I feel Hiroshi Fujiwara wanted to make a Concord 3. It's a clean and basic cw but ultimately it's still a timeless Fragment collab and value will increase tremendously despite the recent tank. I'd buy now.
I think its kinda plain but seeing it on feet makes it look vastly better. I think the simple colors will make the shoe go with everything and you can’t go wrong with 3s added to your outfit.
@@EddieVantoni0 I totally understand what makes it valuable. The goal behind collabs is to capitalize off of the brand equity and cache of the collaborator. Thus, the billion dollar marketing machine that is Nike decided that the VALUE of this sneaker was $200. $800 speaks to desire. As a consumer I don't desire to have this shoe so much that I will pay 3-4x retail just to have it. More power to whoever does.
GzDatguy numbers never lie ppl do bro 😎 i wouldn’t pay resell for anything but there’s ppl out there that do and that hype you talking bout.. there’s a profit in that. Point is this shoe is plain Jane BUT there’s folks out there that love a minimalist look and would pay resell. Ima sit on these tell they hit a stack lol i don’t get how you say don’t fall for the hype but here you are on this video tryna watch because exactly that... the hype
There's nothing wrong with the shoe. It's super clean and the Fragment logo at the back makes it special. The only thing that's wrong is the resell price, but then again it's determined by the market.
I really enjoy your straight-forward-approach to reviewing. Well structured, none of the comments on aspects of the shoe feel like they're padding out the runtime and the way you really focus on the shoe by predominantly having shots of just the shoe when discussing aspects of it is very pleasant. Definitely one of the higher quality sneaker reviews on this site (at least in my opinion). There's a new sub for you :)
Agree. I'm 42 and can wear these with a somewhat dressy all black outfit. Def. classy and I get tons of compliments. Nothing wrong with simple, subtle and elegant.
The shoe is underwhelming yes but its a fragment collab so it should at least hold its value for now and slowly creep back up in a few years, definitely won't be like the ones though. With all that, this is one that i wanted but took Ls everywhere my name is Storm so the fragment logo is perfect for me. No shoes but I got some of the gear, a hoodie and a long sleeve which low key might be the best part so Im happy still
Picked them up for retail in my odd size 12.5 and next to my other 3's, they're just cleeeaann! If I don't sell them between now and next spring, I'm definitely rocking them on feet during the summer!
I wore this shoe once and loved it on foot. Super clean yet it isn't a jordan you see everyday which I love. Overall super clean shoe and pops in the summer with the right fit.
Don’t own a pair of 3’s but was really hoping to hit on Snkrs for these. They look really clean on feet how I pictured them to be. Thanks Sean for the amazing video to wipe away my salty L
the more hate a shoe gets the more I like it...these are low key fire and fragment knew exactly what they were doing, all these recent colabs with Cow print ice cream and Cut off tounges are making everyone overlook simplicity. these next year will be worth 1k and will only increase overtime if your a collector these are a must cop
Clean colorway and I like the tumbled leather on this one. The definitely need to step up their game on all AJ models in terms of material quality. I agree with you on this one too Sean, it would be a forgettable sneaker without the badge of Fragment.
I don’t understand how people don’t see the minimalistic beauty of these!!! Not every sneaker has to be Bel-Air. You have to see them for what they are, a classic.
Great video, as always. I feel like this shoe was very reminiscent of the Air Max Tinker 3's (minus the swoosh), which ended up being an outlet shoe. On feet, they look better than expected, but you always pull off shoes real well.
Dude the price is as low as it’s going to get my man, just like the Cactus jacks, the price always drops a lot right after release cause botters are trying to get rid of the shoes. If you really like them get them right now cause In a month the price will be much higher.
Just subscribed to your channel, and I must say this. Great Job !! Cool, Calm, and amazing job keep us interested and informed. Unlike these other Sneaker UA-camrs you keep it real especially with all this craziness going on in the world as of late. I did not cop. I tried for everything. The Shies, Shirts, and Hoodies. Took nothing but big L’s. I love and wanted this sneaker soooo bad. Plus a matching hoodie. It’s basically what I come to expect from Fragments. Nothing to crazy. Kept it simple and clean. Hopefully the resale price comes down in a week. Same with the hoodie.
