OG Nike Air Jordan III Retro True Blue BLACK FRIDAY '16

[ducktales]

just saw a few pairs in person, I must say these are pretty solid!!! leather is aight, not as soft as the cyber 1s but its aight. also the craftsmanship is pretty good, checked out a couple of pairs at my local footlocker and champs and they were all pretty clean. 

I thought these were good too. If they were limited everyone would complain but still wear them.

My OGs weren't high quality, always had glue stains, paint in areas there wasn't supposed to be, etc.....maybe it's the fantasy of what people thought they saw or had that they compare everything to.

Nightwing is saying that these "are not officially remastered" apparently....................

 

[iam2tone]

so I took my pair back because the right shoe was crumbled leather, looked at the other 2 pair, but they didn't let me swap out a good right for my pair, they tried to tell me just take my original pair, told them to keep them I'll take my 2 bills

 

[WAKKO!]

Haha can't believe Jordan Brand suckered all of you into dropping $200 plus on these plastic leather 3s. What a shame, the cycle continues because of the sheep.

Jordan Brand once again having their employees flood NT with fake good reviews lol , "saw these today and they looked great"

You ok? You seem mad

I wasn't happy with my raffle pair because the elephant print on the right shoe was noticeably cut higher then the left. Was anticipating on returning them but called around day after release day and found a Shoe Palace near by that had a sz10.5 left so I was able to exchange. Much happier with this pair now!

Yea I get kinda mad when I see people are ok with buying ok quality at that price point. We will never get better leather if this cycle continues

 

[Zoro]

Glad I picked em up under retail

Its not your money tho

 

[stevedensmore]

Nike is paying a couple of dollars to create all these shoes. You fall into this category too

It costs nine $16-20 total to make these shoes after materials and labor factored. If Trump really throws a wrench in overseas prediction, we're going to see a jump in price that no one will be happy about. Quality better increase, not holding my breath, though.

 

[jerusareem]

Its not your money tho

Its still not nice seeing others getting robbed of their hard earned money, people are dropping $250 after taxes for these, they fooled you with the "remastered" talk

 

[Koncrete Kickz]

Keep beating the dead equine

Whether we buy it at retail or under retail JB will never change which leather they decide to put on the shoe. Either buy it or don't simple as that

I didn't try to sign for a raffle, I didnt try to purchase online, I just went to our local store without any stress and grab a pair to add to my starting OG 88 family. Took lots of pics with the WC 88s comparison.

Good pics. Except for the EP, the TBs look so much better... And the NA on the WC looks horrible... Skinny mal-spaced letters. TB is really a good looking shoe.

That stiff leather on the upper reminds me of my old Golf GTI leather seats (very similar feel and texture). It's very rugged tho I gotta say.

I find Jordan 3 even more space age looking than Reebok Alien Stomper. Can rock these Js with Oakley Razor Blades lmfao!

Your mentality is sad. Let JB keep running all over you. This community needs to get wiser

Bro the shoes are fine. Y'all complaining must of got an off pair of something idk. Your comments are anecdotal, cause the pair I got are great quality & no errors.

My masters 12s I got in Honolulu in February had a small stitch out of place on the back pull tab at the base just above midsole.

EDIT: sz 12 do fit slightly tight, but I'm still rocking them. Not off size enough to move up a size or gripe

 

[JACKFROSTY843]

I've worn my WC 2011 to ball in

Don't do it

that true cement vibe ouch

Maybe we should all switch over to adidas and spend houndreds on Yeezy socks then.

 

[woody23]

Anyone know if this are marked down for non employees at the ES yet?

 

[gambit11]

Its still not nice seeing others getting robbed of their hard earned money, people are dropping $250 after taxes for these, they fooled you with the "remastered" talk

And they can just so easily walk back to the store and return their pair for their money back if they aren't satisfied.

Wow this thread is turning in to a real b*tch fest. If there's people that like the shoe, let them, to each their own, don't come in here bashing people for their choice or opinion. I myself, got a pair, i didn't think I would but after seeing them in person, I caved in. Even beforehand when I didn't think I would, I wasn't complaining non stop about every minor detail and laughing at those who copped. You guys are acting like these are made out of thumbtack soles, it's a clean colorway and I'm happy with my pair, congrats to those who copped, and if you passed, that's fine too, just please stop all the non stop complaining.

 

[tortuga]

Like em. Hopefully I can cop later on discount.

Tough part is even if these go on discount and/or make it to outlets that price is the old MSRP. Nike still makes loads of money. Personally I think it's a tough ask to produce close to or over a million of a shoe and think there will be no variation. By no means am I saying to accept poor quality, vote with your dollars consistently and Nike will respond.

Nice it's great that you got the pair you wanted

But why it look's like one pic was with flash and the other wasn't & that's the only difference

This is just me personally, I like these better than my 09's. They feel great on my feet. I like the look of them. Pretty happy with my purchase. No complaints on my end.
