Official Jordan III Thread

[therealest1]

Might as well have a broad thread for the Jordan III since some already exist for the 1 High, 2, VIII, XI, XII XIII and XIV on this Jordan Brand forum so far.

It's surprising one doesn't exist for the III since it's an iconic and well-liked Jordan model. It's Michael Jordan's favorite model. It's also the model that secured Jordan to Nike forever.

Please post anything related to the Jordan III on here.

Better late than never with getting the recently re-released Black Cement III because I got a really favorable deal on them. And this is the first time in my life ever owning this color!

I’m not mad at this.

I admit I'm following suit because I've seen broad/general threads for popular or iconic shoe models on other forums on this site as well. Like there's broad threads for the Foamposite or various Deion Sanders signature models on the Nike Retro forum. The Other Brands forum has some as well.

2025 Jordan 3 not looking bad so far.

Black Cat
Lucky Shorts
Silver Anniversary
Solefly collab (that hopefully will be dope)
Rare Air
Diffused Blue & Sport Royal (the renders got these looking the same, I doubt they are really)
Fireside Orange (these are a wildcard )
Dusty Clay and Valentine's Day for the ladies

... something tells me there's a couple more coming we don't know about yet.

They should also thrown in an original color with the "Nike Air" on the back of the III since it's the 40th anniversary of the brand next year. Like the White Cement III or True Blue III would be reasonable since it's been many years when either of those were rehashed. I can't recall the last time the White Cement III with "Nike Air" was re-released. The True Blue III with the "Nike Air" was last re-released in 2016.

A true blue is needed with new specs... ready to turn my 2016s into beaters...

Was wondering why nobody ever made a 3 thread, thank you

Welp, get ready for endless IG of the same shoe.
That's moved just 3° from the previous post

Mine about to get deleted too. We needed an Official XV thread before IIIs. Check out this thug ****

I’m jealous that I didn’t think of this first.

The 2025 version of the Black Cat III will have an omission of this detail that was on the previous version.

 

[sharpshooter718]

These are nice...

I had to get the 2024 Black Cement III to match with these two jerseys. These two pieces motivated me to get these. I'm glad I finally have the right shoes to wear with them.

These are so under rated...

Just curious what that Bulls jersey has to do with these shoes. Mike never wore the black cements in a game other than the All-Star game.

Officially putting these in my normal rotation. They started chipping on the midsole heavy over the summer. I can clean and touch these up but I really hate the toebox. Might purchase the wizard PE as a replacement. 2025 is everyone's grail year but I don't plan on buying much. Nothing I really want.

Damn that old shape is so bad they look fake. Crazy

If I didn't buy them in store myself I would've thought they were fake.

I had the 2001 pair and those were my favorite pair of Jay's ever. Wore those for 7-8 years... became beaters then played ball in them until they couldn't be worn anymore...

When I brought these home and looked at them, I was torn. It was my first Jordan purchase in over 7 years but it didn't feel right...lolololololol

 

[phemom]

I think that sample fragment pair is far better than the pair that dropped (and paid resale for )

Whats the consensus in the white cement with the grey midsole? They sitting in a few shoe stores next to the black cements
