today we're going to be taking a look at the pine green air jordan 3. i think this sneaker
is extremely slept on and we're going to be breaking down this sneaker and explaining all
of it to you in today's video and if you didn't know by now my name is dj and this is the dna
show so like typical fashion we always start with the history first and then we go into breaking
down the sneaker but first we need to get these things out the box looking at the lid of the box
you have your newer style air jordan retro three box we have been seeing this trend with the recent
retro threes they have been going with the accent or dominant color of the sneaker for this part of
the box and then on the front end they have always stayed consistent with the elephant print so as
you know pine green which gives us a green box and honestly i'm not mad at it let me know how you
feel about the new boxes going to the size tag it reads air jordan 3 retro black pine green silver
white retail 190 bucks flipping open the lid of the shoe you have your same elephant print paper
right here and then you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay first impressions of this sneaker
bruh these things go crazy later in the video we're going to be showing you guys the results
between the pole if everybody thinks this shoe is fire or trash so make sure you stick around
into the end to check that out as well now what we need to do is talk about the shoes that we'll
be using in the comparison for today's video two sneakers that i have selected is going to be the
black cement air jordan 3 simply because of the color blocking in the pattern and then we're going
to go with the cool gray arizona 3 because of the materials that they use on the upper on this one
i want to see if it's comparable to this one as well so in typical fashion we're going to start
from the bottom and work our way up let's go ahead and get into it starting with the outsole you have
your classic air jordan 3 outsole gray vibes with the pine green hit here on the ball of the foot
and on the jordan logo here on the back of the foot with the white hit in the center and the
back as well wrapping up to the midsole you have a white here on the toe cap and then you have white
on the bottom half and green on the top half of the midsole all white air unit and then the upper
all the upper these remind me originally of the sample suede black cement 3 that surfaced on the
internet probably about 10 or 12 years ago i remember that day it might have been nine or
years ago i don't know either way it's been about 10 years since that surfaced on the internet we
saw that version it was crazy everybody was going wild we thought we would get it we never have seen
it ever since so this is the closest that we're gonna get to that as of right now because of
that i've been anticipating that shoe for so many years i love this shoe because of it because this
is what we got and this is all we could get but again i'm asking you jordan brand please
make the black cement 3 in a suede version y'all did the bread one and a patent leather might as
well do the blacksmith man 3 and display that's all i'm saying all right y'all back to the video
now when it comes to the upper the air jordan 3 there's typically two things that i always look at
the overall color blocking pattern and then the shape and mold of the sneaker so when it comes
to color blocking as you can see with these two sneakers side by side or above or below each other
you can clearly see that the color blocking pattern is very very similar except for you
have a pine green here around the back and on the ankle instead of the gray that matches with
the gray upper but overall it definitely gives you those black cement vibes with this shoe now when
it comes to the materials of the sneaker when you put these two side by side and feel the materials
honestly the suede this almost feels like a felt not even actually like a suede but more of like a
felt type material they're also going with that og vibe and that og cut when you look at the tongue
and everything around here how they folded it back compared to the previous retros where they
had the bigger poofier tongue with the wider ankle around that you're gonna see definitely
a more narrow ankle with less padding here on the side of the foot and then the tongue folded back
giving you that og 1988 vibe when jordan brand decided to bring back that 1988 cut honestly i
was extremely happy and i'm so happy to see that they're staying consistent with each and every
release that have come out in the past couple years so there's definitely a couple details
and differences between other retros we have seen this on previous ones as well in the past
but one thing that i can say is look at the green eyelids here on the front end the top
end of the shoe the green around the collar on the back end and then you have the green paint
going all the way throughout the top half of the midsole compared to your og style where it's just
only on the back half of the shoe now we have seen this paint pattern before on previous air jordan
3 retros if you know what shoe i'm talking about drop a comment down below in the comment section
and if you don't know make a guess but at the end of the video i'll show you guys one that does
have this same type of midsole now going to the back end of the sneaker you have your air jordan
