AIR JORDAN 3 BLACK CEMENT - NOVEMBER 23, 2024

Yeah my main complaint with the 24's is the elephant print. I don't have major issues with anything else.

With so many pairs made, just gotta buy another if you want a perfect pair. Yall should be used to Jordan's QC by now. :lol

PO
 
Nike went to synthetics long ago to cut costs. One thing no one mentions is that even though there’s high quality materials on stuff from NB, Saucony, etc… true high grain full hide leather has become less and less prominent in sneakers, especially basketball shoes.

It’s not sustainable and becomes less sustainable to source every year. And economically the cost to source enough full hide leather for an entire run of hundreds of thousands of shoes is almost impossible. Even with NB you rarely find a full hide leather predominant shoe made in GR numbers.

For sure, makes them lighter too. It makes sense to want to cut down weight on a shoe meant for basketball. Good point about the sustainability.
 
Got my SD pair in… came in 2 days early… my sons pair is supposed to come in tomorrow…

I’m satisfied with my pair 🤙🏽
 
Some people just know what they like and how they like it. I’ve been wearing Nike/JB all my life and I’m 40. After so long it just becomes a part of who you are. Other brands don’t even cross my mind so it’s not a refusal. When I want a quick burger I go to McDonald’s, when I want a shoe I head to Nike. It’s really not that deep.

Yeah but imagine only ever eating McDonalds your whole life when you eat out. Can that person be happy? Sure, but from the outside it seems odd. 🤷‍♂️
 
Man, I just got home and pulled my pair out of the box and I'm SUPER happy with this release! EP is a little inconsistent, and the toebox is a hair boxier than I'd hope for in a perfect world, but I still love 'em. Obviously haven't worn them out yet, but with a quick on-feet around the crib I am very pleased, outside of some potentially rub on my ankle bone. I really like the leather on the upper. It's thin and soft. VW1 for my size 12
 
LoI don't recall them be easing to get. I stood on line at Niketown for like 3 1/2 hours. Those were the days.
They were easy to get... atleast for me. I didn't even remember they were supposed to release and went to Fordham rd in the Bronx a lil after 10. Walked past a Footlocker and was like oh sh*t!! Went in got on line and one of the employees told me I had to buy something from Nike to get the kicks. Bought some socks.. got the kicks n was on my way. Really Good times.

You can’t comprehend analogies? People just have certain things they like in life. I personally don’t even eat McDonald’s anymore because I don’t care for quick burgers like I use to. But if I ever were to get the urge for one that’s where I’d go. Some people only like certain car brands. Some only certain electronics brands. I’ve personally only ever owned iPhones when it comes to smart phones. Why? Because that’s my preference. I’ve never even considered an alternative because I don’t care enough. It’s life.

Unbreakable mentioned that 80s and 90s babies keep JB alive I see no lies 🤣
I was thinking about this the other day as I was wearing these. It's like I'm getting back at the world for the young kid that had to watch everyone else wear them, when he wasn't able to get a pair. The fact is, the world didn't care then or now :lol:
 
Picking up pairs for the fam, grabbing a size in each category (adult, gs, ps, td)…hoping it’s a smooth weekend. Entered multiple raffles and will cop any and all I win. Been saying this but I’m “retired” after these so I’m picking up whatever I can get my hands on.
 
Yeah something is up with the site. Never had that happen before.
Works now. Got my pair. Had to pair shipping but had no tax. Tax would have been more than 235 if I wen through SNKRS or FTL.

Odd is you trying to dictate someone else's level of happiness.
 
My left shoe is perfect. Legit spot on.

The right shoe look like it came out the flea market.

Gotta send em straight back sadly. 230 a little steep for mismatch shoes.

Real quick how old are you?

Why do you hate JB?

Because according to this thread you should be happy and grateful with whatever shoe JB blesses you with and are being ridiculous if you think otherwise.

If that's what pleases that person, what does it honestly matter to you?
