Which OG Colorway Was Better?

Let’s be real—both of these were heavy hitters, but the reactions were different. The White Cement Reimagined pair had people debating the vintage look, similar to how folks felt about the Reimagined Bred 4s. Even with that, they still sold out with no problem.

The Black Cements though? Different story. That release was one of the biggest of 2024. I saw it firsthand working at Champs—pairs were flying. Easily one of the fastest sellouts I’ve seen, right up there with the Metallic 5s.

If we’re talking overall release, I’d give it to the Black Cements. The hype, the demand, everything was there. But if I’m picking what I’d rather wear? I’m going White Cements every time. That colorway is just too clean, too easy to throw on.

Either way, you really can’t go wrong—both are top-tier 3s, no debate.A breakdown of the Air Jordan 3 White Cement Reimagined (2023) and Black Cement (2024). Which release had more hype, better design, and resale value?
