First off, the box is classic. The shoe itself? The shape is "on point" this time around. The elephant print feels premium, not cheap. For $210 USD, the quality here is a major step up from some recent Jordan 3 releases. The materials just look & feel expensive right out of the box. Major pros? The materials on this 2023 release are a huge upgrade from some past retros. The leather is soft and should crease nicely. Durability seems great. The style is iconic—you can't go wrong. For $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with modern build quality. That's a win in my book for any Air Jordan Retro 3. My final take? For me, the Air Jordan Retro 3 'White Cement' is a definitive win. The quality is there, the look is forever fresh, and it fills a specific role in any collection. It's a sneaker you buy for the legacy "and" the wearability. Who might want to skip it? If you prefer ultra-modern, techy performance shoes, this isn't it. It's a lifestyle retro. Also, if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable options. But if you appreciate iconic design? The Air Jordan 3 Retro is arguably one of the best.
