OG Nike Air Jordan III Retro True Blue BLACK FRIDAY '16

For certain models, the I for example, it's actually very fitting imo. All the other I's have a nice short name to describe them. Chicago's (which don't have chicago in the color), Shadows, Royals etc.

You're not alone. Bred is terrible. Although it's usually a quick way to identify who got into this in the past couple of years.

Nothing wrong with people new to the game as long as they respect the shoes and their history.

As soon as these are confirmed I'm beating my '11 tb3 in the ground. I love that cw.

Beat them now, it's guaranteed. By the time the 2016's drop, I want to see a piss yellow back tab, scuffs, and not a trace of blue on the midsole.

I might have to miss these. Now a days I only buy the Jordan's I love the most. Might buy as trade bait though since they'll prob be a super mega mass GR. the only 3s I love, which is different than like, are the white and black cements.

been into Jays for 10 years and have used the term Bred since..... I get your point but it's really a preference like saying snap instead of snapchat or IG instead of Instagram or even NT instead of Niketalk; any arguments about that preference are trivial.

Unless it's the BC4, it's no problem tbh.

How would you all day these are ranked as far as OG 3 hype? Black cements first, followed by the white cement pair, then these right? I never really liked any of the OG for red colorways on the 3s, 4s, and 5s
 
Ranks are subjected to the times. People's preferences might be different now than they were in 88. Black shoes are way more common today than back then.

If you asked someone from 1988 to rank them it would go WC/BC/FR/TB

If you asked someone today it would be BC/WC/then a toss up between FR or TB.

Also, today it doesn't seem to matter which ones Jordan wore the most because most people don't remember him being in them anyway.

Pretty much BC/WC then everything else though.

Fire red 3s, fire red 5s, and the fire red 4s have always been in last place to me. And yes, I'll take the militaries over the fire red 4s any day. The 6s broke the curse of the ugly white/red/black colorway with the flawless color placement on the carmines

everyone has their own tastes and ranks and no one should care what it is either.  these are for sure going to be a very well received CW. NO doubts about that.

Love the Fire Red 3s, but they're 4th with the Bc3s, Wc3s and Tb3s infront. I'll never buy Fire Red 4s cause I hate those lol, hate the Military blue 4s also. If I had to choose between those 4s it would be the Military Blues. Also the Black Tongue fire red 5s > 3M tongue fire red 5s.

Beautiful @Sneekaz, just beautiful...​
 ​
I know you probably shed a tear, when you sold em G...​
 ​
Nike/JB really dropped the ball not putting Nike Air on the heel tab. That Gentry dude is a super A hole for that.​
 ​
Anyways, was that hang tag one you just put on there, from another shoe...​
 ​
Or did they actually come with that one?​
 ​
If so, that ish makes them so much more beautiful IMO...​
 ​
I need to find me one like that, in that condition...​
 ​
Repped G!!!​

Black Cements, True Blues, Fire Reds, White Cements IMO. I don't know why, but the White Cement 3's never did anything for me. They just always looked super plain to me... I know I'm probably goin' to get tossed out this thread, Jazzy Jeff style for sayin' this.... But there's nothing that really makes the shoe pop IMO, outside of the elephant print.​

Easily tied with the 3M FR5 for the best Jordan of all time. It hits the BC4 with a sledgehammer, eggs the WC4's house, and throws the Military Blue off a 10 story building. They haven't retrord them with NA yet because they're afraid the Polar bears will be swimming when they drop.
