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

Really hope all these dudes are out like they say they are. I would be crazy to pass these up knowing that my 2011s have horrible quality compaired to what we're getting. I barely wear those and bc3s all out of fear of chipping. To all the dudes looking for the 2011s go ahead and waste your time. By the 3rd wear they will chip then there's no turning back. I still keep a pair of the last release fire red 3s just because they don't chip. I like to wear my pairs not just stare at them. If the price was 150 like the 2011s there would be way less complaints.

Aside from my midsole slightly chipping, quality is still decent imo.  Maybe you had a super bad pair?  
 
Wasn't the EP a big issue on the 2011 pairs?

Some had thick some had thin
Etc etc
 
the leathers have a clear coat that makes them look & feel like plastic

the 2011 black-cements even look greasy :smh:

I've come across too many pairs, I used to restore shoes. The quality sucked on every 3 that year. White cements were the best out of all of em

I'd have to agree. White cements are the only pair out of the three that released on 11 not to chip yet. Blk/cement cracked after the third wear. I have yet to buy another 3 because of this. Do we know if the midsoles or paint are different with the 16 pair?

Get yourself a pair of the last release fire red 3s, those were decent and don't chip. I would think they would give pairs the non chip treatment now. We see the major difference in aquas from 07 and now

I like my white/cements, have no issues with the quality. :\

Pull out a pair or remastered jordans and sit them next to your wc3s. I guarantee you won't really feel the same.

I took my double nickels and put them next to my chicagos from I think 2012 and they sucked
 
I get what your saying and I agree the remasterd are better but I still think the 2011 WC's are a solid retro. Hopefully we get a remasterd pair with NA soon.

Every dude with 88s are going to hate on them HARD. I just hope we see black cements before white. But any OG colorway with the remastered NA treatment are copped in my book.
 
Damn, so far it seems like the majority of y'all are goin' to pass on this release. This release might end up sittin,' in some places. Kinda like, the All-Star/Aqua 8's & Black Metallic 5's did. I'm still 50/50 myself, honestly.​
 ​
With the Space Jam 11's comin' out two weeks later, I might have to pass these up. I need 2-3 pairs of those, if anything. I most definitely need those, if I don't get another Jordan this year. I MUST have 2 pair of those. AT ALL COSTS.​

Repped off the strength of postin' those pics, with no cares given @Sneekaz. I would've been crucified for the next two pages, if I did.

Anyways, I can deal with most of the changes. The shape & height of the shoe though, atrocious.

Especially, in that first set of pics. They're damn near low-tops. I hope retail pair isn't that butchered. If so, I'll pass with no regrets.

lol dont worry about posting pre release "questionable" pairs pics. it aint illegal, it just gives us a little perspective.

its just that most of nt gets hyped over such pics cause they have lotta passion for details and want it right.

I clearly remember how close those UA Chicago 1 in 10.5 were looking compared to the authentic retail Chicago 1 11.5 that i decided to create a legit guide to highlight the differences between the two. good to know the difference between real and unreal

It's illegal, when your name is @MarzThaRealist, @Sneekaz. Believe that.

I feel you though, & I have no problems with it either. I actually condone it 100%. It gives the board somethin' to talk about. Some NT members though, have a massive stroke & heart attack when I do it.

I feel that, they give you an idea, of what the retail release will look like. Pretty much, what you said. Repped again G.
