If you're used to the bounce of Zoom Air or React foam, these will feel firm. They're not for serious performance basketball anymore. Also, that higher price point of $210 USD might be a barrier for some. You're paying for the legacy and design, not cutting-edge comfort. My final take? For me, this Air Jordan Retro 3 'White Cement' is a definite cop. It's a faithful, well-executed retro of an all-time great. The pros – the look, the history, the quality – far outweigh the cons of firm cushioning. It's a shoe I'll wear for years. If you've been waiting for a good version of this classic, I think your wait is over. This one delivers. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's comfortable, but let's be real - it's not super plush like modern shoes. You feel that Air unit in the heel, which is nice for all-day wear. The ankle collar gives good support without being restrictive. The Air Jordan 3 just has a certain, classic feel on foot. Now, a potential con? The toe box creases. It's just a fact of life with this model's design. If you're super obsessive about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bug you. Also, while comfortable, don't expect modern, plush, Zoom Air-type cushioning. It's a firm, supportive ride from the late 80s.
