Okay, so I’ve been hyped about the Jordan 3 Black Cement 2024 release for a while. I started by scouring the internet for any news, rumors, or leaked images. I checked sneaker blogs, forums, and social media daily.

The Hunt Begins
Then, I focused on release dates. It was all speculation at first, but I kept digging. I remember seeing different dates tossed around, which was super frustrating! I narrowed it down by cross-referencing multiple sources. Some sites seemed more reliable than others, so I started to trust those more.
Raffle Madness
Once I had a potential release date, I prepared for the raffles. Oh man, the raffles! I entered every single one I could find. Big stores, small boutiques, online, in-person – you name it, I entered it. I created accounts on all the relevant websites, made sure my payment info was up-to-date, and even set reminders on my phone.
- Entered online raffles.
- Checked for in-store raffle sign-ups.
- Followed stores on social media for updates.
The Waiting Game
After entering all the raffles, it was just a waiting game. I constantly checked my email and spam folders, hoping for that “You Won!” message. It was nerve-wracking! I remember seeing so many “L” (loss) emails – it was pretty discouraging.
Success (Finally!)
But then, it happened! I got a W! one of stores, I could not belive it! I double-, triple-, quadruple-checked everything to make sure it was real. I paid immediately, Secured my pair. It was such a relief!
Delivery and Unboxing
I still have it, I got it a few days later, and the unboxing was glorious. That new sneaker smell, the perfect Black Cement colorway – it was all worth it. I tried them on, and they fit perfectly. I will take care of these shoes and wear them, they are awesome. Mission accomplished!
