I think a lot of people are thinking me comparing the 2024 to the 2018 is saying the 2018 is the Golden Standard. I’m simply comparing the 2024 vs the last release which is the 2018. The 2024 is clearly closer to the OG I still feel it is always important to compare a shoe vs its LAST release to see if there is improvement from the brands end. Price, Quality, Craftsmanship yes a shoe can be closer to the OG but it doesn’t always means the price or the quality has progressed. That is the point of comparing models with their previous release is to see has Jordan brand been upping the quality or decreasing or being stagnant? The 2018 pair cost $200 the 2024 pair cost $220. Is there an increase in quality with the $20 increase ? That is what I’m comparing.
Everyone knows what you’re saying, don’t gotta explain yourself, thanks for staying 100!! Can always rely on your videos to give me an honest, unbiased opinion.
@@ToNYD2WiLD IMO, quality is much better on the 24 pair. The 18 is what it is. It’s a classic, but the new shape, softer, more realistic leather of the 24 pair takes the cake for me.
Love the less bulky shape, lighter,lower elephant print around the toe, and less pebbled leather on 2024 pair. Love the sleek design but not the price.
My left shoe of my 2018 pair have been in a display case since 2020 because a thief stole my right shoe... this is my favorite retro 3 colorway, It's only been 6 years, and I'm super happy to welcome these back.
I got these. Very comfortable. The polyurethane midsole is much softer than the 2018 release. Leather is clean and surprisingly soft. Definitely getting another pair within a year or two. The 2020 Fire Red's, re-imagined WC3, and these remastered BC3's are the best Jordan 3's I've seen since 1988-89. And I had the original Fire Red's in '89 I was in the 3rd grade. Really anticipating a remastered Tru Blue Jordan 3.
I’m not comparing them to the 18s as if the 18s are the gold standard I’m just showing what is different from this pair to the last pair that released which I think is important. No one has 88s laying around and I clearly state these are more in line with the original
These will be my first ever pair of Jordan 3 black cements. Didn't get em on the shock drop so hopefully I'll get a pair on release day. Definitely a 🔥pair.
The elephant print is SO light and looks almost tan on my pair. On your pairs, its also very noticeable. I def. like the darker print on '18 way more than the lighter on '24.
I can’t remember who said it but one of the other sneaker channels said the 2018s are almost like an SB version of these updated 2024s. As a skater/sneakerhead myself, I’d actually be pretty stoked to see something like that. 👀 *cough cough Jordan brand*
These are 🔥 My pair arrived yesterday, I’m so glad all the re-selling hype is dead and the people actually buying these to wear can get them for retail
I just won 3 pairs. 1 from Champs & the other 2 from footlocker. I’m not even a reseller but if they go up in price I’m definitely flippin two of them. All size 13. I’m hyped picking up tomorrow!!!
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
Depending on when you are referring to back in the day they cost WAY less if these were $120 then no problem. But now you are spending double what you paid before yes people will critique more.
I know what you mean now about the sizing. This pair is like a centimeter smaller than my fire red pair from 2022. It’s kinda weird, not like significantly smaller but it is a tiny bit smaller. They must be using a different lass to shape the shoe. But I didn’t like the quality control. The elephant print is completely different from my left pair to my right pair. Like I’m wearing two different shoes
Everyone comparing them to the 2018 release, I think ya'll should compare them to the AMA 3s that released few months ago. Similar color blocking and price point, but AMA 3s had elevated materials and better insole.
Quick, I’m going to pick up my pair today, does anyone know if Nike offers military discount on their stores for first day releases? I know they do the mil discount.
To me, 3s look better on people with bigger feet. I wear a 9 and my Aunt called me baby feet in 3s and was questioning my shoe size.🤣🤣🤣 I’ll leave it at that.😂
Here is the thing. This is 2024 model. Is going to be different materials. Just be happy with it. I don't own 2018. It's the past, lol. On the now, buy what you like and enjoy it
I could never afford these or jordans in general back in the day.. I’m super happy they’re dropping because I’ve always dreamt of getting them. A good start for my sneaker collection 😊
Owned both pair of 2018 and 2024. I’d say the overall color and shade of the 2018 looked exaggerated than 2024. My 2024 pair has a very nice tumbled leather and almost flawless but still way more softer than 2018 pair. It’s similar to the leather of reimagined 4s.
I really like them, but i recently got the AMM 3s and my 2018 pair still kicking so i slept. I’ll probably spin the block by the summer but im holding out for the black cat 3s and bred 1s
I have both and I prefer the new pair. The old one feels and looks clunkier imo. I just wish the elephant print on the new one was slightly darker, not as dark as the 2018 but just slightly.
I think at first they look kind of off but they’ll wear in nice you can already see some creases and it’s adding a little “tumbled” look when he’s doing the on foot
Yeah they do still have a subtle tumble and that’s closer to how they were originally. I think folks have a misconception that the more tumbled leather = better quality. I’ve seen other reviewers saying 2024 leather is softer and more supple. On the way, so I’ll compare when get here.
The reason why they changing it like this is because it’s more of a lifestyle shoe. Nobody is really playing basketball in Jordan’s anymore every once in a while, but it’s a part of the culture now.
TBH .. I'm Thankful That Y'all ShoeTubers Have The Following Y'all Do .. Because I Been Taking Ls Lately 😭 .. But This One Pair Particularly I Wanted The Most . And I C-o-p-p .. 2 Pairs 😁👍🏿.. Easily Because Y'all Said The Quality Wasn't Up There 2018 Over The 2024s 😂 .. Appreciate It
i just need to recollect og shoes like even if they’re reimagined like i’m not buying a resale shoe worth more than retail 220 i’m getting it no doubt about it , just as the grape 5s white cement 4s rare air 4s metallic 5s like those are the pinnacles of getting em 1 of 1 don’t need buy unless i wanna double up of 1 of em maybe.

