Air Jordan III OG Black Cement returns Feb 2018 - Nike Air on the back

[1978S]

I think these look awesome; would love for the next retro to look like these. Are these the '99s?

Hells no those aren't 99's. That was his point. They look quite different than 99's. Shin guard tongue. Low/long shape. Etc.

Hate when people review a shoe with the hang tag on it all in the damn way. And the ep on his pair.......

 

[pwguy]

For a modern interpretation of the 3, those are looking pretty nice in my opinion. If the leather is good quality I'll be more than satisfied.

I hate when people review the shoe with their entire hands covering the shoe.. gee thanks.. cut if off after 3 seconds.

I wish we had more beautiful female sneaker reviewers. Tired of looking at unprofessional, ugly dudes reviewing shoes trying to make a buck. They pop up all over my recommended Youtube searches since I follow people like Nightwing and Jacques Slade. Just show me the UA shoe! You don't even need to be in the video!

Liking the ep on this pair prolly legit

Nah, edit

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I want a few things in feb, but these really the only thing that matter

That pair that looks good up there is definitely not authentic...

The remaster looks like it’s melting into itself, lol.

leather looking better than tb3

 

[da hen]

Its easy to confuse tumbled leather with good leather. TB3 was a good retro in my humble opinion, love my two pairs

 

[pwguy]

I agree. The Oreo 4s look awesome for example, however, to touch, the tumbled leather really doesn't feel premium whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, that was a solid retro and I love my pair, but looks can be deceiving...it's definitely not premium leather, and tumbled leather can be deceiving. Hopefully I can get these and see for myself; I'll get a pair either way (at retail or bust).

Thats why they look so good.

Yup, got my pair on right now. My favorite 3s, loved the retro.

Was checking around on pre sales for these and saw kicks-crew had them for $210 but then saw that $50 shipping... Yikes

it depends on each shoe, one of my pairs is softer one is straight cardboard. but these BC3 look to have a better tumble/softness

Would you choose better craftsmanship or materials to avoid higher price points?

 

[pwguy]

I choose....they cut their margin by 1-3% and deliver better craftsmanship (which actually hasn't been too bad recently in my opinion) AND better materials. Don't be fooled...these are HIGH margin products even with shipping, marketing, COGS, etc. accounted for.

 

[rbk93]

Is the technology and research that goes behind Zoom, Air, Lunarlon, even Boost, have anything to do with price points?

The overall production is probably low cost to produce but the lead up to the shoes depending on how long it takes and how many people are involved could drive up the pricing.

Looking at the most recent Fire Red 3 retro, leather was super soft compared to the TB3s and I think they didn't have peeling paint on the midsoles either. Whether that's superior quality I don't know, but want to say the 2016 TB3s have much better craftsmanship.

 

[Larry Legend]

I would take literal plastic uppers with exact 1988 mold, of course materials are huge and would absolutely want great leather but to get back to actual AJ3 shape I would do several cartwheels

Give me good materials, I don't mind cleaning up some excess glue/paint!

 

[maxmaxjordan23]

Its so sad how the Fakes can get the skinny EP on the front , but Jordan Brand cannot or choose not to. As usual JB is trolling us.

We're finally back on track lol
