Times definitely are changing. These would have instantly sold out a couple years ago. We’ve gone from getting excited just to win a raffle to getting excited just to receive a pair without poor quality control.
I’m trying similar but honestly nothing has beat my 2022 fire reds. Might return them all. They seem to actually not be selling out so maybe we can get lucky and they go on sale
4:38 Wooooop, I like this 😂. Was my reaction too. Grabbed 2, one to rock and one to stock haha. Was able to get both pairs under retail too. What a time to be a sneaker head.
@ lol what!? You know different pairs n sizes fit different right? Even the same size sometimes from shoe to shoe. Why would we lie? Im usually tts on 3s but these felt pretty narrow vs the other recent ones i tried or got. Honestly dont think im keeping any of em. I have a feeling these are kinda gonna sit… mall today in LA had a decent stock and i was returning my tts pair
The quality on the size 9 is really lacking compare to the 8.5. I love the shoe but the ones I got really disappointed . Will be returning both pairs too
Congratulations on your super clean pair! Awesome! I got mine with a Black Friday discount, but I don’t have them yet. I hope they are as clean as yours! 🤞
This is dope man! I appreciate the reviews! I can't wait for the pairs that I've ordered as well at SNKRS. Hopefully, they'll be as good as yours because there are a lot of J3 Black Cement that have major quality control issues.
Cheers my friend, mine come in on saturday i hope i have a decent pair. I also copped the a ma maniere 3s the quality is insane, but i will definitely use these BC3 as my daily drivers
Hey bro, I'm looking to buy my first jordan 4s. I have the Blck cement 3's and wondering I should go for the Military blue's instead of the reimagined just because I already have a black sneaker. Looking to have 1 pair per jordan silhoutte..
Got my pair from foot locker. Elephant print came out looking as good as it could have. Bad glue stains on the toe and weird stains on the midsole were kind of disappointing. QC on my pair was about a 7/10
@@PMSchaftI agree. I have gotten only good pairs from Footlocker. I’m also more likely to hit on drops with footlocker. SNKRS must not like my account 😂
Mine were clean too! I got them from the SNKR’s app when they dropped and everyone I know that picked there’s up in store said the same thing. The only ones I’ve seen that were bad, were the other sneaker reviewers who got theirs early
You're probably right, that's why I'm not a fan of shock drop or early access pick ups unless I'm getting a rare item. Better wait on the planned drop have to say 👍
Mine check out but they both rock back and forth and they arent supposed to. Toebox looks like the have a crease in them not happy with my pair...if im paying 250 at finish line i want my pair Crisp...thats messed up you got to worry bout something like that..
Received my pair today and returned them. I’m sick of Nike and Jordan Brand scamming their customers. My pair was awful. I will not try to find a good pair… I’m good with the AMM3 and they are more comfortable.
So thankful I hit on snkrs app this past Saturday. I got my pair in the mail today and I did notice "preliminary" creasing around the pinky toe area of left shoe and inside as well, but not that serious to me. I bought these with the intention of using them as work shoes because I see them as "all black air force one's" in a sense. In filipino cultures, sneakers are referred to as "rubber shoes," like how my grandpa would say, especially when he pulled out his all black air force ones for his golden wedding anniversary (my uncle stopped him and let him borrow his dress shoes). But also, because they're mostly black, I like to think of them as all black air force ones, which can be associated as: "ROBBER" shoes 😂😂😂. It's an ongoing joke now with my family, HAHA. I already use the Jordan 3 midnight navy for work, but I'm looking forward to wearing these and making memories. Happy Thanksgiving in advance to you and your loved ones, have a great week!
That rubber shoes to robber shoes was pure Genius 😆 I am thinking the same, gonna be my daily if not my go to sneakers. I have the amm3 as the back up. Happy Thanksgiving in advance too brother, stay healthy including your family. 🔥🔥🔥
I’m happy for you, you were lucky with the QC! My pair was terrible. Stitching errors and inconsistencies between the two shoes. Even the orange Nike tag left an orange stain on the leather. No comment. I will return them an I ordered a second pair because for 210€ I expect something more. 💪🏻✌🏻
I will testify that the quality control on these cement 3s was the worse in Nike history and I'm not over over exaggerating but if I'm gonna keep it 💯 I still doubled up 😂
My pair is flawless, so mine are good. But with Nike it's like sometimes it's great and sometimes it's like dollar store shoes. I have made it a habit to just double check my pairs and if they are not good simply return them to make sure I only keep good pairs. But this one, flawless! The only reason I prefer the 4 over the 3 is that my feet are too narrow for them. But somehow these fit a bit more narrow than my other 3's making them way better. I will just replace the insole.
Hey man, seems like the late releases are good buys vs the early drops. Before I was all over 4s but now seems like 3s are taking charge, of course both are still my faves NGL.
My pair looks great but I almost had to fight over them. Won raffle on footlocker, get to store and they tell me that my name isn’t on the list of raffle winners. I started getting upset and then the manager quickly grabbed a size 10 for me from the back. Not a good experience
These things be sitting hard. My SNKRS pair was good. My Titan pair is kinda off. The left shoe's elephant print is noticeably higher. Not sure they'll accept a return.
General release Air Jordan retros rarely have quality materials/build. That said, I still buy pairs occasionally. Nowhere near as often as I once did, tho...
Because I’d heard horror stories, I bought multiple pairs (4+) and QC is terrible on all of them. I only planned to keep 2 and return the rest but I might only keep 1 just because the flaws are that terrible. Wonky elephant print on the toes, poor paint jobs on the midsole, terrible elephant print quality, unraveled stitching. Just terrible for a $220+ shoe
The smile on your face when you first grabbed the shoe says it all 😂 only few shoes in my collection have made me genuinely smile like that
Absolutely right, it's the joy of getting something you have been wanting for quite awhile and it didn't disappoint you 😉
Times definitely are changing. These would have instantly sold out a couple years ago. We’ve gone from getting excited just to win a raffle to getting excited just to receive a pair without poor quality control.
I can safely say that real sneaker people are too few vs the scalpers hence they sit. But i like it this way, easily obtainable.
@donjon2816 so many incredible shoes dropping from all brands!
People have to be selective.
Yes sir 😊 it’s great time to be alive 👍
Great point.welcome back to reality
This generation likes designers stuff
Love how you unbox it, take it slow and classy!
Aw thanks man, means a lot to me 🙏
Mine came in yesterday, excellent quality and condition 😎
Nice!! Congrats on your pair man 👍
I brought three pair, so I can make a good pair or two pair 😂
Same here got 3 pairs , the 1st pair is great so fingers crossed I get a second one and probably returning the 3rs one
Crazy!! Good thing I'm lucky this time 😆

