Originally released as one of the four OG colorways in 1988, the Air Jordan 3 Black/Cement saw several retro releases, in 1994, 2001, and in 2008 as part of the Air Jordan 20/3 Collezione (Countdown) Pack. This 2011 release is part of an Air Jordan 3 retro drop that commemorated the 23rd anniversary of the shoe. A non-OG retro release, this version has the Jumpman logo on the tongue and heel section.
