Air Jordan 3 Retro "Black Cement" Launching 11/23 Colorway: BLACK/FIRE RED/CEMENT GREY Style: Men's and Kid's Sneakers

Release Date: November 23, 2024

Nov 11, 2024

It’s the pair that redefined a generation. The first Jordan kicks designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 3, stood out on the court with its elephant print mudguards and textured leather upper.

One of the most iconic colorways in this lineup is the “Black Cement” — a sneaker that MJ scored 40 points in during the 1988 All-Star Game. Since then, we’ve seen drops of this colorway in 1994, 2001, 2008, 2011, and 2018.

Now it’s set to make an appearance again. The Air Jordan 3 Retro "Black Cement" looks just like the OG shoe — there’s nothing reimagined about this one. Grab it in full family sizing for men, grade school kids, preschool kids, and toddler kids starting on November 23.

The palette on this kick is mostly black, Cement Grey, and Sail, though you’ll see a few Fire Red accents throughout. Textured black leather covers most of the upper, giving the shoe a smooth and luxe appearance. Ventilated Cement Grey overlays on the lace box and collar add a little more breathability to the kick.

The iconic elephant print mudguard overlays stand out along the toe and heel with a mix of Cement Grey patterns. At the heel, you’ll see large Nike Air branding in white on top of a black base. Beneath this is another black heel support band that wraps around to the midfoot.

The gray tongue offers an embroidered red Jumpman along with matching red eyelets. Black laces keep the design grounded and offset the relatively lighter tongue.

All of this sits atop a Sail midsole that cuts cleanly around the shoe, interrupted only by the Air unit in the heel. A gray rubber outsole finishes off this mid-top design.

It’s been a few years since we’ve seen a drop of the Jordan 3 Retro "Black Cement,” so we expect this one to be a sell-out.
