The build quality on this 2023 'Reimagined' version is solid. That cracked leather and elephant print add great texture. Also, having 'Nike Air' on the heel instead of the Jumpman is a huge win for purists. It just feels "right". This is a sneaker that tells a story. Who should skip? If you prioritize ultimate comfort or need a gym shoe, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer more modern, streamlined designs, the AJ3's chunkier profile might not be for you. It's a style from a different era, and that's part of its charm. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan Retro 3 'White Cement Reimagined'! First thing out of the box? The quality is "seriously" impressive. The cracked leather on the elephant print & the tumbled panels feel premium, way better than some past retros. That $210 price tag? You can "see" where it went. The shape is just iconic, man. Putting these on, the fit is true to size for me. The comfort? It's a classic Jordan feel – firm, not super plush, but supportive. The ankle collar gives good lockdown. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. After a few hours, they're comfortable for casual wear, no doubt.
