Nobody was saying that in 2018. Y’all just want the new version to be so much better. Not with all them QC problems. 😂😂Glad I got a good 2024 pair. Most didn’t. 🤷🏾♂️
@@ShortChizel31 definitely was being said but not to the magnitude because it was the first time with Nike air in a long time . I gotta good pair as well 2 good pairs actually
@shortchizel31 I definitely was lol I went and returned my 2018 pair because of this exact reason they look like fake flea market Jordan’s shape and cement cut was wayyy off
2018 pair had that stiff leather like you said and the toe box looked like a boat. The 2024 pair is very well done and pretty true to the original. I’m happy with them.
2018 looks better and is stiffer since it has a very defined shape. 2024 is more easy on the feet and although it doesn’t look as good it makes up for it on the comfort department.
I’m actually a fan of the 2024 because of the leather being softer as well as less padding. I sold my 2018 pair a while back because I could not wear them for too long. So in terms of comfortability, the 2024 versions are my pick
The 2018 is so much more consistent especially with the elephant print and the leather looks better being tumbled. This new pair looks flimsy and thin. And the tongue on the 2018 is def higher up and i like that. Its very obvious.
Yall say yall want OG but when u get it yall complain. U do know the 2024 is closer to the OG than the 2018s right? The 24s weren't made to mimick the 18s. The leather cut, shape, elephant print, round ankle collar is all the 1988 model. So yall can't say yall want the OG if u want the bulky chunky version of it. Many of yall ain't even getting the shoe but yall looking nitpicking saying what u don't like about it rather than seeing how close they mimick the originals. If u look at the OGs the ankle collar is less padded round and slimmer as well. The leather isn't heavily tumbled it's has some tumbledness, but smooth as well and inconsistent too. The elephant is a grayer color as well just a tab bit darker than the 2024s. If u wanna know the bulky elephant print started in 94 but the print itself got more bolder in 2001 and been like that ever since. The 2018s is more like the 2001s if anything and the 2024s is the 88s
@hozezae29 damn bro it's only TH-cam...u care way too much what people say. I couldn't care less about anything u just wrote and I didn't make any comparisons to anything I simply said what I liked more. End of story
@bigsherm887 U right 100% I barely respond to anything but it was just something reading these comments that said say something. Literally everyone has become quality qualified experts. But I definitely feel u let them think what they think
6 years ago at $200 retail I copped 2 pairs rocked one & sold the other pair for $500 Now in 2024 at $220 I copped 4 pairs - plan to keep all 4 pairs they are so nice. I need a fresh pair in my rotation - to me these are the sneaker of the year in 2024! After getting a non-defective 2024 BC3 I have to change my mind : the leather is much softer and much more comfortable than 2024 pair. 2018>2024 better elephant print, but the shape, tongue and comfort is much better in 2024. Good review JMK- please review the Columbia 11's
Ngl I prefer the more padded look, feel like the new 3s shape is just a little bit too thin now. But question for those who were around for these type releases before 2020, was the quality genuinely better than now? Like the bc3s and those holiday 11s? I think them being 220 back then was more worth it than now…
I feel like it depends on the model. If they were OG colorways, the quality condition were slightly superior than the random color ways that they came up with along the way. Im pleased with the quality of the current releases of the white cements, fire red, etc. I’m personally not a huge fan of how my 2018 black cements felt. They feel clunky. Hoping the 2024 is different.
I still have my 2018 pair, and they still look good, but I'm picking these up tomorrow because I won 🏆 3 pairs from footlocker, Hibbet, and DTLR, but may pock only 2 up
I hit on Footlocker and Champs like 4x and I NEVER hit on footsites like that…resellers aren’t going for them because the money isn’t there so they are easy to hit
Same here. I won 🏆 my 3 raffles at the stores, and I'm here in Dallas, TX, too and I may pick up 2, and I still have my 2018 pair, and they still look good
I think the 24s look noticeably cheaper than the 18s. It doesn’t make sense that prices go up but the value goes down. It’s just price gouging at this point.
I like the tumbled leather on the 18 but my pair ran small on my feet. I didn’t wear them much and they turned yellow on me. My 2011 crumbled after not much wear but didn’t really turn yellow.
The one pair i have so far is exactly two looks. My right shoe is completely smooth and the left very tumbled. So weird. I dunno about the sizing either, im a 9 but the feel a bit narrow
When u wear them the leather change once it start to bend. I wore mines for a day and the leather was smooth when i put them on then it started to crease and the leather started looking better.
If you got medium width or ee wide feet id go half a size up or full size. I normally wear 10 and my fire reds fit perf but i have other 3s in my collection that dont fit the same. They were only slightly narrower like the desert elephants, and they are pretty snug.
@@JimmyKantstandyabitzNah it dont probably is more like the original though. The 94 pair had black print i believe. Still said nike of course. Thats probably my favorite year. Its been black and looked like that 94 pair ever since for a reason because it straight up is just more appealing. These really do look like the 88 pair the shorter weird looking tounge and everything. Which i find cool. This is the true og release. As i made this comment the shoe just realeased too lol. Like 20 notifications popped up on my phone from my shoe app

