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

Seriously why does Nike have the time on their release calendar and then say they haven't determined a time yet???? If you haven't confirmed the time yet....take it off your calendar.

When he won slam dunk.

If Jordan ever upped ALL retros to $200 and think sane people will pay they are dead wrong. People will occasionally drop $200 or $350 for a pack, but regularly HELL NO. Not only would it be too high for a pair of shoes but when people are getting robbed and killed for shoes and they up price, that would be disgusting enough for me to stop. I'll start paying more attention to Pennys and other shoes no problem.

This is exactly what I was trying to say earlier. Everyone who said, "look at the release calendar it says 4:51" Ok cool, it says 4:51 but maybe Nike did decide to change their mind now you see that the time hasn't been confirmed yet. Maybe Nike just either forgot to or never changed the date on the calendar. 
 
I doubt they give us less than a 24 hour notice about when they will tweet the link. There is still plenty of time to gameplan. I mean I have class Wednesday from 8am-1:30 but I doubt they sneakattack the link no worries.

I feel you, Wednesday I have class 11am-12:15. So I was hoping for that 8am link or 4:51pm link, not that smack in the middle day link.

+1. I will not stand for that.
I dont even shop for Jordans this regularly, but they have been reretroing a lot of my favorites in a row. Even then I will pass at that price if it becomes a regular thing.
 
Two of the local finishline's said that these are an online only release. Can someone confirm this? Is everyone online only? Eastbay releasing at 8am? Along with footlocker? I hear Nike.com will be announcing a time they will be releasing them?

Really all we KNOW right now is that NDC is launching online at some point on 2/6.
FNL says "check back on 2/6 for release info."
Eastbay says "We don't have info on them at this time, Keep checking back."
And My local spots, which get most releases, tell me they aren't getting these in-store.
FWIW, that is where we are, for the most.

Thanks homie!
 
So far I got select house of hoops and nike online. Limited numbers around that 20,000ish mark. Don't be surprised if JB pay homage to the slam dunk contest theme and release them at the exact time he actually dunked/won. They doing real good throwing people off on the specifics.

I said that a few weeks ago, people throwing around that 100,000 pairs of GR are produce, I just can't believe that

I can still believe that. People can't have it both ways, claiming that this is some kind of "test" or "experiment" to see if a higher priced retro with Nike Air on it will sell... why would you limit it to 20k pairs if this is really a test? At those numbers, just the limited nature of the release would make it an easy sellout that doesn't prove anything that an equally limited $185 release would entail. And if you're making 20,000 pairs, why do a GS run at all when you could have just made more pairs of the men's sizes and sold them at the $200 price point instead of $125? It doesn't really add up if you want to go by what most people are claiming the motivation is here.

It is simple math jada. 20,000 or so pairs for just the U.S. is limited sir. I did not say super limited with one of those 200 pairs only made etc release. So it won't be as limited as a ray allen 13....but it is still considered a limited release. Enough to garnish resell prices well over $500 and close to $1000 in 2-3 yrs. I think hype wise JB is shooting for yeezy and galaxy type of a frenzy for a shoe that was basically released 2 yrs ago
