Retros get their big breakUnlike the first series of retro Jordans in the mid-90s, the retro Jordans were an incredible success starting with the Retro in 1999. When the IV's were retro'd 1999 in white/black and black/cement grey it was crazy. Stores sold out after a few hours and everyone seemed to want a pair. As you can see a totally different approach to when the I's, II's and III's were first retroed.Nike, or Brand, realized that this was a golden opportunity to cash in so they started releasing so called Retro+ models. These had a similar design to the original but featured new colors or some minor design changes. There have been different reactions to the Retro+ models and not all of them have been positive but they seemed to sell pretty well so probably most people were happy with them. The iv is also the first laser etched retros to be released. An online exclusive created 2 days of chaos across the US as thousands of heads tried to logon to Nike's website to buy the limited sneakers. Nike released 2 colors of lasered 4's and there are samples floating around of 2 more colors (all red and all blue). Brand is set to retro more 4's in 2006. If all rumors are true on releases, there will be a total of 6 colorways released which would bring the total of retro colorways to 16! The is a legendary shoe and will always be one of the most coveted models in the line.
