Jordan 3's Elephant Print Size? Production Dates?

[bmac215]

Recently just copped a pair of Black Cements 3's 2018 and compared them with my true blues 3's 2016 and noticed the elephant was significantly smaller than the true blues on the back of the shoe. I was comparing them with other Black Cements I seen online and also noticed that my production date /09/06/17-12/06/17 also the factory code was LN4 which I also heard was an issue. Can anyone compare their True Blues and Black Cements and tell me if the elephant prints are the same size. The suggested retail price sticker looks suspect as well, any advice?

Each release will vary a bit. Both look fine to me judging from that image.

Anyone think the stitching on the jumpman should've been done better? Also any advice on the production dates and factory code? What about the difference in the spacing between the nike swoosh on both shoes? I appreciate all the help I can get.

The elephant print on the back of both shoes doesn't have the same height either. Certain flaws are throwing me off. Anyone else have this problem?

Let's back up a bit. Where were the shoes purchased? This may help us.
I think what we're seeing here is normal mass production inconsistencies. They make millions of pairs of these releases now.

I purchased these off GOAT, never had any issues with any of my purchases through them in the past but I noticed a lot of inconsistencies on these black cements and I copped these for a good price so I was skeptical. Everything looks and feels right even the material, the shape, but certain inconsistencies like the jump man stitching. How do they pass quality control?

We have to keep in mind Nike/Jordan are producing major numbers per release. With a General Release there will be minor issues such as in your pair. (small and barely noticable) The QC is always a bit more lax on GR releases.

Makes sense, I appreciate the advice though.

your black cements are legit

wouldn't compare them to the true blues, 2-3 years apart, the EP on the true blues sucked in color and height.
