I echo the same sentiments rojanjon. I had to bury my '99s a few years ago too. It is a shame to 'settle' as some people may call it, but I'm a nostalgic person and I don't have time to make an "F-U JB petition/protest" or whatever.

Very nice, such a beautiful shoe.
Everyone who keeps trying to make a case for these resembling the OG's more than the 99's do just needs to stop.
The 2012 retros are a completely different shoe than the originals. The whole shape of the shoe is completely different. The netting is completely different.
So the grey resembles the OG's a little bit more? That's it? People need to stop trying to justify the 2012 retro's as resembling the originals because the fact is that they do not resemble them at all.
The 99's were as close to the OG's that you can get. Even with a new mold on these 2012's the only thing JB managed to get right was the shade of grey they used.
The only thing we can hope for is that these are better quality than the last run of retro IV's and chances are they wont be. The 2011 retro III's were hyped up to be a better quality shoe and have a better mid-sole paint than the previous run of retro's, yet they still suffered from the mid-sole cracking like that of the previous run of retro III's.
It's cool that they're giving us the cool box, paper and what not. But that's the least they can do with the massive price increase.
I rather have a crappy box as long as it ment the price increase gave us better materials, no mid-sole cracking and Nike Air on the back. Obviously not going to happen though.

it seems alot of people are turned off by these. im still going to buy them. reason being is because white/cemen IVs are my favorite IV colorway and one of my favorite Jordans of all time. for me, its not about the shade of grey. Ive always been a fan of the speckling of these..its such a unique feature and was the first shoe to feature it. My 99s sole cracked and even though I sole swapped them, it was hard to replicate the speckle job. with that said, I dont care what the shade of grey is on these...im going to buy them. they could even label these a retro+ and I would buy. Finding wearable 99 retros is near impossible and I dont want to dish out 500+ and have the shoe crumble on me.
99s may have had a great mold and nike air but their shelf life is crap. 2000 Vs and VIs are still wearable, and some 94 IIIs and IIs too, but 1999 4s fall apart easily. that's a of lack of durability right there. its like Jordan Brand cheaped out on the polyeurathene used back then.
