Good review!! New to your channel and you did a great job 👏 emotions make a video even better… I’m still on the fence about these lol… everyone loves these but I’m more so a fan of the sneakers he won Rings in… or when i watched him play. 80s baby but still the colors are nice
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback on the content! That's cool how you enjoy the silhouettes that Jordan wore when he won his championships. I like that about the sneaker culture, we all have a meaning behind what we choose to buy. I appreciate you!
😄 🤣 I agree about how nice they are. I know everyone will get a different experience on quality because it's massed produced, but my pair were great. Cheers and enjoy them!
Thanks for checking out today's sneaker content. We picked up the Black Cement 3s and I'm like a kid in a candy store! Did yall go after these? Drop a comment down below! Cheers fam!
I'm in complete agreement with your statement. These were a must for me as well. Knew it when I first heard they were releasing. GOAT status for some for sure!
I'm passing and these are my favorite 3s ever. I have the 2018 and I wore them for the birth of my daughter and she is my 3rd child . so it's hard for me to really want these more than the 2018. I mean the plan was to cop them and they look so close to the 1988 . Im thinking I might go back and cop I'm trying to help out a friend . I really trying to just enjoy pairs I copped and just left them DS cause the chase is every week . months and years go by and the plan for many sneakers was to unds . some I don't really see myself wearing with a possibility of maybe undsing. so lately I've been undsing sneaker and making sure I'm enjoying this sneaker game cause man can easily get lost constantly copping and never really undsing them . fire pickup brother Wooooooo. I know im going to regret passing on these and many more ive been wanting for years but I really need to slow down and be more selective especially with pairs I've already worn cop and appreciated owning them and some just enjoy by people I follow and seeing them with joy and happiness . ✊️🙏
@@loganjbaez I'm the same, Logan. That's why I cut back on buying sneakers. I just wasn't able to wear all the ones I already had. Trying to fit everything into the rotations was becoming a chore. I think the only shoes I've bought this year are the nike mac attack, nike vandal, air jordan 6 carmine and the black infrared, air trainer huarache, air flight huarache and the tech challenge huarache. I will be going for the BC3s though. I wouldn't have been if it wasn't for the fact that I've ruined my 2018 pair by putting them away wet and they got covered in mold. I got them clean-ish but the mold aged them by about ten years, lol. And I haven't been able to fully get rid of the smell.
I hear ya, brother. If I owned the 2018 and they were still wearable, I'd definitely pass. I was telling Liam earlier that I missed out on them in the past, so I just couldn't bring myself to pass on them. Also, I completely understand about un ds'ing sneakers. I'm having a hard time doing it like I was saying in my video. I actually have 25+ pairs on StockX right now that I'm selling. Just letting them go to another home and someone who can rock them. I'm not gonna kid myself, I have a passion for this stuff. I know we all do....but it's time to scale back. I feel you on that one. Cheers, my friend. I hope all is well and good to hear from you!
@AromaKicks17 lol. I've tried literally everything. Thankfully they don't smell as bad as they did. I washed them loads. Used all kinds of sprays and dropped a ton of silica packets in the box. But yeah, the mold damage has put little cracks through the plastic back tab. And the area around the air unit on the left shoe has some cracks. The paint on the midsole is even started to crack. To the naked eye they look fine, but up close you can see the damage that the mold did.
You didn't get the 2018 release? I would've thought you'd have been all over that. When was the shock drop? Gutted i missed that. Definitely going for a pair on Saturday though. I need a fresh pair as i just about ruined my 2018 pair by putting them away wet and they got covered in mold. The only thing I'm not keen on is the Elephant print on this new retro. It looked much better on previous retros. Still, I'm loving the shape of these. Quality and craftsmanship looks on point too. I actually just got my grails this morning. Bought a fresh pair of the j6 black/infrared, 2019 retro. I had the 2014 release, but had to throw them away earlier this year as I'd worn them to the point of destruction.😂
The Infrared 6s are another grail of mine. Again, another pair I missed out on when they dropped several years ago. I'd love to see them bring them back because I'd definitely grab a pair. Congrats on picking them up, brother!
@AromaKicks17 I heard earlier in the year that they were supposed to be coming back. Turns out it's a fire red j6. I'm hearing it's going to be white leather upper though, not the black nubuk. So I just thought I'd get the 2019 pair. Better late than never.😂
@TheRetroManRandySavage i may have to take note and do the same. I'm like yall though, trying my best to be selective. I grabbed those black cements because I've never owned them. Same with these...if they released, I'd have to get them or I may pay resell like you did. Just an amazing pair of sneakers.
@AromaKicks17 I hear the J14 Ferrari is coming back. Do you think you'll grab those? I'm seriously thinking about it. I've never owned any 14s before. I really like the 14s you have. The white and blue colourway.
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
For me, they fit good at true to size. I wear an 11.5 in Jordan 1 Highs and I got these at size 11.5 and they fit just fine. Not to loose and not to snug. I have a wide foot also. Hope this helps! I would suggest going and trying on a pair of random Jordan 3s at any retail store though just to be on the safe side if you can. Cheers!
@@AromaKicks17 Thank you bro! I also have a wide foot and many 4s in tts kill my pinky toe 😅So I would like to avoid this in the 3s. I have never had this model so I'm looking for a help hahah
Nice! Yeah, i didn't even know they were going to shock drop on that day. I'd heard rumors. Luckily, I saw the SNKRS notification so I was ready. Got lucky. Go ahead and get that W this Saturday my friend. Good to hear from you!
I wish I could have got my hands on the 2018 pair. I missed out on those. I see a lot of folks saying they prefer the 2018 but I didnt have them to compare. Respect! Thanks for stopping through!
Awesome. I've been into sneakers since around 84 or 85. Back when I was rocking LAGear and British Knights before we could afford Jordans. My first pair of Js were the Fire Red 4s that a friend gave me back in 89. I got into Js after that. Before that, I mainly wore BKs and loved them. Cheers!
After getting them in person, I don’t like these, I tried doubling up to force myself that I like them but I never understood and nor will I understand the hype behind this colorway. Never been a fan of it. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ it’s classic and iconic but not for me. The white cements legendary status makes more sense than these (to me)
Hey, I respect your perspective! For me, it's not the hype of the colorway but more so the hype of one of the original 4 Jordan 3s. I guess I'm weird like that! 😂 For the 3s and 4s, I love the original 4 colorways of each. I can't disagree with your comment on the White Cements either, I love them just as much. I was just as happy when they dropped as I was with these. I doubled up on them but sold a pair because I don't like doubling up on sneakers that I know I may never get back around to a second pair so I sell them. It always feels like the right decision to double up at the time they drop! Haha. Oh...and did you see that Auburn win this weekend! 🤣
@ Lord Help me I’m still suffering from that ass whoopin Oklahoma laid on our asses, my first ever bama game I ever attended and that’s the treat I get 😭😭😭😭 but that’s what I like about you and your channel, you’re honest about your reviews, you’re not afraid to be a critic on sneakers whether you like them or not. I think what makes me not love the shoe is how it’s granted the Greatest Sneaker of All Time but doesn’t have as much impact and dirty work like the White Cement 3 does. If that make sense. Was this the first colorway of the Jordan 3 that was promoted in the commercial
@AshleyMona dang! Yeah, I couldn't believe that when it popped up on the screen (Bama vs. OU score). Now, the issue is, we have to play yall in Tuscaloosa, and the Iron Bowl is already no joke, but playing Bama after a loss like that, it's going to be rough! About the BCs, I believe they were the first colorway that dropped. I know they blew up when MJ wore them in the All-Star game. I was in middle school at that time, and everyone wanted a pair of Black Cements! I couldn't get a pair, and I remember being jealous. It's funny how you get older and don't worry about stuff like that anymore, but as a teenager, it mattered so much! Lol
When you analyze fakes and look for flaws you will get a lot anyone saying they got early pairs from a shock drop is lying there was no shock drop been watching my phone every day TH-camrs try to make videos on fakes like they're real
th-cam.com/video/9Soqt1XXyB0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cSDY0YBNovCWgwL8 Go to 1:50 in the video. I'm not the only one who called these the black cements back in the day. There was no bred colorway back in the 80s. But hey, that's cool, I respect agreeing to disagree! Cheers!

