Woooowwwwww...I can now finally say I know how the OG sneaker head collectors feel when shoes get retroed and re-retroed. Back in 2001, I picked up two pairs of the Air Jordan III White/Cement. It was the shoe Mike jumped from the free throw line to win the dunk contest in...#nuffsaid. I had looked at these shoes since a kid on the poster in my room and I knew as soon as it was possible for me, they would be on my feet and in my closet.I had never copped two pairs of one shoe in my life, but at that time I knew that there was something special about these J's and I wanted to keep another pair on ice for "a while". Well...9 years later and I have 1 pair pretty decently rocked and that other pair is still sitting there DS. DS = deadstock/never worn, tried on, etc for you non-sneaker heads.
It seems a little anti-climactic to know that these are releasing again when I still have them in my closet, but now I can feel everyones pain who has been in the game for a long time. I guess I couldn't really consider myself a "shoe head" until I has my first two pairs of these Air Jordan III's. The Cement III's will always hold a special place for me and be a shoe I will remember forever. Why buy another pair when I already have one unworn now? I have no idea...but these will be mine, again.
