i went up to the store as soon as i couldget there and i purchased them. No cracking or anything but i know that i wont wear them again.

My black/red 4's are still DS and look wearable but I might look at getting rid of them as I will never wear them.......

to enjoy and turned a heafty profit.

Besides the defining version of all, the 1989 Air Jordan IV, the 99 retro is the closest thing to a wearable actual replica. I still don't have the Black& Red IV's, or the White Cement IV's but with time I will aquire a pair of each. Still can't mess with the CDP version which is why I passedlast year.

How is the CDP IV quality? They look like fakes to me in some photos, but I'm going to have to buy some as a back up to my 99 pair.

Fang Bian Mian -I didn't know you were from the UK ...nice post!

I was busy getting married in '99 so sneaker money was tight, I would loved to have got a pair. But as you say, these didn't really blow up on this side of the pond.

Obviously, I made up for it later...
