Question about CDP 21s and CDP 4s

airjordans45 · Jul 25, 2009

Hey guys, I have been wearing my CDP 21s to play ball outside pretty much all summer and they really are the most comfortable bball shoe i have ever had.I've got kind of a fat foot and was wondering if any of you that own the CDP 21s know what other jordans have a similar fit? Also I'm thinking aboutbuying some CDP 4s and was just checking if they run a little big or small. Thanks!

Just to let you know...the CDP 4's will crack within 10 wears. Guaranteed.

i wouldnt recomend the 4s to ball in and 21s are comfortable than ur best bet would be to just pick up another pair since they are really cheap now

yes..very true..I wore mine many times, but by the 5th-6th time the white paint peeled off. Little by little..horrible quality.

Damn, that's crazy. I've had the 99 4s for 5 years now and I have yet to see them cracking. JB needs to step it up.

they fit true to size, worn 'em like 5 times, still all good though.

Sad, but true...Started cracking after the 3rd wear. This is what they looked like after about 12-15 wears...
Mind you, nothing but casual walked in these. Nothing extroadinary.

And im only 6'0, less than 180 lbs. Definetely not worth the 180 i paid..

^^Whoa

OP if your looking for some retro's to ball in try the 18.5's, XIX's, XX's (highly recommended), XX1, & XX2. They may not be the mostaesthetically pleasing shoe, but they are comfortable & great for ballin.

my 99 iv's are in good condition being 10 years old..my Cdp iv's are cracking and peeling and I had it less than a year. Only used for casualwear..imagine if you balled in it..haha they would crumble with the first cross over.

thanks for showin that animal thug, im def not buying cdp 4s now

Magic33 · Jul 26, 2009

XXI's are good for basketball, and they're true to size for me.

And the IV's, wow

abstrakt · Jul 26, 2009

What about the III's?? Is the quality degraded as bad on them??

airthompson · Jul 26, 2009

The IV fit true to size. I dont recommend you buying em either. I wore mines about 4 times they didnt crack on be, but after I cleaned em I softly rubbed themidsole and a small part of the black paint chipped off. I was heated just left em in the box.

bradnon · Jul 26, 2009

damn Animal Thug...

money saved.

nicapino · Jul 26, 2009

similar fit/comfort level to the xx1 would be the xx2. Another one that I think is really comfortable is the XII, I dont have cdp's but I imagine thequality on those must suck too, I got some 03 black/red XII and they are comfy.

hotbutter · Jul 26, 2009

lol quality is horrrrrrrrrrrrribgle

airjordans45 · Jul 26, 2009

ok thanks guys, not looking to ball in the 4s but even for casual wear looks like the '99s would hold up even better for me after 10 years than the CDP4s???

cbrooks3 · Jul 26, 2009

the cdp 22s are really good to ball in they look like they are going to fall apart after about a month but they have held up very nicely for them.....
also only like 95 dollars including shipping on citysole so if your looking for a change the cdp 22s would be a good choice

hags · Jul 26, 2009

xx1 and xx2 great for balln!

nycpushhead · Jul 26, 2009

Aight ya ima put my input on this and please trust it,

The same day I brought my cdp 4s I wore it and broke it in, I've worn mine more the 15 times, and there is no cracking and I'm 180lbs, I own about 4pairs of cdp 3s and 4s and the cdp 3s have better material midsole wise then the other 3s such as the fire reds, I've worn my fire red 3s twice 1 weekafter release date in 07 and it started cracking asap, I've worn my cdp 3s 10 times no cracking
I'm just sheding some light on some questions, and yes I have both the 99 ivs and the 2001 3s and I still brought 3 more pairs of each cdp, those are myfavorite models and are worth the buy. But I wouldn't spend money on a cdp ivs 2 years from now to wear midsole will crumble if its not broken into
