Great vid. OG vs. NKotB. Both are dope. However the cranberry-like red on the Cardinal is too distinctive to ignore. The elephant print on the lace holes are a nice touch. I know I’m in the minority however Nike Air on that a$$ is NOT a factor. And my first “J” was the White Cement back in “88”. Middle school flexin. 😂 LOL. Anyway, continue the dope content bro.
Honestly these are both 🔥🔥🔥 For me I prefer the shoes MJ wore I game but for me the only 3 I'm chasing is that "Lost and Found" or "Reimagined" White cement 3 coming at some point. That's the one for me💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾😎😎
I have both and I still like the cardinals better 🤷🏽♀️. May be a STL thing 😂. But those go with a lot of cardinals fits. And the OG’s can go with basic red fits. Either way I like them both and probably ain’t wearing neither one any time soon 😂.
Welcome back bro! I miss your OG channel but it’s a good thing you got this one lol. I wasn’t a fan of the Cardinal 3’s at all. The jumpman logo on the back ruins the entire shoe for me. It’s exactly why I don’t own a single pair of J’s that has that on it instead of Nike Air. Any OG Jordan that originally had Nike Air on the back should have it on all of them and not just on iconic OG colorways imo. The Fire Red 3’s beat these all day! Great video as always bro! ✊🏾
salutes mk! just picked up my pair from champs. those shoe is a must the only let down this time around was the dark grey on the elephant instead of the lighter like the cardinals but thank god they decided to put the nike air on the ass
Both are great shoes, but you can not beat that nike air. I copped a pair and i am in LOVE Will be beating these shoes up over the years and wearing them like your supposed too. Much love MK!
Loved the cardinal but sold em didn’t have time to struggle matching that red they used got a triple play on the og and I got red n white tinkers so I’m good
Mannnnnnnnnnn just hit on the fire reds in my size and a kids size. So I’m sure there are plenty to go around. These didn’t instantly sellout. I like both tbh. Living in Phoenix I thought the cardinal 3s would be more of an actual cardinal red, but it’s more of a cranberry. The Nike Air on the back of the fire reds just hit different 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like the Nike vs the “Jump Boy”in the boot . 😆 Same Reason why lots of ppl favor the Chicago 1 with Nike Air Tongue than the 2013 Jumpman on the tongue and boot !
Grabbed my fire reds today at Dick's Sporting Goods. Look better in hand. Great material. Next up for me are the Taxi 1's and the Black Canvas 4's. We appreciate the uploads you do on the shoes. Keep it coming !Stay blessed. Much love Delano On Da Beat.
@@No_Hype85 the Dick's I go to in Minnesota, Twin Cities area you can grab them after 10:30 am. As long as the person who reserved them doesn't show up, your good. They were cool and let me get on a list, so I waited around. SNKRS and Flight Club are another great source. Good luck on your next cops! Stay safe.
That Jumpman on the back of 3s and 4s always bothers me but I kinda overlook it on 3s if I like the color-way but the Jumpman on the back made me sell all my 4s except the Breds. But in saying that I need those Canyon Purple 4s but on that shoe they blacked out the jumpman so I don’t have to see that tackiness… I dig the Cardinals, they are dope but The OG Fire Reds with the “Nike Air” on the back are 🔥🔥🔥 and what I remember in 89 when I got my 1st pair of Jordans ( Jordan 4 Military Blue). Yep I was able to secure 2 pairs today and trying to get that 3rd pair soon. “3 Pair Minimum”!!!!😎 ✌🏾
Us as jordan consumer are definitely gonna spot the difference from the door BUT for those non jordan consumers DONT know the difference from each other unless you tell em the differences from each pair of shoes.
@@peterchukky6487 I was just worried because he said he got a retail pair and I hope he can return it for another pair before they gone🤷🏾♂️ But yeah these are sick💪🏾
I have both, got Fire Red from JD yesterday. Quality control is horrendous. I went through 3 pairs before choose 1 to buy. Cardinals are a better shoe.
Ngl didn’t like the cardinal 3’s until I got them in person and they’re way better.. the fire red 3’s having the Nike air is fire tho but that’s the only good thing
Both shoes are nice but people,there not the same…..1 is made up this year and the other is an original og from 1988 with Nike air on the booty lol great video MK…
Man! If they don't get out of here with them "Ronald McDonald" specials comparison to the OGs! LMAO! I agree! I always found 3 - 6s with the Jumpman logo unappealing. They always came off like Walmart specials. I too remember when these joints all first debut as a youth. To Each their own but for us OGs... Nike Air over everything on 3 - 6s!
I just received my pair today, feel a bit guilty as I have the cardinals. Without factoring the back heel logos, would you choose cardinals or fire red?
I like both but prefer the fire red i passed on the cardinals because i knew i was getting these. If I'm being real I actually like black elephant print on my 2013s a little better but I can appreciate the og styling on these.
Cardinals are much nicer, but you’re right that there is no beating the Nike Air on the back. I couldn’t care less about that nonsense ploy that the OG retros get it while the new colourways don’t. So wack.
My apologies for saying 4's a bit Into the vid
Hello this is dandy from dandyshoe company.Do u want to work with us? If u want pls give me ur ins or gmail account and i will contact u.
Hey Unk, are these both retails or UA’s?
do you know where to get a good pair of reps of the cardinals ?! well both rather lmao
If the Cardinal Reds had that Nike Air on the back everyone would be going crazy! I love them both but the Cardinals hit different for me!
Nah
I don't get what's so special about it saying Nike Air. I like cardinal red way more
@@bravejonah It’s og
@@bravejonah me neither, and for me the Jumpman looks better.
@@ALARGADORDECU Nike Air is only on the og pairs on every model , it’s rare so it makes it more sought after . I like it better imo
Originals are about always better. Let me explain:
Jordan 3 Fire Reds = McDonald's
Jordan 3 Cardinals = McDowell's
🤣🤣
Lmmfaooooo broooo
Hella funny but soooooo true!😁👍
INDEED
That's the perfect metaphor.
They both dope but the fire reds just hold a certain nostalgia to me 🔥🔥🔥
I agree!
FIRE REDS 200%
Right!

