The cdp 4's definitely lack quality but its not enough to prevent me from buying them.

Another big difference are the midsoles. Look how stupid the air unit and the foam midsole look. Not only that, but the 99 IV's are comfortable, and youcan feel the responsiveness of the air unit and foam midsole. The newer iv's feel like you are walking on concrete. You cant feel the cushioning.

The quality of the new 4 doesn't suck. My friend at work wears them and they're nice. I can't wait to get them.
yes the quality does suck and you say that they dont because you've never owned OG's. People who know nothing about jordans know that they are lowquality.

The only difference is that the old ones are a "little" better.

I can see it from a distance. You can see it also.
The toe, shape, color. Yeah all those.
I'd still be satisfied with the CDP IV's. They ain't that bad.

i keep hearing people complain about the net not being "parallel" to the wing.
i thought parallel meant that the two things will never intersect. on ALL versions of the iv, the net/wingsintersect.
if the net and wing were parallel, then the net wouldnt be inside the wing. so im confused.
somebody fill me in please.

back in the golden days of j's. iv's would last for months and months beating them to the ground. imagine having retros look like deadstock cdp'sexcept you've worn them for a month already. think about it. or you can think of it the other way. imagine the cdp's look like retros that have beenworn for weeks and this is what you buy from JB right from the shoe store, used looking retros.
there is also a FAT difference in the feel of the retros to the cdp's. the retros feel more solid firm to the feet compared to the weak creasing materialthat can't hold its shape.
this is so annoying talking about the difference to cats that deny there is a difference. this subject has been brought up enough to show that there is adifference BIG or small but there is a difference.
FACE IT.......

the end part of the wing is followed by the up and down lines of the netting......

the older retros are blacker. the CDP IVs have this dark charcoal look. I think its because of the durabuck
