It's more substantial and has better cushioning than an AJ1, for sure. But it's also not as bulky or high-off-the-ground as an AJ4 or AJ5. For everyday comfort and style, this retro 3 might be my new favorite in the rotation. Who is this for? Honestly, it's for any sneakerhead who appreciates history and timeless design. It's for someone who wants a comfortable, stylish everyday shoe that makes a statement. If you love the Jordan series, this is a must-have cornerstone model. Putting these Air Jordan Retro 3s on... wow. The fit is true to size for me. The padding around the ankle collar is "super" comfortable—it really locks your heel in. They're not the lightest sneaker out there, but you feel that quality. The cushioning from the visible Air unit in the sole? It's there, providing a nice, stable base. Definitely a comfortable wear right away. On feet, the design "really" pops. The 'White Cement' colorway is just timeless. That elephant print and the Jumpman on the tongue look sharp in person and on camera. This Air Jordan Retro 3 is a true head-turner. It works with so many fits. The visual appeal is a major win for this release.
