Anyone agree? Thoughts?
Personally since those retro black/cement IVs dropped in April '99 with the NIKE Air on the soles it was a start of a great era for all sneaker/jordan heads whether you were a casual or die-hard fanatic. I think 2001, maybe 2003 was the start of the decline in retro and retro + supremacy. I remember when all of the retros would drop on Wednesdays and I would skip the first two periods in HS to go get em'. This was an era when sites like Shoetrends, Nikepark, OG NT, Tavis NikeWorld, and even getting that brand new Footaction ad in the newspaper or magazine edition for your release dates
1999: IVs (cements,wht/navy, blk/grey)
2000: Vs (fire reds, blk/metalics, laneys)
XIs (concords, space jams)
VIs (infrareds, midnight blues)
2001: XIs (blk/red, columbias)
IIIs (true blues, cements, mochas)
Is: (royals, silver/gry, blk/red, wht/navy)
2002 and 2003 was cool too, but 1999-2001 will always be the mecca of JB retro IMO.
I apologize for the lack of pics but ya'll should know what these kicks look like from that era by now
