Regardless whether you’re out to collect or wear your kicks, the style of the Jordan 3, with it’s black upper and Elephant Print "Cement" colored details are timeless and when the 2001 "Black Cement" Air Jordan 3 released, we were all once again reminded just how far Michael Jordan’s influence can reach.
