Michael Jordan may be out of the NBA for a while now, but whenever he comes out with a pair of Air Jordans, everyone just can't wait to get their hands on it. That is, if they can get their hands on one and that is always a big '"if."
While Nike releases models that are easy to purchase, there are also limited and special editions. On Nov. 10, another pair of special Air Jordan hit Nike Lab stores around the world. The Nike Zoom Vapor Air Jordan 3 "Black Cement" has made its arrival and only a limited number of people can own it.
The "Black Cement" is said to be inspired by Roger Federer's "White Cement." Federer wore his signature shoes at the U.S. Open back in August. "White Cement" was, in fact, a collaboration between the two great athletes Federer and Jordan. It is no wonder Federer's signature shoes immediately sold out. It retailed at $200, but those who bought it were reselling it for $800 to $1,000.
Given that the "Black Cement" will be a special edition, the limited stocks in Nike Labs isn't helping. According to Sole Collector, it will only be available in Flight 21 and 23 in New York City. Since these will be the only two shops that will carry the pair, other buyers can opt to purchase online.
As if the limited stores isn't enough, these two shops are also having a raffle-style process to give everyone an equal chance to buy the pair. Buying online will also go through the raffle process. Moreover, Kicks on Fire reported that Flight 23 in NYC will limit the sale of the shoes to one pair per person.
