today we're going to be taking a look at the air jordan 3 racer blue
this is definitely a sneaker i have been anticipating seeing in person
so let's go ahead and crack this box open and see what they're talking about
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not
know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show now if you haven't already make sure you hit that
subscribe button don't forget to hit the bell notification for every time i upload a new video
and make sure you hit that like button because that helps the algorithm oh so
much so first things first you know we got to talk about history first because
that's always important as to why the shoe is so dope and why people covet it so much
over the years and everything like that this one in particular is a new colorway it's an old model
that everybody loves the air jordan 3 has been around for many of years so obviously it makes
it a lot easier for people to fall in love with the sneaker with a new colorway like this but
these for sure have similar vibes with color blocking patterns that we have seen in the past
one shoe that i will definitely be referencing is the fire red air jordan 3 simply because the
color blocking is so similar to this version we're also going to be talking about the coloring of the
true blue 3 style the nostalgia behind the black cement air jordan 3 and then the cut and quality
of materials on the red cement air jordan 3. so with all that being said let's see what's inside
first things first this box right here is giving me space jam vibes and i am loving it i seen the
blue jump man as soon as i opened up the box when i got these in the mail and i was like
bro are these space jams so we have seen this style of box on the air jordan 3 recently in
the past couple years they're just giving it its own twist for the colorway and i'm loving
it reading on the tag it says air jordan 3 retro white racer blue black retail 190 bucks i ended
up hitting my pair off a sneakers app let me know where you ended up getting yours from i know a lot
of people said they got it from foot locker all different type of stores online locally they said
they were still sitting on shelves we're talking about more availability and pricing and value
of the shoe later in the video but i'm definitely interested in where you guys got your repairs from
cracking open the lid of the box you have your all-over print elephant paper right here and then
you got the shoe oh you got the shoe okay first impressions of the sneaker they look kind of cheap
they feel kind of cheap the ankle is very very thin this is interesting i don't know exactly
how i feel about this i maybe i'm just a little bit underwhelmed by this one so like we do in
typical fashion in the reviews we start from the bottom of the shoe and work our way up so
let's go ahead and get into it starting with the outsole you have your classic retro air jordan 3
style outsole all gray with the dominant vibe right here royal blue on the or should i say
racer blue on the ball of the foot and here on the jordan brand logo on the back of the foot
wrapping up to the midsole you have your all white with the razor blue vibes right here and this just
gives me air jordan 3 true blue vibes right off the rip as soon as i seen that midsole i was like
that's giving me the ultra true blue three vibes i lowkey need to have them just because of that
but when it comes to the overall color blocking of the sneaker i think it's very similar to the fire
red air jordan 3. if you see the photo right there i used to have a bunch of pairs in my collection
i low-key need to get another pair back in my collection the reason why i haven't is because
the paint starts cracking they're all old i didn't really like the retro the pair that came
out in like 2006 or whatever those man i tore those up the paint is just terrible i lowkey
wish i had a pair of fire red threes back in my collection i just been patient for them to retro
up here because i got a feeling they will over the next couple years okay back on topic i'm just over
here sobbing over my fire red threes that i don't have anymore but again anyways like i was saying
as you can see with the side by side photos right there they are very very similar when it comes to
the color blocking style and on there as you can see it's more of just an all-black pattern when
you see on the fire red three but on these ones it has kind of like this grayish kind of faded like
like it was almost like rubbed off or some type of feeling to it or whatever people want to call the
material i don't know it kind of got that ashy looking vibe to it but apparently these things
are 3m and they are reflective so as you can see from me flashing the camera on the shoe right here
the elephant print is 3m reflective now you may or may not see this you might have to have like
some crazy light to make it reflect so yeah i'll give it to jordan bam for that being a creative
idea and adding the 3m to the elephant print and everything like that but i don't think they really
even sold that that well and told the people that that was even an option and i'm not sure that many
people even knew that there was 3m on this shoe drop a comment down below if you knew that these
came with 3m on the elephant print so when i put the trublue 3 right next to the race from blue air
jordan 3 as you can see there are definitely some differences with the elephant front here
on the top the color of the blue the red eyelids here on the back the different color of the sock
liner everything like that but overall there are definitely similar vibes with this one as well
so i think it kind of gives you a mix of the fire red and the true blue three kind of coming
together to create this shoe or what came to my mind as well was the fragment friends and families
air jordan 3. that shoe is fire i know they are not exactly the same everything but it did kind
of give me those vibes and you know how everybody says the poor man version i feel like this is the
poor man version of that friends and family sample but i do know one thing for a fact these are my
