Air Jordan 3 Retro OG “Black Cement” 2024 sneaker with a +14% price change to $160

The cheapest new Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” in sizes 8 to 12 now costs $160 in size 9.5, up 14% from $140 a week ago. That $140 listing was a size 8.5, and it's gone: the cheapest pair in size 8.5 now asks $184.

Even after the jump, $160 is $60 under the $220 retail, and all nine sizes from 8 to 12 still sell under retail. The cheapest pair has been $160 since November 3.

Cheapest sizes now

  • $160: size 9.5, the lowest that size has listed since my checks began on September 29
  • $172: size 9, down $17 this week
  • $184: sizes 8.5 and 10

At the top, a size 11.5 costs $210, which is still $10 under retail. If you wear a 7 or a 7.5, those sizes are $158 and $157.

Was it cheaper this month

Yes. The $140 pair on October 31 is the lowest I've seen since I started tracking it, and on October 13 the cheapest pair was $149. When I last wrote about it, the best price was $175, so today's $160 is still below that.

If you wear a 9.5, I'd buy now: $160 is the best price that size has had since my checks began. If you wear an 8.5, I'd wait, since that size was $140 a week ago and prices can move. More Air Jordan 3s under retail are on the sale page.
