It's a reality with this model's design and materials. If you're super particular about keeping your kicks pristine, this might bug you. Also, the cushioning, while good, isn't for high-performance basketball. Who should maybe skip it? If you're solely chasing comfort, look at newer models. If you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is a significant investment. Also, if you prefer super loud, flashy designs, the Air Jordan Retro 3's elegance might be too understated for your taste. On feet, the design just "works". The 'White Cement' colorway is iconic for a reason—it's so versatile. In natural light, the slight off-white hue and grey hits pop. The Jordan 3 silhouette, with that exposed Air window and elephant print, always looks great from every angle, on or off camera. 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.
