The white paint and glue on my shock drop pair was one of the worst pairs I’ve ever received I was pretty disappointed. You’d think the focus on the “og” build would also mean producing a quality product.
I like the dark elephant print better on the black pair and the light elephant print on the white reimagined pairs. The dark elephant print goes better with the black. I am glad that they kept the midsole white and didn't hit us with the played out vintage midsole
Just the tumbled leather on the 2018 pair makes them better. The elephant print on the 2018 pair being darker is a bonus too. Overall I feel many 2021-2022 releases started having much lower quality of leather… 2023 and 2024 releases got even worse. As the shoes got easier to cop, the quality decreased… can’t be a coincidence fam. They got greedy, making too many shoes and too many releases
This is the absolute truth. All them Jordan’s that come out 2000-2016. Had superior quality compared to the ones releasing now. Every big company in the whole wide world find ways to make the same product cheaper so they can save money. Jordan brand no different
One of my pairs was uneven cut and had bit of silvering on black black heel. Also one of my toe box has like a rough chip in center 😫😫😫could prob sand out but letting Nike deal w all THAT
I’m shocked how good my pair is. They’re neck and neck with the 2018 but with a better shape. In person they’re 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Don’t let nobody gas you not to cop! My shock drop pair is A-1
Yeah a lot of TH-camrs are gassing people up just to make content and they stand in front of the camera with a flawless pair talking about quality control. Just get a real job already
Got mine and had 2 defects on the left shoe in particular. Mass produced shoes= defects. That elephant print is definitely different on each shoe also. Not 100 % happy but still will rock em.
Got mine today. The “Nike Air” is off center on the back of the right shoe, stitching is bad and the toe box leather is wrinkled. On the left, Nike Air is centered and toe box leather is smooth. They are going back.
I noticed on some pairs there are small white specks on the black part of the midsole, don’t know if it’s paint or the clear coat but definitely noticeable if you look really close
Are these Jordans narrow and snug? I'm between size 8 and 8.5, which one should I buy? I wear 8 in dunks and high Jordan 1s, but 8.5 in Air max plus and Air max 97 silver bullet
My pair has the tongues completely messed up. One is so small it looks like it’s meant for another size of shoe and both jumpmen are noticeably different sizes. Crazy to me, anybody else had the same?
@ when you do, check them next to the reimagined… also, look at the back tab, the tab has rainbow flakes… No ones really talking about these two factors. If the tongue was like the reimagined, they would’ve knocked it out to MARS! LOL
I got 2 pairs on the way. I coulda had THREE but didn’t confirm my raffles wins on time….so I actually hit on 5 pairs!!!! Hopefully I can get a solid pair. The goal was 3 pairs to mix and match left and right to get ONE solid pair. Disappointing drop of an OG. OVERSTOCKED, and terrible Quality…. Welp! On to the next drop
My sons came in with the same scuff on the back. The leather look flatter then mine. They also don’t have the widows peak? Is that normal for youth sizes?
@ yeah. The midsoles are creased already, there was a few flaws on the paint like needle size bumps of paint, one spot the glue is a lil extra crazy, and I can’t find if it’s supposed to be like that or not but the suede toe cap is longer on one side next to the sharkfin
No issue with my pair from the shock drop… also my wife pair came flawless as well….collection 3 complete fire red, white cements and black cement. Also my elephant print is dark and all matching as well… thanks Nike.
My size 14 S.D. pair came in today *(Beat The Final Boss) I gave them a once over and they are good. Said after picking up my double up of the AMM 3's W.Y.W.S I'd be cool with getting one pair of BC3's (would be first time owning) but might try to retail double up!!!
I just got mines yesterday from the shock drop and I can agree with you on having defects. They are not bad at all but it’s most definitely some defects. Mainly loose threads on the first two eye lace holes but I’m thankful I’m gone double up🫡🫡💪🏾
One shoe, the tumbling is like the 2018 pair and one shoe the tumbling is like the 2024 pair on my shoes. The elephant print isn't bad on my pair. The A ma maniere Jordan 3's had worse QC
My S.D. pair was immaculate as well! And came SUPER FAST!! Hey anybody got any news on whether StockX customers are taking any action after this weekend’s news?
