i hate that people say this looks outta place or i dont like the swoosh. Its the original concept brought to life not the final product known as the Jordan 3.
I COMPLETELY agree with your take on rewards programs. There have been many times when I wanted to use a rewards coupon at footlocker and have been told I can’t. It’s so stupid. Like I’m giving them like $100-$200... what’s $10-$20 off really going to hurt?
This is a dope comprehensive look with a lot of attention to the small details the history. These have definitely grown on me although I still don’t like the grey on them 🙄
2018 has been amazing for me. Got my grails, the Jordan 1 Shadows (2 pairs 😬) 2 pairs of Bred Toes which are an absolutely amazing sneaker. A pair of Jordan 3 Black Cements, a pair of Game Royal Jordan 1s, and last but not least 1 pair of Jordan 3 Tinkers 😩😎🔥🔥🔥🤟
THESE ARE DOPE! PEOPLE GOING TO REGRET NOT SCOOPING UP THEIR PAIRS SOME YEARS FROM NOW! THEY THE ONES SCREAMING GRAILS, HEAT, ALL THAT. IF YOU KNOW THE HISTORY THEN YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS TO THE CULTURE! 🔥🔥🔥 #FACTS
I saw mad people in Charlotte waiting all night on 3/23/18 to pick up this shoe... And a month later there was a mass release. Patience is a virtue!!!! Got them for Retail Price.
Lapstone and hammer came through for me today. After saying that the left over pairs was for in store only, they were nice enough to let me put in an email order today
Big fan!!! I peeped that Aztecs hat? I’m an SDSU student 🤘🏽 are u an alumni or just a fan? Just wondering? Keep up the great content and history lessons haha
Man I got the same amount of shoes you've gotten this year. The only difference is got Game Royal 1's, Hyper Royal 13's and Cool Grey 11 lows compared to your Tinker 3's, Seattle 10's and Red Suede 18's. By the way those Seattle 10's are super dope bro, I could definitely use a pair of those. Are you going after any shoes from the Best Hands In The Game collection tomorrow?
Yes. Got a double pair of Clay Green to pick up but need to trade it for Blue Moon or any of the other pairs overseas. I would love to complete the whole pack!
Your lucky man, i'm going to Shoe Palace tomorrow to see if I get an unclaimed pair of the Clay Greens. I took an L on the Blue Moons on the Foot Locker apps as I knew I would, anything that's real limited Foot Locker always punks out on me lol. I'm going to try to get the Blue Moons online while the prices are decent.
Foot Locker I usually hit with a 10 minute head start. I’m surprised I wasn’t even waitlisted. Ah well. Gotta try and pull some strings if I want to get this entire pack.
These are actually growing on me, and the lower secondary market price doesn't hurt either. For 3's, I actually prefer the True Blues and Fire Reds over the Black and White Cements. Unpopular opinion, I know.
It’s a good looking shoe but to be honest it’s not very comfortable long term. I wore a double pair to a show a few times and my feet were hurting after an hour. I have wide feet and the shoe fits narrow. I hope to see carbon fiber return in any capacity other than a plate in Jordan footwear.
MJO23DAN yeah they are pretty narrow. Once again a great video. You are definitely an important part of Jordan history and culture. Thanks for all your hard work.
So happy I waited too. I basically got mine on StockX the other day for basically retail+tax. Got mine for $230 shipped on StockX after taking an L on Nike SNKRS
My retail pair comes in today 🤟 was gona pass just cause I been buying so much heat this year in multiples, but ended up copping on Snkrs and I’m happy to have a pair in the collection! Dumb fire 🔥 great video fam
The quality on my pair is really nice. I like them a lot. I saw in person and had to get them. The store by me had 1 size 11 left so it was now or never
No because it is not an original concept and color block like this one “could’ve been.” I feel only originals should have Nike Air on back. The Katrina was originally a player exclusive of Derek Anderson of the Portland Trailblazers. It had the Jumpman on back. It was later modified and turned into the Katrina 3 we all remember today.
MJO23DAN I totally agree with you about that the Nike Air should stay to to Og “a la” the (atmos 3) I was annoyed with people’s preference to have it on that shoe because tho original PE didn’t have it, nor did the charity pair or the ones in the hall of fame museum and most of the sneaker community here in New Orleans prefer it stay that way.... I was fortunate to get the sneaker politics x Jordan collab Katrina 3s but I will still be grabbing the General release as well
MJO23DAN no I didn’t but frank cooker signed my pair I felt that was all I needed and the artist that did the work for Jordan brand lives down here so I could always hit him up to put the authentic green x on it
