AIR JORDAN IV "WHITE CEMENT"

Here we have an O.G. colorway that retro'd in 1999 and again with this pair over a decade later.  The white cements were famously worn in the movie Do The Right Thing.  Of course, this newer retro had tons of hype surrounding the release and have already risen significantly in value.  The shoes get their name from the contrasting mostly white upper and splattered grey areas of the midsole.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2012
STYLE CODE: 308497 103
MATERIALS: The shoe is leather all over.
COMES WITH:   They come with white laces, a hangtag and a special box.
STREET VALUE: $280-300.  I got my pair from premierskateboarding.com!

AIR JORDAN III "BLACK CEMENT"

Here, we have the latest release of this colorway in this model, the last retro having been the better half of a countdown package in 2008.  The main differences between this version and previous iterations include the shade of red being darker, the cut being skinnier and higher, as well as the black part of the midsole being shinier.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2011
STYLE CODE: 136064 010
MATERIALS: The black portions have a mix of tumbled and smooth leather, with the elephant print being a suede/nubuck material.
COMES WITH:  These come with black laces, a card explaining the shoe's technology, and a box partially covered in elephant/cement print.
STREET VALUE: $250

AIR JORDAN III "WHITE CEMENT"

Here we have another OG colorway of the Air Jordan 3 that has been retro'd several times.  It continues to be popular and sell out nearly every time it releases.  This newest version seems to crease very easily, and may eventually face problems similar to other III's, namely chipping and yellowing on the midsole.  However, they look clean as hell when new and are definitely a good look for those that don't have a pair already!
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2011
STYLE CODE:  136064 105
MATERIALS: Leather uppers with nubuck/suede on the cement area.
COMES WITH:  White laces, cement print box, plastic hangtag and retro card.
STREET VALUE: $250

AIR JORDAN III "BLACK CEMENT"

Another very popular OG colorway of the AJ3, the Black Cements have been released multiple times.  Here we have the pair from the countdown package.  One notable difference of the CDP III's is the jumpman logo on the back instead of Nike Air.   The insoles are also different (earlier releases did not say 2008 on them).
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2008
STYLE CODE:  340254 061
MATERIALS: The shoe is leather all over except above the midsole which has suede/nubuck elephant print around the toebox and rear.
COMES WITH:  My pair was used so it just came with a replacement box and black laces.  New pairs came in a special larger box in order to accommodate the pair of XX's also included in the pack.
STREET VALUE: $200-300
