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

Need your thoughts guys.

Pair from StockX came in. I’m comparing it from a shock drop pair. The StockX pair has thicker padding around the ankle and the ankle opening itself seems smaller. Check the pics. Thoughts? Both are LMN.

Shock drop

every factory has its good and it’s bad. I’ve seen some terrible ones from every factory. VW1 has been mostly over the seas released pairs.
 
DSG sent 10.5 instead of 11. I have wide feet so gonna see if I can fit these.

Quality is satisfactory on these WC3. Toebox is significantly less boxy than my 2018 BC3, also has even panel heights. Elephant print thickness is consistent. Leather tumble is similar between left and right shoe. White sockliner not too fuzzy.

Unfortunately no illusive, thin elephant print and sleek toe box the LMN pairs supposedly have, but I can’t complain with this LN4 pair.

Shock pair.

Both pairs look solid though.
 
Just got an LN3 from snkrs and the qc sucks. Still got one more pair from ftl to check, but hoping it’s lnm. Those seem to have the best ep and qc. My LN4 ain’t bad but you guys were right, feel like I could go 8.5 instead of my 9
 
Not sure what you mean. Maybe I should clarify. Does the ankle padding/size on the StockX pair seem off?
Neither pair looks off to me at all. Just by the looks alone, the shock drop pair looks slightly better. If these factories can show their inconsistencies this easy with EP and height, then ankle padding just goes along with. Both pairs are fine to me. But the lower EP on the toes are fire.
 
I got hit with one tumbled / one smooth toe and mostly less tumbled pair .. not the most desirable EP compared to other pairs I’ve seen I was hoping for thinner/lower cut lighter skinnt elephant but not exactly unhappy with the EP or the pair in general cuz I wear everything at the end of the day ✨

If anyone knows if any local stores in the SF area still has men's sizes, please let me know! This is my grail and I struck out on all the raffles and happen to be in town in SF for business. Hoping there might be a few odd pairs lying around.
 
So did everyone who hit get theirs yet from all the different sites now that we are almost a week after the drop?
 
Don’t have the energy for all the sweepstakes shenanigans anymore, so I bit the bullet on FC. Honestly, no complaints. Low-key prepared for some sheistyness.

happy to take those off your hands if they don't fit
 
..............Y'all think most people buying jordans care about his career accolades?

I been told y'all
Most people buying Jordans don't care about quality control or how close they are to the OG for that matter. Most people buy Jordans because they are trendy and that's it. The moment the crowd moves on they move on. Yet, here WE are 🤷🏿‍♂️.

And NONE OF US get HERE 👇 without people that DID and STILL DO care about his career accolades. So while some may not care about the career donyou think we get a Jordan 3-14 if this mans career wasn't what it was?

For some it's all about style, for others it's the legacy. All of it matters at the end of the day. We don't get the GREATEST SIGNATURE SNEAKER LINE IN HISTORY without all of this coming together at once.