Great vid! Had the oppurtunity to grab these at flight 23 here At manhattan a while ago, was suprised they were sitting there along with the cool greys but i have to pass on them...
MJO23DAN I also collect J's in mid 30s so got to get alot of originals as kid , I usyalkybwear 11.5 in some of models that run small jus cause wide foot but 11 was my only option , you think 3s break in good ?
Ralph Cruz couldn’t tell you man as I have yet to hold the FTL 3 or JTH in hand. The quality of leather is good though. If you haven’t or you’re waiting for your pair to arrive, you won’t be disappointed!
These are ok. I won the Foot Action raffle yesterday and I was a bit disappointed with paint job on these. For a shoe like this I think JB could’ve done a better job with the paint on the midsole area. My OG 88’s is the perfect pair of 3s IMO.
I feel as if all the 3s this year will share the same brush stroke application. Did you pick up this year’s Black Cement 3? It had the same craftsmanship issue.
MJO23DAN I did and my pair looks pretty good. The leather on my Black Cement 3s is softer than these. Maybe I got a bad pair of Tinker’s & great one of Black Cement. Typical JB crap!
Answer your question about grey in the tongue,,,,naaaaaahhh,,,also the swoosh inside wont look good ,,,,my only complaint about the shoe is the grey spot on top midsole,,,look out of place,,but i love the shoe how it is,,pretty cool,,,,today i feel a kid again,,,1989 all over again lol
MJO23DAN I wanted someones opinion that is a big fan of both shoes like yourself. Some people hate on the Tinker, because of the swoosh. Which makes no sense to me, cause its not suppose to look like the 'normal' 3's.. Its Tinkers sketch before he took off the extra nike emblems. I also forgot to answer your question.. Im a bit thrown off by the grey on the tongue and lace area on the Fire Reds. It makes them look...cheap?
All good man. It’s just the way they are color blocked. I was just curious what people thought because someone at the Brand made the decision so we’re always going to have people disagree with placement. I’m looking forward to the Katrina 3. I’ll for sure do a review when I get them too.
I bought 3 of these... The quality was not good at all. Scratches in the leather, drastically different tumble from left to right, elephant print noticeably unequal from left to right on heels or front, shit..the height of the heels not the same, rands unequal, nike checks way higher and lower, threads not stitched down in nike checks, split in leather between elephant leather on toe and rubber. And, all thats not even counting the normal rushed paint jobs on the midsoles of 3s in general. Wanted to return all 3...Just frustrating that this "NRG" ..With such a great story as well... had such poor quality control and they didnt put more pride in their work. Held on to one for now.
Sorry to hear. Yeah the midsole paint job isn’t the best, but that’s the only flaw I had to deal with. I even picked up a second pair and it was fine. I probably got lucky.
Thought on Sean Wotherspoon saying stockx is selling fakes. Not sure if he got the directly, or these kids outrun them on and selling them trough round 2.
The Burn Survivor he responded on his IG stories and wasn’t putting blame on stockx. It’s people who purchase fake stockx tags and place them on fake sneakers. Stockx uses a QR system that matches the tags to the shoes they scan.
This shoe is sitting in my area & I honestly just don't get the admiration with this "remixed' model. I understand it was Tinker's original sketch & all but some things should just stay on paper imo. The final/OG version of the AJ3 is perfection. I just can't get with that goofy azz swoosh on the side & "NIKE" added to the shoe but to each his own
I wish I waited as I could’ve copped after work but I bought resale however it would’ve cost me more missing work than the cost but I got a retail double. I paid $400 CAD
But more to your point kids waited 14h here in TO 5 weeks ago and resold for $100 over box price. Yet today you could’ve bought 2 pair from 10 stores for ticket price
Yeah. Sorry you bought resale. I guess that’s why I made a list of older sneakers I wanted to get away from the new stuff a bit. Today though, the brand is really stepping it up and creating some exciting things.
i hate that people say this looks outta place or i dont like the swoosh. Its the original concept brought to life not the final product known as the Jordan 3.
cookmania you can still have an opinion on the shoe. I think it looks good but i wouldnt get mad if someone didnt care for it
Dope video. People will regret not picking these up
I COMPLETELY agree with your take on rewards programs. There have been many times when I wanted to use a rewards coupon at footlocker and have been told I can’t. It’s so stupid. Like I’m giving them like $100-$200... what’s $10-$20 off really going to hurt?

