Air Jordan III - WHITE/CEMENT GREY/BLACK/FIRE RED - 136064-105 - SPRING 2011

[thisismyvibe]

Ordered mine form finishline, but still haven't gotten a confirmation email or anything. I check the order inquiry page and it still shows "processing."

Thoughts?

 

[bballassassin]

Thanks, yea mine still says "processing". Thats why I was like let me just hit the mall up and see if I get lucky which I did, but got a 10

 and I need a 9.5

 

[thisismyvibe]

Dang man... I'm going to be a little upset if these don't go through.

Anybody else get the confirmation phone call?

No 

Nike does not ship on weekends, matter fact the place they are all coming from is not even open past Friday, 5 PM. so I call your BS and raise you some common sense.

For each and every release, it's the same story for online orders (cancellations and delays). That's why if I had the option to cop in-store , I usually do that first and the on-line order being the fall back not the only option.

To answer your Q, from my experience, FNL usually doesn't start fulfilling orders 'til Monday for weekend releases. You should be okay. Give them a call Monday afternoon and they should already have an answer for you by then.

I have a similar problem accept it's on the black part.

Also...

No more what size you wear & throwing them to the cashier, I'll be going through all purchases w/ a fine tooth comb. Not complaining, it's my fault for not taking the time out to INSPECT them

Yeah, the pinnacle in trussville

^ I noticed that on a number of pairs in different stores in London. Had to swap and change my pair until I was happy.

Originally copped a half size smaller after trying my usual 9 on yesterday since it felt big. However, after I got home and tried those 8.5's on again a few times I decided to give the 9's another look. Went back to the mall today and tried on a 9 and it didn't feel so big after all. Perhaps its possible for a slight variation of size within a size because the 9 I tried on today didn't feel big at all.

Just a caveat to all those who went a half size smaller - you may want to reconsider your usual size before you realize you have a slightly tight shoe and it's more difficult to find your usual size. A quick try on of one shoe in the store without walking in both shoes can be quite different than putting on both shoes and walking around in them.

Very nice, one the best video reviews I have seen. Imo the 2011 is much better. I do know the 2003 has supposed "Better Quality Materials" but the 2011 looks much better. The cement actually looks grey and not greenish and the black is much deeper. And it seems to match the OG 1988 pair alot closer.

 

[charmcitykid]

i think the pre-creasing is a result of the narrower toe-box. i bought 3 pairs and all 3 had pre-creased toe-boxes. that pretty much let me know this is an "issue" with probably all or most of them. not a big deal to me b/c the crease "goes away" when my foot is inside the shoe. dare i say these are the best retros since like '01??

 

[kopnkicks]

^^ I hear you! I definitely hope the rest of the 2011 releases are this convenient.
I hate dealing with the hypebeasts and RESELLERS!! The stupidity spewed by the hype
driven youth of today is nauseating at best. Not to mention nothing upsets me more
than the resellers that try to sell their over priced kicks to the people at the end of the line.

 

[memphissfinest]

The people saying these would be limited and a hard cop as well as won't sit have vanished from this thread lol. They sitting up here lol.

sold pretty good around my area. Only big sizes left im still hunting for my pair

 

[charmcitykid]

i have to agree that this '11 release has turned out better than the '03s for several reasons.

-better/softer tumbled leather
-narrowed tongue
-narrowed toe-box
-no tumbled leather on the perforated part of the tongue
-og box and card

edit...

can't forget the keychain

 

[leocabrera]

My 03's also have more padding in the ankle area than the 2011.

 

[ajkatt]

As of 2:30;

Launch Update: The following sizes are still available for the Air Jordan "Cement" III Retro: 11,12.5,13,14,15. Quantity is limited. No holds or phone orders until Monday at 10am. For Nike Roosevelt Field New York

This is the only thing on the 11' release that I like as appose to my 03's.

Can't wear the box or card

I agree. I went by what everyone said on here and asked for a half size smaller(11) but they didn't have it so I got my true size(11.5) and they fit perfect.
