You're getting a premium take on a classic. Just go in with the right expectations: it's a lifestyle sneaker with vintage comfort. For around $210 USD, if you love the Jordan 3, you won't be disappointed. That's my real, honest take on these. Now, a potential con? That classic cushioning. If you're used to React or Zoom Air, the Air-Sole in these might feel a bit dated and firm. It's not for long-distance walking, in my opinion. Also, the price at $210+ is steep for a retro model, no doubt about it. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan Retro 3s. First off, the 'White Cement Reimagined' packaging is clean. Pulling them out, the shape is instantly iconic - that elephant print & the Jumpman on the tongue? Classic. For $210 USD, the materials feel solid right out of the box. It's a premium start. Now, a potential con for some: the comfort. Don't get me wrong, the Air Jordan Retro 3 is comfortable, but it's not a modern performance or all-day walking shoe. If you're used to React foam or Boost, this will feel firmer. The ankle padding, while supportive, might feel a bit stiff initially. It's a 1988 design, after all.