Yooooooo, my homie just saw you in the Mills and for the flick. BIG Shoutout to you for being a real dude and giving out so much game!
We copped both and we love the fire reds! Ma$e likes the fire red colour blocking cause it reminds him of his favourite 3’s! The Katrina’s! We subbed!
I still only cop real shoes….. but unc you done made a subscriber outa me…. The consistency and quality definitely keeps me coming back mane
I got em both but the OGs jus reign supreme over none OG colorways both are must haves for the collection

Agree 💯

They both hard… cardinal just a touch cleaner…🥶
The Fire Reds are the reason I converted to Jordan 3s these Fire Reds are Iconic, Classic, Simple
Going with Fire Reds. Got my pair today and boy they're way better in hand.
Cardinals 4 the win. I like the candy paint, Curry Jumpman, and lighter elephant print
3
My leather very smooth on my retail pair of fire red 3s. I got a pair early from EU release and they were mass tumbled!
Mannnnnnnnnnn just hit on the fire reds in my size and a kids size. So I’m sure there are plenty to go around. These didn’t instantly sellout. I like both tbh.

ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING
Champs I hit at said they got in 100 pairs of the men's.
They only got one sz left in a 11 on SNKRS
It’s sold out now
Ah you beat me to it! 🔥 video Brother I’m glad I doubled up. And glad I still got my Cardinals.
I like the Nike vs the “Jump Boy”in the boot . 😆
Same
Reason why lots of ppl favor the Chicago 1 with Nike Air Tongue than the 2013 Jumpman on the tongue and boot !
I was lucky enough to get both for retail. Not sure if it’s worth keeping the cardinals now 😵💫
I prefer the fire reds myself. Copped my pair at my local JD's this morning. Great video and review!
Katrina 3s are similar to those 2 as well. But nothing beats The OG.
Thank you for calling the "print" Elephant 🐘 print! These young cats are not knowing! Calling them
Cements... anyhow, dope 👌🏼 review & comparison 👍🏼
Cardinal Reds are so fire! Especially the tumbled leather on em, definitely getting another pair!
Cardinals really the bussin pair but the FR3’s OG!

To be honest: the cardinal reds are my favorite.
Cardinals are a red version of the true blue 3 imo. I love that the cardinal goes great with my miami heat gear. Fore red are classics tho
Just found this page glad I found it I usually follow your previous page pleassssss
Imo fire red looks better overall but I wish they put the elephant print up by the laces like the cardinal
That Jumpman on the back of 3s and 4s always bothers me but I kinda overlook it on 3s if I like the color-way but the Jumpman on the back made me sell all my 4s except the Breds.

