Air Jordan 3 Retro OG 'Black Cement' 2018 – 854262-001

The Air Jordan 3 Retro OG ‘Black Cement’ 2018 is the definitive retro release of the most iconic colorway in Air Jordan 3 history — a true OG-spec reconstruction of the original 1988 Black Cement colorway that Tinker Hatfield designed for Michael Jordan and that changed sneaker culture forever. Black tumbled leather, grey elephant print overlays, fire red Jumpman on the tongue, and cement grey detailing throughout. This is not just a sneaker. This is a piece of history, built exactly as it was the first time.

Key Features

• Black tumbled leather and grey elephant print overlay upper — the single most iconic design combination in Air Jordan 3 history, rendered in OG-correct materials and proportions that honor the original 1988 colorway in every detail, from the texture of the elephant print to the depth of the black leather finish
• Visible Air unit in the heel with fire red accents — the revolutionary cushioning detail that debuted with the AJ3 in 1988 and changed the sneaker industry’s approach to visible performance technology forever, faithfully reconstructed in period-correct OG-grade execution for the 2018 retro
• Fire Red Jumpman branding on the tongue — the AJ3’s most celebrated finishing detail, rendered in a contrasting fire red that has defined the Black Cement colorway since Michael Jordan first laced them up on the 1988 All-Star court
• OG-spec mesh quarter panels for enhanced breathability and lightweight construction that maintains the performance intent of Tinker Hatfield’s original 1988 design throughout every aspect of the 2018 retro build
• Cement grey and fire red-accented rubber outsole with the AJ3’s signature herringbone traction pattern, faithfully referencing the original Black Cement sole design in period-correct colorway execution
• Nike Air branding (not Jumpman) on the heel tab — the OG-spec finishing detail that distinguishes this 2018 retro release as a true original-grade reconstruction of the 1988 Black Cement
• Style Code: 854262-001

Black. Cement. OG. The Air Jordan 3 Retro OG ‘Black Cement’ 2018 is the standard by which every other AJ3 retro is measured — the colorway that started it all, built exactly as it was in 1988.
