It's got more structure and tech than a 1, but it's not as technical-looking as a 4 or later models. The toe box is roomier than an AJ1, which I prefer. If you're new to the Jordan series, the 3 is a cornerstone model you gotta experience. So, would I recommend it? 100%. If you've been waiting for a good version of this colorway, pull the trigger. The $210 USD price tag is justified by the quality and the iconic status. It's a sneaker you'll wear for years. The Air Jordan Retro 3 remains, in my opinion, one of the most wearable and important designs ever. A forever grail. Who might want to pass? If you prioritize ultimate, cloud-like comfort above all else, maybe look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer a more streamlined, low-profile sneaker, the chunkier profile of the Air Jordan Retro 3 might not be your vibe. It's a bold look that demands a bit of confidence to pull off. Putting these Jordan 3s on my feet, the fit is true to size for me. The initial feel is comfortable, not super plush like modern performance shoes, but that's expected. The ankle collar provides good support without being restrictive. They feel a bit heavy, but in a substantial, premium way, not clunky. It's that classic Jordan 3 feel I remember.
