In 2009, Jordan Brand re-released one of the most beloved OG Jordans of all time – the Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’ – under one side-piercing condition: NOT in the United States. A shoe of that magnitude was worth the extra dollars in re-sale prices and shipping costs for stateside Jordan fans, and in turn, the Sneaker News staff deemed it one of the thirty best sneakers of 2009. Two years later, Jordan Brand has decided to release the True Blue III once more, but for all to enjoy. Why release the same shoe just two years apart? 2011 marks the 23rd anniversary of the Air Jordan III, and Nike has decided to re-issue some of the most celebrated original versions, so even if you copped the ’09s, doubling up wouldn’t be a crime. Tomorrow is the official release date for these joints, so check your local Jordan Brand retailer like Extra Butter for a crisp pair, or cop a pair right now on eBay.

June 4th, 2011 at 12:22 am
Oh yes! Thank you eastbay!
I just ordered 1 pair. Thats good enough for me.
Gotta be smart with my money now.
Now time to start saving up for the concord 11s right. Put aside $10 a week should do the trick!
June 4th, 2011 at 12:24 am
And they will crumble right in front of everyone LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 4th, 2011 at 12:27 am
I'm with you on that. Started to double up , but decided to pick up the camo Kobes instead.
June 4th, 2011 at 12:43 am
man ur such a newbie u donkey! who gives a eff'ed if u cop 2 pairs for less than what others payed for, everybody gon get the same pair as & same price if they got their hookups..your may be crisp, brand new but gon crack after wearing dem twice lol.. my 01's still crisp, no yellowing & no cracking after a handful of times of rocking dem… 01's still da winner..

June 4th, 2011 at 1:26 am
Am I the only one who had problems with some of the shoe sites? At midnight EST Nike.com said the Jordan 3 True Blue was not available. I was like WTF?! Then the Finishline.com site crashed. Yes, it crashed! And as I type this, it's still not up.
June 4th, 2011 at 1:52 am
actually the 3's run a little big for me, im usually 10.5 but i grab a size 10 in the threes. and yes beware of the toe box crease! rocked mine for a little and the crease started so rock with caution my dudes! and good luck to everyone thats tryna cop!
June 4th, 2011 at 2:28 am

June 4th, 2011 at 11:17 am
Copped two pair. Jus in time cause my 09's are bout done. Smh at Internet thugs hating On the OG & 2001 true blue 3's. Talkin all that shit on sneakernews but u know good and damn well if u seen someone with a fresh pair of 2001's u wouldnt say shit to their face.
June 4th, 2011 at 11:21 am
FAIL on so many levels. Cant get em so he calls it Hype. Youre Wack!
June 4th, 2011 at 11:23 am
Same thing happened to me. I ended up ordering from Eastbay. I still had to wait in line to check out though. I believe it was like an hour and 30 min. Shame…..
June 4th, 2011 at 11:33 am

June 4th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
it only went through if you get an order confirmation on email..paypal wont go through if they dont send the shoes.
June 4th, 2011 at 1:09 pm
If anyone needed a reminder they shouldn't be allowed to get them.
June 4th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
lmao lame ass fools these days
June 4th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Anyone know if the quality is different from the 09 release?
Like as in the paint chipping issue. I know they will crease on the side soles and etc, that's fine.
But my 09's are chipped pretty badly…from just casual summer wear.
June 4th, 2011 at 1:56 pm
WTF is wrong with you ppl does not anybody have a pair of OG true blues OG's are 88', more like 2001,
but shit idgaf mine are more fresh then 2001's, they have the same jump man on the back, now I would'nt be saying this if they had a Nike Air but they dont so its the same shit, but I gaurantee you mine are fresher then anybody's 2001 anyday, don't get me wrong 2001's are valuable but they have no nike air making it the same shit RETRO, being said out with the old in with the new, now if you have a fresh pair of 88's now your talking, but mine still clean and TUFF.
June 4th, 2011 at 2:50 pm
Aye!!! I got the last pair at finishline! I fuckin love em…
June 4th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
lmaoo the "cool blues" smh……
June 4th, 2011 at 2:54 pm
strolled into my finishline at 2pm today and copped with ease, how it should be…too bad I was just lucky and the last few pairs were from reservations who no-showed. decent quality, just like the cements, ive got no complaints.
June 4th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
lmfao again with the cool blues smdhhh….
June 4th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
lol this guys just usin diff names tryna start shit lol
June 4th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Just copped these. Now I can trash my fire red 3's
June 4th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
Couldn't get them . If anyone can find me a size 12 greatly appreciate it . I had to go to the doctors to see my son , but i got my son over shoes . Are they worth the buy anyone , tell me if they have good qualtiy . Possibility of re-stock ?
June 4th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Fairly easy copp today; JB produced a boat load of these things. Like the Bordeauxs and white/cements. These True Blues will re-stock at the major online retailers next tuesday/wednesday. So if you missed out, you'll be fine next week.
June 4th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
Good job to all those who got them…i had to order mine online so i can't smell the freshness and look at them, but damn these are the best shoes in the world in my opinion!!!!!
June 4th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Half The People Saying "Imma Cop 2" "Imma Cop 3" Ain't Even gonna "cop" 1. Lol, Shame
June 4th, 2011 at 8:00 pm
Man i copped these morning at finishline and they came with a lil crease in the front of both shoes .
June 4th, 2011 at 8:00 pm
My man, I have a size 11.5…. may fit you, IDK, if you are interested email me directly at yourairness2311@gmail.com. Real seller,want to confirm? "Google" me @ yourairness2311. Also have a size 11 if someone did not get their size 11.
June 4th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
its great to live in a small city where u can go to your local sneaker stores at 8 PM and they won't be sold out
June 4th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
I have the same problem with my Black cat. I wear it everyday when I have it since I mostly wear black but wear these to a minimum. Other people said the have creases & dont spray the cleaner on the paint cause its gonna chip off. The material sucks but I go the warning shot already.
June 4th, 2011 at 11:14 pm
get out bro
June 5th, 2011 at 1:02 am
Really? what size did you grab? My size 10.5 was absolutely perfect. I was very surprised about the quality with the true blues… Leather looks great. SMH they saying the Cement 4's will be synthetic….. why??
June 5th, 2011 at 1:07 am
LMAO! This dood cracks me up! Guy called the Space Jams the True Blue 11's lol.
SneakerHead, I'll trade you my Grape 8's for your True Blue 11's?
Monsta? Monsta?
t(o_ot)
June 5th, 2011 at 3:29 am
Same here got those black cats….paint gradually chipped after handful of wears…a little cautious about coppin these
June 5th, 2011 at 3:36 am
I really miss the nike air on the back and insole of the shoes…I think JB should have made the countdown packs in og form
June 5th, 2011 at 10:48 am
Is that limited production?
June 5th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Why does everyone get thumbs down when they say they'll buy multiple pairs?
I mean seriously, I know there's a lot of hype but I wouldn't care.
These are one of my favourite Js and I wear them a lot, so I want to have a pair in reserve until they get retroed again. Anyway, two pairs for me. ;D
June 5th, 2011 at 5:01 pm
yo broke ahh ! lol
June 5th, 2011 at 5:53 pm
I Got Em yesterday last pair footlocker dallas!
June 5th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
i got em not selling them ima wear em!
June 5th, 2011 at 7:13 pm
The TB 3's are synthetic too, not leather. White Jordan 4's were never made of leather. EVER.
June 5th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
they still have a full size run at all of the stores where i live lol
June 6th, 2011 at 10:08 am