Now you all have convinced me. Definitely going to cop these. Beautiful work on the sneakers.

Agree, these are a must for anyone who loves Jordan's! Great pickup, congrats man! 🔥
The A Ma 3s are 🔥 also. The leather look great on those too! 😮
Thanks Shadow! Appreciate the support as always!
Yeah, those A Ma's will be coveted in the future. Strongly believe that!
🔥 🔥 🔥. definitely a must cop to my collection. one of the best of all time imo.
I'm in complete agreement with your statement. These were a must for me as well. Knew it when I first heard they were releasing. GOAT status for some for sure!
Legendary
Absolutely!
you need the true blue 3s to complete the set 👍🏻

@LekkoDuch you're welcome my friend! True to size should work well! I'm wearing mine now with no pain at all to the pinky toe! Haha!
Salty I didn’t got on the shock drop, but I’m saving $20 on the release day
Nice! Yeah, i didn't even know they were going to shock drop on that day. I'd heard rumors. Luckily, I saw the SNKRS notification so I was ready. Got lucky. Go ahead and get that W this Saturday my friend. Good to hear from you!
Yeah me personally I prefer the 2018 version, leather on the 2024 version reminds me of the green glow 3s
I wish I could have got my hands on the 2018 pair. I missed out on those. I see a lot of folks saying they prefer the 2018 but I didnt have them to compare. Respect! Thanks for stopping through!
fire vid my guy. im taking the big pass on these. i help the homie get a couple pairs.. keep killing it with the vids
Thanks brother! Nice of you to help out your friends to grab a pair! That's what good folks do! Cheers!
I'm a born and raised sneakerhead
Awesome. I've been into sneakers since around 84 or 85. Back when I was rocking LAGear and British Knights before we could afford Jordans. My first pair of Js were the Fire Red 4s that a friend gave me back in 89. I got into Js after that. Before that, I mainly wore BKs and loved them. Cheers!

They did a shock drop on SNKRS app at 2:23pm EST on November 14th. You can google it and look it up. I have recipets for mine. Cheers!
Bro those were always bred 4s don't cris cross partner
th-cam.com/video/9Soqt1XXyB0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cSDY0YBNovCWgwL8
Go to 1:50 in the video. I'm not the only one who called these the black cements back in the day. There was no bred colorway back in the 80s. But hey, that's cool, I respect agreeing to disagree! Cheers!
Did you do your research partner? The 4s are Black Cements. Wanted to give you a week or so to educate yourself.
