First off, the box is classic. The shoe itself? The shape is "on point" this time around. That 'Nike Air' branding on the back heel? It's a major win. The elephant print feels premium, not cheap. For around $210 USD, this is a solid start. The materials just feel... correct, you know? A really strong first impression for this Jordan 3. Major pros? The materials on this 2023 release are a huge upgrade from some past retros. The leather is soft and should crease nicely. Durability seems great. The style is iconic—you can't go wrong. For $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with modern build quality. That's a win in my book for any Air Jordan Retro 3. Putting these on... wow. The comfort is immediately noticeable. It's not ultra-boost level, but for a retro, the cushioning is really good. My foot feels secure, not swimming. The Air Jordan Retro 3 has a nice, substantial weight to it—feels quality, not clunky. A great start for all-day wear. Who should maybe pass? If you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable Jordan models. Also, if you need ultra-plush, modern running-shoe comfort, this isn't it. The Air Jordan Retro 3 is comfortable, but it's still a vintage basketball shoe at its core.
