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 design just pops. The White Cement colorway is a classic for a reason. The hit of red on the tongue and the grey Elephant Print break up the white perfectly. They look great in person and on camera. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the AJ3 has a bulkier, more statement silhouette that I personally love for casual fits. Now, potential cons? The tech is 30+ years old. Don't expect Boost or ZoomX comfort. If you need ultimate cushioning for all-day wear, look elsewhere. Also, that Elephant Print can be a love-it-or-hate-it detail for some. And at $210, it's a commitment. The Air Jordan 3 is about style, not cutting-edge performance. Keep that in mind. Let's talk on-feet. I laced up these Air Jordan Retro 3s, and the comfort is... good, not great. It's a retro, so you know the deal. The cushioning is firm but supportive. The fit is true-to-size for me, with a decent wrap around the midfoot. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. It's that classic, protective feel.
