If you’ve been keeping as up to date with Jordan Brand releases in the past couple of years or so, you’d be well across the Reimagined series.

Bringing back classic Jordan releases is at the top of the agenda for the Reimagined roster, but they don’t just leave it there. Each drop includes some kind of feature update, which generally manifests in a variation of pre-aged detailing. These revisions tend to be a little divisive across the board, but for the upcoming Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Cement’ retro, there will be no such debacle.

Instead you’ll be able to enjoy the ‘Black Cement’ 3s the exact way they were intended. A sweet trip down memory lane, the return of the ‘Black Cement’ is a signal to the heyday of the Air Jordan 3 – one of the franchise's most beloved silhouettes. The great news is that the 2024 edition Air Jordan 3 'Black Cement' is being considered by many, a faithful remaster, set to return in all its smooth leather, Elephant Print and Fire Red glory. Pre-aging included.

As the lore goes, the AJ3 was the first model in the Jordan hangar to feature a visible Air unit, while also being the first to debut the Elephant Print. There’s no doubt the Air Jordan 3 will remain ingrained in sneaker culture for many decades to come.
