Lol They literally look the same in person if not better. These are fire. I’m not sure what’s not to like about these other than the fact that they aren’t BC3s. Leather and shape is the best I’ve seen used on a AJ3 retro. Y’all will regret this lol.

The brown instead of the standard elephant print ,no NA to most. it makes the shoe look like a poop is the elephant print, but I got mines and love em something different for once.

It’s most likely the brown they don’t like. But people slept on OG Mocha’s when they first released and we know how that turned out. Considering shape and quality, this is one of the best retros ever put out by JB.

The elephant print on these is more natural looking. It looks great.

If you use RIT color remover or acetone on the brown elephant print, it would be nearly a perfect retro of the Black Cement 3.

That’s just a photoshop i did, but it wouldn’t take long. RIT color removed is designed to take the color out of anything that’s dyed and it should work on the elephant print on these.

just need a grey sole. White midsole. Nike air back tab. Change the orange to red. Red liner behind tongue. Change the tan suede to grey leather. Change tan liner to grey.

This shoe is like an alternate Black Cement 3, but with brown/tan and the pop of orange. Upscale for the high brow crowd. 
The shoe
The orange ruins them. I get why they went with that but still...This shoe is like an alternate Black Cement 3, but with brown/tan and the pop of orange. Upscale for the high brow crowd.

Orange doesn’t ruin them but they could of been so much better with some sort of beige or brown or even red.

Just stick Nike Air and Cactus Jack on the back and cats would’ve been creaming their pants 24/7.
