Jordan 3 Black Cement Review

[@abdulaliakbar1175]

I've been wanting a pair ever since 1988, and I finally got them in 2024!

[@randomyoutuber9226]

@@abdulaliakbar1175 congratulations! I was able to get my very first pair this year too!

[@hatfieldd7]

It's dec 8 and my mall has pretty much every size still. Awesome

[@HomeBodyMous]

This! and now I see why they're so coveted. They've become one of my favorite shoes ever.

[@OTDAGZA]

Gotta say..finally a well thought out review, not a half assed, put together quickly just to post content right away, speaking only opinions type of review. Much appreciated 🙏🏽

[@Jordyce]

Same with the Fear 4s, I like em, but there's so many other black 3s/4s this year you gotta make a call and the Balvins and AMMs are damn nice

[@oyedotuno9014]

I would consider going for these still, it’s the OG black pair. I have the Rios ( it’s almost like a matte or VANTA black with a pop of colour like a rainbow) and the AMM AJ3 ( it gives a mature vibe, I like the mix of black and the pewter and violet ore seems like a mix between brown and purple). These are still a go so the aj3 bc is worthy. Having all 3 side by side they may seem similar yet quite different

[@aaronkiska9620]

The amas are ten times better

[@aaronkiska9620]

Their dropping million pairs

[@Lee-ic2yn]

​@@aaronkiska9620nobody cares how many pairs the BC3/WC3 are the best

[@David-cr3pt]

A whole generation of newbies grew up with that crappy pair from 2018, thinking that’s what they should look like. If you’re old school like me who grew up with the originals, you know that these are how they’re supposed to look.

[@rxflyfishing1316]

💯💯💯

[@cedvictorious]

Just like the newbies who liked the lower patent leather cut on 11s. If they loom at the 3s back in the MJ era, they didn't even have tumbled leather....🤷🏾‍♂️

[@b.o.1951]

@@Goldenlsr old head here. That was funny af young man.

[@letmegetuhhh3959]

I’ve had every pair of black cements from 01 till now and honestly the 2018 pair isn’t shitty. It’s definitely not as close to the OG as before but that’s fine. Personally i think they look better and are more comfortable than the 2024 pair. I have the new white cements and they’re just not great comfort wise.

[@jasonwolfe3252]

I had the originals and the 2018 pair was pretty close despite the shape. The shape on these look closer to originals but I'm not sure about the leather. Originals had leather look that was more like 2018 .

[@abelramirez7391]

The OG’s want them as close as to the originals because thats how we remember them and thats how they came. Newbies want them to how they looked when they were first introduced to them.

[@blackcop51]

Simple

[@tropxcal22]

These and the fear 4s are a must

[@astrocarter9213]

The fear 4s I’m debating 🤔

[@TherealJeepersCreepers]

Yeah and j3 Black cats too 3 must haves

[@shootindice_]

Bc3 is my favorite 3 . I still have my 2018 pair and it’s in good condition still. Since they’re making so many pairs I’m gonna pass on retail and see if I can find a slightly worn pair in the future for a steal. I’m sure I can wear my 2018s for another 4 years or so loll

[@UNDFTDGordon]

I’d like a retro as close to the OG as possible. That’s the point.

[@pepedelatorre2351]

6:02 it is a big deal! If you’re dropping $200+ on a pair of sneakers, they better be good lol

[@boms2762]

The Green Glow 3's are Close to the OG Shape too

[@mattgrice9765]

If you look at manufacturing, the elephant print is cut out of big sheet material so of course the pattern will differ from section to section, the tumbled leather being smooth in areas is due to the stitching together process it tightens up with the material below, the actual material is the same it’s the construction with differs the tumbledness

[@christophercarpenter893]

My right shoe looks more tumbled than the left shoe but the elephant print looks good in both. I saw yours and Seth Fowler have the same issue

[@eddverdillo2589]

I got the 2011s of the black cements when it was released back then and still rocking it to this day, just having it restoring them once they start to crumble but the leather on it is really built to last. I mean it’s more than a decade old shoe. Had the nike air back tabs and the nike logo soles for the retro feels since it came with jumpman and jordan logos.

[@sebastienc.2257]

Almost everything people say to complain about the leather on these shoes are traits that are more closely associated with genuine leather. Leather isn't naturally tumbled, genuine tumbled leather is heavily worn. The 2018 pair had embossed leather. genuine leather has inconsistencies in the pattern because it's the skin of a living thing lol. This isn't to say that the leather on the 2024s is that good but more to illustrate that the leather on the 2018 pairs is that bad. And it shouldn't matter if people like either, neither or both but people in these comments and other comment sections should at least be educated on the topics that they speak on.

