QC will always be an issue when you make shoes 6 months prior to their release date including how many they made. The internet is just hyping regular BS but because it's the black cements, everybody and their mama spooked
What everyone is not paying attention to is the stock price…. It’s had the lowest earnings in decades last quarter. Fired CEO that created SNKRS app. . Nike seems to be releasing everything to move the stock needle
I doubled up and im gonna rock mines no matter what yall just know the resellers games coming to a end slowly dieing down cause shoes are now sitting in stores
Yup! Alot of B grades out there. The elephant print material of the left pair of my shoe had a symmetry issue at the toebox. It was wrapped around properly but towards the toe, it dipped and came back up around the corner. Also, from the top view, all 3 curvatures were slightly askew at the toe. Lastly, the right tongue keeps shifting and tucking itself inwards towards the right making the jump man not in the centred when I'm laced up. I've always got the realign it. I GOT MY PAIR FROM THE NIKE WEBSITE. I HOWEVER LOVE MY PAIR TO BITS AND ID KEEP CARING FOR THEM TILL THEY FALL APART. IM GETTING A SECOND PAIR TO STOCK.
Only thing I can think is, It’s really that many pairs people was talking about and that’s why we got so many flawed pairs because it was really massed produced 🤷🏾♂️
I got a ship to me and pick up and both are perfect. Chefs kiss. They did that with the Olympic 6 with the sale. It was release day and a site had 40 dollars off.
@tb5898 I won them online so I could take them to the store here. The problem is, I've done that with another pair before and don't want them "seeing a pattern." 🤣I know I'm over thinking it.
@ i was in the same boat but ended up getting a discount from Nike because my pair had defects so I’m taking my others back to Hibbett. I don’t care what they think 😂😂
Got a size 10 for my son. Yep, one elephant print on the rear is lighter and also sits a little higher. Other then that its almosy flawless. He still loves em and rockin it.
Glad my pair looks good. My pair looks like the 2018 print both shoes have dark elephant print which I'm not mad at may double up but definitely check them out before I buy them.
Bro said the B-grade Cement 3’s😂👀shid crazy man. The crazy part is karma is a mother. There sales my start dipping because of that one smart ass error. That’ll have people really questioning if Jordan brand is still worth spending hard earned money for, when you can go with New Balance, Sacony, and other options.
My shock drop pair was flawless ! My JDs double up was ok. There was a nasty glue stain on the mid section which I was able to scrub off , but still a 9.5/10 quality
What you gotta do on release like this is buy two get the best pair then send the other one back or buy three and send 2 back so you can pick the best and get your money back
I was worried getting mine shipped from JD Sports but to my surprise not a single quality control issue and the cement print on mine is clean asf perfect. So I got really lucky.
I looked at my pair and compared them to my white cement 3s. The elephant print was consistent throughout and looked good. I did have some glue stains on the plastic eyelets by the collar on one of the shoes, and the leather there was a little pinched. Not enough for me to return them, and I'll rock them for sure. But definitely shoddy quality compared to past releases I've received.
It's insane how JB tried to give people the original version as if that's what we wanted. Seeing them vs the '18 pair is like the evolution chain of BCs. '18 is soooooooooo much better. The '24 look like the Payless version
I give up, I exchanged my black cements 3 different times, if it's not the leather where one shoe is tumbled and the other shoe is smooth, it's the elephant print, if it's not the elephant print, it's the cut of the leather around the toebox being uneven, if it's not the leather being uneven around the the toebox, there's a scratch on the leather, this was the worse release in Nike history 😂