Are they comfortable on the heels? I’ve had a bit of an up and down experience with 3s cuz of the heel so I was wondering about that.
By heel, I mean more so the ankle cuz the 3s I’ve worn tend to scrape my ankle a lot
This generations minds are conditioned to accepting only the 18s as the "concept". To me, the 24s is it! The 24s make the 18s look cartoonish.
Agree 💯%
The fact that everyone comparing 18s to these to me is crazy work, these are more OG then the 18s

Lies you tell stop dick eating
Just got mine today! Got both 18 and 24 BC3’s! Elephant print looks WAY better in person than in videos!
Tony cappin he’s coppin them shits when they 300$ in 5 years

I like the smooth leather on the 2024
Got the shock drop pair and they are flawless no complaints
Appreciate the fresh perspective. Gotta keep it honest

So with these should I go true to size or go half a size up??

I’m so glad they are not as bulky!! The one thing I disliked about the 2018 release was how bulky they were!!
I like the 2024s more but definitely will keep wearing my 2018s an put the new ones on ice
I prefer the subdued look of the 24 pair. Easy to dress up or dress down. Looks clean and classic.
Passing on these, I have the 2018 pair, got the balvin3 and ama 3.
Same bro I got the 18 pair if I want the 2024s later on I can just trade a shoe I don’t need for him them in the future don’t gotta cop at all rn
I just secured a footlocker raffle. Pick up tomorrow. I’m hype
These are straight gas 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah they are ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
These better than 2018
PERIOD!
These are 🔥 My pair arrived yesterday, I’m so glad all the re-selling hype is dead and the people actually buying these to wear can get them for retail

I was able to cop. These have been my grails since I became a sneaker head. I super excited. I’m gonna rock these till they fall apart
My 2018s are still in good condition, so I’m asking myself if I really need a pair of the 2024s.
Same
The descriptions of the ‘24s are tempting though
Seem better
5:49 my shock drop pair had that tag 🙌🏾
I got these on the shock drop and love them! No issues with mine 🔥 good luck to everyone going for these this weekend

I’m same size as you went TTS the white cements feel nice
Excuse me sir, I would like to ask... "Made in..." or what country is stated in your Air Jordan 3 Black Cement 2024 box?
Thank you.
I think they're dope af. I was not able to get the 2018 pair so excited to get these in hand. I love my reimagined 3 white cement.
Need to know what pants those are 10:20
Thanks for your honesty bro!
Back in the day nobody critiqued the quality of shoes. We just bought them wore them and appreciated them.
Depending on when you are referring to back in the day they cost WAY less if these were $120 then no problem. But now you are spending double what you paid before yes people will critique more.
i regret not doubling up when i had the chance
The 2018 pair looks like the Maniere 3s that just dropped. I like that pebbled look on the leather.
I always saw the Jordan 3s as a little too padded. Looking forward to see how this thinner version fits. Thanks for being 100.
Baby was wildin in the background.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ngl, I actually sized DOWN a half size and it fit perfectly. I’m also an 8.5 and mine fit glove-like. I love it.