2022 I pulled the trigger on my grail shoe black cement 3 off goat paid around 8 hundred dollars and when I received the shoe I wasn’t pleased I had never seen the shoe in had but right off rip I knew it wasn’t Og like stated on the box I was 6 when that shoe came out and that was my grail never owned it so when I got it I wore the shoe a few times and put it up then Nike released fire red 3 now that shoe took me straight back to the 80 this Jordan bc3 is the closest ever way better than 2018 in Chicago we call the 2018 elf shoe but the real fact is the reimagined is the best of all aj3.
I realize the more you stare at these cement 3s is the more flaws you'll notice and surprise flaws will pop up the next day even after looking at it for hours from the day before, it's to the point where you're questioning your sanity 😂😂😂
Quality maybe off, but the 18s go super hard! Although, personally i believe the 24s are more my style. I think the younger generations of styling the 18s are accustomed to that shoe because the brain has been conditioned to that particular look.
If Nike had used the same elephant print from the 2018s but gave us the same cut on the 2024s, then it would be, in everybody’s perspective a fantastic shoe...but everbody wants to complain. NOT MEEEEEE!!! I don't even have a pair of Black Cement 3s. This will be my first pair, I'm not going to complain. I'll be lucky if I even hit on Foot Locker, let alone on SNKRS for this shoe. Light elephant print or not, I...NEED...THIS...SHOE!!! If you don't like the elephant print then don't get the shoe. That simple, don't buy the shoe & than whine because it's not what you wanted. Not you Devintage. Ik you not complaining
How can so many people out of a small group responding to comments on a vid ALL report many examples of low quality?! 😮 Nike and JB… please do better! This was supposed to be one of the most important releases this year. Now I am not too disappointed that I took the L on the shock drop LOL
There is no way the 2018 pair has better leather. The tumble on them is fake it’s literally pressed on and it’s stiff from all the plastic on top of it. The 2024 is softer because it doesn’t have pressed on tumble and doesn’t have the plastic layer over it. 2018 pair is straight cheeeeeeeeeeeecks lol
I would be pissed I hit on shock drop mine didn’t come with that card which might be petty but to me as much as they cost should have been in the box to me I don’t wear mine so that is part of the shoe now I have to order the little booklet for 30 extra dollars to get the card booklet whatever you call it to go with mine come on Nike get it together
2024 BC better simply because they closer to the OG’s. Ya’ll were doing the same thing to the MB 4’s whining about the blue being to dark. OG’s will always be better than alternate versions.
Bruh mine from the shock drop was FLAWLESS!!!
Niceeee 😎
Mine, too 💪🏾🖤
Mines too. And I have GS sizing which people say is always bad. I had zero flaws
@@luvlife2355 Same i got a 3Y and they was Gucci
Same here
Nike said “eff y’all. You ninjas gonna cop anyway” 😂😂
And sadly did ):
I mean…..
Got mine today too. My first pair of BC3’s ever. NO COMPLAINTS. GRATEFUL! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
That’s what I’m talking about!🔥
I’m about to be you on Saturday too!
Me too!! Well I pick up on Saturday. Look at us, hard working adults buying the shoes our parents never got for us 😂😂😂
@@h0n0rreb3l6 LMAOOO HELL YESS!!!
Mines will be in the mail tomorrow. Can’t wait!
New ones look better in my opinion now the quality control is a whole different situation 🤦🏽♂️
Yeah I agree
Mine was delivered today from the shock drop. I like mine!!
I’m glad to hear that bro🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Mine went back reasons:
1. Stiching was off both shoes
2. Left toe box was skinny and off
3. Leather was different on both shoes
Dang man that’s wild
You sent them back to Nike or the store ?
@sergeynazaro1768 back to the warehouse they came from ups
Got mine today and I can see Nike put no love in quality.
Quality was cheap on these. Love the OG shape though.
They could’ve got the AMM 3 leather
The white paint and glue on my shock drop pair was one of the worst pairs I’ve ever received I was pretty disappointed. You’d think the focus on the “og” build would also mean producing a quality product.
I know the feeling man! Qc is crazy sometimes
I like the dark elephant print better on the black pair and the light elephant print on the white reimagined pairs. The dark elephant print goes better with the black. I am glad that they kept the midsole white and didn't hit us with the played out vintage midsole

This is the absolute truth. All them Jordan’s that come out 2000-2016. Had superior quality compared to the ones releasing now. Every big company in the whole wide world find ways to make the same product cheaper so they can save money. Jordan brand no different
Mine came messed up, chipped paint and one of the tongues is wavy with the red sticking up past the grey part of the tongue.
