Nike Air Jordan Retro 3 OG “Fire Red” 2022

[0takusamsay]

Fairly easy? For an OG color way release? Wishful thinking friend.

I mean, I'm guaranteed a pair but the hype for III's really ain't there like that. Carmines are an OG colorway and they were pretty easy to cop. Those came out just last year. Its not about the colorway its about the model 1's, 4's, and 11's are the current hype trend so its hard as hell to get them even if the colorway is kinda mid. I'm confident they'll be easier to get than their more hype contemporaries.

We will wait for drop day and see how well this ages

Im not really tripping over the importance of slim EP. I know everybody want OG 1:1 looking retros, but the Orginals varied in cut too.

I'm almost certain the BCIII are the 94s.

I mean, ok. I know I'm gettin a pair so I'm cooling. Its not a contest to see who's right or wrong.

But...I will say if they get that IG influencer/Celeb/TikTok Influencer cosign(meme potential) hype for III's is gonna go right on up.

I'm almost certain those are the 94s

I was thinking the same thing. But looking at these 2, one is listed as 88 and one is 94. They are both different.

All this tells me is that JB needs to re-release the 4 OG III colorways in this new mold

The 1994 retro of the 3s had that whack slant cut toe EP, really messes the shoe up for me..

 

[BennyIll22]

Hey btw how are your customs holding up after some wear? I really wanted to create me some custom BC’s when the red ones dropped for the exact reasons that I loathe the early remaster 3 atrocities. I’m curious how the painting of the upper holds up with wear/time

So far they've held up great. I'll probably need to touch them up again before too long but it was a pretty easy one.

Both are 94s

I knew it lol that ep is hella thick. I know 88s had inconsistencies but that EP is pretty low on all pics of OGs I've seen.

I'm entering all raffles etc hopefully ea bless me

No one was talking about the cut of the EP.

I was babbling/complaining about the color of the EP lol

And even the regular elephant print was a darker cement grey on the OG. The elephant has completely changed compared to what it was pre-2007.

Same! I need at least 2 12.5's or 13's. I wanna run a pair into the ground and make them my daily drivers.

I just need the set

 

[freshkicks95]

Can’t wait. One thing I hope they don’t use is glossy paint on the midsoles. Looks super tacky and cheap. I noticed that it has been used on the recent Jordan 3’s like the Pine Greens and Cardinals.

Where this pic come from

 

[truenike81]

I would have a close set just my wc are the free throw and not a true og

I’ll take this picture after the Fire Reds release…even with all the knee high EP

The Fire Red looks pretty dark to me though.

I feel like the OG mold/shape of 3s is terrible compared to the newer retros.

It's one where I say they honestly improved the shape on them.

Seriously, who are you

 

[KanyIZZY]

Starting to think rbk93 is really Pippen b.. son be wilding

 

[jshortt]

Seriously, who are you

He might be from that recent school of thought where people scream for OG shape, but aren't quite sure what OG shape is? It's the same crew that thinks the true OG shape is "bulky" when they see it and want the toes on their 6's and 7's to be flat.

FR EP print has always been darker than the rest but not straight up black .. when I saw the first retro in '07 I was confused and a little irritated but when they straight up did the SAME thing every retro after that.. I didn't even want them.
