I don’t give a damn if these sat, this is the best Jordan of all time and we’re a must have. Great time to be a sneakerhead. We can get almost every release without fighting a million resellers. I’m honestly shocked that these were easier to get than the WC. Much love from across the pond my dude!
I wouldn't care except the reason. Took me buying 3 pair to get 1 decent pair. Yes I'm able to take other 2 back but someone getting some busted pair. 1 of the 2 was really really really bad
Amen bro. As a 28yr old collector and drippy man I still get excited about these when they come back out and I just can’t shut up about it lol. The bc3’s brings out my deepest passion for the sneaker culture. Obviously my favorite pair that’s why I got 3 pairs this time lol.
Almost every aspect of the 2024 pair is objectively better. The only thing it loses out on is the price. Jordan *11s* cost this same amount, and the men's highs only come out once a year with consistently good quality. If these were any other non-OG colourway, nobody would be buying these for retail.
@erictaggmusic916 mine came out good. The only thing I did find different was elephant print looked faded and the other shoe was darker. I'm talking about the cracks.
@@erictaggmusic916 but I'm not complaining about it. Dope ass shoe. It was harder to cop these back then. Literally had to camp out 2 days for these shoes
Of course we are feeling it dude! Respect the grind. This channel revived my passion for collecting and this year has been my best in terms of getting the ones I need. Much love from the States!
Before this year end i just want to say thank you for all your great videos, just bought my j3 bc and returned to this video, silent supporter here, appreciate your efforts my guy! Have a successful new year ahead of you!
This is the first year since 1988 that this shoe sat in stores. Thats because nike released 900k pairs and also because these new sneakerheads dont know about this shoe. They care about crocs and collabs lol im glad i was able to buy 2 pairs.
Pine green 3s are pretty dope and underrated, I copped the black cements on Saturday when they dropped even tho I have the 2018s can't wait to see them in hand!
Love your genuine, down-to-earth and funny opinions on sneakers. I am a very new collector, approx a year, and rapidly approaching my 40s. Like you planned on skipping but that exclusive access is too good to turn down! Love the look of those White Cement 3s but they were released before I got into the game and I either hit on SNKRS or I don’t so not paying resale! Keep up the good work
Picked up my first pair yesterday on release and secured my double up today. Couldn’t be happier with the pickups, the first pair was perfect and the my second pair are almost as good 😊
I really enjoy watching your videos. I've only recently started buying sneakers again. I started by buying high-end replicas, but now I am staying up on the drops and am buying them upon release. But that is neither here nor there. I find your videos to be both sincere and entertaining. I appreciate your humor and honesty. Great job on your channel. I wish you all the best!
Another excellent review bro! After much consideration I'm passing on these. I'm so happy with my White Cement 3s from '22 and can't get over the shiny black leather on the BCs!
The 2024 pair is amazing. There has always been QC issues with Nike and Jordan brand, but overall a fantastic shoe, I’m very happy to get one on SNKRS. I agree with you, it should be available and allow folks who want it to have access to it. What a great sneaker, one of my all time favorites.
Just got mine in as well. Love the changes, they feel lighter. Jealous of your shoe having a bicep vein I will never get. Also, your slanderous omission of True Blues 3s is noted.
Here in Oz was in a number of retail outlets and have seen the AJ3 Black Cement readily available along with other past AJ3 releases (like retro Grey Cement, Fear and a few others).
Great review. If there weren't so many complaints on the QC everyone would say the 2024 version is better. With that being said I agree with your take. The 2024 version is sleeker and more true to the 88 OG pair. Glad I doubled up on this release
I prefer the more padded feeling since it feels more comfortable. I like the elephant print to pop so it looks better from a distance. While I agree with the shape being better there isn't really a need to buy them if you got 2018s already since to me, they look better in a collection, especially next to White AMM3s
