FAQs
What makes the 'White Cement Reimagined' special?
This release commemorates the 35th anniversary of the original Air Jordan 3 'White Cement' and aims to replicate the 1988 specifications as closely as possible, including the Nike Air heel branding.
Are these suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball shoe, these are retro lifestyle sneakers. They are best suited for casual wear and light activity, not high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the elephant print sections?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the elephant print. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing to preserve the texture.
What is the difference between this and the original 1988 release?
The 'Reimagined' version aims for maximum authenticity to the 1988 release, including the return of Nike Air branding. Minor variations in materials or manufacturing processes may exist due to modern production techniques.
What size should I get if I'm usually a US size 10?
This guide lists UK sizing. A US Men's size 10 typically corresponds to a UK size 9. However, it is always best to consult a specific size conversion chart for Jordan Brand or the retailer.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but it is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.
What is the warranty on these sneakers?
Typically, new footwear from brands like Jordan may have a limited warranty against manufacturing defects, usually for a short period after purchase. Check with the retailer for specific warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the official Nike or Jordan Brand size chart for the Air Jordan 3 model. Consider that retro releases might have slight variations. If possible, try on a pair in person or consult reviews for specific fit feedback.
Material scuffs easily
The white leather and textured elephant print require careful handling. Use protective shoe sprays designed for leather and avoid abrasive surfaces. Clean scuffs promptly with appropriate cleaning solutions.
Discoloration over time
Yellowing of the midsole or rubber components can occur due to age and material oxidation. This is a natural process for aged footwear. Proper storage in a controlled environment can slow this process.
