It's lower profile than a 4 but has more structure than a 1. The toe box shape is unique to the 3. If you have other Retros, you'll notice the difference immediately. For me, the Air Jordan 3 offers a great balance between style and a bit more foot-hugging fit. On feet, the silhouette of the Air Jordan Retro 3 is just iconic. The elephant print trim? It pops in person way more than in pictures. I'm wearing them with some jeans, and they just look clean. The mid-top height gives a great profile. This 'White Cement' colorway is arguably the most versatile in the entire Jordan series. It goes with literally everything. 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. Comparing these to other Retros? The Jordan 3 sits in a sweet spot. It's more structured than a Jordan 1, and I find it more visually interesting than, say, a Jordan 4 for everyday wear. The 'Reimagined' treatment here makes the materials feel a step above some recent general releases.
