DUNK HIGH "SHIMA SHIMA 3"

click photo to enlarge

AIR JORDAN III "FIRE RED"

This is the first and only retro of the OG "Fire Red" colorway of this shoe.  About time for another retro, no?
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2006
STYLE CODE:  136064 161
MATERIALS:  Leather uppers with nubuck/suede print
COMES WITH:  White laces
STREET VALUE:  $2-300

DUNK HIGH "SHIMA SHIMA 3"

This is the third in the Shima Shima (Stripe Stripe) series and spots a colorway similar to the dunk low sb "Homer".  These feature Japanese characters on the insole and tongue tag and a striped inner liner and were a Euro-only release.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2003
STYLE CODE:  305287 171
MATERIALS:  The blue parts are leather, the swoosh is suede and the rest is mesh
COMES WITH:  Yellow sb laces
STREET VALUE:  $150

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!

SNEAKER REVIEW - KD3 "ALL STAR GAME"

Kevin Durant has typically released his shoes at a lower price point than Kobe, Lebron, and Jordan.  I'm not sure if it's this factor or the wider availability that had the KD3 being overlooked by collectors, but when the Christmas editions dropped, people started to pay more attention.  While the silhouette doesn't suit all color combinations, the ASG or All Star Game colorway is a definite good look and is sought after to some extent by sneakerheads.

SNEAKER REVIEW - NIKE AIR 3 HYPERBLUE

This is another retro colorway of what was once known as the Air Garnett 3.  Of course, with KG no longer signed to Nike, these had to undergo a name change and some tweaks in the detailing in order to be rereleased.  Regardless what they are called, the signature gradient gives these a quality that definitely turns heads.

SNEAKER REVIEW - AIR JORDAN III "SILVER ANNIVERSARY"

This pair supposedly released only on the West Coast as well as online.  As with the Silver Anniversary IVs that dropped at the same time, these J's are simply retros of the Pure Money version of the shoes that released in 2007.  The originals were somewhat popular when they released, but resale value of them is low because the shoes tend to get dirty looking very quickly.  These feature "Pure $" embroidered beneath the pull tab in addition to the special print on the laces.
