The Jordan III is rolling around with a curious level of ubiquity after several wilderness periods where prices shot through the roof. Everyone with a vague interest in the Jordan line seems to have a story about this shoe, whether it was spotting the True Blues on the 'Eazy-Duz-It' cover in early 1989 and finding out that they couldn't find them in their local sports shops on these shores (Jordan IVs later in the year was when Nike smelled the coffee and gave us plentiful supplies), sleeping on 1994 retros of the black/cements, marvelling at the lack of popularity the excellent Mochas received on their debut (people seem to respect that restrained makeup a little more now), the 2003 Cement causing some queues, getting Fire Reds again in 2007 and being baffled by the decision to drop lesser fake-looking colourways ('Do the Right Things' stay wack) in favour of the original batch or buying a double pack and literally binning the XX to get to the III.
Despite getting the True Blues in summer 2009 (and them sailing out), they were a European exclusive. January 2011's Cement reissue set off a year of reissues. You're never more than a mile from a cluster of pristine takes on that shoe being worn, but while they're not scarce, it's great to have multiple pairs as back up in the event of a disaster involving mud, oil or stray espresso. With these built like the release earlier in the year, with that slightly tweaked tongue, a leather that's years ahead of those plasticky black/cements and superior to the last True Blue, plus packaging that includes that modified chunky hangtag, it's a great shoe if you missed out in 1988, 2001 or 2009.
Yeah, these were once sacred shoes, but we're growing to accept them as a staple sneaker that warrant frequent backups in the stash. This is a design that can never look bad in the correct colourway and True Blue is always right. They make a return this Saturday at midnight, with an RRP of ￡105.
