^ What culture do you belong to? Also... someone way up there said the III's are not cements.... Look at the box tag: White/Cement Grey-Fire Red.

Most of the nicknames come from the actual colorway of the shoe... just look on the box.

SEPTEMBER >>> SPORT BLUE.
i never understood this. because i got some jordan ol' schools for basketball and they have the same print as the 3's, but they call themelephant print rather than cement.Originally Posted by veGAtts

So referring to them as cement IIIs is just wrong (no cement print on it - its elephant)
the grey on those 3s is cement grey. same as the 4s you mention. the speckles are just that, speckles, have nothing to do with the cement color.
