First released in 1988, the Air Jordan 3 Black Cement is one of the most iconic sneakers ever made. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, it was the shoe that introduced the famous elephant print and the first to feature the visible Air unit. Michael Jordan wore them during the 1988 season — including his legendary Dunk Contest in Chicago. Since then, the Black Cement 3s have been retro’d multiple times, each release flying off shelves. A mix of history, design, and on-court legacy, the Black Cement 3 isn’t just a sneaker — it’s a piece of basketball culture.