So nice you got them under retail man. I hope the fear 4s too but it's unlikely here in EU the demand for 4s are still High vs the 3s. Congrats man!!
How they fitting you ? Got a 8.5 on the shock drop and they fit kind of tight. Thankfully was able to get a 9 on release day and the fit much better .
Need to do on feet First on the weekend 👍
Yeah I’m surprised they are tight on my tts but bib ordered 2 pairs a half size up too just hope the QC is ok or I’m just going to return them all
Stop lying both of you I got 2pairs and I'm size 12 and I still got wiggle room stop the lies there tts

Nice review sir. More power to your channel and YT contents. Is that true to size? What is your height sir? Planning to get one. Thanks
Thanks man! I'm 5'3 in a good day 😉
Can see genuine happiness when you open the box sir
Aw!! Thanks man! Was waiting for this for quite awhile. Congrats too!!
This is dope man! I appreciate the reviews! I can't wait for the pairs that I've ordered as well at SNKRS. Hopefully, they'll be as good as yours because there are a lot of J3 Black Cement that have major quality control issues.
Fingers crossed for you man!! If not nice just send it back and order another 👍
I’m glad I passed on these. I picked up the juniper crocs instead and no quality issues at all
Mine is Ok though 😉
Honestly I’m just tired of buying the same ole Jordan’s over and over lol
@@Travelkicks36 completely understand man, no worries. Brand fatigue is real.
In other good news, I did get my A-ma-Maniere Air Force ones! I’ll have to let you know how they are!

Mine was perfect from SNKRS. Surprisingly got exclusive access
Mine too but not EA though.
the right tongue is bent up like mines
Classic Nike stuff. Seldom i got pair that's straight AF.
mine was great 9/10 in qc, fav of all time
Nice that more are getting better qcd pairs 🔥🔥🔥
Because I’d heard horror stories, I bought multiple pairs (4+) and QC is terrible on all of them.

Too bad, find a better one they're sitting 👍

Should be poly.
Everyone is nitpicking because everyone is nitpicking.
Who's nitpicking?
If you had bought them and had an awful pair after spending 200> you would too.
