so i just got my pairs in the mail i'm excited to open these things up see what
they looking like compare them to a couple different shoes and then obviously see what
you guys think with the poles on ig so with that being said let's go ahead and get into it whoa
and here you have it the air jordan 3 blue cement
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not

owe so much and with all that being said as you've seen right here i just got three pairs of these
off of sneakers app all of my apps hit i was very very happy and i'm excited to have multiples of
this shoe i know people are kind of wondering like why do you want multiples of this shoe
because these are my school colors speaking of that let me go get my varsity jacket real quick
ah now that's much better okay so like i was saying i went to grant high school
and i know if this shoe would have came out when i was in high school bruh i would have been rocking
these on game day every single weekend there have been so many dope air jordans that dropped
with the royal blue colorway that i just wish that would have came out when i was back in high school
because i know i would have been rocking those and this is definitely one of those shoes so with all
that being said let's go ahead and crack this box open so you have your classic air jordan 3 retro
box and the reason why i said oh at the beginning of the video was because i was surprised i thought
they were going to come with a box like this similar to what the red cement came in with this
box with the red with the elephant print we've seen a lot of retro threes coming in box like
this with the flip up lid so it was actually kind of a surprise to see this shoe come with this box
because i was expecting something like this but in a royal blue colorway so looking at the size tag
we have air jordan 3 retro varsity royal varsity royal and then retail is 190 bucks opening up the
lid of the box you have your elephant print paper like always and then we got the shoe oh we got the
shoe before we get into the review two shoes that i will be using in today's comparison are going to
be the red cement or the unite air jordan 3 and then your black cement air jordan 3 with the og
style but this has a different cut so we're going to look at the cuts and everything on here and
then obviously the colorway and everything with this one because these look pretty similar but
there's a little bit of a difference on the back tab so first impressions when i see this shoe it's
my school colors you know what that means i gotta rock with it i gotta love it it's not the best air
jordan 3 colorway ever does resemble kind of like that we the best dj cali vibe you know with the
royal blue and everything it's my school colors i can never go wrong with school colors looking at
the outsole you have a dominantly gray outsole a white pod and a royal blue pot here at the ball of
the foot and then a blue jordan brand logo here at the heel of the foot now typically on the og cut
or og style we see the nike on the bottom compared to the jordan typically when they have the jordan
they have jordan on the back of the heel as well working our way up to the midsole you have your
classic color blocking when it comes to the air jordan 3 all white with the black here around
the back of the heel and then you have white hair around the toe and white stitch on the cap as well
working your way up to the upper classic like i said before this is literally the resemblance of
a blackstone man 3. all they did was switch the black to royal blue so you have your elephant
print here on the front and the back of the shoe and then your classic perforations on the tongue
and around the eyelets here at the top looking at the leather on the upper doesn't feel the
best i'm not mad at it it's cool got your tumbled leather here with a smoother leather here around
the mud guard all the way around the foot these come equipped with a pair of black laces also a
pair of white laces and a pair of blue laces so i'm happy about that typically you get a
hang tag that comes with the air jordan 3 but this time they decided to give you extra laces
so i'm at that you can switch it up freak it out a little bit probably might be a little bit too
much if you added the royal blue that's just me i don't know maybe the white might pop some more
i probably would just leave the black in there keep it simple and i don't really like releasing
my shoes that much so looking at the tongue in the shoe this is something that is very similar to the
red cement or the unc or anything that you would consider as the newer retros of the air jordan 3s
that also resembled the og jordans from back in the past so i love that they stuck with the og
cuts and the og style and then obviously you know the color blocking and then switching the jumpman
on the back on the heel tab which we'll get into right now because man i can't say it sucks to see
the jumpman on the back because we've seen this plenty of times on the retros over the years
but i would have loved to seen the nike air on the back right here that would have just been so fire
i mean they put nike air on the back of some shoes that i mean do they really need to do it you know
i'm saying like i feel like this could have been one that they could have done it on similar to
the back tab on the insole you have a royal blue insole with the white air jordan jumpman logo as
well a gray sock liner gray around the heel and everything is pretty simple you kind of get it
