Air Jordan 3 Retro AS NRG Thread

[DB Cooper]

Bid was accepted on SX for $425. Happy to have these on the way.

Now wondering if i should pick up the JTH before they rise any more or wait on potential additional drops.

Been debating as well. Currently for a sz 12 looking at about $1k.

Was trying to hold out for a pair for $400 or less but it looks like that wont happen anymore. Can anyone point me in the direction of an 11.5 for a great price???

My first pair will be here today from stockx. I paid resell for 2 pairs. I was able to get 2013s with ease here in Houston back in 2013, so I didnt mind paying the resell if I had to. My 2013s are getting old and Ive always been a sucker for WC 3s with Nike Air.

As far as quality goes, specifically the leather, if the Free Throw Line pair is built similar to the Black Cement, then 88s win in that department. The perforated ankle collar and mudguard on the 88s were leather, a low grade tough leather, but leather nonetheless. The BC and Im pretty sure the FTL has pleather(Vinyl Feeling) on the mudguard and the ankle collar.

A little late to the party, but some pics of my pair.

My pair from GOAT just got delivered. Comparing it to the BC3, the leather do seem more soft/better quality and the EP is consistent all around. Like any pair it has its flaws but not picky about it. Really happy with them.

My GOAT pair was lost by Fedex. First time ever a package of mine was lost. Hoping the claim doesn't take forever.

That sucks. Hope they will find it. DHL lost my SNKRS BC3 last week so I feel ya.

Hey guys just wanna see if anyone else has a crappy pair from StockX like me. To be honest Idk how this passed the quality check with creases on the right shoe or am I just overreacting here

These are beautiful. Your foot inside the shoe should remedy that. I'm particular as they come, but these are FRESH.

If you don't already have a pair of 88s, it would be a complete waste of money to invest in a pair now.

They were released at the tail end of one of the most horrific eras of JB quality in 2013.

There will almost certainly be a fresh retro coming out shortly with the proper 2-piece rubber application of "Nike Air", instead of the atrocious single-molded, painted on version.

It's funny that everyone is lauding the quality on the 2013 pair now, when everyone was completely trashing it back in the day.

It was a welcome surprise at the time, but certainly not at the level of this year's AJ3 retros.

88s were good quality tho

Now if we’re talking 2011’s, those were terrible

Most people was not complaining about the actual quality of the '88's, there were complaints about the craftsmanship of mismatched elephant print for the most part. The elephant print on both of my pairs was solid. The leather quality was definitely solid.
