I slipped these Air Jordan 3s on, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning from the visible Air unit in the heel? It's there—it's a firm, supportive comfort, not super plush like modern shoes. The ankle collar provides good support without being restrictive. The weight feels solid, not too heavy, not too light. It's a classic basketball shoe feel, for sure. Now, potential cons. The elephant print - some folks just don't like the texture, and that's fair. Also, if you're used to modern, plush sneaker comfort, the Air Jordan Retro 3 might feel a bit stiff initially. It breaks in, but don't expect Boost or React levels of softness right away. Let's talk on-feet. I laced up these Air Jordan Retro 3s, and the comfort is... good, not great. It's a retro, so you know the deal. The cushioning is firm but supportive. The fit is true-to-size for me, with a decent wrap around the midfoot. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. It's that classic, protective feel. Now, a couple of real talk points. The toe box creasing? It's gonna happen with this leather - it's part of the look, but if you're a perfectionist, it might bug you. Also, while comfortable, it's not modern "squishy" comfort. Don't expect React or Boost levels of softness. It's a firm, supportive retro feel.