you know the vibes so now let's compare these to the unite air jordan 3 and the black cement air
jordan 3. so just looking at these two right here obviously you can tell it looks like the
exact same shoe the only thing that is different is the color is red and the color is blue and
then the back tab has the nike air back tab has a jumpman logo and just like i was talking about the
nike on the bottom here on the red pair and then the jordan on the bottom here on the blue pair
now that's basically the only difference but i feel like that's a huge factor which could
potentially change the value of this sneaker over time down the road i think this is a shoe that's
going to slowly creep up give it some time give it a chance but it's going to take a while even like
the katrina 3 or something like that you need it it was just oversaturated right everybody had the
shoe next thing you know the price is going up but it took a couple years i think this is that
same boat it's gonna take some time so if you're thinking about value and everything like that
i would say get it for a rocker or something like that you probably can find a great deal
on a shoe like this right now but if you hold on to a pair and you buy two and you know rock one
and hold one later i think you'll be able to get a good amount of money from this shoe down the line
because at the end of the day it's a dope colorway it's unique and everybody likes blue right i mean
some people say it's too much blue and some people might say this is just enough just what they
needed for me school colors i'm like bro i need these right so this is the type of shoe that falls
in that like i gotta have it type category again not my favorite air jordan 3 i don't even know
i don't even know if these are going to be in my top 10 air jordan 3s that i have in
my collection and they might nah there's some really good air jordan 3's over the
years i don't know about these but all i do know is it's not a bad shoe and i ain't mad
at them so now talking about the black cement air jordan 3 right this is like the grill the
classic the og that oh my gosh everybody has to have this shoe in their collection
but when it came to this retro right here when they made this version they just dropped the
ball the cut the materials all the stuff that was like you still had to respect it but they
just didn't do well on the shoe the shape the heel the padding everything around it the tongue like
all the stuff it just wasn't good the form and the style and the cut of this shoe right here
so much better so i have hopes and i have prayers that they take this shoe this style this cut
continue to put the nike air on the back and make us a black cement 3 that is done correctly so
judging by the photos that i have been popping up throughout this time i've been talking which one
do you guys like more do you like the red do you like the blue i don't even want to put the black
in the conversation because i mean everybody knows the blacksmith 3 is just better than both of these
it's a classic it's og these wouldn't be anything if it wasn't for these and if you don't put these
in a higher pedestal in a higher category no matter how terrible they did on this version which
one do you like more the blue or the red let's take it to ig and see what the people think if you
haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can participate in the polls in the future and
the results will always be posted here on youtube so we have 69 of the people choosing the red
31 of the people choosing the blue i completely understand why people like to read more i've been
hearing a lot of comments like the nike air that's what really pushed it over the top and some people
just say it's too much blue a lot of people are typically used to seeing all red shoes obviously
after the whole red october phase and then we saw literally every single brand coming with all red
shoes for like the past seven years now and it's kind of dying and then coming back and all that
different resurgence of the all red sneakers so i understand why people just kind of gravitate to
that but again i really like the blue i'm not mad at it but i would have to pick these just because
of the nike air and the vibes behind this shoe as well but i can't say these are too far behind it
if they would have had a nike air on the back i might have gone with these just because they're
a little bit different and it's not what we always get it's cool to have a change of pace sometimes
i have a lot of red shoes in my collection so it's cool to get another blue in there retail
on these was a hundred and ninety dollars and they're currently selling for around 250 bucks
so if you got them you could have made a quick flip made a couple bucks but i don't think it
would have been worth it to sell right now after fees and all the different things you really ain't
gonna make too much money if you sit on this shoe i think it will be worth something over time like
i said earlier in the video and it makes sense to just hold on to these it's a jordan 3. typically
jordan 3s with solid color blocking that look like an og style tend to go up in value if you think
about it hold on to it it's going to be worth it trust me uh you see i got multiple pairs i think
it's worth it or i could just be super biased because of school colors and maybe everything
i'm saying just don't even make no sense to nobody else i don't know so i hope you guys enjoyed this
