Air Jordan Retro III Black Cement from the Air Jordan 3 20 Countdown Package Detailed Look
Jul 30, 2008 | Comments 31
After what undoubtedly seems like a lifetime's wait for most Jordan heads, the legendary, Jordan of all Jordans, the "Black/Cement" Air Jordan III is set to be retroed once again as part of the Air Jordan 3/2o Countdown Package. Tinker Hatfield's first date with the Jordan Line and with destiny, the Air Jordan III saved the Air Jordan line, kept MJ with Nike, and in effect, created sneaker culture as we know it. In addition to the infamous elephant print, and among several other design attributes to debut on the Air Jordan III, none was perhaps more important than the Jumpman, a logo that has now become one of the most recognizable logos in the world.
The "Black/Cement" Air Jordan Retro III CDP features what you would come to expect from the sneaker. A Black textured leather upper, Elephant print at the toe and heel, a Grey tongue with a Red embroidered Jumpman, a White midsole, Red eyelets, a Grey eyestay, and of course as expected from a retro, the "Jumpman Air" logo on the heel.
The "Black/Cement" Air Jordan Retro III CDP is set to release in October as part of the Air Jordan 3/2o Countdown Package.

Word!
Nice
These are crazy...I still got the retro Nike air on the back, but you can't got wrong with 2pairs
It doesn't get any better than these...
But the 20s..worth a trash
nice....
consider tese copped !!! nice !!!
this package and the december package (11 &12) are the packages i've been craving so far the whole year. the carmine's as well.
NICE! OH FO SHO!
must cop!!!
THIZ JOINTZ ARE SO HOTTT!!!!! MOST COP 2 PACKS YA'LL DIGGG????
Now you REALLY won't be able to tell the difference between a pair of real 3's and fake ones because they look exactly alike. Keep up the good work Jordan Brand!
out of a 10 i give it a 6 not hot enough
finally a pack drops where i want BOTH shoes. i really wanted those 20's but i slept. and that wack *** 11/12 pack? wtf?! i still have cripy pairs of the black/red 11's and i dont want those wack white and black 12's. they should have dropped the white and RED 12's and then i would have gone crazy.
Arguably the freshest J of all time. If only it didn't have that Jumpman stuck on the back...and that you have to buy the 20 to get it.
Eventhough I hate the 20's I can't pass on these 3's especially when a OG pair of 3's cost like $500 and up.
Any pics of the XX ?
So, you're a philosopher?
Yes...jigga yes...jigga yes yes...I think very deeply.
Best product placement for a Jordan ever.
Wtf is it me or is the air bubble a lil smaller than previous incarnations.....
Best cop of the year
Tired of the iii pics.
those all black XXs make this package not worth it. These are nice but paired with the all black XXs makes it an easy pass.
Man, forget these old tired *** 3s. Let's see those pimp AJ XXs! That's the only reason to buy the CDP at all, anyway.
great retro
ur stupid black red white 11's are fire and those high top 12's black/white are fire.. gonna be the hottest package
The 3's are sick wit it! These are a Must have to add to the Jordan stockpile in my office @ work!
Get $ spend $ buy Diamonds & Guns & J's playa!
Popp'n price tags!
Alohaz from Hawaii..
Dayum...I have enuff black and white J's...more quickstrikes and LSes please!!!!!!!!!!!! Saving for the 11/12 CDP.
I love how Nike/Jordan Brand get everyone to drop the extra coin on a second pair of sneakers no one wants.
Marketing. It's a b*tch!
some you guys are idiots if these joints wouldve retroed back in 01 with a jumpman on back ya wouldnt be saying oh these suck cause of the jumpman
sweeeeeet !!!
Not liking the cement print, looks cheaply done. And no, I'm not one of those "retro" elitists, I just really think it looks cheaply done compared to the OG/retros, even though I personally like the Fire Reds/DTRT IIIs.
i'll pass because of those god awful 20's. already copped the illest pack. "7/16" baby! if u dont have it ur nobody.