I'm not mad, you're mad!... Who is cutting onions?? Naah I didn't want them anyways... 😭 To me, it feels like it still looks like a sample with the thin hairline type on the side. It's a very wearable colorway, and the translucent back tab is really dope. But, primarily thing that it is relying on is the fragment branding. Hiroshi Fujiwara's approach here is VERY similar to the chuck 70's they did. I'm a fan of the shoe, but I agree- without the collab, I don't think it would've garnered much hype. I think for a minimalist closet- this would be perfect. If you look at the collection as a whole I think it is a really nice accent to everything that was released. ALSO, 3:42.
These are so clean. Salty that I didn't get to cop one for retail. Honestly would prefer this over the Concord 11's. So much more versatile and could be worn with a variety of outfits/styles from formal to casual. Unfortunately will probably have to pay resale for these but hopefully the price will continue to go down within the coming weeks.
@@beanbean5934 Yea, that was my first thought when they were first revealed. It was because of that reason that I instantly wanted to get a pair. Honestly didn't really care about the colab aspect of it. Matter of fact, it had me worried, because that meant re-sellers and hypebeasts would hoard all the pairs and people who really wanted them would be SOL and have to pay crazy resell prices. Sucks but that's how the shoe game is nowadays unfortunately.
John Guinto Honestly wished these were a gr cause everyone would hate them, they’d go on sale, and I could double up if I need to 😂. Like the non-levi 6s for example, they’re bricking like crazy. If they were branded like the 4s, they’d fetch astronomical prices 😒
Thank you for keeping it real SG. I feel like some UA-camrs will pay the resell and feel like they have to justify the purchase so they change their energy on the shoe. These aren't trash by any means. But you are exactly right.... Remove the fragment collab and these are sitting at outlets and getting clowned on UA-cam and social media for being a bad interpretation of the AJ11 on an AJ3. Camera skills are Immaculate. Essential in an era where I can't always purchase kicks locally. Added plus that your sizing issues are similar to mine. Lord Willing we'll both be around decades from now and you'll be doing reviews on orthopedic shoes for us. 😂😂😂. But seriously though, that's not a bad idea 😁.
I usually like colours but the Japan co AJ1 caught my eye so do these. I like the free throw 3 the recent denim 3 with japanese writing and I like the Tinker 3🤔
Great review as always! Key question - would you say that the quality on these is better than the denim Jordan 3 JP.co versions? Specifically the white tumbled leather or would you say they are pretty much identical?
Just found your channel and your content is legit! Honestly, way better than super hypebeast channels which I’m losing interest in. Your reviews and opinions are 👌🏼 Keep up the great content!
I’d cop wanted more by color but once I saw ppl calling them the concord 3s the hype for me went away cuz I have some Concorde and I feel like I’d wear these and keep my concords up for the most part
These are absolutely ahead of their time, they are minimalistic and very versitile, these will most likely increase both in price and demand. not for your typical sneaker head who seek bold and obnoxious trends or colors. look around, we are entering in a new era. these will most definetely stand the test of time.
If the Jordan 11 Concords were the inspiration, Fragment Design should have made the bottoms icy. In any case, it's a clean sneaker but I wouldn't pay resale for it. The stamped details on the midsole will be a problem when the paint eventually cracks.
@@EddieVantoni0 lol of course not. Here's the SNKRS specs: "Along with two other footwear pieces and an apparel collection, this AJ3 rounds out the Fragment x Jordan collaboration by applying Fujiwara's attention to detail to one of the most beloved Jordan silhouettes. The black and white 'Orca' colour scheme plays on his earlier Nike work, while a fully spelt-out SKU on the midsole draws a connection between the art and business of streetwear."
For those saying these are bricks cuz prices are going down, did yall forget this wasnt a draw so bots got their on them and people just want to make quick money and get rid of their pairs lol once these bot losers get rid of them these are going to sky rocket

