Its funny because i was goin thru some of my old stuff that I threw into a shoebox, when i came accross this Slam magazine 1988 edition.

I was flippin' thru the pages when i noticed Money wearing these:

He wore them in the 1988 Dunk Contest...its funny because i had a conversation with an OG Basketball fan (in his 40's) a year ago and he seen me wearing mywhite-cement 3's and asked me "are those the shoes Mike wore in the Dunk Contest when he beat Nique?"

And i replied Yea....he said: "I couldve swore they had blue in them." and i told him that he was thinking of the True Blues. He said to me"Nah, right here at the bottom (pointed at the elephant print) and said it was blue THERE."

I still denied even though i felt awkard telling this OG he was wrong...

It turns out....he proved me wrong

Those are White Cements, the Elephant Print does have a bluish look to it in that pic though, but they are White Cements just in weird lighting

First pic reminds me of the White/Blue/Red colorway of the Spizikes.

Maybe the angle of the cement print made it look blue?

So these aren't White Cements?




Because they sure look like they are
 
Those are white and cement IIIs.

OG III elephant print + the quality of the photo makes it look different.

There is no blue tinged elephant print or this would have been shown longgg ago.
 
Hmmm...i think you guys are right...guess i told OG the truth.

Could be the lighting of the picture.

I thought it was blue too when I first saw it..
But it doesn't seem right. I watched the video, I saw other pictures. All I saw was just regular White/Cement.
I wish I was right, that they are blue. Hahaha...
 
how many pics and vids have you seen of the 88 dunk contest? those are clearly cements

the lighting and 80s cameras make em seem blue

Didn't know lightning effects picture taking? Just messing with you, the light and the old school cameras give it that blueish tint. Those OGcements are
