I'm 45, had the '89 Fire red 3's. I have all three of the "remastered/reimagined" 3's and honestly, to rank them, I need a remastered Tru Blue. And I don't think I have a complete set until I get them.
The 2022 fire red 3 is best made of the 3 , it’s perfection. I love the black cement three but people don’t realize he wore it in one game EVER !!! He wore the White Cement 3. I don’t think more iconic moments came in the black cement then in the fire at three he never even played an official game in them. He played one game in the All-Star game. He was MVP, but he put up 50 pieces in the fire reds in the 88 playoffs , 3times ,and then he wore them for the start of the 8889 season where he dropped 50 another 3times.
Yep, this. Don't understand the hype the black cements get when the white cements and fire reds took up most of his playtime in the model. Hell, even the true blues got more screentime on his feet than the black cements did
I think the black cements are more iconic due to how much mj promoted them in his nike run with spike Lee and the whole Mars Blackman persona. This colorway also stands out the most amongst the 4 ogs due to it being the only black base model. Which is what typically gains the most popularity (ex banned 1s, bred 4s, black infrared 6s etc.)
@ 1. White Cement / Black Cement (on any given day interchangeable) 2. Fire Red 3. True Blue All 4 are in my top 15 OG colorways of all time the AJ three is the perfect Sneaker to me, as far as innovation. I prefer leather to any other material and it was right after the three they switched to the durabuck. I’m gonna have to start tagging you in some more stuff DJ I don’t know, I thought I tagged you in picture of me with the white cement 4s in 89 real time picture .
These two men are a class-act! I really enjoyed getting to speak to them @ SneakerCon San Antonio, we closed the event out. DJ, I have been rocking the tee you gifted me. I will be rocking it on my next deployment, too. God bless you and your family.
Also, the most worn pair for me has been the Re-imagined 3's. I have never owned a white cement 3 before that pair. Always sold out before I could secure a pair. I got a decent pair of Black Cement 3 after 4 pairs purchased. Too many defects!!!
As a og at 54 my first ever pair of 3's were the original 1988 fire reds so I gotta be bias lol. I got my first ever pair of black cement 3's this year and I'm glad to have both. Sold my reimagined white cement 3's earlier this year since the QC was bad. Fire reds all day for me. Great video and review guys!👍
I would take the white cements first - MJ wore them the most and I think they’re the most versatile to rock. 2nd black cements- those 2 are way above 3rd (fire reds) and 4th (true blues - MJ never wore those until a version came out during his Wizards days). Love the video!
I'm a 3s guy since I started collecting, I have 15 pairs in 5 years. It's top to bottom White cement, fire red, black cement and true blues. And I don't think I'll change it even when they retro the TBs. Keep up the good work guys🎉
Krazy you did this on the 3'$, i just got a pair of fire red 3'$ yesterday 12/22/2024 from ebay, was patient for 2 years. But i had to grab them, like literally, fedx pulled up, i opened my front door, dude said damm and i said, " i got the shoes! " 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍✌
1. White Cement 2. Black Cement 3. Fire Red 4. True Blue All four are iconic colorways though, so being 4th is still one of the best ever haha (hopefully TBs get a proper retro). But man the Fire Reds are genuinely underrated given how well they’re crafted! Also why does your dad hate the White Cements so much 😂 (he was trashing them in the Reimanged ranking video too)
1. Black Cement 2. White Cement 3. True Blue 4. Fire Red True Blue 3’s have always been been one of my favorites if they come back in that OG shape it will definitely go up the ranks in most people list
Lol love when pops is in the videos!! For me CW3 is very sentimental bc I used to wear my pops CW3 to school in the early 2000’s and he didn’t know lmaoo. They were like a Size 11 and I was like a size 9/9.5 at that time and had to double sock so when they reimagined them I had to cop
25:0625:08 I agree 25:11 can wear both BC and WCR, both Cements can be worn anytime with anything. So versatile. But the black gets the edge for me but I the cut of the Fire Reds are solid.
My order is 1. White Cement, 2. Fire Red, Black Cement, 4. True Blue... As a kid growing up seeing Mike take off from the free throw line did it for me... Also, MJ did wear the True Blue with the Wizards
In 1988 when the Air Jordan 3 released, the 1988 USA Olympic team played a game vs the NBA All-Stars. In that game Michael Jordan wore the True Blue Air Jordan 3's. footage from that game the picture is pretty grainy. The shoes could be mistaken for the AJ3 Cement. But he is wearing the True Blue's. There are photos from that game in which you can see him wearing them. I have never seen MJ wear the AJ4 Military Blue though in any game , exhibition, practice etc. And i am from Chicago and have watched MJ footage over the years that most fans outside the city have not been lucky enough to see. And never have I ever seen him play with Military 4s. For me my rankings are 1. Black 2. White 3. True Blue 4. Fire Red
DJ I have a question! Would you be able to make a quick fit with some off white? I saw your short with the lemonades and was wondering if you could keep going with virgils creations. If you could put my comment in the vid i would be eternally greatful! Keep it up man!
@@snakejohnfan2 That wizards PE is possibly the most underrated three in a long time the shape is perfect. The elephant print is perfect. The copper in place of the red makes it more wearable. . The fact that he wore it on court. I doubled up on that shoe and I have no regrets .
Got em all, love em all. How many points does the white cement loose for the sail mid sole and tab tho? So hard to rank them. #1 is the black cement for sure tho.
The true blue 3 is always gonna be one of my grails/favorites of all time...a big part of my love for Jordan's is from seeing the true blue 3 as a kid before i was able to buy anything...always said I'm gonna get the true blue 3s in my collection sooner then later just gotta find the right price/condition
For me the 3’s thru the 7’s are the best Jordans ever. Black is my color too. Nike gotta do the 7’s in the OG black and charcoal and not all black , aka the ‘Raptors’. But my all time favorite is the Jordan 6 black infrared.
3s have became my favorite Jordan. Easy to slip on loose laced and out the door. I used to love 1s but they are chore to put on sometimes for someone with a bad back 😢
The fire red three was actually the playoff three. 88 was the last year the Bulls wore white shoes in the playoffs after that it was black for the rest of his career. And he started the 8889 season in the fire red three he always did that he would carry a color weight from the previous year that wasn’t released to start the new year he never started then in the All-Star game he would break out the new silhouette.
The true blues are still under the 2016-2022 build mold… true blue needs an update for the current mold … the true blues are with the previous 2018 black cement class
This one wasn't easy at all lol 1. Black Cement 2. White Cement 3. Fire Red 4. True Blue The True Blue is my favorite and it's still ranked as bottom four smh (Jordan hardly played in that colorway just like DJ and ALL OL SKOOL JORDAN HEADS KNOW AND SAY) Jordan Heads have a creed and we swear by it *"If Michael Jordan DIDN'T PLAY IN IT, IT IS NOT A RETRO"* thank you DJ for emphasizing that I appreciate you immensely and happy New Year! 💯🗣️
Worst to Best Model: go chronologically (BC3 best) Colorway (OG; no “reimagine”): Fire Red, True Blue, WC, BC The REAL question: which AJ model had the strongest OG colorway lineup? AJ 1 (main 4 or 5, since there were like 12), AJ 3, AJ 4, or AJ 11
@@DNASHOW 1. Black Cement 2. White Cement 3. Fire Red 4. True Blue - However, if that true blue is done like the fire, red, same exact shape and improvements, then I put that ahead of the fire red … 🙏 I love these kind of videos
I think you need to separate the OG and Reimagine as they are different style/taste. 1. White Cement (OG not reimagine) 2. Black Cement 3. True Blue 4. Fire Red If selecting WC reimagine I would agree with pops (4th) as I don't like that slight yellowing.

