Name: Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement”
Colorway: Black/Fire Red/Cement Grey/Sail
SKU: DN3707-010
MSRP: $220 USD
Release Date: November 23
Where to Buy: Nike

Update: We’re just a few weeks away from the return of the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” and Nike has provided a final visual preview of the sneaker. The familiar black, gray and red colorway stays true to its original look, as described in our previous coverage below. Release remains anticipated for November 23 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $220 USD.


Update: A first clear look at the 2024 Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” retro has been revealed, thanks to product images from JD Sports. Though the pair had been shown before via early leak images, those images’ low quality and large watermark didn’t show many of the shoe’s details — but this new set enables an up-close look at the remastered classic. Check out the images above and read the original story/previous updates below for more info.


Update: It’s been some months since the last round of rumors surrounding the return of the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” surfaced. Originally though to be a “Reimagined” pair, it was later clarified that it would be a proper re-release, which we can now confirm thanks to a first look at the sneaker. Its key elements are all there — the black leather upper, elephant print overlays, Nike Air heel branding and so on. Release remains anticipated for November 23 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $220 USD. Stay tuned for updates, including a closer look at the pair, and be sure to review our previous coverage of the drop below for more info.

Update: It’s been nearly a month since the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” was rumored to be joining Jordan Brand’s “Reimagined” series. However, a new report from zSneakerHeadz and Sneaker Files has clarified that it will not be a “Reimagined” pair after all, rather, it will stick to the original specifications of 1988’s “Black Cement” release. Stay tuned for updates, including a first look at the pair in the months to come, as it is currently expected to release on November 23 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a price of $220 USD.

Original Story: It’s been 36 years since the Air Jordan 3 first released, and the silhouette continues to receive love with new and classic looks touching down on shelves throughout each year. Jordan Brand kicked off the sneaker’s exciting 2024 run with an “Ivory” colorway earlier this month and is rumored to be releasing a new “Brown Cement” arrangement, as well as a second A Ma Maniére collaboration utilizing the design in “Burgundy Crush.” Adding to the list of anticipated drops, Marco Negrete of SoleSavy has reported that a “Black Cement Reimagined” pair is on the way this holiday season.

Last spotted in 2018, the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” (2018 pair pictured above) is already set to be flipped this year with a new “Green Glow” iteration adding green accents. However, a “Reimagined” version may prompt more significant adjustments as it is said to replicate the shape of last year’s “White Cement Reimagined.”

At the time of writing, we’ve yet to receive confirmation from Jordan Brand that an Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement Reimagined” will be arriving in the future. However, it’s currently expected to be a holiday release via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at an expected price of $200 USD. Stay tuned for updates as a first look at the pair is likely to surface in the coming months.
