AIR JORDAN 3 BLACK CEMENT - NOVEMBER 23, 2024

That's going to be the least of our concerns.

Baltimore port workers join nationwide strike after union contract expires

Port workers in Baltimore joined others around the country when the union representing about 45,000 workers went on strike for the first time in nearly five decades.

So now we’re talking about ports?

 

[kingsrborn]

Im not blind to how pairs are shipped here, before the initial release date. But y'all mean to tell me, that every single pair that was made, is already here inside of the states, when were still almost two months out before the release?

So y'all mean to tell me, if the shipping at all of these ports are shut down for a few weeks, that even if most pairs are here, that all of the pairs ordered online, are going to be shipped to us, without any delayes or issues?

Even if thats the case, stores and resellers are going to advantage of the strike, and the prices on these will go up no matter what. Simply because they can get away it, because of whats going on. I dont think everything is going to go as smoothly as yall think it is in November. Maybe if the strike ends within a week, it might still go smoothly for this release.

Anything past two weeks, yall can forget about everything going smoothly with the retail or resale prices, down to everybody recieving there shipped pairs on time. Yall can act delusional as much as yall want too about whats going on.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Still in for 2

 

[slaughterx]

Maybe in for 1 pair for the collection, but like the fire reds... I don't see myself actually wearing these.

You are right, just not for this particular release. Maybe that strike will affect the Christmas and early 2025 releases. These have been sitting in Memphis in the warehouse and the other warehouses for quite some time. The sneakers don’t come from overseas directly to the retailers. They sit in Nikes warehouses for months and are sent to retailers from there, especially on huge releases like this.

 

[dhtowng]

Not sure why everyone’s so worried about shipping port delays when 85% of y’all don’t like these and were “passing” anyway lol. Keep that very same energy is all I’m saying lol.

 

[iTookanL]

Picked up the new beginnings pack so I'll prob pass on these actually (maybe)

I know you mean well but I don’t agree with almost anything you said here. You even went so far as to say this will impact resale pairs. Anything overseas sold on these platforms is shipped by fedex/ups/dhl… by air. They aren’t coming over on a slow boat from China my guy. They clear customs at the airport and are picked up by the carrier.

You’re even claiming no one will get shipped pairs on time as if the ports have anything to do with that. Talk about delusional!

The people have spoken 24 should be an ez cop

 

[Belair5]

Leather was TOP SHELF

 

[ill4eva]

lol at that screen name. Jfc

 

[headdetective]

Im not sayin i think 18s are better, but im glad I didn’t off them lol

 

[jordanhead718212]

Lmao bro you said they was trash and you couldn't wear em anymore, and that was before pics of the 24 ever even dropped

 

[ntenjoyer420]

Im not sayin i think 18s are better, but im glad I didn’t off them lol

your post missing lately b, you good?

 

[ntva28]

In the Reimagined IV thread some of us were complaining about the leather, not shape. They turned out pretty good in terms of shape. Similarly, some are complaining about these black cements, but I hope it turns out better than expected.

They are trash, but I mean, what do we have to choose from if we want a BC3?

It’s these or those.

Both trash lol

BOTH TRASH LOL​

This was basically what I was saying a few pages back, but dudes took it the wrong way and crucified me SEVERLY for it.



These are basically like the 2012 & 2019 Black Cement 4's. Were there improvements made on the 2019's from the 2012's? Yes! But overall and in hindsight the 2019's were STILL UBER TRASH.​

Both trash lol

newer trash lasts longer than older trash

 

[Boo_Radley_]

The disdain for this release is quite strange.

The few times where opinions and subjective is sooooo wrong. I want to shun them all because these will sell out regardless if they didn’t play a role.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

So many cooked 2018's posted for $180+ on eBay & Grailed

2024 retro got sellers acting bold

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

I like the 2019 black cement 4s

 

[joshkoshbgosh]

This reminds me of when the 2011 dropped and people tried to act like those cardboard 2008's were better.

meanwhile they were both similar levels of trash.

So far IMO these are looking like the best retro since 2001.

 

[SoleByThePound]

I like the 2019 black cement 4s

A fan of the Cliffs of Dover?
