It's more structured & has better ankle support than an AJ1, for sure. Versus an AJ4, the toebox on the 3 is roomier for wider feet. In the Jordan series, the 3 is that perfect blend of style & substance that works for so many people. Who might want to pass? If you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable Jordan options. Also, if you prefer a super-low-profile, lightweight basketball sneaker for actual play, these are not it – they're a lifestyle icon. Pure performance seekers should look elsewhere. Let's talk pros. Durability seems great with this leather. The style is timeless. And honestly, the comfort level for a retro is a huge plus. It's a shoe you can wear all day without your feet begging for mercy. That's a win for any Air Jordan Retro 3 release. Putting these Air Jordan 3s on... wow. The comfort is immediately noticeable. The Air unit in the heel? It's "there". It's not ultra-boost squishy, but it's a perfect, supportive cushion for all-day wear. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure lockdown around the midfoot. Really impressed so far.
