Earlier this week, confirmation news of the Air Jordan III Black Cement hit the web via our friends at Marquee Sole. This is perhaps some of the best news for Air Jordan fans and collectors especially for those who skipped or missed the Countdown Pack from 2008. A tentative release date of Black Friday, November 25th is currently set but of course you can now get them from Marquee Sole or from eBay.

Rumors have been circling the internet many times over, but early this morning thanks to our friends over at Marquee Sole we finally have fully confirmed photos of the Black Cement Air Jordan III!! The release have been half confirmed earlier this year and recently there were leaks of a nubuck version of the Air Jordan III Black Cement. But to the delight of Air Jordan fans, the 2011 retro of one of the most classic Air Jordans will be produced in their original form with black tumble leather. Release is months away but our friends at Marquee Sole has pairs available! Production label via SN
