The Air Jordan Retro 3 sits nicely between the AJ1 and AJ4. It's more comfortable than a flat AJ1, but doesn't have the bulk of a 4. The silhouette is unique in the Jordan series. If you want something classic with a distinctive look, this is your model. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 3 sits differently than a 1 or a 4. It's lower to the ground than a 4, and has more structure than a 1. The comfort is more about impact protection than step-in softness. If you're used to the ultra-plush feel of a Jordan 13, this will feel firmer. But for a retro, the Air Jordan 3 holds up well in terms of that classic, supportive ride. 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.
