Air jordan retro 3 : On feet, the design just pops [na95e0rt]

The 'White Cement' colorway is timeless. In natural light, the grey hits and that infrared jumpman on the tongue really stand out. They look even better on foot than in the box. The Air Jordan 3 silhouette is just so iconic and versatile for styling. Let's talk on-feet. I slipped these Air Jordan 3s on, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning from the visible Air unit in the heel? It's there—it's a firm, supportive comfort, not super plush like modern shoes. The ankle collar provides good support without being restrictive. The weight feels solid, not too heavy, not too light. It's a classic basketball shoe feel, for sure. 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. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan Retro 3 'White Cement Reimagined' in hand. First off, the box is classic. The shoe itself? The shape is "so" much better than some recent retros. That 'Nike Air' on the back heel is just "chef's kiss". The leather feels decent, not amazing, but the cracked elephant print is done really well here. For around $210 USD, the presentation is solid.
