AIR JORDAN 3 BLACK CEMENT - NOVEMBER 23, 2024

[sg21089]

Good morning y’all, just wanted to know if anyone has run into this issue when ordering from dicks?. Ordered these last weekend because I had to size up and they got here yesterday. Go to open the box and saw the gold jumpman and was instantly thrown off. Haven’t seen a single person with this box. The pair does look much better than my 10.5 from footlocker though. Any insight?

The original box was probably destroyed and they just printed out another label at the warehouse and put it on that generic Jordan box. If they came from dicks, your good.

Every Nikestore has em 30% off, if you have FF pass, they can do additional 30% off as well

Shoe trees in these are like cheat codes to achieve 1988 stance.

I just noticed on my pair from trade block has some "ghost stitching" on both shoes. I still think they might be legit. The ghosts stitching doesn't light up under the black light. Can any of you guys check your pairs around the eyelets to see if yours might have them. I appreciate it.

Can anyone tell me what they think. I still think they may be real or should I just send them back to trade block. The ghost stitching doesn't shine under the black light so I don't really know if it's considered ghost stitching and the areas in the picture are the only ones on the whole shoe. Thanx in advance

Even though you tried to make things clear in your original post, I was confused and maybe others were too?

I had to google 'ghost stitching' so I don't know what's going on here.

First they mock you, then they imitate you. Typical rules of engagement when it comes to a great mind ahead of the pack. You inspired me to dig out my Amazon specials and stuff them thangs.

Ghosts stitching is marks that are visible under a black light so the person making the shoe knows where to align the different panels. The ghosts stitching on my pair is visible without the uv light and they don't glow with it, that's the only reason im questioning it. Here is an example of ghosts stitching.

Oh wow, thanks for the insight.

With that said I'm not sure what to think with your pair. Nike's own quality is sometimes worse than fake factories so not sure.

That happened with my Olympic 6 from Footlocker. Came in that same box. I personally wanted the White Blue "special" box ... so i took it to a Footlocker to exchange it . They didn't have my size so they sent me over to Champs then I got my pr with the Right box.

Im a semi-wide footer and TTS is the move.

All the pairs I’m seeing are VW1. Where are the LNM’s being sold ?

 

[headdetective]

Overseas

At this point I've just been looking at ebay for low ep pairs. I ended up finding a pair that has that low cut, slightly uneven ep like some of 1988 pairs and I think I'm gonna snag em. Dude wants $270 for em though. Might try to negotiate with the seller and see if I can get them for a little less but if not I'll probably still take them. Will probably just keep my release day pair and use them as beaters.

Do y'all think a double up is more than enough? I like this shoe so much y'all got me thinking about tripling up, but maybe that's OD. The thing is, it took me over running through 20 pairs on release week to find 2 solid pairs. I can't imagine the hassle of finding a 3rd good pair right now. Especially it's been a little while now it's all scattered bad pairs circling the inventory lol.

My union pair had 2/4 checkboxes
height
shape
elephant print
sleek toe box

My sheikh pair had 3/4 checkboxes
height
shape
elephant print
sleek toe box

I want to find a 7th pair to match a right one with my good left Sheikh one. But its a gamble without checking in person, and its annoying to do our “research” for a wealthy company not doing a proper job for quality control.

 

[KanyIZZY]

Got an LN4M pair I’m going to try to send back to ebay unless someone wants. They’re okay but diff than pics the seller sent.

 

[da hen]

Second wear, breaking in nicely baby.

 

[takeru007]

Surprised and just saw these on sale at the Nike store for 30% off.

Had anybody tried to price match their 3s at a Nike store given these are now on sale for 30% off??

You shouldn't have to do all that. Black cement 3s might be my favorite Jordan all time, but the quality on these are . I picked up 3 pairs so I can choose the best two shoes and all had flaws.