Holy 🤦🏾♂️
Got mine from the shock drop today and the elephant on the toe; the actual cut of the material is uneven as fk between the 2 sneakers.. pisses me off.
Yeah it’s very crazy
One of my pairs was uneven cut and had bit of silvering on black black heel. Also one of my toe box has like a rough chip in center 😫😫😫could prob sand out but letting Nike deal w all THAT
I’m shocked how good my pair is. They’re neck and neck with the 2018 but with a better shape. In person they’re 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Don’t let nobody gas you not to cop! My shock drop pair is A-1
I’m glad you’re pair came A1
I got 2 pairs on the shock drop and they both A1
Yeah a lot of TH-camrs are gassing people up just to make content and they stand in front of the camera with a flawless pair talking about quality control. Just get a real job already
@ dude my pair isn’t flawless. Either watch or not.. this video ain’t about me fool
@ pop another steroid and wipe that Vaseline off ur lips
My olive 9s were terrible. Had glue stains all over the place. Had to return them
Sheeesh
Lengend blues are my next ones to end the year!for me it is the sneaker of the year for me personally🔥
Double up
Oddly enough I just make my own decisions
🫡
Leather is better on the 2024 for sure. Less bulky also.
Def less bulky
I agree. Tumbled leather isn't actually always better quality. You would need to slice it up to see the thickness of each to make a determination.
Got mine and had 2 defects on the left shoe in particular. Mass produced shoes= defects. That elephant print is definitely different on each shoe also. Not 100 % happy but still will rock em.
Yeah mass produced comes with flaws
Got mine today. The “Nike Air” is off center on the back of the right shoe, stitching is bad and the toe box leather is wrinkled. On the left, Nike Air is centered and toe box leather is smooth. They are going back.
Yikes, I hope you get a better pair on release day
The grey part where the laces connect were lopsided on mine, one had 4 dots the other had 5
That dark elephant print go crazy
I feel the same way
Thats exactly why i hate shock drop because they will literally shock you when you get your pair in hand
😂😂😂 facts
I noticed on some pairs there are small white specks on the black part of the midsole, don’t know if it’s paint or the clear coat but definitely noticeable if you look really close
Had to return mine, the grey were the laces connect were lopsided, one had 4 dots the other had 5 lol
The leather on mine feel like Saran Wrap, real thin and cheap. Almost feel like they’re fake
My 2018 pair, the leather, was full of glitter. It wiped off but would come right back. I sold them joints when I heard these were dropping.
Mine just came in today and I love them 🔥no complaints from me!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 glad to hear fam
Got my shock drop pair in today and they were magnificent absolutely perfect 👌🏿 not flaws none whatsoever 😮🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏾😬🔥🔥🔥
Got my shock drop pair yesterday and noticed 3 little flaws
🤦🏾♂️ a lot of folks been saying the same thing
That's why I don't do shock drops. I want to see mine in hand at the store because then u can get a good pair
Smart man
@DEVINTAGE yea I be wanna hit on the shock drop but. I always get mine from the store
You’re 2018 pair is still fresh! I didn’t know you were passing on the 2024 BC3 though. 2025 gotta a lot of heat
Are these Jordans narrow and snug? I'm between size 8 and 8.5, which one should I buy? I wear 8 in dunks and high Jordan 1s, but 8.5 in Air max plus and Air max 97 silver bullet
My pair has the tongues completely messed up. One is so small it looks like it’s meant for another size of shoe and both jumpmen are noticeably different sizes. Crazy to me, anybody else had the same?
I have an inch long scratch on my toe box leather so yeah fuck this..
The only thing that’s off about these, especially if they were going true to the OG, the tongue is way too small!!!
I need to check the tongue on the pair I have
@ when you do, check them next to the reimagined… also, look at the back tab, the tab has rainbow flakes… No ones really talking about these two factors. If the tongue was like the reimagined, they would’ve knocked it out to MARS! LOL
Those 11’s bro is straight 🔥 🔥 🔥 my UNC sweatshirt will go crazy with those. Definitely will be looking g to copping those.
You know what I’m saying!
Legend Blue 11’s are nice but the patent leather toe is thin, gonna crease like crazy😩
Yeah they def gone crease easilyyy
not happy with the lighter print on the left sneaker but whatever...
Same bro
I got 2 pairs on the way. I coulda had THREE but didn’t confirm my raffles wins on time….so I actually hit on 5 pairs!!!!