The 24 is decent but the only bad thing about them and the wcm is the leather is paper thin..they age like straight shit..I have worn the wcm like 5 times and they look they I’ve worn them for 15 years. The 2018 is just superior besides the tongue
If you think the 24 > 18 you must not own both. The og elephant print is lighter on the original pair but I prefer the heavier print. The 24 pair looks elephant print looks like it will fall off like dandruff. The 24 pair material is just cheaper I'm always for progression of materials even if it's not og bc price only rising so why not have better/durable quality
2018 was just the incorrect version of what we were supposed to have. 24s leather feels like less polyurethane coatings was applied
18 was very bulky looking the 22 fire red is the first time that shape came back on 3’s

2018 looks better but the 2024 are a lot more comfortable. They kind of sort of feel like Sb dunks in the 2018 version
I’m 💯 percent satisfied with my 2024 I had to double up
I prefer the 2018 pair. More padding is a plus for me.
18 look like work boots. 24 looks closer to OG. Im riding wit OG always
Definitely the worse print. I laugh when people say it’s just like the 1988 pair. No it’s not. 😂😂😂
@@ShortChizel31like why is it so light. This video just opened my eyes. I just bought them but now I have to go and buy the 2018 pair lol
Same OG’s for me as well 🔥
2018 pair had that stiff leather like you said and the toe box looked like a boat. The 2024 pair is very well done and pretty true to the original. I’m happy with them.
How’d you keep the toe from yellowing on the 2018 pair? That’s the only problem with mines
I yellowed out the entire midsole looks fire 🔥
2018 looks better and is stiffer since it has a very defined shape.
2024 is more easy on the feet and although it doesn’t look as good it makes up for it on the comfort department.
well said SOFT like OLD Mike Tyson cheeks
looks like a lot of pairs everywhere
If you got medium width or wide feet like 2ee go half a size up. Otherwise they will be super snug on the mid foot and pinky toe.
I’m satisfied with the 2024 pair
Which ones are better to ball in though
I’m actually a fan of the 2024 because of the leather being softer as well as less padding. I sold my 2018 pair a while back because I could not wear them for too long. So in terms of comfortability, the 2024 versions are my pick

@@hozezae291000000%. I’m doubling up on release day (tmrw as of this writing)
The low profile elephant print and butter soft leather on the 2024 pair is clutch!
the reimagined white cements are starting to look like the superior one i’ve seen the black cements so many times
Should’ve compared it to the Fire Red 3s from 2022.

So happy I went half size down like reimagined. Now if it was like old school j 4s pinky toe killer then instant TTS.
So they are just like reimagined WC3s those really fit big
Thought it was just me that felt that Jordan’s hurt my pinky’s lol
Reimagined 3 was tts...reimagined 4 is 0.5 up...do you even know what your foot size measurement is 😂
Everybody got fooled by 2018 print but that shit is over saturated not my cement3's glad simplified subtitles have returned 🎉......

I’ve been having to go up half a size in most Nike / Jordan’s they make the toe boxes so slim like we’re some ballerina or figure skaters.
Light Elephant print is NICE!! Yall been over exposed to that black in print
I’m rocking with the 2018 pair better elephant print simple. 2024 has a better shape tho.
When u wear them the leather change once it start to bend. I wore mines for a day and the leather was smooth when i put them on then it started to crease and the leather started looking better.
Is the sizing same as the j3 archaeo brown?
The bc3’s are a retro of the 1994 bro the white ones were a reimagined of the 88s man
Do they fit like the fear 3’s ?
these are sitting in the uk , great times to buy what you like..
Same everywhere, its nice shoes its just retail is too high thats y its sitting
Really?! they sold out in San Francisco
@@abdulaliakbar1175lol San Francisco? You can just buy them online from any major retailer though?
Sold out in my city

Double up, had 2?of the 2018’s as well
Dope review
Easy double up! Up I can’t wait for romorrow
What if you have a wide foot
If you got medium width or ee wide feet id go half a size up or full size. I normally wear 10 and my fire reds fit perf but i have other 3s in my collection that dont fit the same. They were only slightly narrower like the desert elephants, and they are pretty snug.

How you wear those for years and keep the toe from yellowing??
Why is the elephant print strip on the toe so thin, and it tapers weird onto the side...
I like them both
There both good(24 kinda better😬)There both good(18 kinda SBish)There both good
I guess Nike accepted the 25% off code because the 2024’s have about 25 % less materials lol

Mine are the same far as fit. Wear a 11 in 4's but could wear a 10.5 with these no problem.

Lol only person to like the 2018 over the 2024. 😅
220k stock supposedly
