KD3 "CHRISTMAS"

This was the shoe Durant wore during the Christmas game that year.  As bright as these are, they tend to live under the shadow of the Kobe VI and Lebron VIII Christmas editions that released around the same time.

AIR JORDAN III "STEALTH"

Many pairs of AJ3s released in 2011, and here we have a new colorway that surfaced.  Sneakerheads have given the Stealths (named after the colorway) a lukewarm response, but a true Jordan III fan might just want to give these a chance!

YEAR OF RELEASE:  2011

STYLE CODE:  136064 003
MATERIALS: Suede/nubuck uppers with the area above the cement print being a tumbled leather that has a snakeskin-like quality to the pattern.
COMES WITH:  White laces, cement print box and retro care card.
STREET VALUE: retail.  I got my pair from premierskateboarding.com!

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

SNEAKER REVIEW - KD3 "WOLF GRAY"

This is my second review on the KD3.  Definitely an awesome shoe, I'm still not quite sure that it gets the respect it deserves compared to the wildly popular Kobe and Lebron lines.  Still, any pair of KD3's is a solid pickup and I'm definitely looking forward to adding more pairs to the collection!

AIR JORDAN III "TRUE BLUE 2011"

This is an original colorway of the AJ3 that has retro'd multiple times. Although there is some quality degradation when compared to even the 2009 version, this is still a very popular shoe that continues to sell out with every release.  This pair comes in a special elephant-print colored box with the same print on the inside paper and a retro card.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2011STYLE CODE: 136064 104
MATERIALS: The entire white upper is leather, with the cement print being suede/nubuck..
FEATURES: Mine came with white laces.
STREET VALUE: $210.  I got my pair from premierskateboarding.com!

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