[@LekkoDuch]

Are these Jordans narrow? I'm between size 8 and 8.5, which one should I buy?

[@eleazarhepburn6618]

8.5 Just save your toes

[@bradleybell-dk7xs]

The elephant print was known to be mixed or different from shoe to shoe even back then and 94, however the toe rand height is what bothers me. If that is inconsistent, that is a problem.

[@raulcarrion3688]

They look good 👍🏽 can’t wait to grab my pair, I have the WC3s aswell

[@fabzfeast]

I only wear Air Max 1s and 90s, size UK 11.5 is perfect fit. With that in mind, can you recommend what sizing I should grab these in?

[@mr.fakt1980]

I wear a US 10,5 in all my Air Max 1‘s. I got the wz 3‘s in a 10,5 as well and they fit perfect. Hope this will help you.

[@Mr_V974]

WC3,AMax1 &:90 I all wear them in UK9 and the fit perfectly. 👌🏾

[@shoeman12384]

I went half size down for white cement so that’s what I will go with for black cement

[@chadmarshall4545]

Another review said these did not fit like the WC3 and were more TTS. I too had to go down a 1/2 size in the WC3. Not sure what to do with these.

[@shoeman12384]

@ i actually might take what what I said and do 9.5 only because wc3 don’t hurt my feet half size down. I’d rather just do 9.5 and have them feel like the fear 3 which is damn near perfect

[@mikeprice8307]

S​ure did! And most people selling have no returns as of right now

[@mob_status]

Just got them via today's shock drop! Looking forward for this to be my first jordan 3 pair!

[@Poppa_Keef]

I absolutely worry about the QC. The best part about these being a mass GR, is it shouldn't be difficult to head into the store to pick these up, so you can inspect them before you leave. It's already tough enough trying to hit on a super limited shoe, but most of the time nowadays you have to enter raffles where it will be shipped to you if you hit. If QC is bad when the sneaker arrives, your choices are either ask for a refund or rock the faulty sneakers 🤷‍♂️

[@jacobjohnson3800]

I’ve had the issue of not being able to check out other pairs when picking up shoes lol. They didn’t want me touching someone else’s reserved pair lol

[@orincoon5585]

Looking forward to copping a pair of these. My first ever pair of Jordan 3's were the original og 1988 fire reds. Hope the QC issue is minimum to none on my pair.

[@mikeprice8307]

Double up?

[@KevyD77]

Need to add a black based pair to my rotation. Would you choose these 3's or the Fear 4's?

[@jacob1532]

3’s for sure

[@galvinisby371]

Getting these fr on my bday

[@DemmyTwin]

Bought these as my first pair of jordans, want to get into sneakers.

[@Pookas10020]

Me too lol but my feet are a bit wider so I have to go a size up hope they make some wide sized jordans

[@louistrece]

Also been noticing little specks or sprinkles of white in the black midsole, quality isn’t the best

[@flimgenco]

I think in general, you just can’t please everyone. People grew up to different things, will have different preferences. For me the main thing is, I like the OG style elephant print. Light with the thin lines. Pretty much everything else, I can live with

[@Michael_Rr]

Jordan 3 midnight navy was a big one too. Crazy quality control from left pair to right pair. Ridiculous. I really liked that pair. Sent it back.

[@RalfSchmitz69]

I pass on these! I have the A Ma Maniere Jordan 3 (and 4...btw) and the quality at this Jordan 3 Black Cement is really bad. Seth Fowler had two different elephant prints and Jay the Sneaker Guy was lucky and was able to switch between his 3 pairs so that they left and right sneaker matched reasonably well afterwards. In that case, I would really rather buy a very good replica of a LJR Batch for around 140 dollars and it would certainly be of much better quality. 😂

[@Lee-ic2yn]

That tells me you bought the fakes of which you mentioned

[@RalfSchmitz69]

​​​​@@Lee-ic2yn No, I actually bought the retail A Ma Maniere pairs. Because both were relatively easy to get and A Ma Maniere always delivers top quality. Unlike Nike's quality control, which has gotten worse and worse in recent years. And I still stand by my statement with the Black Cement, the replicas in 2023/2024 are partly recognized by the fact that they have a better quality than Nike or Jordan. Sad but unfortunately true. 😂 And as an addendum, I say YES directly to the question: Would I buy replicas? Because I can't understand why I should pay 500 to 800 euros for a Travis Scott or any limited snkr that only costs 160 if I couldn't get the Snkr for the retail price. Then I would rather pay 180 for a very good replica of a top batch that can only be distinguished from the original with a magnifying glass. Btw. I have a mixed collection of retail snkr and OG, LJR.... etc. Reps.😊

[@mikeprice8307]

​@@RalfSchmitz69me too! I def ain't paying 500 for no black cats 😅

[@SOLE_SAVIOUR]

Where do you cop ur reps?

[@RalfSchmitz69]

​@@SOLE_SAVIOUR ​From KickzLucas! I bought recently the Travis Scott Jumpman Jack Dark Mocha from a Y3 Batch in insane quality. Because the whole Stock Number for the EU is 7000 pairs and for my size US 9.5, only 300! To get one is the same chance like 6 right numbers in a lottery. I don't understand Travis Scott, he makes a huge PR Video and said thats the sneaker for every time, every sport and everyone, but hardly anyone has the chance to get the sneaker. In addition, all the backdooring by Mr. Scott's team and the Jordan 1 Low Velvet Brown will probably be just as hard. I love the design of the sneaker and I don't care about the maker and I hate the resell market. Why schould I pay thousends of Dollar on StockX or GOAT for a Travis Scott that costs 160 Bucks. Crazy, this worth exists only in an artificially created bubble.

[@krownheightsgang7053]

Same ppl complaining is the same ppl that complain about the blue on the Military 4’s and was super wrong…too many opinions from unqualified ppl who wasn’t even around 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@phondekarvidhesh]

Whatever the small changes, this is still a must haves. I'll even double up is I have the money.

[@sifisomahlaba9438]

These are easy to put on and feel a bit lighter. Love them so far.

[@Lougonemild1]

My pair had some QC issues. Very disappointed especially when the AMM 3’s were only $5 more expensive but the quality is at least 10x better

[@AfterThisShutUp]

Where did you get those black camo cargo pants from?

[@demeteriousblack2076]

How does the elephant print feel on the 2024 pairs?

[@gunnarolsen937]

These are how they were supposed to be….so happy I took a W on the shock drop yesterday ❤️

[@MartyMcFly3]

Dude, where can I buy your dope cap??

[@danktaco7781]

When need the black cat 3s ASAP

[@kennethventura1992]

Same for me elephant print left and right are slightly different

[@sneakerhead4770]

The funny part is they been using the as close to the OG shape pitch for 20 years. They always say that even when it’s not

[@Christianprime7]

It blows my mind how bad Nike has been with the QC lately. I had a minor issues with my Reimagined 1s and Gratitude 11s but for $200+, I wanted better quality than I received.

[@mohsenslim4395]

Are these true to size or not ?

[@mob_status]

He said yea true to size in this video

[@dariusfilip4695]

i wish i had the cash to spend on these, but i need me a new pair of boots for this winter season

[@Ayztee23]

needs > wants, get your boots. peace mate

[@jiggy_introvert]

It looks like they intentionally gave the elephant print a more aged, vintage look which is a nice touch imo

[@prestonreyes25]

This ain’t a want it’s a NEED🔥

[@LazerWolf619]

I’m good. I’ll rock my A Ma Maniére 3s over these. Also the ‘24 Jordan 4 Military are the closest to the ‘89s.

[@mikeprice8307]

Don't those have a maroon tint to them?

[@KountryBoiD942]

Definitely top 3 for sneaker of the year

[@fqulz2784]

Getting this one for sure ❤

[@AnthonyJohnston1]

these look dope. def gonna go for them. Also, how many wutang dunks are going to be released? im stressin

[@gooodnakfa]

These and the 2011’s were the best

[@reg7gh]

They look fire, they did good with them. Still a pas for me though. Good luck to yal tho. I’m team White cement 💯

[@G3323R]

I had a similar thing happen to me, with a Nike x OFF-WHITE hoodie it came with a factory defect, all they could do was refund me not replace it 😭😭😭 so I kept the factory defect hoodie 😭

[@Kirarton]

Thank god these aren't reimagined 😅 love the way these BC3 came out true to the OG I passed on last years WC3 because of the aged look

[@LoliciousXD]

Its also softer leather which will break in faster, crease easier = won't last as long

[@BGRUBBIN]

which is why their suede shoes are better choices

[@Lee-ic2yn]

😂 Yeah that's not how it works with real leather They're not even ready to wear until they're broken in

[@mikeprice8307]

Double up then! 🤷

[@sexyyfred]

Isn’t Black Friday 11/29? 🤔

[@OfficialRay3]

I don't see these on the launch calendar

[@imEsaii]

I think the qc is a big deal, if you’re dropping $220 on a shoe, I’d expect it to be perfect, vans don’t come with that problem and I’m sure they produce a lot more shoes, but for that kind of uncertainty its a big gamble for some people that can’t afford to drop that much money easily

[@isaacwilliams5938]

OK I'm old enough to remember the original 3s my first pair of Jordan's. I like my 2018.

[@Michael_Rr]

These Jordan 3 Black Cement look amazing

[@juan355]

One thing I like with this new version, the shape. 2018 looks like a boot compared to these

[@jensenerickson8413]

i had a pair with no elephant print and the other did one time

[@Wladislav]

If you're paying that much for a sneaker, the quality control had better be on point. And I'm not talking about lighter elephant print, either. I'm talking straight up stitch lines that weren't punched through and panels that are completely crooked.

[@Username_8886]

I think they want the OG shape with 2018’s leather and material .

[@mikeprice8307]

I think the 18s were really fire, but i think the 24s are for my taste.

[@City-iD]

Imo “as close to the original”doesn’t always mean it’s good. More often than not with the introduction of new models(in any industry for that matter) there are always some kinds of flaws or kinks that usually gets corrected with time in the process of production(prime example is the original Air Max 1 model that were initially flawed and in 1987 they’ve updated the design and the overall shape (which is much nicer and more streamlined imo) that we all grown to love, hence why these days you often see AM 1s ‘86 “big bubble” models being not as popular as the ‘87s

[@onofriopiccolino5166]

Jordans aren't consistent with sizing, I couldn't get my foot inside my usual size of Jordan 4 Fear and I wouldn't say Jordan 3's fit true to size. They fit snug in true to size and if you have the problem that the majority of people have with one foot being bigger than the other, I would recommend going a half size up. The Jordan 4 military blue runs true to size. The Jordan 4 Oxidized green runs snug. The Jordan 4 wet cements runs snug. The Jordan 4 Fear isn't wearable in true to size. The things that Eliot was saying about QC isn't the only reason you should buy in person. Jordans fit and feel differently every release. The material they use on the upper has a lot to do with how a shoe feels. All I know is if the Jordan 3 black cements have a lower leather under elephant print that is synthetic the sneakers will smell toxic. I order the Jordan 3 green glows and I couldn't wear them for a couple months because of how Toxic they smelled. The jump men on both tongues was missing his sneakers. I literally thought I got fakes when they were real. I than ordered Jordan 3 A ma Maneire's that had the worst QC of them all. I had to put in for the craftsmanship warranty. Nike gave me the gift card in 2 weeks but it wasn't a gift card that I could use at a Nike store. Nike wants people to buy online so they don't see what they get and they can get away with selling shoes with bad QC. Nike makes the return policies for all the small authorized retailers that sell their sneakers. They even made Dicks Sporting Goods return policy the same way. You can not return or exchange Jordans you bought online. They say you have to return or exchange them in store but Dick's Sporting Goods doesn't carry retros on shelves. Nike is a scummy company. They have no transparency with their inventory and they force people to buy from resale where they are partnered up with Goat and Flight Club. Nike has been releasing exclusive releases on Goat and Flight Club while Flight Club only has a 1.3 star review score and Goat only has a 3.8 star review score at the same time Nike is suing StockX that has a 4.2 star review score and has admitted to selling fakes. The fakes StockX sells is better than the authentic Jordans Nike sells. The fakes that will get passed eBays authenticity guarantee doesn't even look like real Jordans too me. You can get real shoes from eBay but you have to know the sellers. eBay doesn't allow negative reviews on sellers that sell fakes. Sneaker culture isn't real. You can't even be honest on reviews. Sneaker culture is a phase that people go through for several years when they are a kid. I was crazy about sneakers when I was 10 and I stopped being crazy about sneakers when I turned 15. I tried collecting sneakers like KZbinrs do and it's not even possible because of Nikes defect ratio and their limited availability. It's really hard to have more than 5 or 6 wearable sneakers. I own 7 pairs and 1 pair is fake. I once got 3 pairs of fakes in one month back to back. Don't believe the internet when it tries to tell you the average sneaker head has at least 25 pairs of sneakers. It's just not possible unless you social media influence for Nike and even then, The sneakers that you see in the background of some videos are borrowed or replicas. At the most a sneaker head will have really nice sneakers for every day of the week and a bunch of old ones. I don't know where the Internet got the idea the sneaker heads have 25 to 75 pairs of sneakers. Maybe resellers do. I am a sneaker head with about a pair of nice sneakers for everyday of the week and you can't really enjoy the sneakers you have if you have more than 3 or 4 pairs. When you have more than 5 pairs of sneakers in your rotation you can only wear a shoe a couple times a month
