Updated March 12th, 2024: Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” Won’t Be a “Reimagined” Release
The upcoming Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” will not be part of the “Reimagined” series, as reported by Sneaker Files and Sole Retriever. Instead, this release will adhere to the original specifications from 1988, without any aging or modifications under the Reimagined umbrella. The release date is still set for November 23rd, 2024, with full-family sizing available, and adult pairs priced at $220.

The Air Jordan 3 “White Cement Reimagined” of 2023 met consumers’ expectations perfectly, presenting the iconic original colorway from 1988 with an aged vintage appearance. This straightforward and successful formula made it one of the year’s most sought-after shoe releases. Given the relatively weak performance of Retro releases at retail, it comes as no surprise that Jordan Brand aims to replicate that success in 2024.
According to Sole Savy, Jordan Brand is following the same approach with the Air Jordan 3 “Black/Cement”. The midsole will feature a similar pre-worn appearance with gentle yellowing, although the application of “Reimagined” to the all-black upper raises some curiosity. It’s clear that merely swapping materials won’t satisfy the expectations of the Jordan community.
The Air Jordan 3 “Black/Cement” last released in 2018 with Nike Air branding on the heel. It’s widely regarded as one of the best Retro drops of the last decade, with current grey market prices reaching triple the original MSRP.
Further details about the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement Reimagined” are currently unavailable. Stay tuned for updates, and anticipate these shoes on our Jordan Release Dates calendar for Holiday 2024.
On the topic of Reimagined releases, the Jordan 4 “Bred Reimagined” is scheduled to drop this weekend on February 17th.