Was able to get a pair yesterday. Love the black elephant print
I saw mad people in Charlotte waiting all night on 3/23/18 to pick up this shoe... And a month later there was a mass release. Patience is a virtue!!!! Got them for Retail Price.
Just got mine yesterday on stock x. 192.... size 12. Also I'm glad finishline let you use your rewards on anything you want
Lapstone and hammer came through for me today. After saying that the left over pairs was for in store only, they were nice enough to let me put in an email order today
+1 on waiting on these. Copped from SNKRS app and they are DOPE!!!!
Big fan!!! I peeped that Aztecs hat? I’m an SDSU student 🤘🏽 are u an alumni or just a fan? Just wondering? Keep up the great content and history lessons haha
I’m alumni c/o 2003
MJO23DAN hopefully I’m class of 2020 🤘🏽

Foot Locker I usually hit with a 10 minute head start. I’m surprised I wasn’t even waitlisted. Ah well. Gotta try and pull some strings if I want to get this entire pack.
Wasn't feeling them at first but seeing them in person I like the air revolution vibe. More colorways would be cool like a black colorway
These are actually growing on me, and the lower secondary market price doesn't hurt either.
For 3's, I actually prefer the True Blues and Fire Reds over the Black and White Cements. Unpopular opinion, I know.
I know I'm late for the comment but I always wanted to know where do y'all get the pictures of the original shoe sketches at
Google
Stopped buying shoes for about 2 years now. You along with nightwing kinda brought me back. Good vid marv
I hope that’s a good thing lol. Sneakers are addicting man. Glad we brought you back to where you belong. 👍
A+ work as usual Marvin. I grabbed a pair as well from the local Shoe Palace and they are just too good. On to the Katrinas!
The CMFT 11's are some of my favorites. The carbon fiber mud guard would have been great on some mid 11's.
It’s a good looking shoe but to be honest it’s not very comfortable long term. I wore a double pair to a show a few times and my feet were hurting after an hour. I have wide feet and the shoe fits narrow. I hope to see carbon fiber return in any capacity other than a plate in Jordan footwear.

Not bad
Same. Had to cop

The quality on my pair is really nice. I like them a lot. I saw in person and had to get them. The store by me had 1 size 11 left so it was now or never
Do you honestly feel that the Katrina 3s deserves the Nike air on the back???
No because it is not an original concept and color block like this one “could’ve been.” I feel only originals should have Nike Air on back. The Katrina was originally a player exclusive of Derek Anderson of the Portland Trailblazers. It had the Jumpman on back. It was later modified and turned into the Katrina 3 we all remember today.

I was fortunate to get the sneaker politics x Jordan collab Katrina 3s but I will still be grabbing the General release as well
Did you get the spray painted X’s on them too? Not sure how I feel about it. Maybe if I had a double up I’d do it to one.
MJO23DAN no I didn’t but frank cooker signed my pair I felt that was all I needed and the artist that did the work for Jordan brand lives down here so I could always hit him up to put the authentic green x on it
Nice! Did you see my ComplexCon vid? There was a guy right behind me that secured a pair of the Top 3 AJ 1 that Frank left behind at the show.
2O18 pickup's are 🔥🔥🔥💯 congrats on your W tinker 3s. J.b killing it!!!! 💯😎
This shoe is so fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥 I was never able to get a pair from NIKE OR SNKRS ALL. I don’t like to buy from other ppl
Great vid bro as always!!!
His signature looks like my handwriting! Especially the extended virtical strokes.
Man I can listen to that music all day to @mjo23dan
Haha. I still don’t know what to call it. Chillhop? Jazz beats? Smooth hip hop? I love it though.
Paid $270 for my pair, and don't feel bad one bit. I love this shoe!
I think those are sitting in Jordan store Toronto
We’re can I get a size 9 under retail
I should have a link in the description of the video
Great vid! Had the oppurtunity to grab these at flight 23 here At manhattan a while ago, was suprised they were sitting there along with the cool greys but i have to pass on them...
Great pick up and review, glad I was able to cop them
Fire red 3s are my fav. Do you got the 2013 pair ?
Negative on 2013 since I had the 2007 already. Have a pair I’m beating up and they’re still doing well.
Good video fam... I cop a pair off the SNKRS app, received yesterday and I must say I like them a lot. ✌️
Glad I waited to picked up my pair from Footaction got the JTH coming tomorrow my three game is strong this year
I dig the SDSU hat. I'm from San Diego and I got a lot of friends who are students there.
Alumni c/o 2003 here
I put Black laces in my Tinker 3’s 🔥
That might actually be a decent change. Might need to see how that looks with mine.
Do have a pic?
MJO23DAN I also collect J's in mid 30s so got to get alot of originals as kid , I usyalkybwear 11.5 in some of models that run small jus cause wide foot but 11 was my only option , you think 3s break in good ?
yeah theyre leather so you should be good
Yeah 3s are pretty good out the box.
The mall that is around where i live still has them, i copped a pair like 5 days ago
yo marv, is the leather quality of the Tinker 3s better than the FTL 3s?
Ralph Cruz couldn’t tell you man as I have yet to hold the FTL 3 or JTH in hand. The quality of leather is good though. If you haven’t or you’re waiting for your pair to arrive, you won’t be disappointed!
New sub, I got the Tinker 3 when they first released. I love em
Thank you Angela for the sub! Enjoy your pair of the Tinkers!
These are ok. I won the Foot Action raffle yesterday and I was a bit disappointed with paint job on these. For a shoe like this I think JB could’ve done a better job with the paint on the midsole area. My OG 88’s is the perfect pair of 3s IMO.

