The outsole can be a bit stiff initially—needs a brief break-in. And if you're used to Boost or ZoomX, the cushioning will feel firm. Also, that exposed foam on the collar? It can get dirty fast. The Air Jordan Retro 3 isn't for someone seeking cutting-edge, cloud-like comfort. It's about heritage. Let's talk on-feet. I laced up these Air Jordan 3s, and the fit is true to size. The cushioning? It's comfortable for a retro—you get that Air unit in the heel. It's not super plush like modern shoes, but for casual wear, it's great. The ankle collar provides nice support without being restrictive. Honestly, a very wearable classic silhouette. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else for all-day wear, maybe look at newer models. Also, if you prefer a more minimalist, low-profile silhouette, the chunkier profile of the Air Jordan Retro 3 might not be your vibe. Putting these on... wow. The comfort is a big step up from some older Retros. The Air unit in the heel is noticeable. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure wrap around the midfoot. They're not the lightest sneaker ever, but for a Jordan 3, the weight feels balanced and solid on foot.