Hopefully I can get a solid pair. The goal was 3 pairs to mix and match left and right to get ONE solid pair.
Disappointing drop of an OG. OVERSTOCKED, and terrible Quality…. Welp!
On to the next drop
Sheeesh you was cooking pairs bro
2024 looks way better they’re way slimmer and I like the light print looks cleaner. I’m doubling up!
🔥
Mine are flawless minus the paint strokes… The elephant print is old school print! I love it
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
mine from the shock drop came with elephant prints of DIFFERENT HEIGHTS on the shoes!! SMH
What in the world
My sons came in with the same scuff on the back. The leather look flatter then mine. They also don’t have the widows peak? Is that normal for youth sizes?
My black toe 14s from early in the month are pretty heavily flawed.
Really! That’s crazy
@ yeah. The midsoles are creased already, there was a few flaws on the paint like needle size bumps of paint, one spot the glue is a lil extra crazy, and I can’t find if it’s supposed to be like that or not but the suede toe cap is longer on one side next to the sharkfin
My 14s are perfect had to return my 3s tho smh
Got my pair today one little flaw I saw was a little glue stain on the back other than that they fire tho.
That’s good to hear fam
No issue with my pair from the shock drop… also my wife pair came flawless as well….collection 3 complete fire red, white cements and black cement. Also my elephant print is dark and all matching as well… thanks Nike.
Glad to hear that! That’s dope mane
I know it’s not normal but you should review the Kobe 6 Grinch football cleats that come out Saturday
Yeah those look nice
My size 14 S.D. pair came in today *(Beat The Final Boss)
I gave them a once over and they are good.
Said after picking up my double up of the AMM 3's W.Y.W.S I'd be cool with getting one pair of BC3's (would be first time owning) but might try to retail double up!!!
I feel you man, double up is always a good choice 🙏🏾🙏🏾 depending on how much you will be wearing a pair
I just got mines yesterday from the shock drop and I can agree with you on having defects. They are not bad at all but it’s most definitely some defects. Mainly loose threads on the first two eye lace holes but I’m thankful I’m gone double up🫡🫡💪🏾
Yes a lot of folks gone be doubling up
Mines came defected as well, my right shoe was curved
What in the world
I got mine today and it was scratched from the back paint off too
Sheeesh
Glue all over my left shoe. Shock drop pair.
Dang man 🤦🏾♂️
peeped that big scuff pair was on GS ....... LOL they gotta hold that
And some men’s pairs
One shoe, the tumbling is like the 2018 pair and one shoe the tumbling is like the 2024 pair on my shoes. The elephant print isn't bad on my pair. The A ma maniere Jordan 3's had worse QC
My AMM 3s were perfect
My S.D. pair was immaculate as well! And came SUPER FAST!! Hey anybody got any news on whether StockX customers are taking any action after this weekend’s news?
Shidddd I’m trying to take action myself
Had a random drop of white paint on the leather on my pair where the arch of my foot is 😢
Not too big of a deal but still c’mon….
Mine had a foot in them when they arrived plus one was more tumbled than the other 😩
I got my pair today and no issues at all but I am going to double up and I always check my pair in store I’m just picky like that
🙏🏾🙏🏾
2018 pair way better leather quality than the 2024’s. I agree with u bro.
💯
Got mine today. I love them 😍🥰 I don't even want to put them on 😅
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
2022 I pulled the trigger on my grail shoe black cement 3 off goat paid around 8 hundred dollars and when I received the shoe I wasn’t pleased I had never seen the shoe in had but right off rip I knew it wasn’t Og like stated on the box I was 6 when that shoe came out and that was my grail never owned it so when I got it I wore the shoe a few times and put it up then Nike released fire red 3 now that shoe took me straight back to the 80 this Jordan bc3 is the closest ever way better than 2018 in Chicago we call the 2018 elf shoe but the real fact is the reimagined is the best of all aj3.
Yeah these joints are closest to the OG
Same, got my shock drops today and they were perfect 🤘🏻
Niceeee!
My shock drop pair is 🔥🔥🔥 ,, literally flawless 💯
Nice glad to hear
I got mine from shock drop yesterday and they stupid clean no flaws
That’s good to hear fam!!!
