Air Jordan 3 Black/Cement Grey CDP
 The Black/Red Jordan 4 made its return over the weekend for the first time since its first retro release in 1999, but there is another retro return that is building just as much hype. The Black/Cement Grey Air Jordan 3 was last seen in August of 2001 and the 7 years since its release has been far too long for many. Resale prices have pushed a deadstock pair from ‘01 far out of the affordable range making the Jordan 3/20 Countdown Package one of the most anticipated.
One thing that will be noticeably different from the 2008 CDP Air Jordan 3 and the 2001 retro version is the logo on the heel tab of the shoe. The infamous “NIKE AIR” made its last appearance on the back of the Black/Cement Grey Jordan 3 and will be replaced with the Jumpman and “AIR” instead. Osneaker has once again hooked us up with some detailed shots of this upcoming release. They have a few pairs way ahead of the scheduled release in October. |

idk to me they look fake because every time i used to see someone on the street with the jumpman on the back they were fake but whatever i guess.
Comment by piff — July 22, 2008 @ 6:12 pm
i think these will be the most disapointing jordan because it looks very out of shape compared to 01 retro
Comment by ripjordan — July 22, 2008 @ 6:12 pm
I sold my pair to my friend about a year ago. I wish I had them still DS so I could compare the two side by side…

Never been a fan of 3s, but at least the majority are getting what they want in the cdp.

Comment by chris — July 22, 2008 @ 8:25 pm
I sent pics of these to TheShoeGame.com about two weeks ago….the ankle padding in these is thinner than the older retro’s and the stitching on the top of the tongues looks less than perfect…but that’s not a big deal….still fresh as hell.
Comment by TokyoMike — July 22, 2008 @ 8:56 pm
dam im in love
Comment by cosmo10292 — July 22, 2008 @ 9:00 pm
This is a must cop! Is it me or does the top leather look real soft? INSTANT CREASES!!! Oh well… thats what those inserts that Foot Locker always trys to sell me EVERYTIME i go in there are for. And someone said the XX’s are all suede??? Similar to the XIV’s earlier this year… Can someone please clarify this for me lol?
Comment by DMVsneakerFiend — July 22, 2008 @ 9:10 pm
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I’m sick of wack retro releases, another package that just makes me cherish my OG’s & 1st retro releases of the J’s in the arsenal. My foresight as a tru sneakerhead shines thru daily (cool grey XI’s…..) That’s priceless
Comment by SlickPullsem — July 22, 2008 @ 9:14 pm

Comment by Darryl — July 22, 2008 @ 9:42 pm
These are goin to be type hot, obviously the 1999 ones are goin to be loved more due to the nike on the back but if u want a real good pic of these check out flightclubny.com. The link to the 3s should be http://www.flightclubny.com/p.php?fc=ny&c=aj&sc=aj3&i=010829
Comment by The Kid — July 22, 2008 @ 9:57 pm
I hate what jordan brand is doing…keep releasing shoes in packs first, and also they drop them out continuously 1 after the other..some ppl cant keep up with the shoes because before you know it they already came out and sold out
Comment by gotsole? — July 22, 2008 @ 10:13 pm

thakickboss11
im not 100% sure about the suede part but im pretty sure its gonna be all black because i checked some sneakersites out and only info they got about the xx is that its aomthin with black and charcoal (and i read suede from somwhere) o well we’ll just have to wait and see
Comment by ripjordan — July 22, 2008 @ 11:08 pm
the XXs are horrible, im passing, whatever.
Comment by princeofthecity — July 22, 2008 @ 11:20 pm
I think the most anticipated package will be the 11/12 coming out in december isn’t the spacejams going to be the 11s that’s coming with the package?
Comment by damien — July 22, 2008 @ 11:20 pm
not a big fan of the retro 3, looks o.k but they remind me of this one dude who usta sell fake j’s back when i was in school in 2005. all he sold were fake retro 3’s it was sickening. might cop but not to sure. ANYONE KNOW WHEN THE 5/18 PACK WILL RELEASE? tx. one
Comment by flash_ready3 — July 22, 2008 @ 11:24 pm

