two more pair of each from NTers. It was great having what seemed like a lifetime supply of true retro IVs, but with a family and a new carreer I had
no time to wear them. Instead of letting $3,000 worth of shoes crumble into piles of nothing, I sold them along with my other Jordans to other shoeheads
to enjoy and turned a heafty profit.

Don't, I bought a pair of the white cements on this forum after searching for years. The seller stated they were wearable. They were brand new no cloudy air pockets. Wore them to the mall and they started to fall apart. I was so upset, never again will I buy a shoe that's 10 years old no matter what the condition is. I was able to resell them for $250. I lost $200 after spending $450 for them. I originally bought them in 99 both the black and white ones and after a year sold them to get headers for my accord (stupid move). I hope Jordan brand will retro these, I know thousands of sneakerheads will be happy to have these. I have a feeling it's coming.

nice post, dont see those prices or availability anymore
those midsoles look like they were painted over with some fresh white paint......Originally Posted by eciaccord
Here's the pair I was talking about, everytime I look at these pics I wish i wish I would have never wore them. Actually I wish I would have never bought them.
And then after wearing them one time for an hour.
I felt so sick to my stomach after watching my grails and $200 go into the trash can. looks can be deceiving, I always thought clear air pockets and firm soles indicated wearable condition. I guess not. And by the way, just in case youre wondering, I'm 6'1 weighing 215.
After this incident I am not even going to attempt to wear my black pair. Here are some comparison pics I took with the CD IV. I took these pics a few months back. You can feel the thickness in the OG compared to the retro. The OG feels heavier, thicker, and comfortable in the toe box.
