I'm a og at 52 and the first pair of original Jordan 3's I got back in 1988 was the fire red 3's so these have more nostalgic value for me than the white cement 3's. Both pairs are 🔥! Another great video and review MK!👍
@@mkthetruthdodbent4089 lol, you can't go wrong with either pair. I do see your point about wanting the shoes to be pre aged since it look evenly aged and all done at once. But on the other side of the coin a og guy like me loves breaking in the sneakers the old fashioned way, by wearing them! 😀👍
OG here as well. I’ll go with the Cements. I remember when they dropped originally. But you can’t go wrong either way. We lived in the greatest era of sneakers 1998-1995
@@kpperry784 yeah those were great years. My fondest memory was being at the 1993 NBA Finals in Phoenix Arizona watching MJ and the Bulls win their 3rd consecutive championship. Go Bulls!
I like both. The cements can wear with anything damn near the 🔥 red's just look doper, cleaner and standout more and have more detail to them. I'll have to pick the 🔥 red's.
As much as I love a crispy new clean sneaker the reimagined just for so many reasons gets my vote hands down. The uniqueness of the pre aged look along with the story of the reimagined series. Then you add the fact that they just stretched the life and wear ability of the shoe and it wins for all common sense and practical reasons.
I didn’t get the Reimagined because I have the Fire Reds but I’m here because I can get the Reimagined at retail from a friend.. i didnt know that sail hits made that much of a difference 🔥🔥.. I can’t choose.. Great professional vid per usual brotha
The more I see those fire red 3s, the more I want them. They are one of the og colourways, after all. However, I think my recent double up on the white cements just, well, /cements/ my preference between the two. If Jordan Brand ever releases the true blues in this updated cut...
That white, black, sail, and elephant print just flows better imo. I prefer the lighter and thinner elephant print, but wouldn't want that on the Fire Reds -- the darker fits better on that shoe. Great comparison vid!
What's funny is I did the same thing when I picked up my pair on Saturday. To me though I really do think it would depend on what mood I'm in at the time. I do have a lot of red in my wardrobe so I will probably end up wearing fire reds more.
I think it’s a pretty even comparison I like the fire red more but the white cement has more neutral colors , if I had to buy one it would be the white cement , However I doubled up on both
Depending on the type of day it is will make the difference in which pair to wear for me… if it’s a nice day out then the bright whites are coming out… if it’s a gloomy but NO rain day the cements will be the move and u will be able to spot the difference in the shoe
Man o man..sold all 3 of my retail fire red 3s! Need them back ASAP! Great comparison. Same thing happened to fire reds that people are dawgin the white cements for……inconsistent is the norm.
Sitting here waiting by the window for fedex to drop off my pair 👌🏽 But dam yeah i didnt notice the upper leather is a different white ! Ima def compare my pair too my fire reds also, great content G peace
Mannnnnn I honestly love both of these and the true blues equally. But as far as wearability I’d say the white cements have it. Pre-aged or not they just go with any and everything 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was wondering if the Fire Red had the same tooling (i.e. toe box). Also did not know the the Reimagined was not pure white. Great comparison and been searching for a video to do as such!!
First thing I also did when I got home is compare them to my fire reds. Definitely caught the leather color difference immediately. Would’ve preferred if jb left the wc3s without doing the reimagined look. Fire red 3s still my favorite!
Thanks for doing this. I wasn’t able to get the reimagined but like many here I guess, I managed to get the fire reds. So I wanted to decide how much I should chase the reimagined (I have bought a personal pair for resale yet)
