I finally managed to find out what these shoes are called: The Air Presto Cage
Has anyone else had any experience with these? They were the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had and I want a new pair that can come close to it. Any suggestions are very welcome.
Ah yes, Prestos were dope. They really were underrated now that I think about it.
You should try the Nike Free/Free Everyday series. They’re the closest thing to Prestos that are out right now (a light, simple, minimalist running shoe that’s still comfortable).
Wow! So much heat in here, it hurts!
I got my grails a few days early:

Getting another pair on Saturday. I gotta get rid of at least 1 of the 19’s though _
**^ I’ll have those shits tomorrow morning like Michael Vick will have a herpes outbreak.
I never had the 99 Retro’s so I don’t care about all the folks bitching about the “differences”. Them 19s look like my projectile diarrhea, but so what. I hear they’re comfortable. After these, it’s time for Jordan to get his hands out of my pocket like that dude that set Malcom X up.**
I would never buy those “IVs”. Jordan Brand made official fakes with those abominations. Shitty quality with mutilated shape, fucked up netting, and wrong lace holders? Yeah, looks like a fake to me. The CDP IIIs aren’t looking too good either. I’m glad JB is saving me from spending $600 which will go towards better things that Nike Retro is bringing out, like Flightposites, Air Pippens, and Air Penny IIs. Nike Running’s been on point too.
**I gotta have em homey. I remember rushing to the mall from school to get them 99 retros and they were sold out because all these simian hoodlums in my city had cut school to get their pairs. I was pissed like Chris Benoit on roid rage. I have to get these to appease myself. Besides, you could spend more on a pair of 99’s than you would this entire pack and the soles could crack the first time you wear them.
The way I look at it, they aren’t fake and they’re better than nothing. I understand how you feel though.**
fuck. :mad:
thats what i get for sleepin on ebay.
If you buy the 1999s in VNDS condition, they will not crumble on you and they usually go for the price of that shoddy CDP, which isn’t so bad. Everyone needs to realize that DS is not the only way to buy shoes.
If you really want the CDP IVs, then more power to you. I’m glad that you like them and I hope that they satisfy your itch for black/red IVs. I refuse to buy them out of principle. The 1999 retros weren’t perfect either because the shape was also a bit off and the tongues were cut higher, etc., but they got enough of the OG look down for enthusiasts to say that they were top quality retros.
Fast forward to 2006 and they bring back the white/fire reds and military blues and they not only change the shape from the 1999s, they also fucked around with the placement of the netting and made the shoes a bit lower in cut to go with the atrocious quality. Why? There was no point in doing that. I chalk it up to JB just being dicks and believing that people will scoop up anything with a Jumpman on it. I bought them anyway because they were OG colorways and only $115 each, so shame on me.
Now in 2008, they bring back the black/reds, which is nice, but they fucked around with the shoes AGAIN and changed the bottom lace holders while keeping the fucked up shape, and wrong netting placement while charging $310 for them because they are packaged with some other garbage? And then claim that it’s part of a tribute to the legacy of Air Jordans and a thank you to the consumer for their support? That is what pisses me off about them. Now this is Jordan Brand really being dicks and saying: “Accept the crap that we give you, and like it. We’re about to take a shit on you, so open wide.” The inside of the CDP boxes mention something about “never compromising”, and I find that hilarious because JB is making all of its fans compromise for a butchered, shitty quality, and overpriced retro. Personally, I would much rather rock my white/cement and black/red 1999s that are BEAT TO DEATH than to rock these CDP IVs. No Nike Air (which really should have been there) on any of the CDPs is one thing, but to fuck around with the overall shape and look of a shoe for no reason is just disrespectful to the legacy of the shoes and to the memory of fans who supported them.
I feel ya man. I don’t have any of the OG 4 colorways so I’m gonna pick them up. I disagree with the fact that there’s 2 black/red shoes in the pack so i’m scratching my head about JB too. Gentry sucks nuts, but I gotta have some IVs. I wanted to have 1 of each air Jordan shoe too so it’s not all bad.
Thanks, I’ll check them out.