Mikey Frames 💯💯💯 grabbed one b4 it hit a nickel, still under $500 in a lot of sizes
oh really? 😅
I think its kinda plain but seeing it on feet makes it look vastly better. I think the simple colors will make the shoe go with everything and you can’t go wrong with 3s added to your outfit.
The on feet looked sick. As basic as it is.... she shoe just works!
Basic as it might be, I think it’ll age very well. It goes with almost anything. I feel like it is under-appreciated right out of the gate.
the thing will won't age well is that back tab...
It gives me that 11 Concords vibe. Works really welll with your black pants! 👌🏻
The secret to this shoe is when you see it ON FEET they look clean af
They do..... But not $800 clean. If I want this look I'll just rock my concords and keep the $800 in my pocket.
Deon Knott sure but it isn’t a designer collab 🤦🏻♂️ that’s what makes it valuable.

Matti kmr thank you and welcome to the channel
As a 40 year old these are perfect for me...classy and understated and will probably go with most black, grey, white accented outfits
Agree. I'm 42 and can wear these with a somewhat dressy all black outfit. Def. classy and I get tons of compliments. Nothing wrong with simple, subtle and elegant.
Jordan 3 "Concord 11s" 😂 These would go straight to the outlets if it wasn't for that logo on the heel imo
Facts
Resell price plummeting for these. So not even the branding from collab is helping it that much
ikr
U right
I think these will go up in price after a while, look at the resell prices for the fragments 1s which aren’t that complex either
absolutely love the subtle details on these. great review as usual
The shoe is underwhelming yes but its a fragment collab so it should at least hold its value for now and slowly creep back up in a few years, definitely won't be like the ones though.

I hit on Snkrs!! Wanna see them in hand! I like the Concord vibes.
u always come in clutch with the vids; every time i’m thinking of copping a shoe, i search it up on UA-cam, and your vids pop up and i simply click! 🤝
Thank you!!!! Glad I can help
Your on feet is 🔥. They’ll prolly pop with black laces.
Picked them up for retail in my odd size 12.5 and next to my other 3's, they're just cleeeaann! If I don't sell them between now and next spring, I'm definitely rocking them on feet during the summer!
I know they're basic and might be a tad bit lazy, but they're beautiful man... Wish I could afford them.
i was able to get my first coo on snkrs for these im tryna trade one of my other pairs for another one of these bc i want a personal of these rly bad
Man this is so nice!!!!
Thanks man!!! 🤝
one of my top sneaker youtubers! one that gets the details down and not yell or put loud music in the background haha. Keep up the good work!
LOL thanks!

Copped a size 12 off SNKRS. Can't wait to get em!
Great point about the potential yellowing!

Even got the hoodie 🤝
Sean always pulls through with the W.
Clean colorway and I like the tumbled leather on this one. The definitely need to step up their game on all AJ models in terms of material quality. I agree with you on this one too Sean, it would be a forgettable sneaker without the badge of Fragment.
Great Review Sean. Glad I hit on SNkRs. I get my pair tomorrow. Where did you purchase your black jeans on the on feet?
Can’t lie..... on feet they look incredible. Can’t wait till my pair arrives. Definitely Top 5 sneaker of the year.
Best shoe of the year imo 🔥 super classy
I don’t understand how people don’t see the minimalistic beauty of these!!! Not every sneaker has to be Bel-Air.
You have to see them for what they are, a classic.
Great vid again Sean. Hopefully I hit on the UK release 🤞🤞
Nice review. I hope you can consider reviewing Jordan Air Cadence Fragment as well. Thank you 😃
Awaiting my pair from SNKRS. Love your videos as well.
Wow...Clean for sure
Definitely look better on feet, got my pair on the way. 👍🏼
Great video, as always.
I feel like this shoe was very reminiscent of the Air Max Tinker 3's (minus the swoosh), which ended up being an outlet shoe. On feet, they look better than expected, but you always pull off shoes real well.
I love 3s but sadly caught an L on these 🤦♂️. Hopefully prices dip a lil more so I can cop
Dude the price is as low as it’s going to get my man, just like the Cactus jacks, the price always drops a lot right after release cause botters are trying to get rid of the shoes. If you really like them get them right now cause In a month the price will be much higher.
Right now its going for about $500 over at StockX...might go down a bit more
The greatest review I’ve seen so far! And yeah great review as usual!
Thanks
Just got my pair, so clean in hand.
Managed to miraculously win 2 raffles for this shoe. I was about to cop it for resale and so glad I didn’t.
At a distance it looks like the mocha 3's. Good thing I have the mochas. Nice review!
Just subscribed to your channel, and I must say this. Great Job !! Cool, Calm, and amazing job keep us interested and informed. Unlike these other Sneaker UA-camrs you keep it real especially with all this craziness going on in the world as of late.

