Hey guys, welcome back to another restore my sneakers dot come video.
In this episode, I’ll be comparing the 2003 retro with the 2011 retro of the Air Jordan
Retro 3 in the white cement, grey colorway.
First thing we’re going to start off on are the sock liners, better known as insoles.
The tone of red on the 2003, which I have on the top, is darker than the 2011 which
is on the bottom.
And on the back side, the 2003 is black, while the 2011 is white.
However, both materials on the insoles are made of durapontex.
According to the card, durapontex sock liner, provides a supportive, comfortable lining
for the foot, while minimizing heat buildup.
The material underneath the insoles of the 2003 and the 2011 are both made out of a woven
fabric.
On the inside of the 2011, you have numbers stamped on the inside, as well as gold stitching.
On the 2003, you have white stitching.
The next thing I want to point out is the placement of the straps that hold the tongue
down.
On the 2003, it’s placed over here in this area.
On the 2011, it’s placed towards the middle.
The next thing I want to talk about are the tongues.
The 2011 uses a really soft tumble leather, while the 2003 it doesn’t.
Also, the 2003 has a much wider tongue compared to the 2011.
Now the base on the 2003 tongue is tumble leather, while the 2011 is not.
Now on the top of the 2003 tongue, the material behind the tongue is actually tucked in, whereas
the 2011 is not.
Now, the stars on the soles of the 2011 version actually stick out a lot more than the 2003
version.
The word jordan on the 2003 is filled in with red, whereas the 2011 is just on the outside
as well as the name jordan.
The elephant print on the 2003 version appears to be bolder than the 2011 version.
Now the inspiration for the updated Jordan hand tag, actually comes from the Nike Air
hand tag that the originals had.
One of the things that they added with the 2011 retro is a pamphlet that gives you information
about the shoe.
This is something that they use to do that back in the day.
Lastly, you have this box, which pays tribute the original 1988 release.
It has your elephant print paper, you removal top, and on your bottom half, this elephant
print detail.
So there you have it, the 2003 retro and the 2011 retro of the Air Jordan 3 in the white
cement grey color way.
Hope you guys enjoyed this video, and be sure to stay tuned for our next episode.
