Originally designed, of course, by none other than Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 3 (Retro) "Cement Grey" is an instantly recognizable classic from Nike's vast lineup of basketball shoes, and dates back all the way to 1988.

Most significantly, it features the iconic elephant skin-inspired leather detailing, with dashes of red to contrast the starkly bright base of the sneaker.

Launching the Air Jordan 3 Retro "Cement Grey" has had the internet talking for a wee bit now, and it follows in the footsteps of similar revivals and recirculation of models of the same family tree – and outside of it – within the past year.

Now yours to purchase once again, the Air Jordan 3 Retro "Cement Grey" is an unmistakable member of the Nike family, and has been a staple in the streetwear fashion cosmos for pretty much as long as both've existed. So, bringing back these nostalgic kicks only further cements their legacy – pun intended.
