Air Jordan 3 Retro "White Cement '88" (2013)

The One That Started It All. In Its Most Original Form. — Air Jordan 3 Retro "White Cement ‘88" 2013

The Air Jordan 3 White Cement is the original colorway of the shoe that changed everything — the exact color combination that Tinker Hatfield designed when he convinced Michael Jordan that Nike still had something worth staying for. The ‘88 designation refers to 1988, the year MJ wore the White Cement AJ3 during one of the most celebrated seasons in NBA history — the year he won Slam Dunk Contest, Defensive Player of the Year, and MVP in the same season. The 2013 retro delivered it with the Nike Air heel branding that OG purists had been demanding, making it the most historically accurate White Cement retro of its era.

Key Features

• Colorway: White / Cement Grey / Fire Red / Black — the original OG White Cement color combination, unchanged since 1988
• Upper: Tumbled white leather with cement grey elephant print overlays — the AJ3’s most iconic material combination in its original OG colorway
• Cushioning: Visible Air-Sole unit in the heel — the innovation that made the AJ3 revolutionary, with ‘88-spec Nike Air heel branding that marks this as the most OG-accurate retro
• Outsole: White rubber outsole with herringbone traction pattern and Fire Red accent hits
• Details: Nike Air tongue branding (‘88 OG spec), Fire Red midsole accents, cement grey elephant print throughout, and Jumpman branding — the complete OG White Cement spec faithfully restored