Great review, excited for my 2024 pair to arrive! On a different note, I recently realized that the track played in the video is by Nyck Caution from Pro Era. I forgot all about him! Thank you for putting me on to his new music! 🎵
Waiting for my pair to arrive I’m hoping I get a clean pair seeing a lot of people got messed up ones. Been waiting on these for awhile cause I missed out on the 2018 pair and regretted that. Surprised they gave us the OGs and not the reimagined treatment like the WC’s
Here in Malaysia (Asia ) they’re sitting in all sizes. Easy cop . As soon as I sent buy I received notification that I got em. A must have shoes and will double up after this hopefully they go on sale in here
I still have my 2018 pair, and they still look good, but I won 🏆 3 pairs but only picked up 1. I don't need 3 pairs and keep bringing the videos 📹 and many more Blessings and Years to come 🎊 🙌
Sub added! Love your content always gets me rolling😂 nice to hear a fresh/honest take that’s different from the same ol same ol coming from the other sneaker channels. Appreciate ya💯
As you mentioned I already saw 48 other different reviews but you covered pretty much all necessary and basically speak facts with which I agree. Thank you! 13:23
Yes I agree, arguably the best Jordan to have ever released, and even though I copped a pair of the 2024, I still think the 2018 is a better and superior pair. And they are absolute tanks that could be worn in any element of weather. Love em. Love em both TBH, but 2018 is my choice.
I just bought 2 pairs waiting for third one. only complain i have is that the right shoe has a more pronounced elephant print. really noticeable but I think I'll keep them
Were they hard to hit down here in Aotearoa? I somehow managed to double up, not that I was trying to. Ironically the same happened for me and the WC3s in 22, only shoes I've ever doubled up on. Not complaining in the slightest, just so surprised
Here in the U.S I tried to get my size right at 8am launch time and didn’t hit. It offered me only size 8 or lower or I think 13 was available after the initial frenzy. Copped a pair for about 40 over retail I’m gonna be fine
They were extremely easy to get in the US. They're even still sitting some places. I bought 3 pairs, my first shock drop pair has trash QC so I'm going to return that pair.
I personally prefer white cement 3s over the bc3, although I wish they would’ve done a regular retro like these with the recent release instead of reimagined.
Im in NZ. JD sports and Culture Kings are our only options. No half sizes. CK did an auction. JD was first in. Got one from each. Will likely get rid of one. Hope the 11 is ok, usually 10.5
Hit on a drop for the first time in years. Wish I had paid attention though, as there was a sale in Canada for 25% off that still works on the BC3! Imagine hitting on a BC3 for 25% off on day 1 🤯
I had the 1994 original reissue and the 2001. The 1994 was the closest to the 1988 (yes it had the Nike Air on the heel and correct print too) and these new ones are very similar. The shape on everything since is nothing like the OG. Same with the Jordan 1 first reissues in 2001(I had 3 pairs) the shape was totally wrong (my brother had the 85's when they came out) and the materials were weird too. The new releases over the past few years are closer to the originals but I think most people just don't know! Just a shame they now make the customer pay for the privilege of making a half decent release when that used to be standard! Crazy to also say I bought my 1994 pair for £40 as nobody wanted them and they went straight on discount sale, along with the 1's and 2's !!
My only concern is the product issues. I grabbed 3 pair. 2 for me 1 for my son. They all have some kind of scratch , stitching etc. smh. Give us the 2024 version with 2018 leather.
Great review! I like them more than the 2018 pair. Will try to get my hands on them Thursday in Cologne. If I'm not successful, I can still go online. Here they are also still sitting at Foot Locker online (except for the biggest sizes). I think the leather and the smoothness overall reminds me a bit of how they also did the Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined. This years pair looks like the total package.
FFS just received my pair, and elephant print on both is completely different. 😢 print on the left shoe looks exactly like on my 2018 pair, and right one is barely visible. And of course no more pairs on SNKRS app in my size UK12
You are right that "peblling" print on the leather is a sign of quality, just a sign of bad quality. They need to put that fake print on the leather so pairs can be more "uniform" but if the leather was actually "quality" it wouldn't need that fake texture on top of it

