Cement Jordan III

     This is the E-Smart tribute for one of the all time classic sneakers.  The third retro release of the Jordan III is this weekend (Nikestore.com sold out in 50 minutes).  A ton of history goes behind the shoe designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield for Nike as it was originally released in 1988 and represented a major commitment by Nike to Jordan and his line of sneakers.  He was rumored to be leaving Nike if it wasn't for this sneaker.  MJ then proceeded to win Defensive Player of the Year, All-Star MVP award, league MVP and then beat Dominque Wilkins in the legendary Slam Dunk contest which became a poster in every kids room, including mine.  Michael is known to have made these memories in these sneakers.  The "Cement Grey" colorway, infamous elephant print, and first time visible Air bag make this sneaker a timeless classic, one of the best.  This release has the special edition shoe box and old school plastic Nike AIR plastic tag.
