Rotation Foundations: The Air Jordan 3 ‘Cement Grey’ Lands

Since the introduction in 1988, MJ's third signature hooper has been synonymous with ‘Cement’ grey colouring and elephant print panels. Dreamt up by none other than legend , these features famously formed part of the shoe that 'saved' , often serving as a focal point for key retro and celebratory releases. For 2024, these elements reappear on the Air Jordan 3 ‘Cement Grey’ – an OG-inspired colourway that’s just landed at JD Sports.

Last year saw the OG Air Jordan 3 ‘’ arrive as part of Jordan Brand’s ‘Reimagined’ series, but although this one may look familiar, this year’s offering bears a few tweaks. The 2024 ‘Cement Grey’ features similar tumbled white uppers and a bright red Jumpman logo on the tongue, but swaps out the red accented lower eyelets for grey versions and comes fitted out with a Jumpman heel tab. The pair's mudguards have also been refitted in a tonal grey shade, which complements the stormier, almost black hue that forms the base of the elephant print panels. Each of these is a subtle difference that makes the ‘Cement Grey’ AJ3 stand out in its own right.

For those who missed out, want to keep their ‘White Cement’ for better weather, or have been holding out for something a little different, the Air Jordan 3 ‘Cement Grey’ is another fitting homage to a pivotal moment in Jordan Brand history.
