Official Air Jordan 3 "White Cement" '88 Retro - Retail $200

Nice, All us OG heads from the 80's will be down for this, funny thing though cause now it seems that everyone wants this but when you read in other forums about jumpman vs nike air dudes be slamming nike air and us OG's for wanting back on our J's.

so just because you're from the 80's means you should get dibs and only you guys deserve them?

SMH just stop it, you sound like a child.
 
So basically, they are gonna release the exact same shoe 2 years later with a logo change? Like the logo change will make the quality magically OG status.

I'm good, my 2011's are in damn near mint condition.
NIKE AIR is a trick to get people to buy the same exact 2011 with just a logo change.
No thank you.

C/S. Might take a shot at these as they're my favorite III colorway, but my 2011 retros are pretty crispy.
 
I personally know people who have invested an lost their shirt.... Try telling that stuff to them.... NOTHING IS A GUARANTEE IN LIFE....
Do yourself a favor and go see the movie boiler room....
Also check out the Sopranos episode where Christopher opens a stock trading firm....
You don't think things like that happen to people???
You don't remember 2008 when a ton of people's 401k were basically worthless... Why because of speculation....
The people that you know that lost there shirt...how diversified were there investments? Over how many distinctly different market segments did they invest? Nothing is guaranteed in life, true, but most failure in the market comes from lack of knowledge more than Bernie Madoff's...

Also, How can you reference a movie and a TV show for an clear and accurate view of the ins and outs of the market? I mean really that's just like me saying I know what real doctors do everyday from watching Grey's Anatomy...

People do lose money in the market, especially in the short term. But even for the people in 2008, if they didn't panic, they would have made their most if not ALL of there money back in 4 years. Long term investments have a proven history of providing wealth. And BTW 401k are worthless anyway if you don't pick the funds and stocks yourself. Trust no one.
 
Finally. I hope all you guys telling everyone to get over not having a proper retro with NIKE AIR will steer clear and be happy with those 2011s.

and I hope you guys don't whine about the quality and differences now that you have Nike Air.

Well for 1 Boiler room was based on real-life brokers stories not just some magical fantasy...

Sopranos ill give you is satire but they were getting it from ongoing issues.... Like many shows do they take real life events and satire them...

In regards to how diversified people's investments are I am not in their pockets like that.... I am not their broker.... I have done peoples taxes and know people personally and make my conclusions from what I see and hear....

You acknowledged my biggest point that nothing in life is guaranteed and you seem like you know what you are doing but I would not advocate people to jump in and become day traders that seems like it is a very research driven career and if you don't know what you are doing you could run into major problems.

I just want to let you know that historically the stock market has yielded 8% annually which isn't a bad investment but like you pointed out if you are not in it for the long haul you probably won't make much money.... BUT LIKE I SAID NOTHING IS A GUARANTEE and it has been very turbulent in recent years which would scare me.... Personally I would go right now for Muni bonds as they give a decent annual yield and they are triple tax deferred... That's just me though....

anyway it was nice conversating with you but I think we've hijacked this thread enough......

Anyway Nike Air....

LOL

I HAD THE BLK/CMT 3 W DA NIKE AIR LOGO.

IT DIDNT GRANT ME SPECIAL POWERS. I STILL BOUGHT DA CDP 3 (WHICH I QUITE LIKE). I ALSO BOUGHT DA '11 3 (WHICH I SOLD CUZ OF DA SHINE)

THE 3 IS MY FAVORITE MODEL. I WELCOME DA RETURN AND I FOR ONE DO NOT MIND MULTIPLES OF DA BLK/CMT AND WHT/CMT 3
 
Wonder how much the prices of the' 94, and '01 pairs will drop?
Told myself I was purely done with copping J's but if they do a rendition of the Nike Air in the back of a IV that self promise will be broken.
 
:smh:

Can't believe they're trolling like this.

I will try to cop, but if I have to jump through hoops and potentially cause bodily harm to myself then I'm not with it.

Because firms are keeping people on that long who've lost a substantial amount of money, right?

Sorry for the slight thread derailment, but unless you were in New York when this happened along with the mandatory implementation of electronic trading then you don't know half the story.
 
knew this would happen sooner or later

they ganna release the 4s next with nike air on the back

but must cop multiples of these as white cement 3s are of my favorites

wonder if they ganna release the blacks too

for some reason i can see JB releasing these in a jumpman box lol

Lol JB definitely knows how to make money. Releasing the same thing with a slight change and the public thanking them for it.

I actually like the fact that there is mandatory electronic trading...does it add volatility to the market? Yes, but at the same time it allows people to control there own money and make trading decisions for themselves. 95% of the info you need to make educated trades are available on the internet (5% is the illegal tips that happen on the highest level ie Martha Stewart). The thing I'm just trying to emphasize is that trading is not as hard or as risky as it sounds when you make EDUCATED decisions on your investments. The odds are much more in your favor than gambling at a casino and that is a fact. And even though 401k are good, if you are letting the broker make all of the decisions, your not making a smart decision. And mutual funds are barely better than Savings accounts, you can build huge wealth if you do research, plan, and diversify.
 
This **** is getting old, quick. How many times do they have to re-release the same *** shoes over and over again? These will become the over hyped as usual.
 
I don't see why people troll JB so much now-a-days.. You ask for another retro with the Nike Air on the back, then JB gives it to you. Now you troll about the crappy quality of the shoes.. Please go somewhere and sit in a corner because JB will not give you the quality of products like the OG's and the first retro's had..Reason is because these products are barely found now and are higher to get than the cheaper quality they are using now. Another reason is because these people who are in the game now don't know how to take care of the sneakers and they just run them into the ground. You aren't going to get another RETRO with the quality of an OG point blank period. If JB was to give another retro the quality of an OG than the price of those sneakers would be higher than what we're paying now and you all would complain about that.

Jordan Brand is making shoes for this age group that is coming up who didn't get a chance to see Jordan play, they don't deserve the good quality like the older shoes had because they didn't have to work as hard to get them like before. Now a kid can just ask his parents for the money to get the new Jordans that come out and then go back and ask again in 2 weeks for the next release. When Jordans were first coming out the people who got OG's and were kids getting OG's had it hard to get them. If you were a kid asking for some OG's then you would have to wait a while before you got your next pair. So don't give JB this much troll because these kids don't appreciate Jordans like you older cats do. So either take the quality that comes out now from JB or get out the game period.
