That elephant print and visible Air unit in the heel are legendary. The build quality on this specific 'Reimagined' version feels premium. Also, the fact that Nike brought back 'Nike Air' branding is a huge plus for purists. The Air Jordan Retro 3 is a piece of history you can wear, and that's its biggest strength. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan Retro 3 'White Cement Reimagined' in hand. First off, the box is clean, and the shoe itself? The shape is fantastic. That classic elephant print feels premium, not plasticky. For around $210 USD, the initial quality check is a solid pass. The Jordan 3 silhouette just never gets old, you know? Now, the cons, because it's not for everyone. That toe box creases – it's just part of the game with this leather. Also, if you're used to modern, plush cushioning like in a Jordan 38? This will feel stiff. The $210 USD price tag is steep for retro tech. It's a lifestyle shoe first, performance second. My final verdict? I'm really liking this pair. The updates are thoughtful. It feels like a proper homage. Would I recommend copping? If you've always wanted a pair of 3s, this 'White Cement Reimagined' is arguably the one to get. The Air Jordan Retro 3 remains a pillar of the line—this version does it justice. Thumbs up from me.
