U.S. Jordan heads were left ‘truly blue’ because the Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’ was released exclusively overseas, but this May, your frowns will turn upside down. Here’s a look at a 2011 Retro version of the Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’, set to drop sometime in May; you can expect the same as the 2009 version in terms of color-blocking and materials, but as it goes with all Air Jordan Retros, quality is still under questions. Many True Blue ’09 owners experienced cracked midsoles within just a few wears due to the midsoles being painted and not dyed, and aggressively yellowing heel-tabs. Regardless of whatever improvements (or lack of) have been made, the Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’ will be one of the more anticipated Air Jordan Retros of the year. Check out the detailed images of the 2011 version after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more information as it develops. via modernnotoriety.

Color: White/True Blue

Thats Mine
January 12th, 2011 at 1:11 pm
dope !
January 12th, 2011 at 1:13 pm
These are awesome I cant wait to get these retro 5s best 5s ever! When do the cement 2s come out?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:13 pm
My favorite 3s, unfortunately I copped two pair in '09 and still have one in DS mode – so I gotta pass. Too much other stuff releasing, like the Black History Month 3s… yes you read that correctly.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
blue looks off and elephant print's a little funny. still dope.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:15 pm
hope these are dropping in europe… if these are dropping im a copping!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:16 pm
Cracked midsoles & the yellowing of heels have always been a big bummer about this model Jordan, but hell everything good can't last forever. Once you kill em all you can do is look forward to JB re-retro-ing the CW again. I give these shoes two thumbs up!!!!!!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
Yea those BHM 3's are gonna be pretty hot in my book. Tough to get im guessin too.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
YES ! they're made in Taiwan !
January 12th, 2011 at 1:23 pm
The blue that everyone is complaining about looks closer to the 2001 release
January 12th, 2011 at 1:23 pm
my 2009s are still fresh…but u cant go wrong with two of these…hope the quality is as good as 09…still no cracks (knock on wood)
January 12th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
gonna cop just so I can keep my 2001 TB's nice
January 12th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Got these already. Quality is good. Haven’t experienced any of the cracking issues that others have had.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:36 pm
So these will be produced in Taiwan instead of China? Wonder if the quality will be any better?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
these r the sneakers i must get i have to cop nothing stopping me
January 12th, 2011 at 1:41 pm
yall meant June? the last post said June. May would be mad dope though(mah bday n shit aaaaand possibly my favorite jordan ever)
January 12th, 2011 at 1:41 pm
yep easy cop
January 12th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
did Mike Jordan gain 100 pounds on the tounge…. since when has the jumpman logo been overwieght ?
January 12th, 2011 at 1:44 pm
The shape seems to be surprisingly on point… well I guess I have to wait until I see the final product,
but from these pictures they look real nice. Thumbs up.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
I wish starks would make some more elephant cement print laces again. With all these 3's being released i need atleast 2 more elephant print laces for the white & black cements 3. STARKS if you are reading this MAKE MORE LACES!
January 12th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
i got my 09's and have yet to even open the box after the day i got em…but ima still cop these. this is one of my favorite jordan models and colorway
January 12th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
2 PAIRS WILL BE COPPED, NO QUESTIONS ASKED LOL
January 12th, 2011 at 2:04 pm
NO CHANGES IS ALWAYS GOOD WHEN IT COMES TO OG CW RETROS!!!!! BUT WHEN I PUT THESE ON MY FEET IN MAY THEY BETTER NOT CRACK JB!!!!!
January 12th, 2011 at 2:21 pm
spizikes look better than these 3's…the blue on these joints look faded unlike the glossy spizikes
January 12th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
thank you
January 12th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Think or at least read before you type
January 12th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
That explains the cracking midsole on my Air Revolution retros…..I wore them twice SMH. Thanks for the info though.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
I agree with the elephant print statement…….lines look rather thick…but still a dope shoe…Always a classic
January 12th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Me too!! My Fav. jordan colorway. Although theres not much different about them, which is good. JB prolly just made the same adjustments as they did on the Cement 11's
January 12th, 2011 at 3:06 pm
hype beast !
January 12th, 2011 at 3:27 pm
Yo Imma complain. I think the 2011 has one less bit of elephant print than the 2009.
Seriously though I still have two pairs from 09 and with the joints comin' out this month I might just end up only wearing iii's this year.
January 12th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
Did you ride the short yellow bus when you were in school? Because your a fucking retard.
January 12th, 2011 at 4:12 pm
2011 is too packed!! These will be in my closet tho for sure.
January 12th, 2011 at 4:27 pm
Nicee! i like these a lil more than the cements to be honest.
check the site http://www.freshandsavvy.com
January 12th, 2011 at 4:49 pm
FRE$H…………..RE$PECT 23
January 12th, 2011 at 4:57 pm
I agree. It looks darker. And no Red tongue FTL.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
What r u talkin about?
January 12th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
Lmfao bro r u a comedian or r u just stupid?
Gotta learn ur 23s and I'll even help u, these r true blue III's a classic air Jordan
January 12th, 2011 at 7:14 pm
Supposedly they fixed those problems
January 12th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
Absolutely beautiful. God Bless you JB team. You made a classic kick another classic! =)
January 12th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
I will definitely be getting these kicks esp. since this colorway matches my school's colors. I will have to skip out on the cements and just get these and the playoff 13s. I hope they fix the midsole issue though.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:35 pm
He got junk in the trunk.
January 12th, 2011 at 7:55 pm
LOL, Gutman
January 12th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
I love you JB!
January 12th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
These are sick…coppin em.
January 12th, 2011 at 9:08 pm
i really do hope that they come back with the whole midsole blue..NOT that half @$$ "fire-red" thing they got going on there lol
January 12th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
decisions, decisions………
January 12th, 2011 at 10:19 pm
true blues are BEAUTIFUL…. llike Red Toys said hope blue wraps around midsole cant really tell from these pics, also hope they leather isnt shiny like white cement still coppin both no doubt
January 12th, 2011 at 10:30 pm
When are you guys gonna learn that these newer retro's HAVE to have something that sets them apart from past releases. Stop crying about the colors and elephant print
January 13th, 2011 at 7:48 am
you're clearly dumb about J's, real f*ckin hypebeast right here
January 13th, 2011 at 12:48 pm
Obviously I'm copping the white/cements but the True Blues are just way cleaner IMO. I can't wait.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
These will finally be in my closet.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:43 am
I got 2 pairs still from 2001 don't think I'm coppin these cause we all know these will be no where near as comfortable as the 2001's
January 15th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
Man I sweat to much heat are coming out to choose del, now I got to choose between these or the bum joint. Either way they'll be my first pair of 3's. Smh, the life of being a sneakerhead I'm about to get a better job just because of my addiction.
January 15th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
To much heat dropping this now I got to choose between the true blues or the bhm, either way it will be my 1st pair of 3's, I need a better job to support my addiction. SMH, this crazy.
January 15th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
one word… WORD
January 16th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
the gud thingabout all these retros coming out this year is that i can get all the best and they mostly gonna be general release like the cements
February 25th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
they did fix those problems…. back in 1988
May 11th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
i have both and i say they both are equal but if you have the true blue 3 its considered more heat
May 22nd, 2011 at 10:15 am