THESE KICKS ARE CLASSIC BUT I REFUSE TO BUY A PACKAGE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOBODY EVER WANTS THE WHACK SHOE THAT COMES IN THE PACKAGE SO THEY ARE MAKING YOU BUY THEM F**K THAT
Comment by swanson — July 23, 2008 @ 6:40 am
This is great that we can see so many pics of the IIIs months in advance, but when will they stop stalling n give us pics of next month’s Vs.
Comment by mcmcnyc — July 23, 2008 @ 8:48 am
actually matt, i think i’m not the only one who feels like asking this: do u know why we have seen pics of every other Countdown Pack Jordan except the Vs from August’s V/XVIII pack?
Comment by mcmcnyc — July 23, 2008 @ 8:54 am
@damien: XI’s will be Black/Red’s (like the 2001 version’s, not Black/Red Spacejams or Black/Blue SJ’s), and XII’s will be Taxi’s. Confirmed months ago.
I wish they were gonna be SJ’s, I would’ve bought two.
@RipJordan: I’m very (at least 80%) sure the XX’s are Black with suede.
Now then, I’ve never been a fan of Black/Cement IV’s or III’s. They are nice, I just prefer the White/Cement III’s/IV’s over them. I might cop for the XX’s though since I’ve been wanting a pair.
Comment by Dj75728 — July 23, 2008 @ 8:57 am
That I cannot explain. We still have not seen the following according to my score card:
Jordan 5
Jordan 8
Jordan 11
Jordan 12
Jordan 15
Jordan 20
Jordan 22
Comment by Nice Kicks — July 23, 2008 @ 8:58 am
@mcmcnyc: V’s will be White/Black/Fire Red’s (original’s, not like the ‘06 Retro) with a 23 on the side like on some of the recent retro’s. Pictures haven’t surfaced yet if I’m remembering correctly. Not sure why.
Comment by Dj75728 — July 23, 2008 @ 9:00 am
@Matt: Yep, that’s correct. I’m waiting for the XX and XXII pics. Man I want those I’s.
Comment by Dj75728 — July 23, 2008 @ 9:01 am
^ As do I. I need a pair i can wear on my feet instead of my head
Comment by Nice Kicks — July 23, 2008 @ 9:04 am
Yeah, I know all the colorways already, I’m just curious to see how well the Vs came out. It’s a little hard to get a feel for what the shoe itself looks like by just looking at the old retro’s with Nike Air on the Back and yellowed soles
Comment by mcmcnyc — July 23, 2008 @ 9:09 am
@Matt: I just need one pair. I’ve been wanting a pair of those I’s for years now. Definitely one of my favorite pairs.
@mcmcnyc: Yeah I know what you mean. Sorry that I don’t have any pics for you. I’d like to see them as well, they’ll probably come out the weekend before my birthday since it’s in late August. Might pick them up cause of that.
Comment by Dj75728 — July 23, 2008 @ 9:33 am
I got a pair from a friend in HK and they are super dope. Some small updates but those pics do not do them right. They are fresh as a squeezed Orange.

Comment by Lumpia — July 23, 2008 @ 1:05 pm
a lil talk on the mixed jordans (Dub Zero, Spiz’ike, 6Rings) will Smith and Hatfield wanna make one called the JordanLee??? that’d be the best imo
Comment by Jordan0589 — July 23, 2008 @ 1:10 pm
why didnt they put “air” on the IVs?
Comment by VeRs — July 23, 2008 @ 1:39 pm
I got the same pair from Marqueesole about a week ago. When I got them they look and feel fake. And I cannot compare the previous retroes because I never had one. And i guess these shoes where invented back in the late 80’s and don’t expect comfort. I’m still hoping I got the real one’s.
Comment by huey — July 23, 2008 @ 2:08 pm
i kinda like tha cements more
Comment by BigHead — July 23, 2008 @ 2:26 pm
Where are the V’s I need to see them V’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Air Daniel — July 23, 2008 @ 3:33 pm
J3 Black Cement are my favourite of all time but these look odd.I’ll wait till October and try them on in store.
Comment by Calv45 — July 23, 2008 @ 4:53 pm
Hmm, something tells me that these might be more popular than the Air Jordan 4/19 pack. These have been desired forever by everyone and their mother, and the 20s did pretty well, too. We’ll see.
