I didn't know so many people didn't like the '18s.































So anyone got a 10.5 they wanna let go of for cheap??

Haven’t worn my pair in over a year. Want to check on them hearing about back tabs oxidizing. I just made the 2011’s and the 2012 Black/Cement 4’s my nightlife beaters

Depends on who you ask. Was JUST discussing this a page or two ago, and some were calling me crazy. "Decent" is relative.

In MY opinion, they haven't come close to getting Cement 3's right since 2001. The 2003 white/cements were ok, but had the Jumpman on the back.

The shape on these 18's are no bueno. Elephant print cut is WAY too high on the toe, completely ruining the look of the entire shoe. Elephant print overall is too bold/thick.

Again, many are pleased with this release and this is all just IMO. I was around for the 88's, 94's, and had the 2001's so my opinion may be different than others.

They’re nice but a disgrace compared to what the 3s look like now.

getting exact OG copies is a dream at this point

It can be done we know that but from a business standpoint why would they do it?

We don’t need exact copy’s. They just should have done these like they did the Unites, UNCs and recent Georgetown 3s. The outrage is that they waited until after they released these to go and fix the shape and toebox (and tongue). Do you not see that JB has finally fixed the AJ3? And does it not make you upset you or at least kind of bother you that they didn’t start with these?

it will be another release gimmick just like the 85’s they just started doing

its all for the money.

Idk I doubled up on these BC3s and the 2020+ AJ3s JB has been putting out is LEAGUES better than what we got in 2018 and prior...

Beat you to it. Sorry, bro.

I posted this in the navy thread, but this comparison really shows you how off the black cements were . The navy's are as close to OG (close) as we have recently seen - and hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Look at how they are even correcting the back ankle height

 

[85ROY]

Bad shape. Bad materials. But you throw that NA on the back of some BC3's and its a wrap. Double up each and every time.

I'm the EXACT same with the BC 4's. No matter how much I loathe what the model as whole, has become.

I posted this last year when I had my custom Unites made... As you can see in my pics, they’re MILES better than the trash 2018 BC3. Not a day goes by that I ever regret selling my 2018 BC3s for like $420+ in StockX and wearing customized Unites instead:

This release was quite a disappointment in hindsight-got my custom Unite 3s in this week so I went ahead and sold my 2nd pair of BC3s. I posted these pics in the Unite thread but Nike/JB really should have stepped it up for the 2018 BC3 release:

Unite 3 heel shape:

2018 BC3 heel shape:

Yours turned out great.

They are miles better. Jordan Brand not caring about their legacy.

Next, they need to just man up and get the color(s) and line thickness right, or much closer to right, on the damn EP. If they did that and combined it with the new shape and cuts, I'd be pretty happy.
