words // Brandon Richard
With a single leap from the free throw line in 1988, Michael Jordan changed the way we thought about sports and footwear. Was Michael already a basketball superstar? Sure. Were Jordan shoes already a hot commodity? Without a doubt. However, MJ’s historic contest-clinching dunk triggered his rise to international stardom and made the Air Jordan III — the first Jordan model to bear the Jumpman logo — truly iconic.
Since ’88, the “Cement” Air Jordan III has been re-released four times, most recently earlier this month. What made this drop different from the 2011 version was the inclusion of the highly coveted ‘Nike Air’ branding on the heel and hang tag. Add in the fact that the ’88 retro was produced in limited quantities and you have an extremely popular release that was difficult to get your hands on.
On the heels of Michael Jordan’s 50th Birthday and the 62nd Annual NBA All-Star Game, we’re giving you a second chance to bring the “Cement” Air Jordan Retro 3 home. On top of that, a matching snapback, t-shirt and shorts.
To enter the Eastbay Retro 3 Sweepstakes, simply head over to the sweepstakes page and fill in your information. Entries close this Friday, February 22. Good Luck!

Best Jordan Kicks!
If I win these shoes my life will be complete.I need to get my hands on these
Done and done!! I hope I win!!

This it’s the best news I heard all year
or you guys (eastbay) can stop selling these ridiculously low production number shoes until Nike/JB makes it so we can all get a pair without having these stupid raffles….I for one am fed up with the absurd game this has become!!!
True young sneakerhead. It be the best thing ever for me to get my hands on a pair of these
I want the air jordan iii 88
True young sneakerhead. It be the best thing ever for me to win a pair. Last year i had a pair of cement 3′s that i had bought on Black Friday that were stolen in a home invasion. So I’d really love to get these to help replace those.
I love J’s i hope and pray i get these
Never won a pair of shoes before
Hope I can win this prize
We French are also addicted Jordan
Was sick to my stomach, i waited 4ever for these and didnt get a pair.
I hope God give me a chance.
I hope I can have a chance.
it would be nice to win
i pray to the sneaker gods to please get a pair
Just da best pictured here
I must win this. I didn’t even got the 2011 pair.
all you begging for a pair might want to give nike a buzz (1-503-671-6453) and tell them to make enough next time that we aren’t praying to some shoe god for a pair of sneakers…it’s beyond stupid and both eastbay and nike know it!!!
I hope I win these for my birthday. Please eastbay give me a great chance to cop these.
These shoes are my all time favorite. Seeing these take me back to when all was good in my life. I was 11 years old and had not a worry in the world. Now I have two boys (9&10) who have turned into sneaker heads like myself. Unfornately with all these Jordan retor’s they are too expensive and too hard to come across.
I hope i win
Awesome idea!
Fresh if I can win them
Now ‘that’ is a Hook Up.
But what about your loyal customers who are legal residents outside of the fifty (50) United States (including the District of Columbia) and Puerto Rico?
Any chance of a Hook Up for the USDM, and another Hook Up for the Rest of the Jumpman World??
I tried my best to purchase these shoes on release date but no luck, now i really would appreciate it if i won a pair( ill keep my fingers cross!)
would love a pair of these og jordans being that i missed out on the killroy pack twice

Thanks for this great HookUp! Congrats Eastbay for holding us down for 20plus years. And congrats to MJ , for reaching 50!

It will be freakin awesome if I win these. When these were released a few weeks ago …I had 3 ipads, 3 smart phones and 3 computers running and being refreshed constantly only to be internet “road blocked” by all the sneakerheads and resellers trying to get them also. Finally after 3 hours 33 minutes reality smacked me in the face and I realized I was not going to get them, so i shut down operation “88Jc3″.
Awsome Jordan 3 Retro ’88 “Cement” Hook-Up!
I hope i win these!
Thanks MIKE!
ive never had the money for these type of shoes but ive wanted these ever since i first saw Michael jordan were them to win these would be the best day of my life.
