The Air Jordan 4 “Countdown Pack” 2008, aka “CDP,” was released on July 19, 2008, and retailed for $310. The retail price was so high because the CDP contained two pairs of shoes. Packaged with the 4s was the Jordan 19. This pack was sought-after because Jordan Brand used the “Black Cement” color scheme.
Air Jordan 4 Countdown Pack 2008 History
In 2008, Jordan Brand launched the “Countdown Pack” series, also known as “CDP” and “Collezione.” The release celebrated the launch of the Air Jordan 23. Two pairs of shoes were released as a package that equaled the number 23. This is why we received the Air Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 19.
While most were excited about the “Countdown Pack” Air Jordan 4 release, some were still upset. Since Jordan Brand used the original “Black Cement” color scheme, people wanted the Nike Air placed on the heels. However, Jordan Brand used the Jumpman logo. Another drawback was the price, which was $310. You did get two pairs of shoes, the second being the Air Jordan 19. Most people who bought the Countdown Pack did so for the 4s; some even sold the 19.
Dressed in a Black, Cement Grey, and Fire Red color combination. As mentioned, the shoes feature the “Black Cement,” aka “Bred” color blocking. Constructed with Black nubuck on the upper with the same shade on the mesh panels and tongues. Fire Red fills in the Jumpman on the tongues, inside of the tongues, and hinted on the outsole. Instead of featuring Nike Air or a Jumpman on the insoles, a special “CDP” patch is stitched on. Other details include Cement Grey on the heel branding, eyelets, liner, and most of the midsole, while White wraps the visible Air unit.
Each pair part of the “Countdown Pack” collection has unique packaging. It comes with a double-stacked box, and the lid slides out. It also has serrations, so you could easily detach one pair if you want to sell it. A special Gold dog tag and booklet comes with the shoes.
