AIR JORDAN 3 BLACK CEMENT - NOVEMBER 23, 2024

ADVERTISEMENT​
So..I got mine from the shock drop and put em on this morning. Out of the gate…the quality in these is garbage compared to other models. The leather looks and feels cheap..the tongue is maddddd short….and the real kick in the nuts was the thin plastic hang tag on a damn zip tie! JB is literally releasing what we they eat and charging more for it.
Facts lol. They definitely feel cheap in-hand. The leather just doesn’t compare to the bred 4’s earlier this year or the playoff 13’s from last year. I had every intention to put mine on this morning but changed my mind as I was getting dressed just in case I decide to return them. I’ve never returned a pair of Jordan’s in my life.
 
Can’t even take you or your criticisms seriously if you’re complaining about the OG plastic hangtag on a “zip tie”.
lol I get you on that one and knew I was gonna get it for that but hell…for 220…we should get all the perks.

The real issues are tied to the price of these joints. It’s just another sign that they’re taking shortcuts on material and quality and charging the new standard.

That plastic "zip tie" was what Nike Air kicks had in the 80's. That's why they'll throw it on some of the OG models like the Air Max 1 when they retro now.

That plastic key chain that turns an awful piss yellow was never OG. It's like complaining about a jumpman not being on the back.
 
Loving my pair, wasted no time throwing them on

Early pair came in. Think I'm good look fine to me. Thought I wouldn't like the light ep but it's not as light as I thought in person. VW1 gang

Having these in hand.. I can see they went with Reimagined BC leather. Def a step up from 2018s but the EP and toe box inconsistencies are wild on these let alone worrying about shape. If by chance you get a decent pair.. they’re nicer than I thought.

I think this is it right here.. IF you get a nice pair, they are def. a really good shoe... but you really gotta get lucky.
 
Will see what my early SNKRS pair looks like today and that will determine what I do this weekend.
 
I didn't get access for some reason. Wanted to cop a pair for my homie. My SD pair supposed to be delivered today.
 
They must have a million pairs on hand. Foot Locker just sent me a reservation email too. Explains why quality control on some of these is buns.
 
Not sure if I should keep the pair I have in hand or wait for Black Cat 3s.
 
I’m not mad at FTL and FNL for using loyalty programs to give people a leg up on releases, but I haven't spent a dime in either of those stores in ten years.
Where do you normally shop for kicks?
