I came for the 88 pair of ogs to see how they matched up with the reimagined & I knew they were close but I’m impressed with JB.. they got the shape right, elephant print is nice & new, ankle padding is thin, I’m loving the new pair better than the ogs cuz they’re just fresh with a similar look. Can’t say that about the l&f 1s
I love my pair to bits. They were the last ever pair at my nearest Foot Locker, possibly anywhere, so between these and the Wizards, I had to cop these first. Good thing too, because the Wizards 3s are sitting rn
i didn't realize it until i saw them next to each other in this video but they aged the wrong part on the 2023 pair lol. on the older pairs the part of the sole around the toe is more yellow than the mid sole but on the 2023 pair the mid sole is yellow and the toe part is completely white. my older pairs are all like that too.
Have you thought that perhaps the "Elephant print" is just like a fingerprint, as there are never two that are alike? Likewise, one will never find two elephants with the same skin. So, is that a difference or part of the uniqueness of differing characteristics?
I still have my original 1988 white “cement 3” from high school (which we just called “88’s” back then). I’ve never bought any retro or reimagine or whatever because they aren’t the same. For some reason, the elephant print around the two is way too thick or too high.
They literally slimmed that down over the years starting with the 22 fire reds. May not be EXACTLY like the OG’s but it’s clearly evident theyve been doing that. This comment would made more sense in like 2013
I bought some but they say jordan on the bottom of the shoe is it supposed to say Nike?? Can someone tell me if they’re fake or not?? I got them from finish line
Some of those 2018 pairs look like clown shoes. 🍌 At least my BC3s from 2018 have a pretty decent cut of elephant print on the toe box, had to go through a few pairs in stores while they were sitting to get em. Tbh, I dont understand why they just dont go on and make the toebox elephant print super thin like that first example
You know what's interesting, I was about to switch it up. I just left it and wanted to put this video out. If you're curious to know what song, Asap Rocky - R Cali
If you weren't around wearing a pair of original OGs than don't even compare or even complain about Nike. Because Nike Air is the best. No matter what. Even retro 3s were JBs.
Did you get a pair?
Indeed I did! They arrive in a couple or few days from Finish Line.
@@AllOutNoobHater Nice, congrats on the W!
Yes I copped a pair
W!
Doubled up and one for my son
Man these are just amazing! They killed it on the new 3 shape! There are no white cement 3s that matter now but they OG, 94 and the 2023.
Tbh, the 2023 is exactly on point with the ‘94 vs the ‘88 in my opinion.
literally was just gonna comment this…
Jordan’s back then had that plush feeling.
Right , retros now a days are so stiff feeling they take forever to break in
Seriously. Also that's the word I would describe most older/og jordans.
Gotta freaking dang near bend them.
Back when??? Cuz my 2013 fire red 3s are very plush. Feel like walking on clouds
Yes! Here for this!
My guy!
Hands down this has been a great journey being 46yrs old and honestly we rocked them and the elephant print no one cared but great tour🏆✍🏽✍🏽✅✅🥃🥃
Most def and I feel it. Thank you for watching!
Nice review.. Cool to see the older models. Yeah many are comparing w/ free throws and such. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and no problem!
great comparison of all the 3s 👌🏻 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍

Thanks for watching for sure!
Hella detailed and appreciated ✊🏾
Anytime, thanks for watching!

