Jordan III REIMAGINED “White Cement” -March 11th 2023

[1978S]

Out of all the Jordan Brand clients, I noticed it seems like Doncic likes to take advantage of his hookup the most because he constantly wears retros and matching Jordan apparel walking in to games, whereas the others just wear retros sometimes and street clothes that aren't Jordan Brand when they go in to games.

Probably just means Luca has the least drip.

Wore mine today and whoever said they fit big wasn't lying.

Thicker socks are your friend.

 

[yort]

There’s definitely a bit more space in these. Normally a 13 but wouldn’t mind seeing how a 12.5 fits if I can hit a second pair

So I always have my pairs sent to Walgreens for Fed Ex and the UPS Store for UPS because I am tired of the Final Boss taking my shoes (Happened 3 times over the last 2 years). So my EA pair was supposed to be here yesterday but then changed to today. So it got delivered to Walgreens around 5:30pm, I was packing for a trip so by the time I got to the store it was 6:35. I go to open the door and its locked with a sign on the door that says sorry we closed today at 6:30. And I leave for a work trip tomorrow morning which would be fine if they opened at 6am like all other Walgreens around my area, but nooooo they open at 8am. So now will have to wait until Wed to pick them up

Did Nike give you a refund or did you have to do a chargeback? Same thing happened with Adidas, they said not our problem. Fedex said we can't help you. Didn't want to mess up my "luck" with Yeezys. Of course, Ye went bat **** crazy, so I should have done a chargeback.

So how the heck are are resell platforms going to authenticate this release? Usually EP panel cuts and overall print design are clear indicators. But many of these recent pics look lie 2018 and prior cuts, and not even like recent 3s. Even the most recent FRs were pretty consistent with the cuts. Not even sure I'd know how to differentiate without some obvious other signs. Looking only at EP height, shape, color, design, and color won't do it. Yikes.

Didn't someone say that they could resale their "extra" pairs and it would be "hassle free"? I wouldn't be surprised if StockX rejects pairs because they have such a huge inventory of these. When Nike makes 500K pairs, expect QC to go down the toilet.

After much deliberation I’m trying for .5 down on my 2nd pair

I did this on my FR3s and I was not disappointed, they removed some of the padding and going down half a size works for me.

 

[1978S]

Wrong thread?

 

[witnesskb24]

Man it’s 2023 and cats are still pulling out older releases to diminish a new one? Cmon man

I’ve seen a real and fake pair live in person this weekend. Differences are Box+label, Footbed stitching, size tag, colors of the painted midsole, heel tab, plastic lace holders. Even the grey on the outsole on fakes was darker. Typical stuff. Quality on the fakes was up there when it comes to materials but still legit checkable.

If I can I’ll post pics later this week with a real pair next to a fake one.

Haven’t bought a release In about 3 yrs and am trying to get these since they’re my all time favs. I put in entries on champs and FTL but it’s not showing under my releases. Is that normal? Anyone with any insight?

 

[papit]

Found this pair half size down but the seller want 360 smh

 

[headdetective]

Anything over 350 gotta be a thin light skin elephant

Yeah it ain’t light enough lol. The back cement look lighter than the front. I’ve saw the lightest EP in sizes 10 and 12’s the most.

 

[witnesskb24]

Nike gonna need to hire some of these factory workers from the fake factories if their EP is more consistent

 

[millzszn93]

the variation of elephant prints are wild. We gonna get price variation depending on elephant prints grading like card grading.

Blasphemy lol

 

[1c3m4m]

Im
Not even a detailed dude when it comes to jays but this release is just all over the dam place

i wonder if JB did this on purpose, like someone said a couple posts back this is going to be compared to card grading services on the aftermarket when it comes to the EP pattern

Nah nike need to hire one of yall to go regulate quality control and make sure all 3s have og thin ep and line

 

[wombat]

Are these everyone’s first pair of 3’s or something?

Inconsistent/mismatched elephant print isn’t anything out of the ordinary.

Man I didn’t even think to look at the medial sides of mine then played myself when I posted pics of creasing after wearing em

I’d be fired or promoted in a day

The 1st rodeo for some. Let me check my other 3s lol

 

[amarano]

yea the fire red 3s were the same story if not worse

i went through an entire size run at champs before finding a good enough pair

and i’m not even that picky with that stuff

i dunno if they had a bad batch but it was a hassle just to find a left and a right pair that matched let alone had good prints

 

[truenike81]

Just let me get a W at retail at this point I don't even care no more they going straight to feet anyway

 

[djlunchbox]

FTL, Champs and Hibbett entered.

Gonna pray for SNKRS W and hoping me getting the L&F from them for free won’t blacklist me lol

I told y’all months back about the EP inconsistencies. Go back and look at these early pair YT videos and then see pics of shock drop and EA pairs and then you’ll see how wild it’ll be soon.

Retail or bust for me. I’ll cop every pair i win And use as trade bait.
