If you’re an avid Sneaker News reader, you’ll know that we’ve shown the White/Cement Grey Air Jordan III a number of times. The fact is, this shoe is one of the greatest Air Jordans of all time and certainly attributed to one of the most memorable moments if not THE most memorable moment in NBA history. The man flew from the stripe and not only dunked the ball, but did it with overflowing ‘swag’ and style. Call it ‘hype’ if you’d like, but the White/Cement III deserves all the attention it’s been getting, which might explain why Jordan Brand decided to release these with a special box inspired by the original as well as a nostalgic hangtag. This is one can’t miss release, so tomorrow, January 22nd, be sure to grab yours from select Jordan retailers like Extra Butter and Dr Jays or get yourself a pair now on eBay.
Style: 136064-105
Color: White/Fire Red-Cement Grey-Black

January 21st, 2011 at 9:10 pm
… or just call in sick lol. haha.
January 21st, 2011 at 9:14 pm
The package looks really good considering its a retro.
Oh well, '03's are fine for me.
January 21st, 2011 at 9:43 pm
I’ve had mine for 2 weeks and I love the packaging! They fit a half size big tho. I wanna anothe pair to customize with some red so ima cop another
January 21st, 2011 at 9:44 pm
Wondering the same thing. I get out at 1 pm
January 21st, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Go for the midnight release. Or if you can't afford to get out of work go to RMKSTORE.COM. They have them for $169 but shipping is $30. It will put you at about 2 bills total. But if it's something you want you're only looking at $40 above retail. I got mine a few days ago here in NC and they were $161 with tax.
January 21st, 2011 at 10:00 pm
I Have 2 Be A Work At 8 am FUCK, Online Order It Is

January 21st, 2011 at 10:56 pm
say what ya`ll want, but i never liked the 3´s!
for me is: 5`s, 6`s,7`s,8`s(only the aquas) and 11`s!
all other jordans never gonna be on my feet!
January 21st, 2011 at 11:04 pm

January 22nd, 2011 at 3:00 am
Man Its double nice for me. Copping these first thing in the morning, and then i get to make commission off the rest of them at FL…… nice last release before our FL becomes a HOH
January 22nd, 2011 at 4:32 am
Here in Japan, Playoff13s are released today also.
Everyone here just wamt Cement3s only including me.
I will not pay full retail price for Playoffs.
But both shoes are good quality tho.
January 22nd, 2011 at 5:51 am
WTF people hatin' because we got it earlier??? Um, our days are earlier than yours, you know??? If January 22, 2011 is the worldwide release, its January 22 already in different parts of the world. YOUR TIME IS NOT THE SAME TIME FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD, simple as that. This guy's even wishing for a smooth release without violence or any trouble whatsoever, and you thumb down the comment??? SMH.
January 22nd, 2011 at 6:23 am
GRs are usually easy to cop on most big online retailers, Eastbay/Footlocker/FinishLine/etc.. if it's HEAT like dis just make sure you cop at midnight or shortly thereafter. Won't last that long. But where's the fun in that.. go camp out and kick it with your local sneakerheads!
January 22nd, 2011 at 9:32 am
just got mine from champs with the shirt… wont be worn until the summer tho
January 22nd, 2011 at 9:37 am
Just came back from finishline there were like 20 people in line
I'm glade I got mines
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:08 am

January 22nd, 2011 at 10:10 am

January 22nd, 2011 at 10:23 am
Get your Yote City Tee to match the Cement 3s at http://www.yotecity.bigcartel.com and other goodies.
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:36 am
wow really 5 vote downs, for asking my fellow sneakerhead an opinion question… but anyways, i copped online from footlocker at midnight, 22 minutes just to check out. and total coast was just under $170, but still better than standing in line for a few hours.
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:39 am
shouldnt matter unless ur a hypebeast
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:42 am
just woke up at 9am went to MODELLS in downtown BK, copped two 11.5s and went for breakfast. EASY cop. These are everywhere. Footlocker.com has a full run size on these. Footaction sold out of sz 8-12 but they have big sizes for my heavy footed folks out there. Good luck guys.
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:56 am
think im going to wait for the black cement 3s, hate a yellow heal tab
January 22nd, 2011 at 11:29 am
went to the mall near my house no one even there walked in copped 2 easy pickens
January 22nd, 2011 at 12:05 pm
Just went and got mine no line at all, if you are thinking about getting them please do also go pick you up some wearable shoe trees they work like a charm.
January 22nd, 2011 at 12:10 pm
froze outside footlocker for em… The material is pretty good, the box feels like a gift box though.. Overall a great pick up
January 22nd, 2011 at 12:29 pm
there was hardly any lines anywhere went to footloose got 2 pairs no prob nobody stood in line for shit do ur homework homeboy
January 22nd, 2011 at 12:30 pm
2 pairs i luv these
January 22nd, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Okayy. definitely need thesee! Att first i was hating on these ROUGH but then i saw some reviews and damn they look beautiful. Was planning on getting the bordeaux but these are a MUST. Need to get a ride to the mall to cop these NOWW. Hope all the hypebeast in my town havent bought all of them yet -_____-
January 22nd, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Picked mine up, I wanted to get the adult size but I went with the youth.. The box is nice & stuff but I saved $45.
January 22nd, 2011 at 2:03 pm
Good call in waiting til summer, I'm still rocking my III's from '03, I usually let them rookies and young bucks rock em out the box when a new Retro drop's. I rather stand out and wear some old heat then a pair EVERYONE will be wearing today, although some were givin up props on my AJV Retro Blk/Blk-Met Silver from 2000. Good thing about being old is having my J's that say Nike Air on the heel (and the better quality, although think these and my AJV Retro Wht/Blk-Fire Red are on there last legs *sniff, sniff*)
January 22nd, 2011 at 2:06 pm
I actually got up this morning and stood in line for an hour and a half in the cold for these. First time I stood in line for a release since the Mars 4s.
January 22nd, 2011 at 2:07 pm
These are amazing just cleaned my local footlocker out of their size 12s. They basically sold out in 10 minutes
January 22nd, 2011 at 2:29 pm

