Air Jordan III OG Black Cement returns Feb 2018 - Nike Air on the back

[TipsyMcStagga]

I actually prefer the early 2000s mold over the OG mold

 

[toneagain]

the og looks less bulky

 

[Gordonson]

we're definitely not getting these, but is that a more comfortable shoe than the newer mold

No experience with the original release, but I'd have to imagine that it was just based on the trajectory of models of similar construction.

Air units have gotten smaller and the foam used for midsoles has gotten denser so when that's where the real comfort lies, an ortholite insole is only going to do but so much to mask the inferiority.

but i would think they had less technology focused on comfort in 87

Newer releases of these models don't use any newer comfort technology though, so I don't quite follow.

It's still a polyurethane midsole and heel and forefoot air unit combo, but like I said; the air units are smaller and less filled and the midsoles are denser and less effective as a carrier. They had less technology then, but they care less now.

Dang, that's a huge NBA logo on those socks.

 

[Magic33]

People just don't buy Js as much anymore. The amount of kids that watched Jordan play is gettting less and less.

I'm not sure where you live and who you are amongst, but a lot of kids still buy Jordans.

Go to any metro area in the country.

2013 88 were kind of similar to 2011 white cement 3

Not at all

Had both

88 were softer all around while 2011 were stiff and plastic coated almost

 

[rbk93]

Just from videos, looks like the same shoe.

 

[da hen]

Wow, that pic shows just how far ahead of its time it really was. AJ III and IV, GOAT models for me.

[AL Andretti]

^ can’t wait.

 

[3god]

2 pairs

 

[tonytobacco]

Nah man come tf on

 

[3god]

Here we go...

 

[rbk93]

Pretty much holds the same shape as the TB3s.

 

[salacious crumb]

Pretty much holds the same shape as the TB3s.

Leather looks slightly better.

We can't expect much from shape these days from JB. Thankfully they dropped the price down $20.

 

[bestintheworld]

Elephant print on the toe looks mighty; much like the ‘94 version my opinion. Still appears to be early in production so final changes could still be applied, but irregardless I will be purchasing at least one pair

 

[urbanmiracle]

3 pairs. One of the only shoes I want for 2018. These and the mocha 3 are a MUST.

 

[toneagain]

that's the 98% joint right

 

[SoleByThePound]

Those look like a restoration pair that someone is trying to pass off as the upcoming release. Picture was taking during the sole swap stage.

 

[ninjahood]

They will never look like the OGs lol, never. Idk why you guys continue to get your hopes up, disappointing yourselves at this point.

plus da OG shape of da III's were always eww.

94>*

 

[orangeman13]

Are these going to be a general release?

 

[donjuan513]

I held the final sample yesterday at the office and the leather is HEAPS better than the TB3. They really made sure people are getting their money's worth with these.

Any word if they’ll be a general release?
