AIR JORDAN 3 BLACK CEMENT - NOVEMBER 23, 2024

[SoleByThePound]

I thought it was supposed to be as close to da 88 OG shape?..that aint OG shape. The elephant is high and. The toe box is thick as hell. Cmon nike/jordan brand the shoe overall just looks fat or sum

Exactly! All of you creaming your pants need to get your eyes checked. The elephant print height is the same as 2018 and that shape is not it. I’m still waiting for authorized Nike photos before I say anything because that mock up is no bueno.

Did they not use the same mold as the re-imagined WCs? The shape looks not as sleek. EP cement grey is too light?

Just a quick reminder of what the 2018 pair looked like.

4 pairs. My bday is the November 25th, it’ll be a happy birthday to me!

What it dew birthday twin!!
Turkey babies will eat on this release

 

[Quiggles706]

I’ll just keep my 2018 pair

 

[bestintheworld]

Something about these look off. Hopefully it’s just that pair pictured though. The leather looks the same as the green glow pair that released in March and the elephant print looks a bit too light. . . I will still pick up a pair but idk, they’re not setting my soul on fire like I thought they would from those initial pics.

Just a quick reminder of what the 2018 pair looked like.

The shape of the 2024's look just like the 2018's. Slight banana-toed.

The 2024's are actually a retro of the 2018's....with lighter EP and just a very slightly lower-front elephant print.

Something does still seem kind of "off" a bit but definitely copping for my son and I

Thought they would use the same mold as the 23 WC3?
Maybe they did and it's a size thing or something but these don't look as tall.

And the print does look too light. Some complained about the WC3 print and this look like a possible overcorrection. But again, hopefully just this pair.

They definitely should've used the WC reimagined mold.. that shape looks off.. certainly not what you expect when you think of 88. It's legit like the green glow.. even the leather. It's like they had a boardroom meeting and the result was artificially light EP= 88. Going to wait for more updated pics though.. JD pic is prob a fluke aka SZ pair.

Now we know the good execs were the ones fired from Nike in it's recent layoffs lol

 

[SuperQ]

Facts, can't put my finger on it though. When you compare the picture of these to the Reimagineds, I actually like the reimagined shape better. Not sure what exactly they improved on on this mold. Still copping though, they're good enough.

“Good enough” is why we get what we get from JB…

Fr in 22 wc 23...these in 24...they sure do drop OG 3s quick lately and leave so many other models hanging. I get it tho...3s will move good. **** don't feel special no more tho lol but they just shoes...not meant to be this big deal. Rock em and move on

 

[jordanhead718212]

Fair enough. You might be willing to wait until you're 70 for a perfect retro, I however am not.

 

[Blackjesus-23]

WOW! Not really jumpin with excitement with our 1st looks at these. Not sure why they lightened the Cement panels, they should be the same color Grey as the upper pannels/tongue on the Black colorway like the OG. The Cement panels still seem high to me, shape is still off, but I do however like that it looks like they are not as shiny with that Poly Coat on the Leather upper as the 2018 release. LETS JUST HOPE WE GET THE EXACT LEATHER ON EACH SHOE, don't understand how they always look different ...Example: Left shoe smooth, right shoe plush, UGH! DRIVES ME CRAZY LOL

Anywaz this is just a Vent from the pics we got above, things could change by release date......prob not tho hah

Cement color panels should be pretty close to the Grey Upper/Tongue ...see below

When time travel becomes a thing, best believe I will have OG pairs of everything. It’s going to be fantastic.

 

[dhtowng]

Just too early for me to conclude (based off that one picture) that they changed anything for the worse regarding the shape. Pairs are obviously going to slightly vary based on the factory they’re made in. I’m still maintaining that these will look better as more and more retail pics come out. The leather already looks extremely A1 to me. Hard to deny that at least, if anyone’s being honest anymore on here.

 

[iTookanL]

Those are reps wait until official images come out

 

[JMB10215]

If y’all hit the toe box with the iron you’ll get the perfect shape everytime. Don’t take my word for it, these are both my 3’s and 4’s after hitting the toe box.

 

[urn0tlike]

Gonna give Nike the benefit of the doubt they got these right and the final product will confirm. If they ****** up going from the WC to these then .