White Cement 3’s For The Win 🥇
Black Cememt

White Cement Reimagined
True Blue
But, if they come correct with a proper true blue retro this list might change up drastically.
1 wht. Cement
2 blk. Cement
3 tru blue
4 fire red
Can’t wait until we get new true blue with OG cut, I hated bulky 3’s with a passion 😂
Bro the 2009 true blues that came out over seas actually look better than the US pair that dropped in 2011. Im glad you mentioned them
💯💯💯
Been waiting for another one of these "OG colorway" videos to come out
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Pops tripping
True blues 4th
Fire red 3rd
White cement 2nd
Black cement 1st
I would put them in the same order:
4. True Blue

2. White Cement
1. Black Cement
But, all 4 of them are 🔥!!
For me I’m going
Black Cements 2018s
White Cements reimagined
True Blues
Fire Reds
3s are hands down the best Jordan model. The colourways are always dope.

That wizards PE is possibly the most underrated three in a long time the shape is perfect. The elephant print is perfect. The copper in place of the red makes it more wearable. . The fact that he wore it on court.

Gotta do one on the 11s too 🔥
Already working out it 🙌🏾
Thanks for this my favorite Air Jordan that I wear the most Air Jordan three
BCs

My ranking would have to be:
1. BC3
2. WC3
3. Fire Red
4. True Blue
The black cement that came out right after the cool white cement reimagine were the two best
1st black cement 2nd white cements 3rd tru blue 4th fire red
I like the whites. It has a more mature vibe to it, so I gravitate more to it.
I feel it
Do a ranking appreciation video for the OG Jordan 5s and not sure if you done one already for OG 4s. But I’d love to see it.
The fire red three was actually the playoff three. 88 was the last year the Bulls wore white shoes in the playoffs after that it was black for the rest of his career.

The true blues are still under the 2016-2022 build mold… true blue needs an update for the current mold … the true blues are with the previous 2018 black cement class
White Cement 3s The Best OG
i might be crazy but:
1. fire red
2. black cement
3. white cement
4. true blue
I gotta go True blue Black cement White cement then Fire red 🔥
What if you did a non-OG ranking comparison on the Jordan 3s and/or Jordan 4s
White cements 3’s are as iconic as shell toes!
I got the free throw line white cement 3’s btw
The reimagined are first Top of the list. Then the black cements takes second the list then fire red third, and for last definitely true blue. 😅
Blue last red 3rd black cemenet 2nd and the white cement 1st
First thing first much loved to the new video and to ya 🫶🫶🫶🫶 .

1- black cement
2- white cement
3- true blue
4- fire red
WC3 last is crazy 😭😭
