The 'Reimagined' treatment with the aged midsole gives it character right out of the box. Durability seems great – that leather should crease nicely. Also, that 'Nike Air' on the heel is a huge nostalgia factor for collectors. It's a shoe that tells a story. For a retro, they nailed the important details on this version. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan Retro 3 has a distinct, mid-top profile. It's more structured than an AJ1 and has a different kind of cushioning compared to an AJ11. I'd say it sits nicely between a classic court feel and a slightly more modern comfort level from that era. Let's talk looks. On camera, this 'White Cement' colorway pops. The hits of grey and red on the pure white upper? "Chef's kiss". The elephant print adds that perfect texture. Wearing these with jeans or shorts, they're incredibly versatile. This is one of those Jordan Retro models that just works with almost anything in your closet. On feet, the design pops. The 'White Cement' colorway is so versatile. The elephant print details and that Jumpman on the tongue really stand out in person, more than in pics. This Jordan 3 is a straight-up classic for a reason. It works with jeans, shorts, you name it.
