We love it when Jordan Brand gives us a retro that we actually want! While the brand takes its time teasing the fans with a not-so-quite-retro, we finally have an actual drop now. Coming back all the way from 1988, Jordan 3 Black Cement will celebrate its 36th anniversary with us! So, let’s dive into the drop and find out everything you need to know about it. But before you do, make sure that you know how your Jordans will fit! And if you already know your sizings, then let’s get down to it, shall we?
The year is 1987, and Michael Jordan is lowkey considering leaving Nike. But that all went on hold when Tinker Hatfield came with his groundbreaking design of the Air Jordan 3. It was so good that Michael Jordan decided to actually stay! In fact, these babies were pretty groundbreaking in 1988. From the visible Air unit to the elephant/cement print and the Jumpman branding, it was perfection! And one of the first colorways that we got was the Jordan 3 Black Cement. These babies were so successful that they sold out almost immediately.
If you need more proof of how popular this colorway is, let’s take a look back at all the retros. The kicks actually retroed four times, in 1994, 2001, 2011, and 2018 on the 30th anniversary. Every time these babies sold out like there’s no tomorrow, and they’re all pretty valuable on the resale market. And today, 36 years later, the kicks are still as relevant as ever! They’re back in their classic black leather, grey elephant print, Nike Air branding, and red details. Oh, and rumor has it that this iteration will be the closest to the 1988 OGs. You can do with that information what you want!
So, the Jordan 3 Black Cement will hit the stores on November 23, 2024, and will retail for $220. We’re early to the party, but you know what they say; to be early is to be on time! After all, with popular releases like this one, it’s never too early to be ready. Not only are they pretty cool to flex, but they’re also worth investing in and flipping! If you’re here to snag a pair and wear it, this styling guide will come in handy. But if you’re thinking bigger and wanna cop in bulk, read on to find out how you can do it.
We all know that buying Jordans (or any popular kicks) for retail is pretty challenging today. While many are saying that the sneaker industry is dying, we beg to disagree. This poses the question: how can you give yourself an edge when it comes to scoring hot kicks? Well, the answer is simple… Get a sneaker bot. And don’t limit yourself to one place like Nike SNKRS, dream bigger with an all-in-one sneaker bot!
An all-in-one bot like NSB3 can help you on every sneaker drop, and even beyond that! It supports Nike SNKRS, Adidas, and more than 100 Shopify sites. Collectibles? Toys? Kicks? You name it, NSB3 helps you get it! So, if you’re ready to get into the world of retail arbitrage (one way or another), this is your sign to do it. All you need to do is get your NSB3 key today and start your botting journey. Godspeed!
