Tongue Padding
Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” 2008 – Tongue Padding Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement” 2011 – Tongue PaddingIt is not abnormal to see somebody skating while rocking the Air Jordan 3 or something similar to this iconic model these days. However, the 2008 version probably features more skate appeal with its aforementioned sleeker design and wide tongue. It also owns more tongue padding on the inner side than that seen on the 2011 version. The 2011 version’s slim tongue falls in line with a lot of the performance basketball silhouettes that feature thin tongues on the current market (Hyperdunk 2011, Hyperfuse 2011). This may be a good thing considering we continue to see more and more retros on the hardwood these days.