**So this OVERSEAS SIMIAN SHOE-SALESMAN finally gave me a tracking number on the hyperdunks today. I had to file a claim with paypal and put the squeeze on him like a blood pressure monitor. I already left him harsh feedback because that’s still bullshit. I gave this douche-nozzle 300 dollars over 2 weeks ago. I’m a patient man, and wouldn’t have minded not having the SHOES now, but got damn. AT LEAST PUT THE SHIT IN THE FUCKIN MAIL.
I’m boycotting eBay like Lindsey Lohan boycotts sobriety from now on. Shit is wack homes.**
Damn. That sucks, Stuck. I’ve personally never had a problem with eBay, but I would boycott it too with an experience like that. I hope you eventually get your Hyperdunks.
My bad if I came off like a shoebox thumping elitist in that rant, too. I’m really passionate about this stuff and unlike most people who claim to be “sneakerheads”, “collectors”, or whatever the hell they call themselves, I care about the history, specs, and details of the shoes that I buy. Seeing JB pulling off their bullshit tactics again when they can give us excellent retros like the May and June CDPs is just retarded. I’m just saying that as loyal consumers we deserve better and I hope JB eventually learns that they can’t get away with Frankenstein fusion crap, fruity-ass retro+ shit, and shoddy retros of OG models, all at rape prices, forever and shape up, but I know it’s not coming any time soon because the majority are too blinded by the hype of the Jumpman to realize that they’re being jerked around. I respect your decision on buying what you like, though. Enjoy your CDPs IVs, man, and good luck with that I-XXIII quest because that’s a hell of a goal.
**I need 1s, 2s, 10s, 11s, 12s, 20s, 22s, and 23s and i’ll have one of each. I don’t want EVERY shoe. Just one of each. I got the CDP this morning and I like the IVs pretty good. Comfortable and the colors are dope. Them 19s though…comfy but I don’t care for looking at them much like R. Kelly’s kiddie porn. Needless to say, I won’t be lookin for any other 19s. How the fuck do you even lace them up? That drawstring shit is wack like Isaiah Thomas’s coaching ability. :lol:
It’s all good about the IVs though. You know your shoes and I can respect that. I’m really pissed with JB for releasing 2 black shoes in the same pack though. That’s just trifling. Gentry sucks nuts like a Bissell vacuum cleaner.**
Even if it’s still one pair from each model, it’s still a hell of a goal. I can’t see myself buying the XVs, XVIIIs, XIXs, or XXIs by themselves, lol. My goal was getting every OG colorway of the Is-XIVs. It’s almost impossible to do because nobody knows for sure how many OG colorways came out for the Is, but I do have every model except the IXs, which I slept on hard when they retro’d in 2002. I’m probably never going to accomplish that goal because I get sidetracked by all the other stuff that comes out. If you pull it off, take a pic of it and I’ll be the first one to give you props.
I agree that having two black shoes in a package is gay. There’s no written rule that every shoe needs to be black and/or white based, so let’s get some blue in these packs, for real. White/blue XVIIs would have made the Carmine pack legendary to me, and Obsidian XIIs with black/royal XIs would have shitted on everything that came out in 2008. I’m glad Gentry isn’t THE man at JB anymore. I heard that he was placed at some other job over at Nike, but I’m not sure it’s going to get any better either. We’ll see.
those 4’s are crap
the og shoe>>>>>>>>>>>>

You serious? That pleases me like fellatio from Liv Tyler.
IN OTHER NEWS: I have a package at my mom’s house. Could it be the hyperdunks i’ve been getting pissed off about like child support payments? I’ll let yall know as soon as I get back home.**
anyone like blazers? i think imma start fuckin with blazers hardbody like i do with dunks
**^ I like blazers. The DQM exclusive ones are some dope colors.
WELL WOULDN’T YOU KNOW THIS HONG KONG HYPERDUNK-HAWKING SIMIAN CHILD SENT MY SHOES. He didn’t double box my shit so the box is doomed like Bow Wow’s upcoming rap album, but the shoes arrived in good shape, legit, and the right size. Forgive the camera phone, but you can easily see why I needed these if you look to the left a little bit (my avatar).**
