AIR JORDAN 3 BLACK CEMENT - NOVEMBER 23, 2024

[trappedintime]

I been on NT for 20 years and can confirm that on any core OG retro of a popular shoe, Internet users on a message board are gonna critique the hell out of it.

People think they're sneakerheads but not online on sites, etc will have opinions but still cop regardless.

The other 90% of people who buy the shoes don’t give a s*** about what we nit pick because they don’t even notice it.

This isn’t unique to NT, this is in any level of consumer products. Audiophiles on Reddit can’t believe that people can’t differentiate between 128 kbps and Lossless. My wife can’t tell the difference between a 720p LCD vs a 2160p OLED.

I’m gonna get em regardless because I like em and it’s not that serious for me…but I totally understand people who are historians and have a higher level of standards than I do.

Yeah but it used to be NT actually critiqued the shoes that released and people bought. Now it’s months long critiques of B-grade or fake product no one here ends up with. Makes the discussion look more than a little ridiculous.

A min ago, cats was sayin everyone always dogs the old version when the new one comes out.

In this thread it’s the reverse

Cats lovin the 18s says somethin b

I had four or five pairs of the 2018s, they were good in the moment. Compared to these I am so glad that I sold them.

 

[green rhino123]

Nobody in here passin on **** when it comes to these. Come on now.

 

[ill4eva]

“I’m passing on these because the 2018s are better” roughly translates to “My money ain’t right so I’m making a fiscally responsible decision”

 

[iTookanL]

So are the 2018s reps of the 94s and the 2024s reps of the 88s?

All they had to do was put a wings logo on them BT and they were cool.

They went and did too much.

This is a perfect time to dog the old retro because it is a lot worse, you can post comparisons and show the differences.

These look just like the 18s very disappointing in this mix bag

 

[sickickz23]

Only one pair needed. If I somehow strike out I’m not even mad…won’t even go the resale route

 

[doublemesh96]

Most likely will get raked over the coals for elite ep pairs

 

[JRepp23]

Seriously what am I missing here? In 2018, everyone wanted lower EP at the toe box. They did it. Everyone wanted less tumbled glossy leather, they did it. Everyone wanted the red tucked behind the tongue, they did that also. Everyone wanted less padding around the ankle, they did that. Everyone wanted thinner cracks in the EP, they did that. As a guy that actually likes his 2018 pair, what am I missing that others are not happy with?

That widows peak on both shoes

Got pretty similarly pronounced widows peaks on my 2023 WC3. Doesn't bother me but if it bothers you, it's a really easy fix. Some sewing scissors or even a nailclipper. Gone in a few seconds

 

[Girl Thats Jules]

These look just like the 2011 version, I'm out.

 

[iTookanL]

These look exactly like the 2018 there's absolutely no difference

F JB as a staff, shoe company, and mf crew

[WASHED KING]

Selling your worn 2018 for more than you bought it for retail to buy a new 2024 pair >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Looks like most of the early pairs for sale are coming from the Vietnam factory. Explains why these don’t look like the reimagined WC3.

 

[kingjay718]

2018 retro was a dope one. Bought many pairs sold a few. I’m not gonna crap on them now to big these 2024’s up. 2018 retro was one that I wore for two weeks straight. Timeless colorway.

2024. Eh…..4-5 pairs.

 

[truenike81]

So China pairs are better than Vietnam pairs

 

[blacklion23]

They look decent here

Mannn where the pairs that look these? Or are these GS?

 

[el Chief]

So China pairs are better than Vietnam pairs

Yup, that was the consensus for reimagined WC3 with the factory talk.
