What’s the best retro of the ‘Black Cement’ Air Jordan 3?
I love the 2018 Black Cement Air Jordan 3s version!!!! It has been an awesome retro since 1988!!!!!!
2018
Why did you edit Welty at the 44 minute mark when he’s talking about the BC3?
Can you please release the sneaker of the year quickly you guys always take a long time just publish it
2018 pair is not tumbled leather its pebbled leather big difference the OG 1988 pair didnt have pebbled leather. This 2024 pair has tumbled leather not pebbled main reason u dont have those deep grain ridges in the shoe which comes from a stamp basically and usually pebbled leather is cheaper quality. So technically the 2024 is better quality and more accurate to the OG pair from 1988.
Wild how they switched up on Yaghty like that so fast.
