Jordan III REIMAGINED “White Cement” -March 11th 2023

[truenike81]

Going back to end of the world stuff - if you had to bounce from the house, which shoes you wearing?

Mind you it has to be comfortable for long journeys yet durable enough to survive the trek....

Jordan 11 or lebron 8

Jordan 11 or lebron 8

Patent leather gonna crease something fierce in the apocalypse.

I’ll take the top (retail) pair anyday. Dont care how it compared to the og shape, top looks tons better. Yall want anything OG to the tee even if it doesnt look as good. Short *** tongue, im already short in alot of other places now yall want the tongue short too.

TMI in that last sentence

You're wrong. Game worn Jordan 3s from the slam dunk contest:

General production shoes were different from what MJ wore. Seems like you care about what you saw in a magazine rather than what MJ actually played in.

these look like the mockup i did

Says the guy who joined NT 14 years after me. lol. Look, I’m not ashamed to say that I didn’t buy my first pair of Jordans (Concord 11s) until 2000, after I graduated and started working. 5 kids in my family, so my parents couldn’t afford to buy us Jordans growing up. Absolutely nuts to insinuate that I’m some sort of bandwagon fan who only started collecting Jordans after the Last Dance came out. Nice try though.

Again, I’m rarely the type to ***** about the elephant print, height of the shoe, etc, because I wear all my joints, not stare at them in the box like some virgin.

lol nah brother i wasn't tryin to make you look like a bandwagon scrub.
was simply trying to make a point.. thats all.

Man’s picked the worst pic to compare to 88s

Give me a break

If I know nothing about these at all, and look at this pic, Im saying the 2023 version is the closest to the 1988 by far. The mock up is nice as hell. But its far fetched to think they are going to get it right completely. This is one release that seriously filled the OG void that I have always had with this shoe. Never had the original, but have several versions starting with the 1994 that I purchased during its clearance days. I feel like the ankle cut is so much better on the 2023 than its ever been since its original. It started sloping in 1994 and just got worse with the other releases.

 

[JRepp23]

My 2023 next to the 1994. The slope is near mirror image. But the height in the back is there. Maybe the 2023 is a slight hair lower than the 1994, but its damn close.

Thinking about dumping my pair. I still have my free throw lines.

Somebody talk me off the ledge lol

If anything move the free throw lines if you set on selling one of them

Not sure if this is a joke? The FTL are complete garbage, esp compared to what we got with the '23s.

 

[1978S]

the 88 version also had terrible quality control and cuts of leather for the ankle and tongue are cut to different sizes. They aren’t consistent. It was still a cheap, mass produced shoe. It’s not wildly different today. Nike has been in the business of producing cheap crap since their inception.

His point was the shape, not quality.

 

[trappedintime]

My point was the shape was all over the place because of the quality. Quality control was worse back then if that’s even imaginable. People would lose their mind if the ankle collar was a 1/4” higher than their other pair.

Pics don’t lie though, this shape is better than almost any other retro. I’m pretty happy with it.

 

[1978S]

You're reaching if that was really your point.

Even with the inconsistencies back in 1988, the overall shape was the same and VERY distinguishable from everything we've gotten after 1988.

And it’s been argued on this site for 20 years too. Who cares at this point? You get what you get, take it or leave it. Nike doesn’t care about dudes’ mock-ups. Funniest part is it’s guys who have bought every bad retro that complain about it like ignorance is the problem over at JB. If we just diagram the corrections here enough times they’ll fix it. Nike doesn’t even want a 1:1 Jordan.

I stopped reading after this.

And for the record....this is NT. LOTS of people care at this point.

 

[trappedintime]

Caring about something you can’t in any way change, from a company that doesn’t care about you or how much you’ve spent with them… my definition of crazy. I pass on trash. That’s all you can do.

I offed my FTL as soon as I knew these were coming out the icy sole and fat ep (pause )

 

[allergic2broke]

Mostly I dont really loved the aged look. The FTL have the normal color.

Probably still gonna keep both.

 

[spizike231]

Need to UNDS mine soon

 

[checks mcgee]

tf you waiting on lol

 

[spizike231]

I still ain’t UNDS my Breds from 2019 idk why either

They look better aged.

Also same cats saying they hate the aged look is the same dudes salivating over old 88 pics, and all them look even more aged.

 

[doublemesh96]

I always die laughing when friends are keeping Jordan’s ds for an “event”

Like Mf what event you going to lol

Wearing them to a concert or a club is a huge L

Not garbage, just not better. Some people just not hip on this whole aged thing.
