I'm a og at 52 and my first original pair of jordan 3's were the fire reds back in 1988. So glad to cop the 2022 version. Brings back alot of great memories! Go Bulls!
I just picked up the 2022 Fire Red. Phenomenal shoe, and I LOVE both the White cement reimagined and 2018 black cement 3s, but man…these fire reds are gorgeous. Thank you for this comparison, they really helped me pull the trigger on the fire reds.
While the black cement 3s are my favorite colorway (I had the 1994 retros back in the day), I have both fire reds and reimagined and I gotta go with the fire reds.
I definitely agree about the Fire Red 3s being slept on. I know they've sort of been forgotten since their release, but I personally love them, particularly because of their shape and the attempt to make them as close to the original as possible. There's also another Jordan 3 that released last year that exhibited this improved shape: the Desert Elephants. Like the Fire Reds and White Cements, the Desert Elephants have the slimmer tongue, less boxy toe, and similar upper. The Desert Elephant 3s are probably my favorite non-OG 3 that they released in the past few years.
Completely agree with you!! Makes no sense that the resell price for the AJ3 Fire Red is so much less than the AJ3 Reimagined White Cement. It proves how hype drives the market rather than quality. The AJ1 Reimagined Chicago reselling for so much even though there are more pairs of them than other AJ1s is stupid too. That proves that hype plays a bigger role over the market than quantity. It's crazy. Hype playing a bigger role than both quality and quantity is ridiculous. People more worried about what other people think than they are about being themselves. It's just sad. Adults acting like kids out here 🙄
We need a true blue and black cement retro soon with this mold, I absolutely hate how thick the elephant print is on the toe of the most resent retros and the fat tongues
Honestly I’m a fan of the thicker padding around the ankle. The black cements are my most comfortable shoe. Thumbs up on your video. Also I’m an OG sneaker head 47 years old , I could never afford these my Jordan 1’s I was able to get from Ross back in the day so it’s nice to be able to buy pairs now as an adult.
I took nothing but L's on the White Cements, but I'm not all busted up about it because I was able to cop 2 pair of Fire Red 3's when they dropped. I wear my Fire Reds at least once a week since they released, such a good shoe.
I’m glad i’m not the only one who thought the fire reds looked better, not color way wise but QC and craftsmanship wise. WC3 is the better color way in my opinion 🔥
I always hated the Fire Red 3s cuz of the Blacked out elephant print on the 2007 and 2013 releases. But man did they make the 2022 pair so Fuckin attractive and likable. I’ll have to say the Fire Red 3s are better between these two specific pairs only due to the fact that it’s ORIGINAL to the OG no aging straight OG like the 88s and that elephant being lighter is what makes me love them. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Its really hard to find this fire red today but fortunately we got a pair in tokyo for about 270usd😅. From philippines and i love this 2022 model😁. Btw, how much this pair in the US?
Hi sir thanks for all your efforts . I have a question please . I’m a sneaker Jersey head as well and right now I have to move and temporarily leave for 1 month in a hotel and put all the belongings in storage for that month . What will be the best/safest/smartest way to pack and store all my jerseys and sneakers( sneakers are all in its individual boxes )
I'm trying to debate what you are saying. So, you saying this is the first jordan 3 OG to Retro in this shape. 🤔 the first actual time the jordan 3 retro'd in the shape was with the Jordan 3 Chi/ Unite SE and the Jordan 3 UNC. Every Jordan 3 to release since 2020 has had this shape. Cool Grey 3, fire red denim, court purple, Muslim, Royal Cement, Georgetown. There is 4 Original jordan 3 colors, True Blue, Black Cement, White Cement and Fire Red. The jordan 3 fire red denim had nike air on the back. The chi 3 had nike air for the SE and Chi fore the exclusive.
I am about to purchase a pair of the white cement 3’s from goat and I was wondering what the sizing is like? Is it the same as the fire red 3s? Because lots of people were saying to size down half a size. Thanks
I have both. I feel like I should get rid of the Fire Red 3s because both shoes are two similar. Should I keep both the reimagines and fire reds? Or should I get rid of the Fire Reds?
Which quality do you feel it better, I got in a pair of the reimagined and the leather wasn’t as soft as expected. Do you think this is just inconsistency with leather or is this a universal thing?

