WHICH ONE IS BETTER??? 

I agree, if the 2023s were fresh white instead of the vintage look they’d be perfect. Everything else looks great on them. Both are beautiful shoes though .

i like the low profile look of the new white cement 3s so thats definitely a plus, but I agree they need to chill on pre-aging stuff because its a bit overkill now

I like the elephant print, cut of the tongue, and slim cut of sneaker on the reimagined 3’s better. Can’t wait to get my pair in March.

I like the vintage theme, and how Nike is making them close to the OG. At least they didn’t put the cracked leather on them.

Rich Nation stand up!!!!!

2023 is a way better sneaker because of the cut and low cement print, I can live with the vintage look, I really haven't bought a lot of 3's over the past five years because of the cut, which I hated, that's why I got rid of my 2018 black cements, but now since they're giving us a not so boxy toe-box and lower elephant print I can rock with 3's

I like the elephant print and the shape on the reimagined better. Although I like the white better on the free throw line 3’s. Both 🔥🔥

Love the reimagined better. The OG cut is classic.

I prefer the Free Throw Line version. The aged cream color on the new version doesn’t match the rest of the shoe to me. Although the shape one the new 3’s is better.

I'm going with free throw line 🔥🔥🔥

it's a must cop for me but I would have liked the 2023 to be new white instead of aged.

Easy pass, I don't like the old look on a $220 shoe. I love the free throw line, the ice out bottom make it pop.

the reason i dont like the pre aged look and prefer OG is that when it starts to yellow you can buy touch up paint and keep it white .not everyone wants to do that but i feel so long as you take care of them they will last longer

Free Throw Lines. No aging. Just a clean plaid

Being that 3s are My favorite silhouette you can't go wrong with either, BUT the 2023 88's are 🔥🔥🔥 The shape and elephant print is OG. Impressive drop!

I pick the 2023 white cements. I think the sail hits on the shoe add another element making the shoe more versatile. Allowing you the opportunity to pair them with more outfits. I’m not a fan of the icy bottoms on any shoe. The way they did the Bordeaux 6s with the smoked out translucent is my favorite. I do understand that a smoked out bottom on the free throw line 3s would clash. Dope video. Later man.

I care more about the shape of the 3 I would rather age them myself but it’s not a deal breaker.

Ya I love this kick for sure. 🔥 review. Thanks for breaking this out! I agree with that icy bottom. Could have been different!

The color is different too wow I agree with you Mike I like the newest style better than the OG’s

Yeah! Definitely prefer the 2023 Reimagined better. If they were crispy white they would of been perfect!

Yeah, I gotta say that the vintage look isn't a deal breaker for me, but I gotta go with the clean, fresh look. I got a pair of the 88's, so I'm not sure if I'll be going after the reimagined ones yet. Thanks for another dope video!

they're both fresh, and they both have things I don't like...I agree about the clear bottom of the FTL's..the vintage look of the 23 is not deal breaker, but they would look better clean white... I think I'll take the 23's over the free throw lines, me personally....another dope video as usual 😎

Resell price is too much on these, I hate that shoe shops can just put whatever price they want on kicks, stupid

Free throw line for sure. The elephant pops better and I'm just a fiend for icy soles. I might even be in the minority.....to say that.....I prefer the 2011 jordan XI retro over perhaps even the OG XI concord and the first retro of it in 2000.....because of that icy sole....

I'm not a fan of the "reimagined" worn/aged look.....I want my shit extra crispity!!! Let me age my own kicks....plus I got a wide foot so Free Throws perfect for me, fat tongue & er'thang!

I like the 2023 aged version of the WC3's. Loved the comparison you did. Hopefully be able to cop a pair.

I prefer the OG White Cement 3s without oxidation nice review and video

OG are way much more better because them free throw lines them clear bottoms gonna get tore apart I like the upcoming white cement way much better

I remember they first retro in ‘94… I was sick my homiez had em’… joints 🥶… I rock with the reimagined ‘88 joints

I still have my free-throw line 3's and still like new. They are like the original pair minus the clear bottom. My first pair of Jordan's were the white elephant print so I would know. I'm definitely one of those people who aren't a fan of these vintage looking shoes.