@@DR.DisInfectman I always have to do that with 3s. The elephant print is never consistent and the quality is always a gamble
Facts 🔥
New shape and less bulky ankle collar is defo better
I'm cool with keeping $220 plus tax, just to have an(arguably) better shaped shoe.
Almost every aspect of the 2024 pair is objectively better. The only thing it loses out on is the price.
Jordan *11s* cost this same amount, and the men's highs only come out once a year with consistently good quality. If these were any other non-OG colourway, nobody would be buying these for retail.
I sold my 2018 pair, I’m not a fan of the bulky look.
Got my double up! Arguably the best Jordan of all time.
Super happy that these were an easy W.
Hands down the best Jordan of all time and I finally got me a pair. I NEVER was able to get these growing up and I missed out on the 2018 pair
I wrapped my shock drop pair and put them under the Christmas tree lol.
I already opened up my shock drop pair but I have another pair on the way from finishline. Might have to put those under the tree as well lol
@ how’d the shock drop pair look?

That was a very unique on foot! Really cool to see all versions side by side like that.
Cheers man glad you enjoyed that
As a size 13, This was the first time I’ve hit on SNKRS app in years
Nice bro
lol try being a size 15
Bricks
@@dylan_711bruh that’s my struggle lol but still was able to get them
Size 12.5 here, tried on 3 accounts and got the W on my main! Happy that the big feet gang could cop this time around.😊
I might be weird but I don't mind unique faults on my sneakers. That vein on your toe box makes your shoes unique and identifiable.
Wabi Sabi 🤙🏻

Same here. I still have my 2018 pair, and they still look good
The slimmed down look is a good improvement
These and the WC3’s are a most for collectors but the Fire Red 3’s should be included as well because MJ played a lot of games in that colorway.
For sure! That pair is on par with these for sure. Fingers crossed for a true blue in this shape.
Mine came in perfect, I can’t wait to crease them I started in the pews at church today!
Nice
The recent Fire Red 3’a were 🔥 as well
Exactly I have them too
made way better than these were these feel like a cheap knockoff version of the shoe
Iconic model and colourway. Love the 2024s.

I love these so much I got my pair Tuesday and I can’t believe how perfect they are. The shape is just perfect
Just received these and by far so comfortable than any thing I have worn. Definitely great to be a sneaker head again
They long gone in Vancouver in store, but online still has some pairs
I love that they just sitting here in Korea. Full size run just sitting on SNKRS app

This is the best sneaker TH-cam channel. Someone that’s not afraid to be themselves. Keep it doing it up. This channel will definitely keep growing.
I hope they made more than usual. They really need to get rid of the “limited” hype bs
In your opinion.
Seems like most people that wanted these got them
@@sneakernomics5547 no way that’s awesome
Just got mine in as well. Love the changes, they feel lighter.
Jealous of your shoe having a bicep vein I will never get. Also, your slanderous omission of True Blues 3s is noted.
So cool everyone who wanted them managed to get a pair!
Damn, after that comparison, I have to buy the new pair.
I was on the fence until this video. 2018s still in good condition. But the leather and the shape 😍! This will age well
The Chinese takeaway leaflet got me 😂 Also, can’t believe the reimagineds came out 2 years ago- time flies!
Did they not come out in 2023? 🤔
Small sizes are not only available, but also on sale on the Nike App in Canada. 😊
A real OG Jordan head collector like myself has to have both pairs. I’m glad the Hype beast snooze on these. OG over everything.
Hell yea!! Finally we can cop easy and not need to camp out for these like back then!! Even though camping out was pretty fun
Here in Oz was in a number of retail outlets and have seen the AJ3 Black Cement readily available along with other past AJ3 releases (like retro Grey Cement, Fear and a few others).

I got an in-store raffle win, got to inspect my pair before buying. Thankfully, they are super clean. I hope all AJ3s keep this slimmer shape.
Australia here, they're sitting. No resell as well. So many retail assists on the FB pages
I prefer the more padded feeling since it feels more comfortable. I like the elephant print to pop so it looks better from a distance.