What happened to the 88 pair?
@@khalifabdul-samaad6313 I played alot of basketball in my younger days and if I remember correctly my 88 pair finally fell apart sometime in 92.
I love my fire reds, they’re both nuts
The Fire Red 3's (2022) is the best 3's JB has put out to date they got the shape, EP and everything on point.

Yea those fire red of 2022 are the best ,, I was checking and yep 🔥.
I agree, the 🔥 red 3s are underrated!
Both of these 3’s are nice!! I think the Fire Reds are slightly better in my opinion.
While the black cement 3s are my favorite colorway (I had the 1994 retros back in the day), I have both fire reds and reimagined and I gotta go with the fire reds.
The reimagined 3s the best 3 to ever release after the OG. Perfect shoe. We need black cements to look the same.
I got "Fire Red 2022" and it really great!!!
I definitely agree about the Fire Red 3s being slept on. I know they've sort of been forgotten since their release, but I personally love them, particularly because of their shape and the attempt to make them as close to the original as possible.

I have those and never noticed it. Thanks
Agreed bro desser elephants my favorite shoe. This year.
I prefer the color and color blocking of the fire reds

The Fire Red from 2022 is it. Would have got the White Cement too but that pre-aged look is lame.

leo really love the finals jordan bulls jersey behind u and jordan 3 reimagined is fucking fire
Great breakdown - you’re ready to go with either pair with that tech fleece on! That would go crazy with the fire reds especially. Awesome video!
Thank You bro!!
I like the fire reds way more than the reimagined
These 3s Sneakers Are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This deadass my favorite jordan 3s🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love that bruh
I’m glad i’m not the only one who thought the fire reds looked better, not color way wise but QC and craftsmanship wise. WC3 is the better color way in my opinion 🔥
white cements look clean asf🔥🔥🔥
UNC 3 were dope IMHO
Fire Red is better

OG shape is the best… 🔥🔥
Hi sir thanks for all your efforts . I have a question please . I’m a sneaker Jersey head as well and right now I have to move and temporarily leave for 1 month in a hotel and put all the belongings in storage for that month . What will be the best/safest/smartest way to pack and store all my jerseys and sneakers( sneakers are all in its individual boxes )
For one month, you should be fine. Most storage places are climate controlled. That would be my biggest concern
@@KingLeonidas23 ok thanks . But all the sneakers in it’s individual boxes and inside what ? Big boxes or trash bags ?
@@marlo2853 which ever is easier to transport. I’d say boxes
@@KingLeonidas23 ok thanks bro
Why do these kill my achilles? Any others with the same issue?
I haven’t had issues

😂 I was comparing mine this morning. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

They fit true to size.
They done fd up jordan shapes so much can't tell what original anymore 😢
I have both. I feel like I should get rid of the Fire Red 3s because both shoes are two similar. Should I keep both the reimagines and fire reds? Or should I get rid of the Fire Reds?
Keep both but I see what you mean
They also used the og shape on Jordan 3 unite fire red 🔥
Which quality do you feel it better, I got in a pair of the reimagined and the leather wasn’t as soft as expected. Do you think this is just inconsistency with leather or is this a universal thing?
Lots of inconsistencies with the WC but I feel the fire is nicer quality
Appreciate it, I have a fire red and have the WC coming thanks for the review🙏
are they of good quality?
Hello. Do both fit the same?
Yea
@@KingLeonidas23 Both a bit bigger than other j3s?
@@Adrian-qx5gi no. TTS
Not a big deal but Fire Reds could’ve been better with that lighter shade elephant print
Could just be me, but the Reimagined run just a touch big IMO
Zoom way in on the shoes. Otherwise it kinda sucky watching you hold shoes that we can't see the details you're talking about
The new retros make previous retros look like bootlegs.
😂
