First off, the box is classic, and the shoe itself? The leather quality is a huge step up from older retros—it's buttery soft. That 'Nike Air' branding on the back is "chef's kiss". For around $210 USD, this initial impression is very, very promising. Let's get these on foot. On foot, the design "really" pops. The white leather upper is clean, and that hit of Fire Red on the eyelets and outsole? It's a perfect accent. The elephant print adds just enough texture without being overwhelming. From a style perspective, this Air Jordan 3 is incredibly versatile. It works with jeans, shorts, joggers... you name it. It's a silhouette that just always looks good in real life. On feet, the design just pops. The White Cement colorway is a classic for a reason. The hit of red on the tongue and the grey Elephant Print break up the white perfectly. They look great in person and on camera. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the AJ3 has a bulkier, more statement silhouette that I personally love for casual fits. Final take: I'm really impressed with this pair. The Air Jordan Retro 3 'White Cement' delivers on nostalgia and quality. It's a strong release. My advice? If you love the 3s, this is arguably the best version in recent memory. Try them on if you can, but I think most TTS will be happy. Solid cop