With all the QC issues that the White Cements seem to have I'm not all that broken up about not hitting on them, seeing as how I also have 2 pairs of the Fire Reds.
Same here, after watching numerous TH-camrs complaining about almost every pair of wc3's had QC issues I was glad I didn't waste money on them. I have the fire red 3's and they are perfect. 👍
Next month, do a Jordan 3 Wizards Vs the Cardinal 3's from last year?!? I did cop the Cardinal 3's but I also slept on how fire they are, until I took them out the box last week for the first time since I bought them. I hear the Wizard 3's are just as fire except the midsole is blue.
This is weird cause I just got my reimagined kicks yesterday and I did just what you did in this video. That's wassup and imma cheat and say both but the black and white joints are my favorite. I do have a question if you can find the time to respond. What do you think of Nike calling the reimagined, cement 3's when it's clearly elephant print? I literally been going back and forth on fb with people about this. I literally been wearing Jordan 3's since day 1. My first pair where the black elephant print. Me and my father went out and bought them. Believe it or not he actually still has his pair all these years later. Trying to get them up off him lol.
Once those fire reds start aging them joints gonna be hard to, 3s are one of the hand full of Mike’s that go crazy broken in and the Nike air on the back freak the whole aesthetic of the shoe
I just opened my White Cements today. I wasn't even going to buy them because I thought they were a bit boring compared to the Fire Reds which I love. But after seeing the Reimagined in-hand my god they are beautiful! They are my favorite now and I can see why people love them as they are so clean! They can be worn with a lot more outfits too. The Fire Reds are so much fun though so I am glad to own both! 😊
Fire Reds are way better in my opinion. I’m not a fan of the aging look on the “white” cement reimagined shoes. For $210, I don’t want my shoes to be pre-aged. That’s like a car dealership selling you a brand new car for MSRP and the paint is faded.
Those reimagined 3's are even going to look worse in the future, and you definately wouldn't want to wear those anymore. I'd rather get a white pair and age them myself.
Nike! smart for bringing sneakers out, with the whole vintage look, they knew that people didn't like, when there shoes turned that yellowish/off white color
I am happy I got the red and white 2023 and the white 2010 I put my right on the store hahah I am old school old head but the white is a little long and I they run small I am a size 8 have ti buy 8 1/2
I’ma white cement kinda guy. Love the crisp of the fire red but they executed the WC3 Perfect and I think they’ll still look good later idk could be wrong
I was looking for this. On point. I just got the fire reds from snipes website a few days ago. Had a quick restock but I like the pop with the fire reds. 🔥vid
I hate the reimagining concept. I still got a pair of the white cements and also fire reds. But I simply just want ny sneakers how they would look new. They’ll get yellow eventually so let me do it myself
I HAVE A PAIR OF THE OG'S THE ONES THEY PUT OUT IN 2017 THEY CALLED THEM THE HALL OF FAME RETRO'S WIT BLACK NIKE ON BACK AND THEY HAVE PURE WHITE AROUND WHERE THEY AGED THOSE I HAVE THEM FOR SELL ON OFFER UP FOR $250 STILL LOOK BRAND NEW BUT THE NIKE INSOLE WASN'T PUT ON THEM FOR SOME REASON 🤔
At the 0:43 mark about TH-camrs beating a sneaker for content, some have drop 7-8 videos on the reimagine 3s, it's becoming overkill...lol, I have both sneakers and like the White Cements better than the Fire Reds
to me the colorway on the reimagined is better but the leather quality and wear on the fire reds is better can I tell instantly wearing and feeling the reimagines they are not like when I wear the fire reds
Fire red all day
Fire red 3s are more og in my book, Jordan Brand screwed up by aging the white cement 3s when it never needed aging in the first place, smfh

