OG Nike Air Jordan III Retro True Blue BLACK FRIDAY '16

[80swerv]

Yeah I sold my sport blue 3s was terrible plastic indeed

 

[0takusamsay]

We posted a lot about it earlier in the thread
With a user named X-Alt
If we go by the 1988 shape
You'll see it's more of a sharp muffled nose shape


And with the most recent true blue
You see the shape come up



Also the discussion of thickness of the print
If you notice the OG had a thinner print
Vs the recent having a thicker print

That OG shape plz Nike!  I know they not ggonna do it though.

Cuz people would rather have NMD's and Yeezy's. Not me tho I'm loving this. This is my first year really buying alot of Jordans and I'm getting everything I want [emoji]9786[/emoji][emoji]9786[/emoji]

I've always liked the blue tongue liner more than the red on this sneaker.

I like the red tongue; this show has too much blue and the red balances it out

My thoughts as well. I've never owned a pair other than the 2011s, but I always liked the look of the red tongue.

yea same here im trying for 2 pair. Its my atf of the jordan 3's

 

[sonicjai]

1 pair is fine.  Not feeling that red tongue tho

 

[dhtowng]

The thing is if they were going to use the red lining like the OG then they should've rolled the leather edges at the tip/top of the tongue, like the OG. If that makes sense. Red lining looks kinda awkward as is IMO. The fact is they haven't rolled the edges of the tongue since the OG. I'm sure I'll get used to it (the visible red lining) though.

 

[rhinosport]

I don't get this red tongue hate...
BC - red tongue
WC - red tongue
OG TB - red tongue

From 01,09,11 had blue tongue.
Having owned the 01s and 11s, I'm glad they went back to the red.

The only thing questionable is that shade of blue...

 

[Bert.]

Don't like the red tounge either

 

[Chill Bill]

Jeans covering the tongue on mine anyway

Hope they come with a hangtag
Imma wear it out

Know exactly what you mean, said this earlier in the thread. Tbh, I thought the way they did the tongue on the OGs looked better on most models. Gave it a seamless look and you could see the jumpman w/o making the tongue so long since it was all the way at the top.

personally for me I get the whole og red tongue but the BC sock liner is grey along with the front of the tongue. WC has the white sockliner along with the tongue. just the colorblocking in the sockliner looks weird red with blue. The white and grey are more neutral colors. Looks like a frankenstein mash up JB ran out of TB tongues and used the WC leftovers.

But will still pick up 2 pairs.

 

[bluegreen33]

I'm paying $190-220 on Jordans, $200-250 on Foams, $200 on Lebrons, $160-250 on Kobes, and $1000 on Yeezys. I really don't care anymore.

I feel you...what can you do?[emoji]128532[/emoji]

 

[pimpala50]

Glad to see they finally put the correct tongue on these wish they'd get the EP right....

 

[Koncrete Kickz]

I remember when they dropped in 09 most on NT wanted the red tongue, times and members have really changed....
