"The Black and White Mud has always been my favorite among the three generations, and I've been eagerly waiting for a re-release. I finally got my hands on this 2023 version from Poizon, and it feels great. 📊 For sizing: I have slightly wide feet and a high instep. Normally, I wear a size 43 in Nike shoes, but for the third and fourth generations, I always go for a size 44 for a more comfortable fit. The third generation was originally designed with a women's last, so even though it's 1-2cm longer, the front part is quite forgiving for daily wear. It pairs well with various elite socks, and the fit is pretty snug. ✅ The leather quality in this re-release is top-notch. The full-grain leather is soft, and you can see clear, reasonable creases when pressing the front part. ✅ The crackle pattern is highly accurate. Don't worry too much about the size or shape of the crackle pattern; the original OG versions had larger crackle areas, while the third generation has gradually reduced the size of the crackle pattern in the front. ✅ The classic 'old butt'—many people buy the third and fourth generations specifically for the old Nike logo. They just don't like the Jumpman logo, and there's nothing you can do about it. Personally, I also love the OG re-releases and find the Jumpman logo on the back more acceptable, especially with good colorways. ❌ The third generation is one of the harder Air Jordan models to preserve. The outsole at the front, near the little toe, tends to oxidize and turn yellow. The middle part of the outsole often chips and flakes, and the rear air cushion can crack, eventually leading to the entire midsole breaking apart. Despite these issues, it doesn't stop the desire to buy them. One last tip: when displaying them in acrylic boxes, the outer shoe will oxidize faster at the front outsole than the inner one. This happens with all my shoes. Overall, this is a high-quality re-release that I've been waiting for a long time. It pairs well with various outfits, and I'm looking forward to the Black Mud coming out at the end of the year to make up for my ignorance back in 2018. 😄"lg...More

"AJ3 White Cement is an absolute legend! The shoes run true to size, so you can order your usual size without any worries. First off, the shoebox has a great vintage feel, giving it a strong sense of nostalgia. It's a classic AJ3 design. Inside, there's a "sneaker manual" that clearly outlines the specs. Then, of course, there's the main event—the sneakers themselves. The design is still on point, and the new retro version maintains the original's authenticity. The overall look has a vintage vibe, with a slightly yellowish tone to the shoe body. Most of the shoe is made of genuine leather, making it easy to clean—just a quick wipe with a wet wipe does the trick. I've had these shoes for about three months now, wearing them roughly every other day. The toe area has developed a few light creases, which is normal. The inner lining of this retro version fits better to the shape of our feet compared to the previous version. It not only has a contour around the ankle but also feels more three-dimensional, making them fit snugly. This retro version features a silicone insole with air cushion support, providing a more responsive feel. The sole is thick and durable, and after three months of wear, there's only slight wear on the toe and heel areas. Additionally, the tongue of the AJ3 has a strap design to prevent it from slipping, making it easier to put on and take off. AJ3 is a classic in the Air Jordan series, and the White Cement is a classic within that classic. Let's go for it, everyone!"lg...More
