For many the retro of the Air Jordan III White/Cement Grey-Black-Fire Red in 2011 is on the list of the most anticipated sneakers for 2011. We just received a leaked teaser of the packaging which should add fire to the already hot release, it looks like the 2011 Air Jordan III Retro will come in the OG Black and Cement Grey Elephant Print box! Comparing this leaked upcoming box and looking at the OG box it does seem that this will probably be the 2011 box, note the side of the new box has the Jumpman logo and the OG box has Nike Air on the side of the box. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates regarding the 2011 Air Jordan III Retro and the Black/Cement Grey-Elephant Print box. Thanks Kickz-Lab

November 26th, 2010 at 11:36 am

November 26th, 2010 at 11:44 am

November 26th, 2010 at 11:44 am
What do you mean forget the 13s? Get em all fool
November 26th, 2010 at 11:48 am
WOWZERS!!!! Whomever pitched this idea over Nike deserves a huge bonus. Folks are gonna go ape shit for the three's now.
November 26th, 2010 at 11:57 am
one word-hallllllelujaaaah..lol
November 26th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Dope! but Nike Air on the back would be amazing
November 26th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
RELAX IT'S JUST A BOX. I CAN CARE LESS ABOUT A BOX I'M WEARING THE SHOE NOT THE BOX. U PEOPLE NEED TO CALM DOWN. LOSERS!!!
November 26th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
I hope this does not mean a $25 dollar increase on the 3s like JB does for the XIs that come in Special boxes becasue if thats the case I'll gladly take the 3s in a bag
November 26th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
There gona use a retro box…Lets hope they also use retro material for the shoe
November 26th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
JBs the pimps and we're the hoes. Just take all my damn cash.
November 26th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
I couldn't have said it better myself.
November 26th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
see what u dont understand is dat the OG box 2 me is a excellent touch and is now half the reason y am gettin da shoes… i dnt get shoes so every1 can look and say wat u have dats a definition of a hypebeast but i get em becasue of detailing and dat sweet OG box dat can bring back memories…
November 26th, 2010 at 12:50 pm
i feel you… dese bitches trippn its just a box
November 26th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
I'm diggin the box… and I'm rockin my fresh flint 13's now. A lil sad about the price tho.. Jordan is an az for that. How do you raise the price and lower the quality… that's BS!
November 26th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
great move by JB
November 26th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
in connecticut all our retroes been coming in vintage boxes for 3 years now…yall so late
November 26th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
do anyone know if they gonna have a run of retro 3 releases? if so i need another pair of true blue 3s as well…and i love the cement print box
November 26th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
so they are bringing back the og box but they cant make the retros with better quality…. The boxes are made better then the shoes they contain.
November 26th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
was gonna cop these early but probably means ill miss out on the box.hmm.They gotta do the og box for the bordeaux's too
November 26th, 2010 at 2:28 pm
How exactly would this box fulfill or cure their nostalgia? The shoes should be enough to do that alone. Nevermind the fact that the newer box has the jumpman on the side, as opposed to the OG box that said "Nike Air". If this shoe were to truly fulfill this nostalgia then the shoe and the box would have a "Nike Air"…..AND BETTER QUALITY.
November 26th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Black Fire 3's are the best 3's ever. I don't like the cement 3's that much, a little to plain for me
November 26th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Couldn't have said it better myself. The shoes look quite a bit off quality wise and they know that, so slap 'em in this box and the little children will run to buy them in larger numbers.
November 26th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
LOL @ the name and "get em all fool"
November 26th, 2010 at 3:41 pm

