@@williamfinucane they are so nice. I only had to buy one pair and they are perfect 👌 white cements black cements i had to buy 3 and 4 pair to get 1 pair i was happy with. Love my fire red 3s though so much thinking about getting another pair cause I wear mine so much but after 2 years they still look great actually better then when they were new the leather looks so good with wear
Great video! I agree, the toe box on the right shoe is the same on my pair. Overall I’m very pleased with this release and glad everyone who wanted a pair could cop.
Fully agree and glad you mentioned the Air Tech Challenge 2's - so underrated. Where I live, they're still available in most sizes. Those, the black cement 3's, and the military blue 4's have been my best pickups of the year
@b3asle551 cool man, yeah the military 4s are nice too. They just have some work to do as far as shape is concerned and overall cut. Solid retro though!
@@ejilla04 i had a few shoes that were really oddly bent or creased. One shoe the elephant 🐘 print on toe was so far of centered kinda like og pair here but worse. The left and right i kept are dang near perfect I'm super happy but crazy I had to buy 3 pair to get there. Same with the white cement 3s I believe it took me 4 pair on those. Yes I'm picky and have ocd but man when you pay 240 for some kicks i want them to be quality
This, especially compared to my 2018 (those were brick hard). My 2013 Fire Reds polyurethane is also softer compared to the 2018s. So happy that these are comfortable.
Damn that is such a nice shoe, the leather looks so much better on these and the cuts of the leather being way thicker when you line em all up with the heel showing. Hope the 4s get another fix but these are perfect apart from the elephant print.
2022 Fire Red, 2023 White Cement, 2024 Black Cement, why the hell aren’t we getting True Blue’s in 2025?!? Brian of SneakerFiles says there’s basically zero chance we get them next year. I really hope they didn’t think they gave them to us in the form of the Wizard 3’s. Perfect TB’s with dark elephant print, super short around the toes, supple white leather, and the new silhouette would probably be my favorite retro ever.
@ sooooo long from now! However, I counted every shoe that we know are coming out next year that I would get. Which is 31. So, I guess all of those will have to hold me over lol
Tbh I thought the shoe game was over because of these resellers but I like what Jordan Brand is doing by flooding us with heat so we can get our hands on whatever, I had to double up on the black cement 3s, thats mandatory
I had to return and exchange several pairs yesterday because my elephant print lines was completely faded, scratched off, or the black leather had long scratch marks where it ran a blade on its side 🤦♂️
Did you really wear those Fire reds? They look DS! 10/10 for me, I doubled up on all the colors, need the true blues to come back in this shape/quality, double up worthy!
2022 Fire Red is another masterpiece. I think the 3s The PE from 88 All-Star game midsole looks Sail out of box if the pics are accurate are Sail Summit White. Do you have a recommendation for 3rd party insole ?
You have one of the best pairs I've seen, mine are almost like yours.. but the very low 🐘 print in the front, the toe area is flat, arrow dynamic type where the toe area isn't popping up like a curly frie..
I’m not a judgmental person and understand everybody’s journey in sneakers is different, but everybody that said ‘18 was better…I start looking at them differently. 😂

1 thing i dont get. people are argueing about the boldness of the EP. i am more concerend about the shape/height. in my opinion it is still too much/high. the lower cut looks more OG to me. 2011 era was the wildest in that regard.