I hope they keep that same energy when they drop but going to be the main ones going to try and get them and say I got them just to have them😂

great comparison. Gratitude. I prefer the reimagined.

The originals I'm rocking with 👏💫

Hope errrrr boddyyy havvving a blesssssedddd day today ! You too Rich 👏🏾

I like the 2023 much better. The vintage hits are nice but the shape and OG elephant print puts it over the top.

First!! Mos def think da reimagined 3 r best dey sooooo 🔥🔥!!

I agree with you about doing the grey bottom with the free throw line

They both 🔥🔥 people just want to complain about something. Sad part about it the ones complaining will be the one a mad they didn't get them on SNKRS

Aged look aside, I wish the reimagineds were stark white like the FT 3's

What up Rich I like the re-imagine probably because I don't have white cements yet in the collection so it's a done deal for me so I'll definitely be going for them appreciate the comparison broski keep'em coming bruh. 👍🏾💯💪🏾

I like the sleekness of the reimagines, the tongue and elephant print but as you mentioned I prefer the white on the sole & back as you mentioned. 😊 great vid.

I personally prefer the crispy white but the vintage ain’t bad I guess they kool

The shape been so FAT on 3s the past 10 years, I thought I didn’t like the silhouette anymore. The old ones like DOUBLE the size 🤣They got it right now. Night and day difference - I’m rockin w these!

I like them both, copped the pair in 2018 for Valentines Day for my son. Going for 2023 pair in March, my birthday month.

the narrow and hidden red on the tongue threw me on the reimagined. Black cements and Tinker 3s have the fat tongue, which I like more for the pop of color.

One of your best vids, definitely make more comparison vids, keep up the great content

So glad you did this video cause me and my cousin were talking about going back and getting the free throw lines. Even though the shape is nice on the reimagined I do like the clean look of the Freethrow lines. I would prob wear the FT line 3s and hold the reimagined

I can appreciate the new OG shape and less bulkiness being a size 13

I get the Lost and Found 1’s. GREAT idea. BUT!!! It should’ve stopped there. I wanna make shoes old myself.

The elephant print is thinner on the newer pair around the toe box

I honestly like the crisp white of the free throw lines

I agree with the icy bottoms

The free-throw are cool, but let’s be real icy sole on the bottom now really crazy about it on a 3 so reimagined all day for the win 👏👏👏

RICH NATION IN THIS THANG MANE!!!

Damn now that i see they completely different i prefer the reimagined wayy better we been getting em too bulky lately

88’s are the BEST in my humble opinion

I’ve been missing out on cement threes and I like this take on the OG !!! I’m shooting for em … both are FIRE

I like the OG slim look !!

The shape of the 23 is much better and the elephant print is also better but I like the white better on the free throw line color blocking better

2013 88's, then the FTL, then reimagined. all FIRE!

Prob grab a pair for my dad. I can remember him wearing the OGs when i was little. Them and the white blk grey 10s.

I was just as happy getting my hands on the FTL 3s, haven't had a WC3 since 1988. Have to go with the Reimagined pair because they're more like the OG. I'm like you....wish the FTLs didn't have the icy outsoles

I still would rather have the 2023 pair cause that ice bottom will throw the hole shoes off when they turn yellow

2023 version easily. Closer to the OG.

I don't wear my Free Throw line 3's because their too bulky looking on feet, so I can't wait to cop the new slimmer OG White Cement 3's.

Not feeling the aged look free throw line 3s for the win

I’m going with 2023 with darker cream laces.

Love the Free Throw Line joints heavy!!!! The Reimagined White Cement 3’s im not liking that pre-yellowed ish. Who told them we wanted that? I love both but Free Throw Lines go harder. Maybe it’s just me.

I’m going with the 2023. They will age better, the low elephant print and they don’t have the translucent outsole that will yellow

I like the red contrast behind the tongue on the FTL

Don’t bother me at all! I need to double up on em . 3s are my favorite retro!!

