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

[Deleted member 42060]

Toe box pretty wide

It seems for IIIs to some VIs, I try to push the toe box to be flat as possible (like slanting them) when I rock em.

Why the tb3 $20 more without the nike air tag and worse quality than these, I feel ripped off. In for these though

 

[the 718 truth]

Pics are very discouraging

Just don't understand why they can't make the low EP in the front. That looks like the Fakes Back in the day. They had that sample from 2014, why not just make that exact shoe!!!!!!!!!!! They have the OG , 1994, and 2001 at their disposal so they know what it looks like. I am going to cop 2-3 pair but if the front EP looks like that pair on the page before, I will send them all back. These are one of the only OG's that I have never had in my possession and actually worn, so I was really hoping for something special. Shame on me for thinking JB would reward us with something that looks somewhat OG since that is what is going to be on the box. Very Disappointing

It's Jordan Brand they will never make them exactly like the OGs. Either accept it or pass.

This.

I think the reason is so they fit more peoples feet. There’s more people with fat feet now than there was in the 80s. At least that’s the only good reason I can come up with

I’m dying
They look good to me though I definately will be copping a pair

 

[Iceman92]

I mean it could be worse I guess in for a pair

 

[lamekilla]

The price drop is an apology for these being extremely limited

 

[af1 1982]

Complaining, complaining, complaining.

Yet legit everyone copping anyways. No idea why people spending 200 on something they **** on so hard

 

[Quiggles706]

Should be a easy cop based off the hate for these? Lol...who am I kidding. You kids have money to burn hahah

 

[thegamemodo9]

I never had high hopes, so whatever lol.

Not a fan of the toe box, the high toe EP, or the red sock liner rolling over the tongue, but was expecting all of it.

These are a GR though. That limited thing doesn’t start until the second half of ‘18 (excluding Concords I’m assuming)

 

[JRepp23]

Well, I think they look great. I understand some of the disappointment, but were never gonna get everything we want. But I'm satisfied with em.

 

[blackmondays]

It’s just frustrating but I deal with it.

 

[big daddy 8523]

I've never doubled up in my life and have never missed any release I have really wanted never and this will be a double up. This Nike Air thing is what I have always wanted and besides the banned 1's no other shoe has caused me to even consider it but 2 pair will be had.

Agreed. I'm pretty pleased with them. Quality and shape looks much better than the tb3 fiasco. Cant wait to hold em in hand to judge the leather.

Not extremely limited. But almost 2/3 less than the true blue

 

[sthebest]

They look pretty good to me.

At the end of the day, no one is putting a gun to your head and making you buy these shoes. If you like them, then cop. I you want to nitpick, then save your money and buy a soleswapped pair.

Pass like Nash

 

[All Ready]

hate when people critique quality and comfort off pics

none of you know

let the shoe drop and make up your mind then

yall must have a special texture app

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

Tbh, the internet (mostly NT) is the only place I ever see people complaining about leather texture and feel. Your average, everyday, casual sneaker buyer really doesn't give a crap.

Agreed, they could have used the 2014 sample as a model for these. It's not like they haven't changed the shape of shoes in the same year (example Jordan 7s in 2015). Though we know what Michael Jordan's birthday gift will be for him on that date, money from the release of these.
