Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Black Cement' (2024)
1988. 2024. Still Untouchable.
Few sneakers carry the weight of the Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Black Cement'. When Tinker Hatfield introduced it in 1988, it didn't just change the Air Jordan line — it changed what basketball shoes could be. The Black Cement colorway became one of the most referenced and revered in the entire Jordan catalog, worn by a 23-year-old Michael Jordan at his most dominant. The 2024 retro brings it back exactly as it should be: unchanged, uncompromised.
The black tumbled leather upper anchors the build with the same rich texture that defined the original, while elephant print overlays wrap the toe and heel in the pattern that became the AJ3's signature. The Jumpman logo appears on both the tongue and heel, and the classic Nike Air heel tab pays direct homage to the shoe's 1988 roots. Visible Air cushioning in the heel completes a silhouette that has never needed updating — because it was already perfect.
