Air Jordan III OG Black Cement returns Feb 2018 - Nike Air on the back

[hydeous]

SNKRS pair is perfect. My little NA collection.

Once I get a 6 bred with NA, with the proper tall tongue like the OG, I’m quitting the shoe game. That’s my all time favorite jordan shoes.

Still waiting on both of my pairs... it’s ironic that Portland usually takes 1-2 days longer than most places to ship to.

Ain't that the truth. Almost feels like everyone gets them before we do our here in the northwest.

 

[hydeous]

Which pair y'all think is better if you could only keep one?

Any idea why Nike decide to make the elephant print taller than the OG?

I need a BC IV, a Fire Red IV, a Black Tongue V and a Black/Infrared VI with NA then I could potentially be done. That would cover the OG pairs I had as a kid. We’ll get em eventually.

My SNKRS pair. To make a big deal or to not make a big deal about that R, that is the question.

Men's 12.5 but what's up with the PS 12.5 Nike Air and Tab

So you are like 39-40 this year, bro?

Oh man don’t get us started. Lol

I don’t go through this thread that much, but that’s what I noticed when I compared them with the pair MJ and easy E wore back then. They have a slimmer and flatter toe box and less padding on the the neck of the shoes. Guess it’ll look less like a basketball shoes compared to the stuff they make now, but that’s the real OG shape to me. I kept on seeing people praising how perfect these are so I’m not sure if I’m just too anal with accuracy.

That would bother me, I took back my footlocker pair because it had a cracked heel tab

Don't worry man, you're 10000% right. You nailed it. This had been discussed in extreme length and detail hundreds of pages back.

I think people are saying their pairs are perfect for different reasons....no noticeable defects/blemishes, and simply the fact that they finally have a variation of the Jordan III Black/Cement in their possession.

Didn’t notice that, but the bigger problem is how slanted those elephant print shape is.

That R doing the stanky leg.

Can't notice though unless you analyze it. You're good.

Well in a way I guess those shoes would feel a bit less comfortable than the stuff we got now I could imagine. And they’d look weird when you wear them with generic basketball / street clothes that people are into now. But I really dig that OG shape and feel to it. I think most people aren’t aware of such details, they are just happy that Nike gave the NA back lol.

37. Started playing basketball and folks were gracious enough to let me get the BCIV’s. Was a wrap after that lol. Joined the Flight Club and all that jazz. Somehow I convinced them I needed a new pair each year for my bday!

 

[hydeous]

Jordan 1-6 and if you really wanna stretch it to 7 are the only pair that will look good once it’s broken in. I love the 11s but those looks like crap once the creases starts showing.

 

[fresh out dabox]

that sucks but to be honest if you can swap it out with another store without telling them about that R discrepancy. I didn't notice till u pointed it out esepcialy at that angle

How’d you get true OG 3s then? Back when I was growing up, the only OG pair I saw on foot was jordan V fire red that an older guy in my neighborhood wore.

SNKRS pair arrived and joined the rest of it's Nike Air Family

88s looking fugazi next to the rest lol
