Slipping into these Air Jordan Retro 3s, the fit is true to size for me. The initial feel is comfortable, not super plush, but a nice, supportive cushion from that visible Air unit in the heel. The ankle collar provides good lockdown without being restrictive. They're not the lightest sneaker ever, but the weight feels balanced and substantial, in a good way. Now, a potential con? The price. At $210 USD, it's a significant investment. Also, that midsole might yellow over time—it's just part of the game with these. And if you're used to ultra-light, modern performance shoes, the Air Jordan Retro 3 will feel a bit heavy and clunky. It's a lifestyle shoe first, not for serious balling. Now, a potential con? The elephant print. Some folks might find the texture a bit much, or think the cracks are too pronounced. Also, at $210, it's a significant investment for a casual sneaker. If you're after a minimalist, sleek shoe, the Retro 3's chunkier profile might not be for you. To wrap it up, this was a fantastic retro release. Nike got a lot right here. The Air Jordan Retro 3 remains one of the most wearable and recognizable silhouettes. Would I pay the $210 USD price tag? For this specific version, yes, I absolutely would. It's a piece of history done right. That's my honest take. Let me know your thoughts down below!
