It's not as flat as the 1, offers a bit more midfoot structure. It's also not as bulky as the AJ4 can feel. The 3 has its own unique, sleek-yet-substantial profile. If you're building a collection, the 3 fills a specific, essential niche. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series, no doubt. Now, the cons, because it's not for everyone. That toe box creases – it's just part of the game with this leather. Also, if you're used to modern, plush cushioning like in a Jordan 38? This will feel stiff. The $210 USD price tag is steep for retro tech. It's a lifestyle shoe first, performance second. On feet, the design pops. The 'White Cement' colorway is so versatile. The elephant print details and that Jumpman on the tongue really stand out in person, more than in pics. This Jordan 3 is a straight-up classic for a reason. It works with jeans, shorts, you name it. In summary: Thumbs up from me. The Air Jordan Retro 3 in this colorway is a classic executed very well. Great materials, great comfort, timeless look. It's a sneaker you'll reach for constantly. If you've been waiting for a quality version of this icon, now's the time. Definitely recommended.
