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. Let's talk on-feet. I laced up these Air Jordan Retro 3s, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's comfortable, but let's be real—it's not ultra-plush like modern performance shoes. You feel that Air unit in the heel, which is nice. The ankle collar provides good support without being restrictive. It's a classic, wearable feel. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan Retro 3 'White Cement Reimagined' in hand. First off, the box is classic, and the shoe itself? The quality is "noticeably" better than some recent retros. The leather feels nice, the elephant print isn't too overdone, and that 'Nike Air' on the back? "Chef's kiss". It's a clean, timeless look straight out of the box. Now, a potential con? That elephant print. It's iconic, but it's also a bold texture. If you prefer super clean, minimalist sneakers, this might not be for you. Also, the toe cap can crease—it's just part of the leather life. Something to keep in mind.
