Rumored back in April, the classic Air Jordan 3 in “Black/Cement” is geared for a return in early 2018, and now the photos have begun to surface.

Instagram account @_aquamanjay, who claims they are off of NikeTalk, has uploaded real-life photos of the apparent upcoming retro. The details remain true to the original; a majority black upper is matched with an elephant print toe box and rear heel counter, while light grey perforated leather dons the tongue and lace stay area. The photos also reveal a Nike Air rear branding, with a red Jumpman logo on the front of the tongue and, lastly, a retro orange hang tag complements the heralded AJ3.

The release is set for February 17, 2018. See the photos below and if a more modern silhouette is your preference, the “Black/Cement” colorway is also adorning the Air Jordan 32.
