First impression? The shape is "so" clean, and the elephant print feels premium. Unboxing this classic, you immediately see why the AJ3 silhouette is iconic. For around $210 USD, the quality here is solid. It's a strong start. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? Completely different vibe. The Jordan 3 is way more comfortable right out of the box. The toe box has more room. Compared to other 3s, this 'Reimagined' version has that aged midsole, which gives it a cool, vintage look immediately. Now, potential cons. The outsole can be a bit stiff initially—needs a brief break-in. And if you're used to Boost or ZoomX, the cushioning will feel firm. Also, that exposed foam on the collar? It can get dirty fast. The Air Jordan Retro 3 isn't for someone seeking cutting-edge, cloud-like comfort. It's about heritage. Comparing these to other Jordans? The AJ3 sits comfortably between the AJ1 and AJ4 for me. It's more comfortable and has more tech than the 1, but it's not as bulky or structured as the 4. It's like the perfect middle ground in the early Jordan series. The cushioning setup is a clear win over the AJ1.