Good thing too, because the Wizards 3s are sitting rn
Why does it matter if the wizards are "sitting"?
@@Lee-ic2yncuz they cheaper if so
I trashed my 01 cements. Started working in them and it was over! Still got the box though. Nice review
i didn't realize it until i saw them next to each other in this video but they aged the wrong part on the 2023 pair lol. on the older pairs the part of the sole around the toe is more yellow than the mid sole but on the 2023 pair the mid sole is yellow and the toe part is completely white. my older pairs are all like that too.
Oh! Good eye, just saw that now. another thing to add for it
Yea idk why they would blow that part lol
Theyll get like that on there own 😂 just rock them
Bro ur camera movement is so smooth
Thank you for watching and noticing. Steady hands for sure helps haha.
The video I was waiting for
👌
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO 🔥
🙌 🙌
Recognize you from some old forums! Nice to see you on TH-cam
Yes sir! Thanks for watching!
Def 2023 pair is based off the 94 pair for sure
Regards everyone! Great vid! Thanks! Blessings!
Awesome review as always!
I try, thank you for watching and supporting!
Wish they would make the boxes smaller like the OG, would save more space for us and save more money for Nike lol
Hah. Even putting shoes away is so compact but I feel it at times.
Great review 👌🏼🔥
Thank you 🙌
Great content bro!! Always enjoying your videos. Keet at it bro.
Ayeeee right on Irvin, much love my guy!
Great vid dude but the background music is giving me anxiety lol
Haha i can see why. I was about to change it but I left it to out the video out. If you're curious, the song is ASAP Rocky - R Cali.
I had the 94’ and just copped the 23’ I’m 50/50 on the Agee looked. It’s basic and should’ve just went all white
Understandable like many. 94's are tough
Excellent video. I hate
The padding on the 2023, non existent.
How much would a brand new pair of 1994 white cements sz 9.5 sell for?
Have you thought that perhaps the "Elephant print" is just like a fingerprint, as there are never two that are alike? Likewise, one will never find two elephants with the same skin. So, is that a difference or part of the uniqueness of differing characteristics?
That is true. I believe they have a roll of elephant print materials and it should be that but also I believe shoes were from different factories.
must have in ur collection. 🔥
Long time in the making, thanks for watching!
The 2013 white cement 3 hard!!!!
Would be cool to own them.
Is the outsole of the 94 retro branded Nike or Jordan?
The outsole is Nike on the 1994 pair. I should've included that.
The 2003 pair doesn’t have a perforated tongue I just noticed it
Yeap, the more you just stare at the shoes, the more you start picking up little small details you overlook.
Seems like the reimagined pairs are the first retros. 1s look like the 94s and the 3s look like 94s
Fire bro!!!
Thanks 🔥
yeah we definitely need a BC3 release again.
In due time.

Might be a factory issue but you should be fine if it’s from Finishline really. You can always bring it back to exchange.
@@dunksrnice umm I forgot to mention that mine were grade school size
@@dunksrnice I heard that grade school are usually different from the adult sizes
Alright you’re making me going to get a pair ❤️
That's what I'm talking my guy!
The lil pokemon sound at the start is fire😂
banger!
Rolo “The OG” should be your second nickname bro. You have been relevant since “the nike talk” days.
Much appreciated, been doing for quite some time hah.
Pick up these or the craft 4s? The 4s are 50 bucks less
The 3’s for sure. Original colorways do better than newer colorways
shoe of the year!

Thanks for watching. Different factories, different materials provided basically.
Im still not feeling that aging color look on the bottom
Understandable as with many.
If the outter sole was a lil yellow
👀🤔
Good comparison. Background music is very annoying
You know what's interesting, I was about to switch it up. I just left it and wanted to put this video out. If you're curious to know what song, Asap Rocky - R Cali
Damn this shoe was retroed a lot
Bro got the gta v sound from franklins house
You put 2022 in the title and not 2023. Typo lol
lol thank you, fixed
If you weren't around wearing a pair of original OGs than don't even compare or even complain about Nike. Because Nike Air is the best. No matter what. Even retro 3s were JBs.
Don't care anything about Jumpman being compared to OG retro 1988s. Should not even be compared to Nike.
🏃🏻♂️✨
My guy! 🙏🙏
Not a true OG at all if the sole is swapped.
Of course it isn't, but with it being sole swapped, I was able to showcase it no problems.
2023 are 94’s not 88’s
🤔🤔
worst jordan of the year lol
2023 couple months in only. I highly doubt these are the worst Jordan of the year if hundreds/thousands copped.
Best old vs new comparison of shoes on YT🔥🫡
💯
I try. Thanks for watching!
The hype is lost on me. I don't and would never want a new shoe that looks old. Stupidest idea ever
Yeah that’s the debate on these as well.
height and thinness definitely has to do with aging. used up liner and used up tech.
Good observation. Most of these pairs (excluding the og 1988 pair) have been casually worn.
