shipping took forever but i finally got my shoes in the mail and now it
is time to review these things as you can tell from the thumbnail
this is the air jordan 3 cool gray so let's go ahead and get into it

you saw in the intro i just got my pairs in the mail and i'm so excited to review this sneaker
talk numbers give you guys my opinion see what you think with the polls as well and then obviously
update you guys a little bit about the pair that came out in the past so with that being said let's
go ahead and crack this box open and see what this shoe was talking about starting with the box you
have your newer retro air jordan 3 style box you got your elephant print in the front your cool
gray in the back with the red jumpman here on the lift top going to the size tag it reads air jordan
3 retro silver sport red light graphite retail 190 bucks lifting up the lid of the box you have your
elephant print paper right here and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe so as you guys know
the air jordan 3 cool gray originally released in 2007 and from that pack which i call it a pack and
i think some other sneaker heads do as well when it comes to the cool gray pack you have something
like the cool grade 3 the cool grade 4 the cool grade 9 and the cool grade 11. i'll never forget
at that time in that era when i first heavily started collecting sneakers it was kind of like a
thing like you had to have all four if you wanted to complete the set and there was other options
as well with flint 12s and different things like that but that's a whole other topic either way
the 2007 drop has always had a place near and dear to my heart i used to wear that shoe all the time
used to have multiples i just know when i saw that this shoe was coming out i knew i had to have it
and as you can tell i needed multiples again so let's go ahead and start breaking down the styles
cuts and materials of this sneaker because i'm indifferent just a little bit about how
they went about the materials and a couple things about the style which we'll get into in a second
starting with the outsole you have your classic air jordan 3 outsole with the cool gray vibe you
got the red jordan branding here on the back of the foot with the white pod on the ball and then
a white pot here on the mid foot wrapped in cool gray working our way up to the midsole you have
your classic air jordan 3 color blocking style except for it's gray instead of the black with
the white like we typically see and another dope thing right here on the air unit it's all orange
as well matching in the accent hits here on the eyelids and on the back of the foot working our
way to the upper you have your two tone gray elephant print here on the front in the back
of the shoe you got matching materials here on the mud guard and the upper of the foot wrapping
around to the side as well then you have a darker perforated section here around the collar of the
foot and three holes here on the eyelid one thing that i can say is this shoe is very very defined
compared to the other one especially when it comes to the perforated dots on the back of the foot and
here on the middle of the foot i think it's just a little bit more bold and the grays are a little
bit darker when you see this version right here i always remember the other pair just being a little
bit lighter toned all throughout the shoe i know it did have dark and light grays on the older shoe
as well but i think this one is just a little bit more defined looking unfortunately i got rid of
all my other cool grays when i was downsizing my collection because i knew just with time alone my
midsole started to crack i didn't want the shoes to start falling apart all these other factors and
that's what makes me so happy to have this shoe back in my collection because this was like a
great rotation shoe these do not come with a hang tag nor an extra pair of laces but at the end of
the day i'm still rocking with them you have your all-white laces here standard with the sneaker and
a white sock liner the cut of this three is very similar to the previous retros that we have seen
over the past year or two when it comes to the all red three or the all blue three or the unc
three or different threes like that and i think it's super dope how they have gone with this style
to give us that old school vibe from way back in the day and i'm loving it let me know what you
think about the cut of the newer retro threes down below in the comment section going to the
heel of the foot this is another dope touch that matches the front of the foot how you have the
red jumpman here on the tongue and i think it's super dope to have that same touch right here on
the back as well kind of just mirroring the vibe and keeping this very simple but a nice little
splash of new color on the shoe i just think they did so good on this shoe like i've always loved
this sneaker so obviously you guys know how i feel about the shoe i took a poll on instagram to see
what everybody else thinks if you haven't already make sure you follow me on instagram so you can
participate in the polls as well and this is what the results said 81 of the people chose fire and
19 of the people chose trash so as you can see a vast majority of the people really like this
shoe as well but it's actually very interesting because when you look at the price of this sneaker
at least especially in a size 13 it's going for a little bit over retail and when i say a little
bit i mean like 20 or 30 bucks and to be honest i think people are really sleeping on this shoe
and give it some time maybe a year or two this is definitely gonna be a 350 dollar shoe
that's just how i feel because i remember back in the day this shoe the do the right things a bunch
of other dope threes yeah bro you had to have them and that price just kept climbing over time
the situation with this cool grade 3 also reminds me of the cool gray four they were actually like
not even sold out when they first dropped and then they weren't going for too much money
now look at that shoe 350 bucks so i don't see any reason why this shoe wouldn't follow that
same trend in that same pattern over time and have similar values as the cool grade four i
used to own the original cool grade threes and the original cool grade fours i saw the prices change
and fluctuate over the years and i'm telling you right now i feel like it's going to be the
same thing with these oh and before i forget to mention look at the materials on this upper look
how tumbled that material looks right it's like super super tumbled looking but look at this pair
it's smooth like it doesn't even look nearly like the other pair and this pair actually looks more
like the og pair than this pair does but there's an inconsistency throughout all of these pairs
on how tumbled each shoe is some are tumbled more some are tumbled less some are smoother some are
more gritty whatever you want to call it there's definitely an inconsistency with the production
on these shoes i don't think that many people will care but that's just definitely something to note
because this pair right here resembles the og style way way more but i think a lot of people
got more of a pair like this as well but i've also seen some people have the left foot look one way
and the right foot look the other way so that's just something to take note and pay attention to
i know i forgot to mention that earlier but now you guys know so let me know what you guys think
about styles cuts materials hype no hype prices you name it drop all the comments down below
i would love to hear what you guys have to say again i think this shoe is very undervalued
it's a great time to buy it you might even be able to get it for under retail which is a great deal
because 190 i know everybody doesn't want to spend 190 on a non-og colorway and all those
different things but either way this shoe is fire and that's i mean that's just my opinion
but i really like these so i hope you guys enjoyed this video i got a ton of videos coming this week
