We got a first look today at the Black/Cement Grey Air Jordan 3 thanks to @zsneakerheadz (IG).

Introduced back in 1988, the “Black/Cement” edition is a beloved colorway and synonymous with greatness, as it was worn only once in a game by Michael Jordan during the 1988 NBA All-Star game when he won his first of 3 All-Star game MVPs. Thankfully, this 2024 retro version remains true to its original design by featuring the nostalgic Black, Fire Red, Cement Grey, and Sail color scheme along with its black tumbled leather, signature elephant print overlays, and Fire Red details. The “Nike Air” branding on the heel and enhanced cushioning with visible Air units complete this updated classic.

Release Information: Save the date—November 23, 2024 is when they’ll drop at select Jordan Brand stores and online at Nike.com. The sneakers will be available in multiple sizes, with men’s pairs priced at $220, grade school at $150, preschool at $90, and toddler at $75.

Let us know how much you love (or hate) them here: AIR JORDAN 3 BLACK CEMENT – NOVEMBER 23, 2024

Damn, that's one of the best pairs I've seen! :nthat:

Edit: those White/Cements are the 2011's? Or recent Reimagined? EP looking wild on those.

Left is reimagined and right is free throw line. It's bc they are size 7.5 . All size 7.5 have thick ep

Where you see it? Is it in a different pic?

I think that’s a Vietnam pair. Notice the crease difference in both shoes. Left shoe looks like it came out the box with one. Something that’s not common on China pairs.

By the way I have honestly worn the one Vietnam pair pretty much any day the snow has allowed, they are so comfortable. Likely already considered beaters to be honest but I don’t care, gonna wear them to homeless levels.

I thought something big was going down in here as the thread jumped 5 pages since I last checked in only to see dudes typing scathing critiques of McDonald's and fast food in general.

If the shoe tree can improve the shape of the shoe, imagine what putting your foot into them will do. I know this idea seems very foreign to some of you, but try it out sometime. It’s pretty crazy

Snkrs pair just came in leather is soft and the elephant print is even on each shoe. Overall I'm cool with these man the 2018's about to get to steppin... 😀

AWOKEN CHARISMA formerly monopolize

Ftl connect came thru with my semi-early pair..
Material is decent on these , uppers are definitely softer / better (imo) than the 2018s.
^ ( not 2016 wc 4 leather, but still decent)
The overall shape is much better.
( no more of that banana toe bs they kept pushing)
Ep height, as well as print lines are more subtle, looks better , not quite OG, but definitely close enough.
Collar and tongue are slimmed padding wise, although not lacking so much padding that you cant go t.t.s..

Overall *for me* this is the best BC 3 retro Ive seen in 20+ yrs ...

I always order my McDonald’s in store. I ask them to bring out three burgers so I can choose the one I like the most. Sometimes I’ll even mix and match top and bottom buns.