My shit hot, but I picked up at the JD sports at the mall. Not perfect, but cool! What is crazy is that I have a B grade pair of reimagined bred 4’s and they flawless.
Quality was so bad I had to cop 3 pairs to get a good double up. Luckily 2 pairs came in pretty good, and I’m returning the 3rd one which was HORRIBLE.
@@FlightAcademyKickz Thx Flight, if I get my size 11 for 170 correct or did you say 151? $50 on retail is 170 either way 151 or 170. You definitely have an apology, right now you get a thank you.. What makes me not even wanna believe it is the fact I bought three pairs at 2:20 each on Saturday . Smh good pairs though. I got em at 2 Diff Hibbetts & 1 DTLR I SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO COMPARED TO THREE PAIRS AND BORROW SOMEBODY SNEAKERS PARIS, AND SEE IF THERE’S ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE THREE PAIRS AND THE ONE SNEAKERS PAIR. Caps just activated w out my help, weird.
I'm not gonna lie, Nike is sending B grades for sure bro 7:49 Cause I got the fear 4s in the mail straight from SNKRS.. tell me how it came in and one tongue was wayyyy higher up than the other one... then I look at the toe box and that shit look hella mushed up on one side only on some fupa sh🤬t... I went to the Nike store in soho the same day and exchange them for a decent pair the same day.. they were in stock fully in the store but not online..
Where Bostic and others has me confused is that you paid a premium of 220$ for a OG BC3 understood. Then you get the pairs in make videos of the unboxing complaining about the QC then say I’m still keeping them? I’m so confused. So what is it are you happy with these or not? They could sell you guys C grades and you’ll go through the same process!
😅 we just don't wanna believe these are B grades cause we drink the kool-aid (OG Flavor). Yeah saw the Jumpman Bostic video, his pair had 2 MAJOR ISSUES not just the elephant print. I felt bad for him after watching his video. They screwed him over
I must got a B grade on shock drop from Nike my jump man is messed up the elephant print is bigger on the front of one shoe big glue spot on the elephant print the air on the back goes in to the elephant print on one shoe the paper didn’t come with mine Nike got me
My pair came in perfect
Me too but I don’t doubt people got pairs that were completely asss
I third this. I don’t know where people are getting theirs.
Says the guy in every comment section LMMFAO
Everytime I pull mine out the box I see something new. I’m done looking at em
Hahaha same here. Mine came a bit flawed but whatever, im going to wear them anyway.
People complaining about a mass.produced GR need to step off and get your money up and buy P.E.s , F&F pairs or samples if you want flawless pairs 😂
Right...theyre only $240. Why would people hold Nike accountable for their hard earned money?@@chrisagee4272
What you said don't even make sense, you spend your hard earn money, your sneaks shouldn't come fuck up @@chrisagee4272
What stores had them at $160??
I’m chilling! My 2018 jawns are very official
Discounting due to crappy QC, nobody wants to pay for a left and right shoe being jacked up or not matching
QC will always be an issue when you make shoes 6 months prior to their release date including how many they made. The internet is just hyping regular BS but because it's the black cements, everybody and their mama spooked
My pair looks good
Same
I'd take a 110 b grade double up 😂
Happy Thanksgiving Bro! 5 sides
Yes all y’all return so I can double up
Facts 😂😂😂
You can double up for well under retail…
My pair came in flawless, if they do go on discount ima just cop another pair or two and hold them
That SnapBack is holding on for dear life
😂 you a savage
@ 🤣🤣
💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Check the production dates on the shoes. They may not match up.
My left shoe production date end on 5/27/24 and the right ends 5/28/24
Left and right shoes are not produced at the same time sometimes not the same place 😮