high school colors so that means i gotta rock with them just because you know what i'm saying
alma mater vibes i know for a fact i would have been rocking these on game day with my jersey on
you know what i'm saying like walk into the locker room and everything got the with these calls again
not the truth the race or blue threes on you know what i'm saying i would have been vibing out with
the shoes so i think my younger self definitely would have really appreciated this shoe and that's
kind of what causes me to appreciate this shoe now even though i guess i can't say i wouldn't
wear the shoe pretty often i think the colorway is solid you can wear a lot of outfits with it i
feel like a lot more people wear reds than blues when it comes to like outfits simply just because
we always get red black and white when it comes to jordans so i could definitely see people rocking
that more but at the same time i don't see why there would be any reason why people would have
a hard time rocking this shoe let me know what you think about the colorway and if it's easy for you
to rock or not feel like it's not nothing crazy it's a very simple colorway and you can't really
go wrong with it but overall if i were to rate this shoe out of 10 honestly i was more excited
before it came out after getting it in hand feeling the quality just the leather everything
how how thin that i know they're saying yeah yeah it's giving that old 88 vibe and everything like
that with the cut and the materials and all the stuff but i don't know for some reason it's just
it just it don't feel right even when i feel the leather here on the red cement air jordan 3 they
just feel a lot nicer and they are the exact same cut and the style and everything when it comes to
the shoe but i think the material quality just feels a lot better on these and these honestly
aren't even the best quality when it comes to the leather quality on a jordan shoe and that
kind of brings up my next topic we have a lot of complaints about sneakers right a lot of people
are complaining about this shoe because they don't like the elephant print and even when we
talk about the black cement air jordan 3 a lot of people were complaining about this shoe because
these were just terrible like they did a great job adding the nike air i get all that
but the overall shape and the cut of this shoe was not good like these are literally just
everybody knows these are not good anyways like i was saying when it comes to all these shoes
that i'm referencing to there's there's always something we can complain about right so i think
yes i have a lot of things to complain about but at the same time like i said overall it's still
not a bad shoe it's not a problem having it i think it's great for the rotation even for the
collection in the long haul having it over the years i don't see a problem with it i'm
still excited to have it in the collection but i'm telling you right now these are definitely
not making my top 10 when it comes to my air jordan 3s alone and definitely not in my top 10
of my collection so you guys understand how i feel about the shoe now how do you feel about this shoe
if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can participate in the polls and see all
the results here on the channel basically what i do is i ask the same question do you think this
shoe is fire or do you think this shoe is trash and this is what the people said eighty percent of
the people chose fire and twenty percent of the people chose trash and i completely understand
those results like i said before it's still a dope shoe there's nothing wrong with it i think there's
just a couple things that could have definitely made this shoe a lot better so let me know how you
feel down below in the comment section what are your thoughts of the shoe were you able to pick
up this shoe and grab it for retail did you pay resale are you waiting for the value to go down
when you got the shoe in hand what did you think about the materials the qualities the colors
everything like that let me know how you feel so now let's talk numbers real quick like i said
earlier this shoe was retailed at 190 and it's currently moving for around 225 so some people say
well that's before fees and everything i get that but if you know how to actually sell shoes you
could still sell the shoe for 225 or 230 if you did in a local market or whatever and cut the fees
out and still be able to make a profit on the shoe but that's a whole nother topic because everybody
all they know how to do is sell on goat and stockx and think there's some sneaker reselling experts
we'll stay off of that topic anyways this shoe is currently hitting for around 225 somewhere around
there and i definitely think the shoe will go up over time it's gonna take a couple years for it to
actually you know spike to people want to make the big profit and all those different things but i
think it's a solid shoe for the collection you can get it at a solid price you might i can't no um
yeah let's just make the statement anyways you might be able to find these at an outlet one day
i don't know i do you got a feeling that these would hit the outlets let me know down below in
the comment section i don't know if that's like a i can't say it's a bold statement because i'm
not saying like these are going to hit the outlets but at the same time this is the type of sneaker i
could randomly see like some ig post and people be like oh they got these at the outlet i don't
know if the carmines are hitting outlets these definitely can hit the outlets so that's my two
cents about the shoe again let me know how you feel about these down below i hope you
guys enjoyed this i'm definitely underwhelmed by the sneaker i thought i was gonna have a lot more
good things to say i'm sorry i was being a little bit disrespectful but i just got to keep it real
i just was underwhelmed i wasn't happy you know i'm i'm still happy i'm still
thankful you know your boy hit on sneakers app got him for retail so i ain't mad at that
but at the same time i just thought it was going to be better all right y'all