Keep pumping brother. I look forward to your videos every week.
Awesome bro thanks
Love the White Cements (and the Black Cements too - picked up a pair of the new ones) but have to say the True Blues are something special.
Great review, excited for my 2024 pair to arrive! On a different note, I recently realized that the track played in the video is by Nyck Caution from Pro Era. I forgot all about him! Thank you for putting me on to his new music! 🎵
These are sitting in many stores and online in the US. They are very easy to get
2024 have started to grow on me except for the faded elephant print. Love my 2018s but again the new sleeker profile looks better imo
the toes are turning up even if ever slightly... the reimagined was perfect
Another amazing quick and straightforward video, keep up the good work man
I have seen a bunch of reviews of the bc3 by now, but your's is still the best🤝
Greatest j ever. Copped on the shock and plan on beating em into the earth. Yeah ima enjoy these!
happy there were many pairs, this one is a classic so i got one for stock and one to rock
My shock drop pair Finally gets in tomorrow 🙌🏼‼️
Good content bro. I’m here for it.
These were not a retro of the 88 these are are retro of the 1994💡

You tie your laces behind the tongue? I feel like I’m the only one that does it. Looks clean and shoe isn’t loose on foot.
I still have my 2018 pair, and they still look good, but I won 🏆 3 pairs but only picked up 1. I don't need 3 pairs and keep bringing the videos 📹 and many more Blessings and Years to come 🎊 🙌
Line up for these in nz, turns out culture king made a mistakes by releasing the jordan 11 legend blue early, cop a pair before release.
Sub added! Love your content always gets me rolling😂 nice to hear a fresh/honest take that’s different from the same ol same ol coming from the other sneaker channels. Appreciate ya💯
A Kiwi here, got mine on Drop Day Saturday. Was down at the nike shop at opening time.! $330 NZ dollars, but that's only $190 American.
I found the shoes nice and light. Very easy to put on. Comfort levels - not sure so far but not bad.
After the latest AMM collab I wasn't sure if I needed an other dark/black Jordan 3 - also bought the Fear 4s- . But fuck it, this shoe is too iconic.
So happy for this review Thankyou .
Had to get these retail couldn’t wait bro 😎 also everyone sit back relax and enjoy the banger 🏖️ 🍿

2018 was my first pair of Jordan 3 Blk Cement. Since then I've become a fan of the 3s and 6s.
3-6 are my fav. not alot of people seem to like the 6s, which is fine cuz its an easier cop usually.
I definitely like the 2024 pair over the 2018. I’m not a fan of bulky shoes, and the leather looks better smooth.
Very good review of the Black cement 3.
Totally agree with you 2024 are very good as for the reimagined white cement.
💯
I personally prefer white cement 3s over the bc3, although I wish they would’ve done a regular retro like these with the recent release instead of reimagined.
the 2001 release had the nike air on the back which i owned
Mine are in the mail. Just hope my QC is on point. Excited AF. Wanted these since I was 7.
Yes bro excited for you 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

24’ are so much better!!❤ still sitting…thinking of buying these after watching the video. I didn’t like much 18’ pair but these are fire.
Excellent comparison. Def digging 24 release. Glad I was able to grab a pair 🔥

They’re still sitting on the SNKRS UK app, 3 days later…
The black vinyl on the upper looks pretty ordinary. And these things are sitting 100% in Aussie.
Great review! I like them more than the 2018 pair. Will try to get my hands on them Thursday in Cologne. If I'm not successful, I can still go online. Here they are also still sitting at Foot Locker online (except for the biggest sizes).
I think the leather and the smoothness overall reminds me a bit of how they also did the Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined. This years pair looks like the total package.
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.
Chur bro, just picked these up from a reseller for only 30 buck extra over retail, these are mint
Still rockin green glow
Love my pair 🔥
Need these! I had the 2023 fear 3s, would you say these fit the same mate. I'm a uk9.5 in most Nike things. Awesome channel mucho love from Thailand.

Absolute bicep vein 😂😂😂 proper got me that did lol
You are right that "peblling" print on the leather is a sign of quality, just a sign of bad quality. They need to put that fake print on the leather so pairs can be more "uniform" but if the leather was actually "quality" it wouldn't need that fake texture on top of it
