4s are definitely the second most popular Jordan right now. You can see it on social media and in real life, guess it depends where you from.

Crazy how little fanfare there is for 3s over the last few years. AMM aside almost every pair has sat. Great for us fans but just odd how the hype can pass by such a seminal model in the Nike/JB catalogue

Cause it’s been nothing but random az colorways
Certain models, only the OG’s gonna move.
3’s one of them models

I remember growing up, a lot of people said 3s were their favorite J. This new generation doesn't hold them in the same regard.

Back around 2007 when they were flooding it with different colorways, (Do the Right thing, Black Cats, Pure Moneys) they were probably the second most popular behind the 11s.

Was thinking about 3s other day how they kinda fell off. Them upcoming FR3s will set it off a little. 4s have always had the craziest PE and exclusive colors.. wahlbergs all the way to eminems etc.
I agree... 3s are a better looking model than 4s to me. They tend to give 4s better colorways but when they do give the 3s fire colorways like the UNC or am, they always hit it out of the park. Also I'm speaking for myself when I say this but 3s seem to always look best with white uppers.

3s are probably still a top 5 model popularity wise right now.

Because a lot of us grew up with the free throw line dunk contest poster on our walls or people watched that dunk contest live or on VHS
So they don't equate sneakers to what he did in them.
I think that's why the prices jumped from the last dance.

Maybe. I'm only 29 so I'm younger than a lot of ya, but even in my age group a lot of heads love 3s. That was before we were born 
I don't see that same hype in kids in high school right now.

Only Jordans trumping 3s in popularity right now would be 11s, 1s, 4s, and 6s.
I don’t think every 3 CW is a instant sellout but they’re still pretty popular.
Tons of people covered the Cardinals here in Houston.

This. I'll be 29 in a few months. Never saw Jordan play until he unretired and joined Washington. Most dudes in my age group love 3s just as much as me. The youth is all about 1s, 4s, forces, and dunks. They wear other retros but those are the main 4 I see.Maybe.

Edit: surprisingly see a lot of 12s worn by the youth as well.

I'm 36, and while I like 3s and definitely recognize their significance, and since my dad was a huge MJ fan, I've been a fan and watched him play for as long as I can remember (totally rooted against and HATED him when he played and beat my Sonics in '96 though), I've personally never been the BIGGEST fan of 3s. They've always been on the plain side to me, with besides the elephant print, not having tons of panels/overlays, and textures. Honestly, 3s aren't even in my top 5.
For me personally, my top 5 ranking is:
1 > 4 > 6 > 11 > 8

Lack of good new Retro + CW's is the reason JB damn near gave up even trying with the 3's
1's and 4 's has a crazy amount of good to great CW options
3's , 6's and 11's are still really popular

Doesn't like 3s but has the tanks known as 8s in his top 5
aqua 8s are top tier
They are but we were speaking on silhouettes as a whole... Or at least I thought we were lol

I can't agree with that when JB can drop any of the most popular 11's Concords, SJ's, Cool Greys, Breds, Columbias with a million plus pairs available and they all sell out with people still not getting a pair.
It's a lot of people who only go for 1 Jordan a year and its the Holiday 11.
Yeah the 11s drops are like the super bowl of sneaker releases.

Ehhh, one colorway a year is the reason for that.
If they release 11's throughout the year like other models, it wouldn't be as in your face as December is with 11's.
Plus, those colorways you mentioned are certified classics. They gon sell out regardless every time.
