AIR JORDAN 3 BLACK CEMENT - NOVEMBER 23, 2024

[TipsyMcStagga]

The pair on the right has fantastic EP; my WCs look like that.

That's the pair I kept. Gave the other pair to my son

 

[JMB10215]

Just saw Jay's video. His pair looks good.

 

[djpaul23sabong]

Looks good to me.
Compared it to my size 8.5 which is just half size smaller.

 

[headdetective]

That crease in the side would annoy me

 

[sickickz23]

The reimagined 5’s are killing these off first look. And the 3’s are suppose to be an OG retro lol. JB be confusing me

Still can’t get the tongue right on those 5s so idk

 

[headdetective]

Them 5s too gimmicky, they for the kids

 

[doublemesh96]

Looks good to me.
Compared it to my size 8.5 which is just half size smaller.

The difference in toebox slope is staggering

The difference in toebox slope is staggering

Thats the first thing i noticed, and i assume some pairs will be like that.

I am not trying to start the Factory talk already.. usually I do when it comes to large releases. However, there is a chance that shape wise we get this below. If we are starting to see pairs surface that means production for the black cement 3's have started in August and will range all the way to October. The design team at Nike production must be looking at this batch and is probably considering tweeking it. (Being optimistic).

That timeline seems way off.

BC3 Production dates: 8/16/17 - 11/17/17, release 3 months later on 02/17/18
FR3 Production dates: 12/17/21 - 04/29/22, release almost 4 months later 09/10/22

There's no way they are finishing production a month out before release. Production for the BC3s likely ended in August if we go by these trends.

I’m not even sure it’s toebox slope. It looks like the upper isn’t quite the same height and there’s not as much distance from the toebox to the top eyelet. You can kind of see it with the overlapping panel too not being the same length.

I don't disagree with that analysis.. however.. I did notice WC 3's production run all the way to January and release was in March.. we just gonna wait and see. Im just trying to be optimistic.. but I think we might know the answer already .. sad

Thats what I am seeing too trappedintime , the shoe its self is stumpy or too low. It won't allow for a slope. Im noticing a bit of banana shape as it gets to the end by the elephant print.

 

[sickickz23]

Missing the key part: Vietnam. China probably has the better molds for the 3s

 

[Boo_Radley_]

Still can’t get the tongue right on those 5s so idk

I don’t understand why they can’t use the soft material like the 2000 retros. That hard, tall, stiff tongue (pause) ain’t it.

….I’m still coppin’ tho.

 

[dhtowng]

I literally pray my pair doesn't look like that

Yeah it’s the boxy, cliff toe looking toe box. Idk maybe it’s the angle. This pair and UBKs pair fr had me damn near out on these.

The pair on the right has fantastic EP; my WCs look like that.

Because it’s sloped/ rounded and less squared off like the BC3 are looking so far. Makes a huge difference.

The difference in toebox slope is staggering

This. That’s exactly what’s going on with these BC3s. Looks like they reverted back to that squared toe box look smh. What happened to the rounded off aerodynamic toebox like the WCs? I hope all the pairs aren’t like this but it is what it is. Still copping but JB is wild for that.

 

[frank mucus]

Good thing Jay delivered that video. I was about to trade an extra pair of guava 4s + $100 for the 2018s at my resale shop

 

[hitman243]

Might wait and get these on disco.

Yeah I said it. A bc3 is going on disco.

got 2018 on sale

 

[Alonso240]

Missing the key part: Vietnam. China probably has the better molds for the 3s

You'd think Nike could just transfer the same CAD models to their suppliers so the end product would look the same, regardless of the country of manufacture.

 

[Belair5]

Real thin toe caps ......2028 for 40th anniversary

 

[skyeezy]

I havnt been that active on Niketalk but I would assume ppl who actually work at Jordan brand lurkin on here right.. I would think its easy to just get that mold right one time and be over with. Every 5-10 years just rerelease the same **** based on same mold.

Cliffs of Dover toebox

[engineer]

Yea they ****** up on these. I’m holding out hope that all these early pairs came from SZ.

 

[doublemesh96]

Don’t make fun of my guy Jay.

…just don’t do it.
