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

I can't help but smell another Banned fiasco. Why not just a regular release? **** you JB, seriously *** you! JB is tru hypebeast.

Glad i passed on the 2011s. I think the nike air being only on OGs is one thing maybe they shouldnt bring back. it makes the nike air kinda special. I dont own any but still. I guess it was only a matter of time tho

Nike Air has been on retros, they just decided to remove it years ago because they could.

On a side note, I had the 2000 Jordan 5 black metallic and when they released recently, I just couldn't mess with the Jordan Air on the back. It just looks stupid in my opinion.

So It looks like JB is going to get on a schedule of just pumping out as many retros as they can every year. If that means an opportunity to get a shoe every 4/5 years then i'm good with that.

couldn't agree more. When these retro'd last year, they absolutely sucked compared to the '03 version. Stiff greasy looking pleather and the paint cracking on the midsoles made them horrible to own. So we finally get back Nike air but have to make it difficult to buy them? :smh: Tell you what jb, if you give me the molding of the og/94 version, dyed midsoles, and vintage box I'll pay you $250. If the same molding as the current iii's with crappy paint job, no thanks. I'll just bust out the dremmel and make my own damn "Nike Air"!

word man; couldn't agree more.

I know many of you guys have the '03 white cement's, '01 black cements and '01 true blues like I do (and some of the newer retros as well). Are all of you really going to get these as well? I appreciate the history behind Nike Air just as much as you guys...but man...I think it's an unnecessary purchase.

like i wanna hear ur opinion
 
I don't think the Nike Air will have that much of an effect on the masses that probably already have a pair of White/Cement IIIs.
 
I'm good with my '03 retros...I've never felt a need to have more than 1 pair of a colorway, and I'd rather have the older, better quality retros.

There will never be an era of JB retros like there was from about '98 to '04.

I can't believe this **** . I'm supposed to be retiring in 13 after March and coming back for the Columbia 11's. But I'll be damn if Jb doesnt make me go psycho.

i've been saying, im retiring for years, but then Nike or Jordan Brand does stuff like this and sucks me back in, but the last 2 or 3 years I have cut back, more & more each year... slowly, but surely..
 
Why is everyone that owns the '03 version acting like Nike Air is in the back?
