The Air Jordan 3 "Unite" (aka Red Cement) with special edition "CHI" branding on the heel was initially supposed to release exclusively in Chicago during the NBA All Star Weekend. While the kicks did indeed make their debut as planned, it appears as though they won't be limited to Windy City residents after all.
The sneakers, priced at $200, are scheduled to drop again Nike SNKRS at 10am ET this Saturday, February 22nd.
Just like the general release version, the Air Jordan 3 "CHI" features a varsity red tumbled leather construction, equipped with the grey elephant print detailing in all the familiar places. Obviously, this Chicago-inspired iteration differs from the GR edition in that it features "NIKE CHI" on the heel in place of the "NIKE AIR." Additionally, the "NIKE CHI" detailing appears on the insole in a colorful text inspired by Chicago's transit lines.

Nike and Jordan Brand’s annual All Star collection is always loaded with highly coveted sneaker releases, but this year is especially jam packed with the NBA’s festivities returning to Chicago for the first time since 1988. This includes Off-White and Don C collabs, as well as the New Beginnings Pack, “UNC To Chicago” Air Jordan 1 and “Red Cement” Air Jordan 3s.
With so much heat heading to retailers this weekend, it’s only right that we check in with StockX to see which kicks are available early and which pairs are padding the pockets of resellers. Scroll down for a rundown of the top Nike and Air Jordans releasing for All Star Weekend.
Air Jordan New Beginnings Pack

The New Beginnings Pack, featuring the Air Jordan 1 Hi ’85 and the Nike Air Ship, is expected to release any day now, but the resellers are already cashing in on this limited edition pack.
Of the two sneakers, the red and white Air Jordan 1 High ’85 is clearly the more valuable pair, as potential buyers are bidding $700 or more for that sneaker alone.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High WMNS “UNC To Chicago”
Average Resale Price on StockX: $257
Retail Price: $170
The latest women’s Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG nods to Michael Jordan‘s illustrious collegiate career, as well as his reign with the Chicago Bulls.
Unlike the strictly UNC patent leather colorway that dropped last February, this upcoming iteration opts for a black tumbled leather construction with red detailing on the toe and sole. Meanwhile, Carolina blue accents can be found on the Nike swoosh and heel. The “UNC To Chicago” Air Jordan 1 Retro High is billed as a women’s releasee, but the kicks will be available in extended sizes up to a men’s size 15.

Air Jordan 3 “Red Cement”
Average Resale Price on StockX: $235
Retail Price: $200
Jordan Brand will release two different “Red Cement” Air Jordan 3s on Saturday, February 15th – one available at retailers across the country, and another exclusive to Chicago. The latter looks just like the general release version, except it features “Nike CHI” detailing on the heel in place of the familiar “Nike AIR” branding.
Both pairs will retail for $200 but the Nike CHI iteration is obviously more valuable. For example, the “Nike Air” Red Cement 3s can be had right now for only slightly more than retail, while the Nike CHI is already selling for an average of $320.

Air Jordan 3 "Red Cement" Coming Soon: Detailed Photos
Jordan Brand is starting the year off strong.
If you’re a fan of the Air Jordan 3, these last few years have been quite kind to you. The Tinker Hatfield creation is one of the most iconic Jordans of all-time and ever since it was taken out of the vault a couple of years ago, sneakerheads have been blessed with some dope colorways. 2020 is poised to be another huge year for the shoe and Jumpman is already starting off strong with the “Red Cement” offering. There have been a few teasers of this sneaker so far although thanks to @zsneakerheadz, we now have our best look yet.
Based on the pictures below, this model is a remix of the “Black Cement” colorway except for this time, the upper is made with red leather. Elephant print details are placed on the toe box and back heel while black and grey are sprinkled throughout. OG sneakerheads will be happy to know that “Nike Air” branding can be found on the back.
For now, this shoe is slated to release close to All-Star Weekend and is pegged for Saturday, February 15th. The retail price is going to be $200 USD which is the standard price for most Jordan 3s. Let us know in the comments below what you think of these and whether or not you plan on copping.