January 22nd, 2011 at 3:09 pm
You guys sayin no lines at all no else coppin, finishline opened 10 mins before i got there 7 pairs were already sold and 3 of those guys went over to footlocker to get another pair.
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:31 pm

January 22nd, 2011 at 3:50 pm

January 22nd, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Enjoy your wrinkly scrotum 3's kids.
January 22nd, 2011 at 4:00 pm
Damn lucky you. I don't have much of a choice. It's either a 12 or 12.5 in some cases.
January 22nd, 2011 at 4:55 pm

January 22nd, 2011 at 5:28 pm
Midnight rush Online was fail for me.
So went to the footlocker down the street this morning and picked up a pair with zero wait.
Too easy. Dude said only about 20 people were there early. Seems like people are sleeping on these.
January 22nd, 2011 at 5:50 pm

It took me a bit longer than normal to read your post but "Stayz Fressh!", your prolly right…..i think.
January 22nd, 2011 at 8:55 pm
Got these this morning, seriously thinking about returning my pair.
They look longer than the past retros, and I only wear a 9.5
The synthetic tumbled leather looks funny and the tongue has no
padding whatsoever. Even the shoe box is flimsy as hell
January 22nd, 2011 at 8:56 pm
I actually got mine from footlocker.com instead of Nikestore.com. Footlocker website had a countdown and once it hit zero I was able to add it to the cart. I added it within a second and I Still had to wait 15 minutes to checkout.
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:06 pm
yo noob. asia released much earlier than usa foolio.
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:16 pm
nice shirts
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:25 pm
I got mine in 9.5 yesterday (Korea) and I kinda felt they were shorter. I agree with you on the box feeling flimsy, but then again I don't plan on treating my box rough.
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:26 pm
just got mine, and theyre worth every penny and the amount of time that i waited for them. to make things better, they smell kindof like cherries, or is it just me?
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:30 pm
SMH…pretty obvious who the hypebeast is in your town.
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:33 pm
i'm glad your boyfriend hooked it up for you. what do you give back in return?
January 22nd, 2011 at 10:35 pm
Picked up my pair at Finsh Line about an hour and a half ago, got the last 10.5 they had. Shoe is very nice and good quality, box is pretty cheap though.
January 22nd, 2011 at 11:13 pm
yo. i know that because i'm in asia. read my comment carefully please. i read Michael's comment when it had a -12.
January 23rd, 2011 at 1:43 am

January 23rd, 2011 at 1:10 pm
thats the way the boxes were made back in 88
January 23rd, 2011 at 2:19 pm
They should do the packaging for the bordeaux 7s as well.
January 23rd, 2011 at 5:23 pm
This release was effortless…glad to see jumpman releasing some numbers so most people could get them fairly easily. Some stuff came up so i couldn't get to my copp spot til about an hour after they opened but there were no issues; they Still had 2 pair of 12s. I hope that when they release the black/cements next winter they flood the stores with them, like they did with this release.
January 23rd, 2011 at 6:27 pm
I was a little nervous cause I got shut out during the online midnight madness. Then when was relieved to get a 9.5 @ 945AM with ease from a mall just outside a big city here in the midwest.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:27 am
Got em today.. I am an aussie, so i thought i'd find them for $149 us on ebay.. I was wrong.. seems every douche is upselling these puppies at an average of $220 us upward to $300.. You can dere-lict my balls muchacho.. I copped em here in Brisbane for $240 Aus. If u average out the postage, plus the excess charges ebayers and places like Citysole and Pickyourshoes.com that is a reasonable price for one of the greatest kicks of all time! First saw them in Come fly with me in primary school, and along with the white cement air jordan iv, this is my personal grail homie! But you know that paint is gonna crack! jeebus..
January 24th, 2011 at 12:58 pm
Your good quality shoe is made with synthetic leather. I'm so mad I paid $150 on these
January 24th, 2011 at 11:33 pm
People's wallets still hurting from the Holiday season, these will be on the shelves for a week or so
