The Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” is making a triumphant return in 2024, much to the delight of sneaker enthusiasts worldwide. This iconic colorway, originally released in 1988, holds a special place in the hearts of Jordan fans and sneaker collectors alike.
Unlike the recently released “White Cement Reimagined,” which featured a vintage aesthetic, the upcoming “Black Cement” will remain faithful to its original design. This means no artificial aging or material swaps, ensuring that the sneaker retains its timeless appeal.
The Air Jordan 3 was a groundbreaking design by Tinker Hatfield, introducing several new elements to the Air Jordan line. The Jumpman logo on the tongue, Nike Air branding on the heel, and the signature elephant print all became iconic features that would define future Air Jordan models.
The “Black Cement” colorway was famously worn by Michael Jordan during the 1988 All-Star Game, where he showcased his incredible skills and cemented his status as a basketball legend. The shoe’s association with Jordan’s iconic moments adds to its allure and desirability.
The Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” is expected to release on November 23rd, 2024, in full-family sizing. Adult pairs will retail for $220 and will be available through SNKRS and select retailers.