Yeah after I did the video I was like “then againnnnnn” 😂😂😂 they both are great tho

I’ll be 49 in August, and I remember when the OG’s had come out. Both pairs are nice, but that vintage look steals the show.
Any OG 3 with nike on the heel is a perfect shoe in my book.
I like both. The cements can wear with anything damn near the 🔥 red's just look doper, cleaner and standout more and have more detail to them. I'll have to pick the 🔥 red's.

Fire Reds All Day! The red make the shoe
The white cement for sure!!
The Fire Reds hitting 🔥💯
I'd take fire red 8 out of 10 times
Them fire red 3’s just hit different both are dope shoes.
Great breakdown and comparison, I’m rockin wit the Cements.
💪🏽

Fire red 3s are better

Good comparison video bro. Your comparison videos are always on point👍😎. For me l would prefer the White Cements. Both shoes are clean though.
Fire Red have more pop 👊
What's funny is I did the same thing when I picked up my pair on Saturday. To me though I really do think it would depend on what mood I'm in at the time. I do have a lot of red in my wardrobe so I will probably end up wearing fire reds more.
You can still wear red with the white cements 🔥
You do the cleanest reviews.

My fire reds were more Crispy And the quality just felt better. Love both pairs tho

This dude needs to do voice overs and commercials. Voice is tough! Keep going bro!
Lmao a lot of people tell me that. Appreciate ya!
I have both but boy do I love the white cement 3s 🔥🔥 top 5 grail
Sitting here waiting by the window for fedex to drop off my pair 👌🏽 But dam yeah i didnt notice the upper leather is a different white ! Ima def compare my pair too my fire reds also, great content G peace
This was a dope review, because no one has done one like it.

Fire Red 3’s I wanted since I was a kid so it’s an easy pick over WC3s.
I think the fire reds look better but the white cements are more versatile.
Thanks for doing this. I wasn’t able to get the reimagined but like many here I guess, I managed to get the fire reds. So I wanted to decide how much I should chase the reimagined (I have bought a personal pair for resale yet)
You can find the reimagined for a decent price. Got my pair for $280, it's not retail but it's not terrible either for such a dope pair
At this point I’d take either. But putting one above the other. BUT if I were to compare… it’s the WC3 vs the BC3. BC3 over both these pairs.
With all the QC issues that the White Cements seem to have I'm not all that broken up about not hitting on them, seeing as how I also have 2 pairs of the Fire Reds.
Same here, after watching numerous TH-camrs complaining about almost every pair of wc3's had QC issues I was glad I didn't waste money on them. I have the fire red 3's and they are perfect. 👍
Mine just came in and no quality issue with mine thankfully
Had 4 pairs and not one of them had those issues.
Next month, do a Jordan 3 Wizards Vs the Cardinal 3's from last year?!? I did cop the Cardinal 3's but I also slept on how fire they are, until I took them out the box last week for the first time since I bought them. I hear the Wizard 3's are just as fire except the midsole is blue.
Both are great shoes I just hate the sockliner on the reimagined I guess it just depends on the fit as to which I would choose
That beat in the background is 🔥

I feel ya, but I want my crisp whites to remain crisp
Dope vid
7:10 fire red 4’s are the best ❤
Which has the most forgiving tumbled leather, I’m only going to get one and I really love my taxi Jordan 1 leather and hoping to find that same give
Fire Reds hands down! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love both shoes. The quality on the FRIII is way better than the reimagine IIIs
How so? How does the colorway change the quality?
@@Lee-ic2yn huh?? Ask Nike. My FRIII is softer and has more cushion whereas my Reimagine IIIs is flat and isn’t as soft 🤷🏽♂️
great video brutha

