FAQs

What makes the "Black Cement" colorway iconic?

The "Black Cement" colorway is iconic because it was one of the original colorways released for the Air Jordan 3 in 1988, featuring a bold combination of black, grey, white, and red, along with the then-new elephant print, cementing its place in sneaker history.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While the Air Jordan 3 offers good cushioning and support for its era, the 2024 retro is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It is not recommended for intense athletic performance compared to modern basketball shoes.

How do I clean the elephant print?

Gently wipe the elephant print with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this can damage the textured finish.

What is the difference between men's and grade school sizing?

Grade school (GS) sizing is designed for children and typically runs smaller than men's sizing. A GS size 5 is roughly equivalent to a men's size 5 (or a women's size 6.5), but it's always best to check a size conversion chart.

Are these a limited release?

As a highly anticipated retro release, the "Black Cement" Air Jordan 3 is often produced in limited quantities, making it sought after by collectors. Availability can vary.

Can adults wear grade school sizes?

Yes, many adults, particularly those with smaller feet, can wear grade school sizes. It's recommended to consult a size conversion chart and try them on if possible, as the fit can differ slightly from adult sizes.

What year was the original Air Jordan 3 "Black Cement" released?

The original Air Jordan 3 "Black Cement" was released in 1988.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure feet are measured correctly, considering that retro Jordan sizing can vary slightly. Try on with the type of socks you typically wear.

Scuffs on white leather or midsole

Use a magic eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution with a soft cloth or brush for minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional cleaning might be necessary.

Elephant print losing texture

Avoid excessive bending or creasing of the shoe. Clean gently with a damp cloth and store properly to maintain the texture.

Tongue or collar feels stiff

Wear the shoes regularly to break them in. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the material slightly over time.