MJO23DAN
I did and my pair looks pretty good. The leather on my Black Cement 3s is softer than these. Maybe I got a bad pair of Tinker’s & great one of Black Cement. Typical JB crap!
Dope pick up yea the leather is nice and plush
I used to have a pair of the 11 cmfts in the black n red colorway , Such a comfy shoe
Nice review. I could not grab these off the Nike app
Hard to get.
Love your vids bro!
Thank you so much for the support!
these are so dope imo i got 2 pair as well stoked
Mjo you are awesome 👏 and nightwing much respect ✊
Answer your question about grey in the tongue,,,,naaaaaahhh,,,also the swoosh inside wont look good ,,,,my only complaint about the shoe is the grey spot on top midsole,,,look out of place,,but i love the shoe how it is,,pretty cool,,,,today i feel a kid again,,,1989 all over again lol
Fam I wish I wasn't so needy LMAO nice bro. Very dope video fam
Tinkers are still unnecessary in my opinion. They are meh.
The JTH white cements are still the only ones i would get.
Just saw it in person here....gravitating already...
Where is the best place to pick these up after market
I use stockx.com
MJO23DAN have you ever got a fake from stockx
Nope
My pickups for 2018 is low also.
The Swoosh has no business being on the side of any Jordan model pass the 1,imo of course.
Got mine customized like Vic customs did on his pair. Nike messed up and sent me two pairs for the price of one 😂
:)))
Keep up the grind 😎👊🏼CenCalSneakers 🐻✌🏼
The shadows look mean!
Do you like these or the Hall Of Fames(Katrinas) more?
Will make that assessment when I have a chance to hold the Katrina’s in hand but I’ve always wanted them since 2006.
MJO23DAN I wanted someones opinion that is a big fan of both shoes like yourself. Some people hate on the Tinker, because of the swoosh. Which makes no sense to me, cause its not suppose to look like the 'normal' 3's.. Its Tinkers sketch before he took off the extra nike emblems.

My footaction still has these
LOVE THESE!
I just get em today yeeeeeeh!!!!! I won the raffle on footaction,,iam really happy with this shoe
These are dope hopefully ill be lucky to grab me a pair✌
I'm trying my best to like these but I just cant do it. Smh...
Maybe if you see them in person if you haven’t already.
Thank You for that. Cant wait to get my pair.
I got it for 208 I can’t wait

MJO23DAN 😅 so glad to hear this, pare. I’ve bought a few pairs from stockx already. That shit had me digging in my closest looking for flaws. Hahahaha
This shoe is sitting in my area & I honestly just don't get the admiration with this "remixed' model. I understand it was Tinker's original sketch & all but some things should just stay on paper imo. The final/OG version of the AJ3 is perfection. I just can't get with that goofy azz swoosh on the side & "NIKE" added to the shoe but to each his own
All good but if we never saw the 3 as it was on MJ, these would’ve been it so it’s really an unfair expectation for everyone to like these.
MJO23DAN Agreed...keep up the great content my guy!
🤣🤣 LOL, add the sauce homes
I wish I waited as I could’ve copped after work but I bought resale however it would’ve cost me more missing work than the cost but I got a retail double. I paid $400 CAD
But more to your point kids waited 14h here in TO 5 weeks ago and resold for $100 over box price. Yet today you could’ve bought 2 pair from 10 stores for ticket price
Yeah. Sorry you bought resale. I guess that’s why I made a list of older sneakers I wanted to get away from the new stuff a bit. Today though, the brand is really stepping it up and creating some exciting things.
they restocked recently
Skip the BS to 3:40 👍🏼
Or just watch all the BS 😉
MJO23DAN
naaaahhhh lol
lmao A SWOOSH ON A 4??? Yeah that would look 10 times as stupid as these with the swoosh. Other than the swoosh the shoe is clean!
in fact this tinker shoes save nike cause jordan stay at nike and not leave
nike
🔥🔥🔥🔥
That swoosh is terrible it does not belong at all.
💪
🤘💣
This sucked. It's a fukkin reward. Not fair bro.