Yep I was able to secure 2 pairs today and trying to get that 3rd pair soon.
“3 Pair Minimum”!!!!😎
✌🏾
Facts
I chose to not get the Cardinals in favor of the fire reds. Just too close of a shoe to me and I love the Nike Air on the back vs the Jumpman.
I remember Kobe and MJ with Wizard were wearing AJ3 with jumpboy at the back though
Where the cardinal has a glossy finish with the red color the fire reds has more like a mat finish
I was excited about the fire red 3 but I changed my mind for the DJ Khaled Jordan 5 we the best cardinal and the fire red very similar
Slept on the Cardinals because I’ve been waiting for the FR.
Us as jordan consumer are definitely gonna spot the difference from the door BUT for those non jordan consumers DONT know the difference from each other unless you tell em the differences from each pair of shoes.
i definitely do prefer the jump mans
I think the Fire Reds are easier to dress but the Cards have better details 🤔
兩雙都很好看！😍🤩
Yo MK what's that scratch on the lower back outsole area on the Fire Reds? Saw it at the 2:50 mark in video🤨 that's a lil dirt or a flaw?
I saw it too, @ 2:50 it looks like a little crack just saying, but fire pair 💯

Got mine 🔥🔥🔥
I has the fire red’s already so I’ma cop the cardinal’s but the fire reds are comin
Great video really great music to keep it up I get friend
🙏
OG FIRE REDS ALL DAAAAYY!!
ayo what happened to your other channel ?
Fire Reds and it ain't close. The Cardinal's look bootleg next to them
I like the Cardinals but the yellowish orange throws them off to me. Definitely going with Fire Reds over the Cardinals
Ngl didn’t like the cardinal 3’s until I got them in person and they’re way better.. the fire red 3’s having the Nike air is fire tho but that’s the only good thing
Most ppl I believe will choose the fire reds because of the nike on the back
Angelus leather paint should fix that lol
Are they true To size??
OGs over everything for me BUT if we being honest Cardinals Look better in my opinion 💯🤷🏽♂️
Both shoes are nice but people,there not the same…..1 is made up this year and the other is an original og from 1988 with Nike air on the booty lol great video MK…
Jordan has his own brand that’s why the Jumpman was on the back!
we know that bro.
Right. And "Nike Air" still looks better!
Both are clean but I like the Cardinal 3s better
The cardinals did not sit but the fire reds did. Think about that.
Fire Red 3’s are an iconic OG shoe. Cardinals are just another colorway. Cardinals dope but they ain’t messing with Fire Reds. OG’s over everything!
Man! If they don't get out of here with them "Ronald McDonald" specials comparison to the OGs! LMAO!
I agree! I always found 3 - 6s with the Jumpman logo unappealing. They always came off like Walmart specials. I too remember when these joints all first debut as a youth. To Each their own but for us OGs... Nike Air over everything on 3 - 6s!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Cardinals all the way! I prefer the jumpman… honestly the cardinals should of been the true OG! Haha
I need 3 pairs of both of them , minimum
🔌 guy from DC reps
Its me, Jumpman looks better than big ass Nike logo on the back!
I just received my pair today, feel a bit guilty as I have the cardinals.
Without factoring the back heel logos, would you choose cardinals or fire red?
Wore the Muslins today wit the Red laces had heads stupid turning🤣🤣🤣
I like both, but the nostalgia of the fires just bring back so many memories
I prefer the cardinal red
I prefer the look of the fire red, they’re not the same.
FACTS
Got both maang!
Fire red hands down
I got both….. we shall see
I guarantee the midsole paint on the Cardinal red will last alot longer than the fire reds
NOPE! Cardinal reds will crack way b4 the fire reds.
@@Galvatron83 that enamel paint will hold up longer than guaranteed
I like both but prefer the fire red i passed on the cardinals because i knew i was getting these. If I'm being real I actually like black elephant print on my 2013s a little better but I can appreciate the og styling on these.
it's the 🔥 red cuz it's the original gangsta
Cardinals are definitely better quality and look clean. Fire reds are nostalgic. Only plus is the Nike air on the back.
Did anyone realise his fire reds were reps ?
Cardinal Red for me
👍🏾👍🏾
Most of us got em both
I'm convinced Nike running out of ideas they are pretty much the same shit I would have done Bordeaux color way
Bourdeaux sounds good
What a stupid question. Ogs Fire red of course
Fire Red!!!!!!!! If Only for NIKE AIR Branding!!!!! Can't rock with that knock off jumpman logo one's
At 4:58 exactly. Tacky, I just can’t take it seriously, it’s almost fake.
Fire red i❤classic
I’ll take the Cardinals. The only thing the FR’s got is tge Nike air.
Nothing to compare here…two different colorways and differences
4th
Cardinals are much nicer, but you’re right that there is no beating the Nike Air on the back. I couldn’t care less about that nonsense ploy that the OG retros get it while the new colourways don’t. So wack.
Man this the same shoe . Nike change something that u barely can notice , and sale it back to people
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZ!!!!!
Fire red easily
Jump boy! Lol.
Cardinals are way better 'cause they have gold
Cardinal reds are a swat meet louies. Thiers no contest at all .
Katrina’s is boo boo …. I coped the real fired 3 og
Cardinal better
It’s not a retro that’s why they don’t do it
Omgggg none of us knew thattttttttt!!!! 😂😂😂😂 the fk