I like the vintage look better 2023

I feel the same way, like I don’t mind the age look but definitely prefer the white look more. They wanted to show more the FT line, it’s why I think they did the blue ice sole.. have the same dilema with my Katrina 3 and fire red 3, which one should I wear more

I just want a pair but I know I won't be able to grab a pair. It's so hard for me to get an OG pair these days.

The reimagined 3s are better I like the slimmer tongue I like the slimmer elephant print, and I like the shape of the newer threes better more of a slim down shoe

As an OG head, I like the reimagined better.

Classic 88!!! After a year being on the sneaker racks at footlocker in my town they were this color. So really they just look OG and not like a newish stay white look of the new generation sneakers!!! The white will not get this color no matter what!!! But I remember back in 88 through the 90s just wearing these outside they turnt this color and matter fact the brand new ones on the racks didn't even look white out loud!!! They had an appearance like these. So I'm just having an opinion. Anyone else? Please comment.

I’m with the 2023 Rich, but I do agree they both 🔥🔥🔥

You right about bk’s and a few others having elephant prints but Jordan was definitely first(1987) them other guys was early 90’s

Reimagined Imo

Waiting on these man! Can't wait for'em to drop! Dey🔥🔥

The vintage look makes it an easy pass for me!

This whole vid reminded me of when I would get a fresh pair in high school and by the end of the day my blue jeans had faded onto the shoes and I had the hardest time trying to clean that off...LOL Dope kicks sir. I will definitely be going after a pair of these.

I gotta go with the new pair 🤷🏽‍♂️. I can’t rock with the clear sole

FTL killing the reimagined and it’s not cuz it’s limited im just tired of the age aspect of these new sneakers

The UNC 3s and the Red Cement 3s in 2020 is the first jordan 3s with the new cut. The knick 3s is the last 3 in the old cut. All of the 3s since 2020 red cement 3s has been in the new 3 cut

I like them both.

The cut on the new version is better. I do wish the Nike Air tab was white tho. Free throw lines do go hard, but personally I don’t like the icy soles

When Rich say he gone hit ya with a comparison video, he really hits you with a comparison video. 💪🏿

FTL is better to me. The 2023 shape is weird and pointy at the toe. The FTL also has more elephant print fabric on it (taller on toe and side), and the color & definition is better. visible red tongue is better to me as well, but not a deal breaker if it wasn't. The shape on the 2023 is just not good to me I would pass on it just for that reason...shape is everything to me with a shoe. Did you notice the quality of the elephant cut on the toe is looks much better on the FTL's as well...maybe just the pair you got but the 2023 looks like the fabric wasn't cut straight on the toe.

Like that you did the comparison and they both fire! Keep em coming!!

Free Throw Line! 🔥💯 Or OG , not aged!

One of the best shoes ever. I will take that colorway anyway they try to spin it! Lol 🤘🏾🏆

Mr. Rich always bringing the heat!

Mike Rich nation / Retro Rick ….Real EASTSIDE playaz keep us up 2 par on the freshest kicks … 🫡💯‼️

Wear the 2023s and ice the Free Throw lines! Both are Dope tho ❤️

Name them “Off White 3’s” and everyone is going crazy for them. The free throw lines are too bulky. I had a pair back when they dropped and my wife told me it looked like I was wearing moon shoes.

Yea Mike, wear the from the free throw lines and keep the ‘23 white cements on ice. I think if people really don’t like the off white just have someone you trust in the sneaker community paint them white. The 2023 WC 3 is a better cut and I’m sure they are as comfortable as the Fire Red 3 from ‘22. I have from the free throw, can’t wait to get this new pair, OG red Air Max 1 and Cherry 12s.

And I like the ice soles on the FTLS … just enough to differentiate but still look close to OG

The Free Throw Lines are better to me. The aging on the Reimagined doesn’t make sense since the rest of the shoe looks brand new. Unless the entire shoe is crafted with the aged look, I don’t want to see sail. I hated that on my Chuck 70’s for the same reason.