I realize the more you stare at these cement 3s is the more flaws you'll notice and surprise flaws will pop up the next day even after looking at it for hours from the day before, it's to the point where you're questioning your sanity 😂😂😂
Hopefully can lock in good pair on Saturday and return defected pair to local Nike or resell
Good luck on Saturday
@@DEVINTAGE thank you! Hit on JD Sports/FL EA. Will be checking pairs when I pick up.
I’m just so impatient I cannot wait. To go buy my pair on the 23rd.
It be like that fam lol
Got my sd pair yesterday and my pair's elephant print is really good, but glue stains meh but idc i already wore em today
I heard some folks are having issues with theirs, but glad you got a decent pair!
@@DEVINTAGE better than my reimagined wc3s lol janky af, elephant print all different 😂
Quality maybe off, but the 18s go super hard! Although, personally i believe the 24s are more my style. I think the younger generations of styling the 18s are accustomed to that shoe because the brain has been conditioned to that particular look.
Yeah the older ones are 🔥

I feel you on the elephant print bruh
2018 no question, the elephant print alone 🤦🏽♂️ I don’t got 18’s so I gotta get 24’s
I hated the 2018 pair, they feel and look like some replicas 2024 wayyyy better
😂😂😂
If I can, it’s in store pick up when it comes to Mikes.
Yes for sure
2018 is go for materials alone-period!
Shock drop arrived today. Chef’s kiss, perfect! 🔥🔥🔥 pair.
Enjoy!
Just got mine from the shock drop. Flawless.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mine came just fine
That’s good 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ngl the 2024 version my favorite, my pair is flawless
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Doubled up. One pair is straight. The second pair are jacked up and deformed. They gotta go back. Glad I doubled up. At least one pair is solid.
i just doubled up on mines today no issues
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
How can so many people out of a small group responding to comments on a vid ALL report many examples of low quality?! 😮 Nike and JB… please do better! This was supposed to be one of the most important releases this year. Now I am not too disappointed that I took the L on the shock drop LOL
Yeah the pairs are a little crazy man
2024 leather like butter won’t crease easy like 2018 …24 is better 🔥🔥
My 2018s ain’t crease at all
The leather on the 2018 pair looked fake.
Whattttt lol
After legend 11s I’m done for the year…
GAMMA’S ALL DAY. The Legion Blue outsole oxidizes too quickly!
I’m indifferent fam lol
Mine are perfect as well just came in yesterday from the shock drop
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 awesome
My shits came defected from shock drop 😫😫
Yikes bruh
I have to pass on these I’m waiting on those black cats
Here… LOL, you pretty much said you’re not getting these, but in the other video you said you needed them…. Am I trippin… LMAOFF
What other video you talking about bruh?
There is no way the 2018 pair has better leather. The tumble on them is fake it’s literally pressed on and it’s stiff from all the plastic on top of it. The 2024 is softer because it doesn’t have pressed on tumble and doesn’t have the plastic layer over it. 2018 pair is straight cheeeeeeeeeeeecks lol
I would be pissed I hit on shock drop mine didn’t come with that card which might be petty but to me as much as they cost should have been in the box to me I don’t wear mine so that is part of the shoe now I have to order the little booklet for 30 extra dollars to get the card booklet whatever you call it to go with mine come on Nike get it together
Yeah, I’m surprised they didn’t include the card this time around.
2024 BC better simply because they closer to the OG’s. Ya’ll were doing the same thing to the MB 4’s whining about the blue being to dark. OG’s will always be better than alternate versions.
Yes I agree
Unpopular opinion, I much rather see them gamma 12s over 11s fasho🤷🏾
I'm a shape guy, I have to go with the 2024s.
I feel that bro
I’m a pass on the legend blue. Gamma all day! Do you homie!
Gammas still clean imo
My pair was flawless. But I seen some messed up pairs
Yeah I seen some crazy pairs
My pair A1 size 12 and my fear 4s good too size 12.5
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank God i didn’t hit on the shockdrop then lol hoping it’s a smooth drop
🤦🏾♂️ lol...
I’m sure there isn’t going to be too many problems
C'mon y'all. This was the same story with the reimagined white cements and them joints is flying high on the resell market lmfao
Quality better on the 2018, the cut better on 2024 idk lol
Agreed
@ i think i rather the 2024 pair tho. That cement cut on the toe box of the 2018s is lw nasty lol 🤷🏿♂️ hoping to get a good pair this Saturday
Naw ,I went to 3 diff stores and the Quality of all were trash 🗑 they looked like Cheap knockoffs...Still rocking the Retro 2018s
