I'm a og at 52 and the first pair of original Jordan 3's I got back in 1988 was the fire red 3's so these have more nostalgic value for me than the white cement 3's. Both pairs are 🔥! Another great video and review MK!👍
@@mkthetruthdodbent4089 lol, you can't go wrong with either pair. I do see your point about wanting the shoes to be pre aged since it look evenly aged and all done at once. But on the other side of the coin a og guy like me loves breaking in the sneakers the old fashioned way, by wearing them! 😀👍
OG here as well. I’ll go with the Cements. I remember when they dropped originally. But you can’t go wrong either way. We lived in the greatest era of sneakers 1998-1995
@@Peezy71421 yeah those were great years. My fondest memory was being at the 1993 NBA Finals in Phoenix Arizona watching MJ and the Bulls win their 3rd consecutive championship. Go Bulls!
I like both. The cements can wear with anything damn near the 🔥 red's just look doper, cleaner and standout more and have more detail to them. I'll have to pick the 🔥 red's.
As much as I love a crispy new clean sneaker the reimagined just for so many reasons gets my vote hands down. The uniqueness of the pre aged look along with the story of the reimagined series. Then you add the fact that they just stretched the life and wear ability of the shoe and it wins for all common sense and practical reasons.
The more I see those fire red 3s, the more I want them. They are one of the og colourways, after all. However, I think my recent double up on the white cements just, well, /cements/ my preference between the two. If Jordan Brand ever releases the true blues in this updated cut...
What's funny is I did the same thing when I picked up my pair on Saturday. To me though I really do think it would depend on what mood I'm in at the time. I do have a lot of red in my wardrobe so I will probably end up wearing fire reds more.
I didn’t get the Reimagined because I have the Fire Reds but I’m here because I can get the Reimagined at retail from a friend.. i didnt know that sail hits made that much of a difference 🔥🔥.. I can’t choose.. Great professional vid per usual brotha
I think it’s a pretty even comparison I like the fire red more but the white cement has more neutral colors , if I had to buy one it would be the white cement , However I doubled up on both
That white, black, sail, and elephant print just flows better imo. I prefer the lighter and thinner elephant print, but wouldn't want that on the Fire Reds -- the darker fits better on that shoe. Great comparison vid!
Mannnnnn I honestly love both of these and the true blues equally. But as far as wearability I’d say the white cements have it. Pre-aged or not they just go with any and everything 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fire Reds are way better in my opinion. I’m not a fan of the aging look on the “white” cement reimagined shoes. For $210, I don’t want my shoes to be pre-aged. That’s like a car dealership selling you a brand new car for MSRP and the paint is faded.
Depending on the type of day it is will make the difference in which pair to wear for me… if it’s a nice day out then the bright whites are coming out… if it’s a gloomy but NO rain day the cements will be the move and u will be able to spot the difference in the shoe
With all the QC issues that the White Cements seem to have I'm not all that broken up about not hitting on them, seeing as how I also have 2 pairs of the Fire Reds.
Same here, after watching numerous RU-vidrs complaining about almost every pair of wc3's had QC issues I was glad I didn't waste money on them. I have the fire red 3's and they are perfect. 👍
I just opened my White Cements today. I wasn't even going to buy them because I thought they were a bit boring compared to the Fire Reds which I love. But after seeing the Reimagined in-hand my god they are beautiful! They are my favorite now and I can see why people love them as they are so clean! They can be worn with a lot more outfits too. The Fire Reds are so much fun though so I am glad to own both! 😊
I was wondering if the Fire Red had the same tooling (i.e. toe box). Also did not know the the Reimagined was not pure white. Great comparison and been searching for a video to do as such!!
Those reimagined 3's are even going to look worse in the future, and you definately wouldn't want to wear those anymore. I'd rather get a white pair and age them myself.
Once those fire reds start aging them joints gonna be hard to, 3s are one of the hand full of Mike’s that go crazy broken in and the Nike air on the back freak the whole aesthetic of the shoe
First thing I also did when I got home is compare them to my fire reds. Definitely caught the leather color difference immediately. Would’ve preferred if jb left the wc3s without doing the reimagined look. Fire red 3s still my favorite!
I hate the reimagining concept. I still got a pair of the white cements and also fire reds. But I simply just want ny sneakers how they would look new. They’ll get yellow eventually so let me do it myself
Man o man..sold all 3 of my retail fire red 3s! Need them back ASAP! Great comparison. Same thing happened to fire reds that people are dawgin the white cements for……inconsistent is the norm.
Nike! smart for bringing sneakers out, with the whole vintage look, they knew that people didn't like, when there shoes turned that yellowish/off white color
Next month, do a Jordan 3 Wizards Vs the Cardinal 3's from last year?!? I did cop the Cardinal 3's but I also slept on how fire they are, until I took them out the box last week for the first time since I bought them. I hear the Wizard 3's are just as fire except the midsole is blue.
I HAVE A PAIR OF THE OG'S THE ONES THEY PUT OUT IN 2017 THEY CALLED THEM THE HALL OF FAME RETRO'S WIT BLACK NIKE ON BACK AND THEY HAVE PURE WHITE AROUND WHERE THEY AGED THOSE I HAVE THEM FOR SELL ON OFFER UP FOR $250 STILL LOOK BRAND NEW BUT THE NIKE INSOLE WASN'T PUT ON THEM FOR SOME REASON 🤔
Sitting here waiting by the window for fedex to drop off my pair 👌🏽 But dam yeah i didnt notice the upper leather is a different white ! Ima def compare my pair too my fire reds also, great content G peace
Thanks for doing this. I wasn’t able to get the reimagined but like many here I guess, I managed to get the fire reds. So I wanted to decide how much I should chase the reimagined (I have bought a personal pair for resale yet)
I’ma white cement kinda guy. Love the crisp of the fire red but they executed the WC3 Perfect and I think they’ll still look good later idk could be wrong
This is weird cause I just got my reimagined kicks yesterday and I did just what you did in this video. That's wassup and imma cheat and say both but the black and white joints are my favorite. I do have a question if you can find the time to respond. What do you think of Nike calling the reimagined, cement 3's when it's clearly elephant print? I literally been going back and forth on fb with people about this. I literally been wearing Jordan 3's since day 1. My first pair where the black elephant print. Me and my father went out and bought them. Believe it or not he actually still has his pair all these years later. Trying to get them up off him lol.
The og reimagined is far superior and more celebrated, jordan wore that color way when he glides from free-throw line in dunk contest .way more history to it, so for me , far more meaning to its predecessor .
I was looking for this. On point. I just got the fire reds from snipes website a few days ago. Had a quick restock but I like the pop with the fire reds. 🔥vid
I am happy I got the red and white 2023 and the white 2010 I put my right on the store hahah I am old school old head but the white is a little long and I they run small I am a size 8 have ti buy 8 1/2
to me the colorway on the reimagined is better but the leather quality and wear on the fire reds is better can I tell instantly wearing and feeling the reimagines they are not like when I wear the fire reds
The video I’ve been looking for. I took L’s on WC3 and have thought about just being satisfied with the fire reds or paying resale. Fire Reds were way more consistent across pairs.
At the 0:43 mark about RU-vidrs beating a sneaker for content, some have drop 7-8 videos on the reimagine 3s, it's becoming overkill...lol, I have both sneakers and like the White Cements better than the Fire Reds
