AIR JORDAN 3 BLACK CEMENT - NOVEMBER 23, 2024

[pharaohrache]

Maybe 1 day they will put the jumpman back on there for a throwback lmao mark my words in 10 to 15 years itll happen

With the perfect shape I’d be in for a pair or two of JM branded 3-6 in certain OG color ways.

I'm holding firm. Keeping my 2018s. Pass on these.

@AWOKEN CHARISMA Sorry it was irking me so I had to post your pic right side up to get a good look.

Smooth/non smooth leather aside, these look great. Of course pairs will vary but I like what I see here. Bottom shoe in particular looks like one of reimagined WCs, only black.

Almost smooth leather.

What now?? Is this facts?

I think zsneak said it or sneaker files.... they also said same bout cherrys lol but them jawns came lookin like a cherry split

 

[jordanhead718212]

I don't believe that. They said the 5s were getting an improved mold too, and it somehow got worse

 

[doublemesh96]

If I see one with low even ep I’ll take it

Theres no good reason why Nike can’t get more consistent good quality control on their retros. But one or two factories seem to produce a slightly consistent result.

I'm the exact opposite. Standing in a line for a mass produced consumer product is in no way "community". Not to mention that historically these huge lineups have resulted in violence and robbery. There's nothing even remotely authentic about lining up in front of a pizza place to grab $240 shoes.

Violence and robbery part is definitely not cool. But a slice and some bc3’s sounds good to me. Ha

 

[atxhitter03]

Might be the old guy in me but im really tired of the gimmicks to sell you a product. I would understand going to a pizza joint or doing a scavenger hunt for free shoes, but not for the chance to buy the shoe. Just release the shoe.

How old are you?

Shock drop tomorrow?

Gonna be very interesting after this era and the next run of retros. Like how will they improve em. Still kinda surprised they didn't make these vintage looking or pull a reimagined move and toss some suede instead of leather.

This is actually frustrating imo. If they were going to scrap the reimagined concept, I wish they would’ve just given us the white cements without the aged soles and pull tab.

 

[ozboi]

Paint on midsole will crack after you take 3 steps.

I’m too lazy to find em to even sell em lol but yeah I also meant to type 2018 not 2016 lol…

I’ll keep on beating my worn pair, they surprisingly still look hella good, I try to wear em at least once a month coz they are one of my favorite 3s… also planning to cop 3 pairs of this release

 

[aceofjays]

They were going to make these like that but people started complaining as soon as it was announced lol. Never even leaked a prototype just the word “reimagined” had a lot of people online crying about them. Few days later they came back and said they were just going to make them OG. And they’re still going to sit

I just assume the shoes they’ve reimagined end up getting regular retros next and the other OGs they didn’t reimagine will get some alt treatment even if the reimagined series/title dies. Rinse and repeat.

Now, since JB didn’t Reimagine these, ya’ll know the next retro of ‘em is gonna be suede or patent leather

A slice of pizza and some new kicks sounds great. Standing in a 6 hr line to get a slice of pizza is some kind of dystopian hell that I’d rather never experience

My dad was tellin me back in his day in Brooklyn, a slice and a soda was 25 cents

 

[Magic33]

Yeah fr I can see that. If we live long enough might not even be a change at all next time. The upcoming aqua 8s are gonna be 1 to take a look at. The 2015s were almost perfect.

Not to derail but the 12s getting updated in 2025 got me

I was watching Martin last week, and it's very noticeable how much bulkier and padded the OG's were

Yeah, the padding around the collar on the 12's really needs to be fixed by putting much more padding, that's part of the reason why the retros fit so big.

costco hot dog or pizza and a drink isn't far off if you adjust for inflation

the OG's were 1/2 size long as well
