I maintain that these will be extremely hard to get for retail and the resell prices will be in the $350 range.

I agree, but let’s hope that don’t happen to me cause I’ve always wanted one like BC 3’s

The beige color really stands out more against a beige background imo.

Never cared for Black Cement 3s -- borderline can't stand the sight of them.
The mockup of the upcoming revision, however? Killer.

I think that the cement grey elephant print doesn't jibe with the black leather upper, making for a sneaker that is overdone and dull at the same time.
White Cements are the only ones out of the original lineup that do it for me. Although the Air Jordan III itself is in my top 3, I'm very selective in its design cues:
- The anterior segment of the PU on the lateral side has to be white, not matching. Some sophistication is lost when that variation isn't present, resulting in a sportier look. (Yeah, they're basketball shoes, but the more 'casual' this model, the better.)
- Elephant print on the eyestay is too busy.
- Re: collar, neutral colors only.
Preference is pretty much limited to the WC template, or something close to it (AMM).

Do you feel the same way about the Georgetown 3s?
…or it just the black leather you don’t like?

It looks like the name for these will be "Natural Cement" according to this. We'll see.

The beige color definitely doesn't look as good as the grey imo.
...but I'll take it.

If an aged BC3 is what they are going after I am fine with that. But NA branding better be on the back of those shoes. Or I am not at all interested.

If the JOrdan logo was the OG logo, instead of the Nike Air, would you still feel the same way?
Sometimes I think if that had been the original logo, people would constantly complaining about the JOrdan logo not being used.

Maybe so. But ultimately NA was on the original and that's what most prefer if the choice was theirs. From a design stand point, the NA just fills that space in the back better imo.
