The outsole can be a bit stiff initially—needs a brief break-in. And if you're used to Boost or ZoomX, the cushioning will feel firm. Also, that exposed foam on the collar? It can get dirty fast. The Air Jordan Retro 3 isn't for someone seeking cutting-edge, cloud-like comfort. It's about heritage. Let's talk on-feet. I laced up these Air Jordan 3s, and the fit is true to size. The cushioning? It's comfortable for a retro—you get that Air unit in the heel. It's not super plush like modern shoes, but for casual wear, it's great. The ankle collar provides nice support without being restrictive. Honestly, a very wearable classic silhouette. On foot, the design "really" pops. The 'White Cement' colorway is just timeless. The way the grey elephant print contrasts with the white leather? It's clean. Even in different lighting, the materials have a nice sheen. This Air Jordan Retro 3 is one of those shoes that looks even better when you're actually wearing them compared to just in the box. It's a straight-up iconic silhouette. 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 "on point" this time. That 'Nike Air' on the back heel is a major win, honestly. The leather feels more like the OG, not that stiff stuff. For $210 USD, this is a solid release from the Jordan series. My initial impression is very, very positive.
