These Black/Cement 3s will be a big test.

I first bought these in 2001 and remember being like the 4th person in line after pulling up a little before 7am. Back then it was the same 6-7 people you'd see at every release. The stores had like 2 size runs and THAT WAS IT. They sold out immediately. As we were walking out with our pairs a whole basketball team showed up to get them and they were already gone. One of the few shoes I wore until the soles came wore off.

Peep the NT WDYWT pic from 2005!

I copped the 2018 pair and they are still in good shape. My gut tells me to try for these this year but honestly.. I'm passing. It's a Top 5 for me all time. But I'm over it.

I’m in the same boat.

BC3 & BC4 are my favorite Jordans of all time all time.

Didn’t try for the reimagined IV (leather upper ), but even it was the proper nubuck I wound have still passed.

Passing on the III’s as well.

Debating going for the 3's cause I've never hit on them. I believe my package got stolen in 2018 at the postal distribution centre (last tracking location).
Entered some IG raffles, so maybe if I win the raffle lol. They are also almost $300 CAD before tax...

Always preferred white cement 3s over black cements. Even sold my 2018 pair of black cements for that reason. With that said, I have no self control, and will be trying to buy black cements on Saturday.


Been meaning to sell pairs, but the way the market is currently, it’s really tough to move anything unless you’re basically giving it away. Hoping the market comes back a bit soon, so I can actually make a few bucks to offset buying. This year I’ve sold 14 pairs, and bought 30. I gotta do better, bros.