Damn that on feet made me want them even more
There a lot less padding in the collar too. I went half size down and still fit better than my BC3 in a half size bigger.
Struck out and almost picked it up for resale but... hell to the na na for the price. Might try to buy the denim 3s
Great review Sean! Thanks for the video
I call them the Concord 3s.

Flexing that fragment hoodie i see you sean lol
Jordan brand will probably release a AJ3 in the future with the exact same colorway and material, but without the Fragment branding.
Sean always with the genuine review!👍🏻
Others reviewers: Saw Frag logo, this is fire😂😂😂
💀

great review! To simple shoe, I will probably cop in the $400
Honestly, although the shoe is clean, the real story is on the apparel. The long sleev tee looked so good. Really sad I didn’t get them.
I usually like colours but the Japan co AJ1 caught my eye so do these. I like the free throw 3 the recent denim 3 with japanese writing and I like the Tinker 3🤔
Awesome shoes Sean Go
agree with your assessment, without the Fragment this shoe will be sitting on the shelf.
i read that the denim reds are better quality than these, what you think about it?
Clean and elegant in true Fragment fashion 👌
Great review as always! Key question - would you say that the quality on these is better than the denim Jordan 3 JP.co versions? Specifically the white tumbled leather or would you say they are pretty much identical?
Pretty much identical
These are so clean

I like them, but I actually like the co.jp 3s better, to be honest. Still, at the right price, I'd cop.
Co.Jp are nicer imo lol
Simple and super clean
Great review as always 😊
on feet was awesome tho
I have 9us,pays to hold? whether to sell for ~ £ 280/300
Price will skyrocket for this in couple of mos. fragment collabs are once in a blue moon. I got mine in s11 lol
The fire red denim even looks better than those and the quality seems equal lol
Cool box.... But that hoodie is fire

Grabbed it after it dipped to under $500. Ahead of its time... going up
Hi Sean, I’ve noticed you saying you wear a size 10 in these but 10.5 in the Jordan 3 Black/Cement, so does this fit true to size? Thanks!
Yeah these fit roomier than BC3
Hi Sean, how does the hoodie fit? Does it fit true to size? I’m 6’1 and weighs 165 pounds, should I go for a large or medium? Thanks!
I’m 5’11 175 and it’s a good fit on me. A bit baggy but it’s good for me in a Large
You paid a rack for these g? That's a straight hell to the nah for be but power to you
How limited where the apparel tho?
The Union 4s blow these out of the water I think.
Another great video! The sneaker is a little basic and bland. Not a must have for myself
Great video!
the color blocking is the same as the white Moncler fragment 70s....hmmmm....easy design
This are pure fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glad to see prices are coming back down to Earth
Sean how do you manage to pay resale for all of these limited sneakers?! You must be wealthy or have a job that pays well 😂
My man sean is a billionaire
I love these
People who are underwhelmed do not know how fragment collabs usually look like.
For those saying these are bricks cuz prices are going down, did yall forget this wasnt a draw so bots got their on them and people just want to make quick money and get rid of their pairs lol once these bot losers get rid of them these are going to sky rocket
Yall ever look at a review for a shoe you already have?
These would look so much cleaner/better without the text on the side of the heel.
I copped
Firre review broo!
these are cool right?
what are those pants on the on feet bit
Uniqlo denim
My dude 🔥
Woah gotta splurge on this
