The white/cement and black/cement III's were retroed first in 1994. Then the white/black/red and black/red I's and white/black II mids and lowsfollowed in 1995.
The IV's were retroed in 1999....And then everything else!

Correct. Came with the first ever "retro card", with a mini-photo of the Air Jordans 1 - 9 poster on one side.

Contrary to popular belief, Air-Jordans.com is misinformed on alot of info. However, they're still the top resource for getting most Air Jordan info.
The III's were probably retroed first since they were more popular.
the elephant print has something to do with that

I love my '94 Retro IIIs. They're surprisingly durable and I still where them around.

Most people were too caught up with the newer J's to give a damn about any retros. I was too young and too immature at the time to care, oh well.

I also copped the III in 94. They were very durable and great quality as well. I just remember that the leather was so good and tough that those shoes gave methe worst blisters I've ever had on the sides of both my big toes. Now all you get is this pleather stuff sans blisters. I guess blisters are something youpay for with real leather. lol