vibes right here on the tab all black tab with the gray air jordan right here with the jumpman logo
compared to the nike air and again i'm not mad that it doesn't have the nike air because this
is a retro plus type colorway so to see this shoe without the nike air i'm completely fine with it
let me know how you feel down below in the comment section another detail that i want you guys to see
as well when it comes to the tongue you have your all green stitch with your gold embroidering right
around that and honestly i like the little touch to it gives it that little pop now one thing that
i can say that i wish they would have done but we didn't see that on this shoe in particular there
is no retro hang tag on the side of the foot right here or there is no extra additional pair of laces
retail was 190 dollars but we have seen retros come with additional laces or with hang tags
at that price point so for me i feel like you know it wouldn't hurt to throw you know a pair of extra
white laces or some green laces or something like that one other complaint that i might have that i
don't know if everybody notices or not but i think me being a sneaker head that really pays attention
to the details and the materials and everything like that typically when you have a suede sneaker
when the shoes are sitting in the box like this the tongues actually rub on the toe of the foot
and it leaves an imprint in a line that goes over the top of the toe of the sneaker so if you look
at these two shoes right here you can actually see a line that goes over the top of the toe
and that's something that's just gonna naturally happen over time just from the shoes moving around
in the box being shipped and you just call it kind of like a factory defect that's kind of created
naturally because it's being in the box like that so the only way that they can potentially fix that
is stick a piece of paper between it so that it doesn't directly rub with it but at the same time
it still could potentially happen again i know i might be elaborating a little bit too much with
that but i know that is something that a lot of sneaker heads really do not like to have on the
front of their shoe because when they look at that toe down they see that line across the toe
and they're like bruh these are brand new and they look like there's something wrong with them so i
completely understand how y'all feel and i just wanted to express that for the people that don't
know exactly what we're talking about it jordan brand if you guys are watching this video yo
make sure you guys do something to figure that out because i'm telling you us sneakerheads
we're struggling bruh we just don't want that line on our toe now it's time to talk about
prices opinions fire trash resale you name it all those different things let's get into
it i have definitely heard a lot of people say that they like this sneaker but i haven't heard
any type of demand that would drive the price up simply because of the availability of the sneaker
now if you give this shoe time because it is air jordan 3 this could easily be a 300 325 350 dollar
sneaker in a couple years and i think that could happen over time but right now the shoes going for
190 bucks retail and resale is like 220 210 after fees you're getting the same money back unless you
could sell it to somebody else without paying the fees and try to make 20 30 40 bucks off the shoe
so for me i think like i tell everybody if you want to get it get the shoe for your collection
you could potentially find these maybe i don't know if i want to say that let's just say it
anyways you might be able to find these at a nike outlet store in due time if you really
want to get this shoe and you think you can get a good deal on it be patient don't go pull that
trigger i think you can find them for a little bit lower or around retail or maybe a restock or you
know on the shelves at some random foot locker in the middle of kansas or something i don't
know i accidentally purchased three pairs and for those that never believe me as you can see i got
two other fares right here so we'll talk about the giveaway later in the video because i'm gonna just
give one of these away to y'all let me know how your experience of this release went down below in
the comment section now let's see what everybody thinks is issue fire or is this you trash

polls and see all the results here on the channel this is what everybody said 76 of the people chose

the perfect shoe for a game day you know what i'm saying like you can easily switch the back tab and
switch the logo on the tongue and next thing you know you got a dux pe and these things would be
fire and then people would be like oh bro why does that shoot 15 000 like this could easily be a pe

question that i asked earlier so please take notes because you could be in the comment section with
the right answer all you gotta do is say true blue threes look it up if you don't already know but
the true blue threes have the same midsole pattern when it comes to the all blue on the top with the
white on the bottom this should just switch with the green that's just a little fun fact for some
sneaker heads that didn't know and there might be a couple other with some different midsoles so hop
on google do your research and learn a little bit more about the jordan 3 because it's definitely a
dope iconic sneaker and hopefully i helped you guys learn something all right y'all i'm out