I had the black/cements in 88 but I always thought the cleanest out of 4 colorways of the Jordan 3!
Love them both happy I have 2 pairs of both for retail
Cool comparison… both are dope but I also would choose the re-imagined 3’s
Had to grab both regardless of which one I like more on these BEAUTS 😂
Both are 🔥🔥🔥! Didn’t win the Reimagine but hope they restock though!
Nike is probably not restocking these
I prefer the WC3s. I just don't like red lol. Only exception is the Black Toe 1s, my top 3 favorite Jordan 1s after the Royal's and Court Purple 1.0s
I think I love the gray hits on the fire reds
I got both that’s just dropped but I ain’t wear my cement 3s yet but I gotta take the cements can’t lie more cleaner
Good vid
Here 4 it ... 🕳💫🏌🏿♂️
Fire Red 3s my grail. loved this video
🙏🏽🙏🏽
White cements are more casual, however the fire reds are just more fire 🔥
Those reimagined 3's are even going to look worse in the future, and you definately wouldn't want to wear those anymore.
I'd rather get a white pair and age them myself.
Ima go with the reimagined all day ✅💯
Nike! smart for bringing sneakers out, with the whole vintage look, they knew that people didn't like, when there shoes turned that yellowish/off white color
I have both the red is to clean that re is just fye looks better with age
Fire red bro 😎
This is a hard one. I’m going to have to vote for both. Or maybe it’s bc I love the 3’s so much, I can’t choose.
Facts
You can wear the reimagined with anything . Love both though
I am happy I got the red and white 2023 and the white 2010 I put my right on the store hahah I am old school old head but the white is a little long and I they run small I am a size 8 have ti buy 8 1/2
I’ma white cement kinda guy. Love the crisp of the fire red but they executed the WC3 Perfect and I think they’ll still look good later idk could be wrong
Katrina 3 was one of my favorite 3s
The fire red's look way better the white cements are Just okay to be honest
Also I wonder if the cushioning around the ankle is thinner on the reimagined compared to the Fire Red.
For sure fire red 3s are more padded than the white cements. Noticeable on foot.
I was looking for this. On point. I just got the fire reds from snipes website a few days ago. Had a quick restock but I like the pop with the fire reds. 🔥vid
💪🏽
I hate the reimagining concept. I still got a pair of the white cements and also fire reds. But I simply just want ny sneakers how they would look new. They’ll get yellow eventually so let me do it myself
You think they will be revising the wc3 ua? Or the last batch would be the last batch?
Prob
I got both 💪🏾
You have the same speaking voice as LJ from Sevendust.
Finally someone gives an opinion I think fire reds are cleaner
I HAVE A PAIR OF THE OG'S THE ONES THEY PUT OUT IN 2017 THEY CALLED THEM THE HALL OF FAME RETRO'S WIT BLACK NIKE ON BACK AND THEY HAVE PURE WHITE AROUND WHERE THEY AGED THOSE I HAVE THEM FOR SELL ON OFFER UP FOR $250 STILL LOOK BRAND NEW BUT THE NIKE INSOLE WASN'T PUT ON THEM FOR SOME REASON 🤔
Came here from TikTok, need link to the plug
Definitely the Fire Red! Not feeling the worn look
The thing is , the toe part of the sole, is the first thing that turns yellow on 3s. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah I'm biased as I never really chased the 🔥🔴 so this is def a 1 sided win for the White Cement😎✌🏽️
At the 0:43 mark about TH-camrs beating a sneaker for content, some have drop 7-8 videos on the reimagine 3s, it's becoming overkill...lol, I have both sneakers and like the White Cements better than the Fire Reds
That’s what they do fam. They just do it to get the revenue. Don’t really be caring about sneakers
I struck out bro so you schooling me my guy , they look good still , I passed on them fire red’s cause I have them denim’s and they look similar
Bro stop what ur doing. Lol. Them denims are trash compared to fire reds.
to me the colorway on the reimagined is better but the leather quality and wear on the fire reds is better can I tell instantly wearing and feeling the reimagines they are not like when I wear the fire reds
3s look better as they age gracefully, like 1s… Tinker is the goat because nothing beats these silhouettes
Glad I don’t have to choose lol because I got both myself
Lmao big facts
Fire reds.
Fire reds for me
I have both pairs and the white cements look better in my opinion
i cut the tag off my reimagine 3s never was a tag guy
I like the reimagined better as well
Why do some 3s have the widows peek on the toe box?
Because widows peak or not don’t really matter. It’s just a mid point where the leather is cut for centering on the shoe
