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

[marztharealist]

Mike wore all kinds of combos '88 AS weekend...

Just imagine if all three colorways dropped, on Saturday, All-Star Weekend 2018, and were limited. The amount of chaos, and ridiculousness, would be more than the 2011 Concord, and 2012 Galaxy Foams combined.

Mike actually only wore the True Blues in 1988 AGAINST the US olympic team during a one-game exhibition when the team played vs. the pros.

He also wore them in Magic's charity game that summer.

 

[JRepp23]

I believe he wore those in the Olympic Games

The 84 and 92 Olympics were the only he played in. He wore Adidas I believe.

Ready for the re-up

Would love for these to look like the 94 retro. It’s not the OG but i think it’s the epitome of the 3. There’ll prob have worse shape than the 2011 and CDP pair tho

 

[1978S]

Ready for the re-up

That elephant print on the right pair.

That elephant print on the right pair.

People trash modern 3s as if some 2001 pairs don’t have the thickest EP of all retros period

 

[cobrab19]

Jeez those almost look like 2 different releases

 

[headdetective]

Yeah it’s terrible

Leather makes up for it.

Now the 11s have passed it is time for images of the men's pair to surface.

These will be ridiculously overhyped

That is what happens when Retro+ trash gets released every week.

honestly I made that post after seeing the reaction to these red 11’s. Horrible cw imo. 2018 BC3’s are about to be hyped to 2011-2012 level

Black Cements coming back and yall couldnt tell nobody?
Haven't bought a pair of Js in years but it's looking like it's time for me to come out of retirement real quick

01 & 94 comparison pic...

i prefered the 94 pale grey to the purple hued 01
01 shorter but with more padding
both examples with that good ele (for what was offered for each release anyway)

Yeah it's not a question, 94s are better.

At this point I just want them to hide the red tongue liner. That would be the biggest improvement.

The lighter elephant print would be the icing.

I've already accepted the big toe strip is prob going to happen.

I hope they hide that red for your sake. That's a detail I never noticed till you started talking about it. But the more I look at old pics of MJ, I get why you want that so much.

 

[All Ready]

I’ve been wearing the white cement 3s almost everyday since the 88s came out

these are a no brainer for atleast 2 pairs

 

[Aquamanjay_]

Many Jordans have the lining showing on the tongue unlike their OG counterparts. It’s the worst on the 4s and 12s to me. Never bothered me with the 3 because I’m not the biggest fan of the og 3

It Fs the design up

 

[JRepp23]

Everyone has their own OCD with details. tonytobacco with the liner on these. And ep details. M marztharealist with the shape and hieght on the 4s. Myself with the 23 on the back of the 7 needs to be thick again. Along with the durabuck material. Shades of red mean everything to us in here. Patent cut hieght and so on. Details to some mean more than others. I accept that it will never be completely true to the original. But still won't keep me from wanting it. Where the hell are the new pics for these?

 

[tonytobacco]

Don't forget backwards jumpmen on the 9s and 11s

It's also been a min since we've had 3m AND NA on the infrareds

Pics are definitely due here

 

[tonytobacco]

The arch and big swoosh on 1s
Clearer netting on the metallics with the leathery heel

And the heel on the 6s too
