It delivers exactly what you expect from a Retro 3 - great looks, a comfortable fit, and that hit of nostalgia. Just go in knowing it's a retro performance feel, not a modern one. Hope this honest review helps you decide! 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. On foot, the silhouette of the Air Jordan Retro 3 is just timeless. The way the midsole curves, the elephant print panels – it all works. This 'White Cement' colorway is super versatile. It pops on camera and looks clean with almost anything in real life. It's a design that hasn't aged a day since '88, honestly. On feet, the design "really" pops. The 'White Cement' colorway is timeless & goes with almost anything. In natural light, that off-white upper & grey elephant print have so much depth. The Jumpman on the tongue & the Nike Air on the back? Pure nostalgia. They look even better on foot than in the box.
