I have the "ORIGINAL" Air Jordan IV from 1989!  You should see how mine have Dissolved, just like the picts above! Nothing left to do but send them back to the Jordan Brand to see if they will compensate me for my lost of OG HISTORY!

Rip JordanIV

did he store this in the microwave oven?

This is why u rock’ em and not stock’ em!

This is very concerning. Sneaker news do a piece on sneaker collector care. Do's and don'ts. Find out what this guy did wrong, and find some cat with near perfect '99 retro 4 breds and show us how he stores them. Based on the pics, the one dude might be right. This collector could be from a country or city with a high amount of humidity and that could have caused the break-down. Or, since he's in the part of the world where fakes are created, they could even be fakes no?? I have no way to verify either way, but that better not happen to any of mine

This is humidity damage. This dude lives in either Malaysia or Singapore which is 70-90% humidity on any given day. Whatever foam they used on older Nikes (pre-2002ish), it soaks up moisture over a long period of time. If they soak up enough the foam just crumbles away. My entire collection of Air Max BWs died this way. Even had a pair of ACG hiking shoes do this too.

Best way to stop it happening is to use silica gel packs in the boxes and dehumidifiers (the disposable ones you can buy in like packs of 4 from a supermarket) in the place where you store the boxes. Wearing them or just taking them out of the box and letting them sit under the AC for a while helps too. Even if you do all of this the paint on the midsole can still crack, but at least they're still wearable.

If you hold em that long, you gotta wear them once and THEN store them, it tightens them up for long shelf life. And MORE retros? Personally haven't bought any Jordans for a few years now, no nike air, cheaper quality, higher price, nah... ive moved on.

luckily the breds are coming this november so he can do a sole swap

so thats what happens when they age or was there an accident? this makes me think something like it would happen to my sneakers

Wear your shoes. Lesson learned. As much as I like 99 iv I wouldn't even buy em. Unless I own em since the time they dropped. (which I passed on for last shots the OG joints when I was a freshman is high school)

I feel his pain, mine aren't Retro's though they were Original Release

You might as ruin them by wearing them, this is a waste

I have a buddy who's mocha 3's did the samething. They were DS and they just turned to cottage cheese like these did.

I'd like to see an article or permenant link on the homepage about the best and/or worst things you can do to preserve the life of your sneakers.  I know there are a lot of collectors on here and they have a lot of proven do's and don'ts.  How about it Sneakernews?

Rock em dont stock em!

I wore mine. The upper look like a 9 but the sole is cracked and falling part to. I think the material choise was wrong. I got some Spacejams from 2000 and the look like new and still are in grest shape. And I live in Germany so it can´t be the weather.

how is this possible? i have shoes that lasted over 10 years.....

the only shoe that had its sole destroyed is a pair of air 180 and thats only a small crack after 7 years or something

We have the technology to rebuild them! Nah soleswap em and rock them bitches!

That is the number one reason as to why you wear your shoes.  Why leave in a box and have them end up like this.

I still have mine in great condition @Rashard79 on instagram you can see the pics..its all about how you store them..mine are wearable still

That right there is why you wear your shoes. They just aren't meant to withstand the test of time

damn looks like a drugdealers pair of shoes

if i look any longer i may shed a tear #RIP

this is a nightmare now i need to re-think on how many years should i keep my shoes then boom release before it turns to dust.

Makes me think I should undeadstock more of my shoe before they crumble apart. I'd like to know how he stores these I'm guessing no where close to properly.

Why?? Why????? Why?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Time for a sole swap.

Damn Son

CRUMBLED! WOW!
