Official Air Jordan 3 "White Cement" '88 Retro - Retail $200

[raxofkix]

Both pairs arrived from FINL today, not too impressive for the $50 price bump.  

Both pair had matching cement print, the right shoe of one pair has horrible creasing and an imprinted groove near the stitching on the lateral side of the toe box.

Smelled like straight glue.

In regards to the non-matching elephant print, IIRC, ninjahood said that that's how they are supposed to be. The OGs were like that, the 94s and the 2003s. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though

Thanks for the information. I hope your right. My black cements matched pretty well as far as thickness. I know the elephant print is never  going to be perfect nor do i expect it. But my 88s are just totally different thickness from one shoe to the next. Thanks again!

I've looked and looked but can someone confirm weather these are coming out again march 23 in stores?

it appears that what is confirmed is that the 3/23 release is for overseas. the US 3/23 in store release is just a rumor from what i understand, but it def. wouldn't surprise me if SOME stores had them. guess we'll have to wait n see.

Why did these retail so high? 

 

[airjaiden]

The glue smell is pretty potent. Any how, got em in today, tried them. Never had the '10 pair but comparing these to the recent TB and BC III's, these feel a lot more comfortable and more cushioning. Happy with em. Waiting on my EastBay pair later this week.

I know man, typically there are dudes who snatch up the smaller sizes when they cant get their own size and try to trade, but I don't see NONE of that going on.

Cause they slapped a NA on the back and made it limited.

I have no complaints for the quality of the shoe, but how you gon' send me that box smh at Nike. 

 

[Bert.]

my box was a little dinged up too, no biggie tho

Dinged up? Ok, **** happens.

But they stuffed mine in the shipping box and the shoebox was half assembled and missing the glue on the flap to hold it down. No damage to the shipping box +1 to UPS. 

 

[smiffers77]

no complaints here really, print pretty much matches up on both pairs. Leather is damn soft compared to the 11's. Left pair came with big crease on the toe like they were worn but other than that im satisfied i guess, wish they were $160, not $200 but oh well. whats done is done.

My production dates are 9/12/12-12/21/12. Anybody else's pair smell like straight glue?

yup. production less then a couple of months = strong glue smell.

leave both shoes out on top of box for a day or 2, it will go away

then will the Nike Air fall off?

What are you talking about....

 

[squatchnt]

My pair came in today. Not feeling the non tumbled leather on the toe box of my pair. But other than that, I'm pretty happy with them. Second pair will be here Wednesday.

Guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

 

[mzveya]

Just in today...the quality is cool..mine did already come with a crease on the right shoe...

What size are these? GS? I'm still wondering if GS comes with a hang tag or not.

i looked up some GS sizes on ebay, they seem to have the hang tag but no special box.

 

[rhinosport]

If I had to place a wager, GS pairs come with no extras. Just the black thumb print box and paper. I've bought GS pairs (wc3,tb3,bc3 2011s) and that's how they came.