November 26th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
lol wurd
November 26th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
lo Wurd Itz fuxin iLL
November 26th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
About quality; I've been hearing the problem for that I read a few months ago is because people now wear J's for casual wear not to play basketball. (Correct if I'm wrong) I highly doubt that people would actually play basketball in some FRE$H, CLEAN AJ III's since people are afraid of creases, scuffing 'em up, getting 'em dirty, ect.
November 26th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
I like how the box goes well with the AJ III design. I wish they could do that with every AJ.
November 26th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
da reason y nike air isnt on the back any more cuz after the 13s jordan became n individual brand seperate from nikes branch, eventhough its still part of the overall company, meaning that all the retro releases from now until we die will have the jordan logo instead of the nike air logo
November 26th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
And why is it that my Jordan VI infrared have NIKE AIR in the back and in the insoles and they were release 2 years after the 13s came out
November 26th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
Don't you mean all our fakes?
November 26th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
if you have owned any AJ IIIs in the past few years you'd see the terrible quality, painted midsoles that crack just wearing them to the store or stiff, cardboard leather than feels like you're wearing cement shoes…but JB still takin' your money…
November 26th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
ABVIOUSLY YOUR NOT A REAL COLLECTOR IF A "BOX" MEANS NOTHING TO U..SO I SUGGEST U STICK TO BUYING FUSIONS OR ANY HYBRID JORDAN AND LEAVE THE RETROES TO US REAL SNEAKERHEADS..NOT_COOL_KID!!SMH
November 26th, 2010 at 8:51 pm
ABVIOUSLY YOUR NOT A REAL COLLECTOR SINCE A "BOX" MEANS NOTHING TO U..I SUGGEST U BUYING FUSIONS AND ANY OTHER HYBRID JORDANS AND LEAVE THE RETROES TO US REAL SNEAKERHEADS..NOT_COOL_KID..SMH!!
November 26th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
If you are going to complain, u shouldn't have got them bro….
November 26th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
Yeah I would agree with u too. But thats cuz I like all the white/red and black/red Js. These have a little red. But not that much
November 26th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
MAN NIKE IS KILLING ALL THE OLE GEE JORDANS
November 26th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
i hope those x's means sumthin else besides the number of that shoe ur gettin… lol
November 26th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
lol ape shit
November 26th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
idc if im broke imma cop these cause these are going to be NICE!!!!
November 26th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
and how many feet do you have? 1 or 2 pairs alright but you too greedy lol
November 26th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
This throw back box idea is dope…I definitely want them more now.
November 26th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
then why do fusions have nike air?
November 27th, 2010 at 12:09 am
Because they are a mix between Nike Air Force 1's and Air Jordans! That would mean that the agreement is for both brands to respectively have each logo on fusions for the recognition. Thats what a joint project is all about
November 27th, 2010 at 1:58 am
Hell Yea i like this Box 10x better than the regular box
November 27th, 2010 at 2:00 am
WHOOOOOO GIVES A FUCK JUST GET EM
November 27th, 2010 at 8:53 am

LOL
November 27th, 2010 at 9:21 am
I hope new box doesn't bring higher price give us og box with og price lol
November 27th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
i think the box compliments the shoes alot better as in with anyother shoe like the packages and 17s 18s and 19s but i think the box is a reason for them to hike up the price..so i say these will be about 160 oppose to the 130 pricetag on the 3s from a few years bak
November 27th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
yall do fakes in connecticut?
November 28th, 2010 at 1:40 am
Im sorry, feel free to negative this but fuck a box.i dont care if the shoe comes in a rice sack as long as i get a left shoe and a right shoe im not going to trip a nut about cardboard and cheap shit paper i can wipe my ads with. Seriously people when i get these shoes if anyone would like the box and keychain i will be more then glad to give it. Im not goingg to sit and stare at a box all day…nope…
November 28th, 2010 at 9:10 am
LMAO but hey the 13s were a good pick up
November 28th, 2010 at 11:15 am
haha i agree
November 28th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
is this gonna be a general release?
November 29th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
I wasn't planning on coppin the white cement 3's since I would prefer to copp the black ones eventually on my own timee but I have to admit releasing them with a OG box is too dope. JB is on it! Now please post up pics of the new 2011 boxes! I'm really anticipating to see those -__-
November 30th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY CLASSIC BOXES Finally. To bad JORDAN CAN'T Bring BACK THE COMFORT OF THE SHOES LIKE THEY USE TO BE.
December 2nd, 2010 at 2:30 pm
i heard the 3's are not going to be general release only quickstrike release
December 6th, 2010 at 5:11 am
Yea! I'm a old school Jordan wearer too. The quality has change I stop buying them for that. I never had the white/red. These are a must have then I am done with jordan he is getting over on us. The black ones was $80 bucks back in the day. Jordan does nothing for hoods/com. that started this Air Jordan thing for him not even any REC. centers nor any inner city tournaments.
December 7th, 2010 at 10:45 am
Umm no back in the day the Air Jordan III cost $99/$100 NOT $80 son…
December 7th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Right on BUT….why is it that in 1999 (after JB branched out from Nike) the og colored IV's said NIKE AIR…even in the year 2000 og colored V's, VI's had NIKE AIR even the insoles of the Concord XI's said NIKE AIR, the blk/red 1's has nike air on the toungue…cmon how do you explain that?… But why is it that the II's say nike on the back but not on the bottom sole??…Bottom line…JB can do whatever they want… and if they want to slap NIKE AIR logo they will…i just hope they get the messege…
December 7th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
You mustve been born in 1988 and you were not alive at the moment…you youngbucks would never understand…NOSTALGIA… I havent seen anything like that since 1988…and it adds a great touch to the shoe itself..
December 7th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
u live in south florida?
December 8th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
thank you! iam tired of ppl cying over the ten dollars they spent more
December 20th, 2010 at 12:10 pm

I ordered them from Marquee Sole and they didn't come wit the elephant print box.

Dear Idiot, they are fake.
January 19th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Can I have your box and keychain then? LOL.
November 21st, 2011 at 10:35 am
thats why they are called OG'S. then they made RETRO'S then RETRO +, the shit that kids buy now cause they wasnt around when they made the OG'S or the first RETRO.
