Comparable to the low patent leather cut vs high patent leather cut on 11s

I guess I'll put this out there for the followers and lurkers of the thread.... Does anyone have an actual '88 OG pair of the Black Cement 3? Looking for a sz 10-10.5. If there's a 9.5 that's doable too.

Looking at one of Tinker's original sketches of the 3, you can see the detail he wanted in either Jade Grey or Cement on the elephant hide. The "corded edge" is definitely something that's missing on the 3s nowadays. The lower profile elephant print just looks so much better!

If ya'll have pics rocking these in the 90s, **** post them up!

I got the red pair on the way. I need a Navy pair in 10.5.

I will still pass. They've actually been using the same tongues way before 2016. Think mid 2000s era. I'll bring in an example of the AJ 11. High patent leather cut was traditionally on the OG then went away when they retroed in the 2000s and a lower cut of patent leather was used. When JB...

The tongue still looks like a plastic pillow. I hate it. The OG and the 2000 retro had that nice fabric reflective tongue.

Patience is a hard task for some

They’ll be back in 5 years with it and then it’ll be “just as close” for another retro 5 more years after that :lol:
