I have the 2018 pair and I definitely prefer these over those. The number one reason is because of the shape which is closer to the 88. I hate that “Fat Skater Shoe” shape the 3s used to have. I also prefer a more smoother black leather as opposed to the “Fake Tumble” they put on and people mistake for “Good Leather”…🙄😏 Definitely grabbing at least 2 pairs ✌🏾

In this vid the 3 in you hand the print looks darker than every other 2024 release shown. The others looks almost like grey instead of black. The leather may be of quality but it looks faux. All the lesser cushion inside vs the 18 seems like we got cheated. I like a plush cushioned shoe. The red trim on the tongue would habe hit harder with outfits too. All in all its a 3 and we all will still purchase although disappointed.

@Theo_Isaacs2 ай бұрын
The leather looks much better if it’s tumbled especially on black sneakers. They’ve also changed the cut which in my opinion is not good as well as reducing the padding around the ankle area. The elephant print is poorly executed compared to the 2018 pair. Expressing facts about poor execution of the sneakers is not negative but rather constructive criticism that everyone should be aware of. How can such a huge brand like Nike get this so wrong on an iconic sneaker design is just unforgivable!

You’re buck wild’n if you honestly believe the elephant print on 2018 was “executed” good in any way. Nothing factual about this. What you have here is a misguided opinion on what the black cement 3 should like. 2018 didn’t come even remotely close in that respect. And the 2018 had hard, fake tumbled plasticity “leather”. Some of yall wouldn’t know actual real natural tumbled leather if were starring right your face.