They’re discounting them because they gotta move em. The Columbia 11s about to come out too and brick so they got too many shoes to sell
I pray them legend blues go on discount 🙏🏿
I doubled up and im gonna rock mines no matter what yall just know the resellers games coming to a end slowly dieing down cause shoes are now sitting in stores
Facts! Plus if they are B-grades, ain't nobody paying those crazy re-sale prices for them.🤣

I GOT MY PAIR FROM THE NIKE WEBSITE.
I HOWEVER LOVE MY PAIR TO BITS AND ID KEEP CARING FOR THEM TILL THEY FALL APART.
IM GETTING A SECOND PAIR TO STOCK.
What website got em at $150. Cause I need a discounted pair in size 12
NIKE ALWAYS DOES THIS UP ON PRICE,DOWN ON MATERIALS.SMH
Which stores??? So we can cop

Man that shoe perfect smh my pair perfect too
Only thing I can think is, It’s really that many pairs people was talking about and that’s why we got so many flawed pairs because it was really massed produced 🤷🏾♂️

My shock drop pair was definitely B grades and to see them on sale already is a problem. $220 is too much for these issues
Where are they discounting them?
💯💪🏽😆👀

Good mines straight as an arrow jack
I got a ship to me and pick up and both are perfect. Chefs kiss. They did that with the Olympic 6 with the sale. It was release day and a site had 40 dollars off.
I tripled up by accident. I don't want to take my DSG pairs back to them because they been lookin out.
Just take it to another one 😂

Should put em for him for Christmas got mines the cements and Columbia 11s with the rest of the gifts already put away 😂
I seen pairs in the outlet here in Wisconsin already..🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Oshkosh😂😂
@sanman711 No the nike outlet in pleasant prairie WI
My pair is looking good but the overall quality build of the shoe is cheaper than fire red and the white cement that just came out
Black CEMENT 3'S 2011,STAND UP!!!
Got mine yesterday the alignment was perfect but the elephant print one was lighter than the other
3 pairs i received and I’m disappointed with the quality control. But I’m thankful I got the 2018 pair. So I’m good at this point.
Wow 4 Pair
s of bc 3?

my pair is perfect to me personally and there is a issue with "MOST PEOPLE" with every retro 3 cement release lol never fails
Got my refund today, I’m scared to order another pair later, my grey part where the laces connect had 4 dot lines then the other had 5 dot lines?!
My shock drop pair was flawless ! My JDs double up was ok. There was a nasty glue stain on the mid section which I was able to scrub off , but still a 9.5/10 quality
Happy holidays 😊 man
While everybody crying about the black cement.I got the green glows with better quality and cheap. Plus on feet you can't tell the difference 😂
That’s why I passed on them I still have my 2018 pair is way better
Good discipline

Mines going back to Nike tomorrow morning my quality control is bad

@jakubantal2546 tbh my scratch wasn't that big but it was still noticeable, never had these issues with the 2018 release, smh
1. Trash QC
2. Black Friday Bro

I get mines friday they better be perfect or somebodys getting ddt in black fri omm
Nike doesn’t care that the shoes are B grade if everyone buys & keeps them. Especially with some of the Frankenstein shoes I’ve seen.
Is the jordan shoe game on a decline
What sites had them on-sale?
No where this cap
All cap
Check sole links on X scroll down and you will see the link!!! Then you can come back and apologize

I checked right before I did the video and it still was a few sizes
I can confirm they have been in outlets due to returns.
Those oxidized green 4's are prime
Mines are on point
In Canadian those were like $316 lol😂
Things that make you go 🤔 hmm!!!!!!
It’s good the price dropped. 💯
What does it mean by B grade?
The fear 4’s are under retail
Not B grads but C. Most of the B grades came out in that shock drop.
Def miss match shade on my elephant print.... much respect...sniper kicks got a pair from Nike outlet for $112 mens size.....smh
Ding ding, correct
🤔 I can see Nike doing that! Crazy that pairs are 160-175, its insane! Not even a week yet
Where at
Need that hat 🔥
My shock drop pair was good 🎉
Idc because I didn’t have any tbh so I needed em
Take’m back and buy the discount shoe
No way that’s cap 🧢 somebody was reaching for sure NIKE wouldn’t allow it or that retailer is not taking that LOSS
I'm not gonna lie, Nike is sending B grades for sure bro 7:49
Cause I got the fear 4s in the mail straight from SNKRS.. tell me how it came in and one tongue was wayyyy higher up than the other one... then I look at the toe box and that shit look hella mushed up on one side only on some fupa sh🤬t...
