This is what I have ALWAYS believed, and I still do.

This is probably the first time I don't agree 100% with indohan (much respect) but...

The speckle/splatter pattern on the 4s is just that, speckles. The COLOR on both the 3s and 4s is cement grey.
I honestly don't think there is a "cement print"

is this yellow cement print?
or speckled yellow?

veGAtts: It's all good, man. Don't worry about it.

Well, on my post that many people quoted, I only showed pairs that really have the resemblance of cement + elephant.

The color description of those IIIs were actually "cement".

Black/Cement-Grey

White/Cement-Grey

However, for this pair, it doesn't contain any cement on it:

White/Fire-Red.

But White/Fire-Red still has the elephant print.

---

On IVs, only some have the cement print. Well, it's obvious why it's called "cement print".

White/Varsity-Red/Black

White/Military-Blue

The two pairs above do not have the "cement" color; they don't have cement "print".
In fact, the only pair that color description has "cement" word on it does not have the cement"print".

Black/Cement Grey

So, this "cement print" is tagged on the Black/White IVs is because the resemblance of cement concrete.
It's all now depends on how people receive this concept.

I'm sorry, I used such a large font. I posted quite a number of pictures.
Lesson learned, don't post huge pictures on NT.

Actually brotha you're wrong. As indohan showed the cement print is kinda like speckled and the elephant print, well i can't really explain that but just look up at indohans post haha.

 

[denverairforce]

sorry guys, but again, "cement print" doesn't make any sense. cement does not have speckles on it in the real world, why would speckled gray be a"cement print"? it's cement gray with speckles, period. not that hard to grasp folks. and no disrespect to the people trying to drop info,i'm just trying to clarify here with a little common sense.

what happened to that dude who snapped on indohan??? he let his voice heard i guess...dude snapped...but then again some of folks here on niketalk like to actfunny tho...either you help or don't help....dude probly got banned but he spoke the truth...except for the language...oh well....

Indohan, my man -- I really have to step in and correct you here!

You mention "Cement Print" - There is no such thing!! Cement issimply the "color" that is on White/Cement Grey III's & Black/Cement Grey III's.

How is this so hard to understand?

You started on the right mentality to inform OP, but then you fell short.

'Elephant Print' in NO TERMS is GREY!! It's Simply a Print, the color behind its texture on the suede just happens to be Grey on 2 pairsWhite/Cement Grey III's & Black/Cement Grey III's; Hence the color description on the Box says 'Cement Grey'.
You might argue why this term is not mentioned on either the True Blue's or the Fire Red's!! -- ORIGINALLY in 1989 the color behind the Elephant Printon these 2 pairs was not Grey at all (although it is on the Retros), it was more of a 'smoke' color. So lets get that whole relation of the Cement Greyand Elephant Print out of the way there!!!




The White/Black IV's just happen to a 'speckled' midsole - that does conclude them to have a 'cement print'. That terminology is just afalsely created one. Even the color description only labels this pair as "White/Black" only because the 'speckled midsole' is not beingreferred to a color, its simply a design/pattern/texture/print, whatever one may label it as.

And as for the Black/Cement Grey pair, I would assume it is easy to understand that the 'Cement Grey' is being simply referred to the Grey midsole andother highlights that are 'Grey' in color.

As for the Elephant Print, IT IS just as simple as it sounds:


ELEPHANT PRINT


ELEPHANT PRINT


ELEPHANT PRINT


ELEPHANT PRINT


ELEPHANT PRINT


What does that sound like to you?




Look at this image :

The above image is footprint of an elephant, look closely that you will see that its print is what we actually see on theprint on the Jordan III's. That is where Tinker's idea was derived from, and in the Original Jordan III description in 1989 the leather on the JordanIII which we refer to as 'tumbled leather' was actually described as 'elephant skinned wrinkled leather'.


Kapeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!

My man Puneet, shutting this thread down. /thread. Thanks for the info.

 

[losalmighty]

speckled cement is actually a color option for grout. Just sayin'

 

[jcool813]

elephant print is on the toe of the III.



cement is the gray color on the IIIs and IVs

[indohan]

Solesupreme my mannnnnnn. Where have you been?
I said it was called "cement print" is because the resemblance of it. Well, it was exclusively for White/Black IVs.
For the rest of the IVs, NO.

Anyway, I guess you put it better than I did.
Always a pleasure, my man.. Always...

Yeah, you shut down the thread.

just admit that you were wrong and keep it moving.


cement refers to a particular shade of gray, elephant is an embossed print/pattern.


and nike in the past and present uses elephant print in more than one color.
