It's a reality with this kind of leather. If you're super particular about keeping your kicks pristine, this might bug you. Also, the price at $210 USD is steep for some. It's an investment in a piece of sneaker history, not just a shoe. Who is this for? Honestly, it's for any sneakerhead who appreciates history and timeless design. It's for someone who wants a comfortable, stylish everyday shoe that makes a statement. If you love the Jordan series, this is a must-have cornerstone model. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 3 sits differently than a 1 or a 4. It's lower to the ground than a 4, and has more structure than a 1. The comfort is more about impact protection than step-in softness. If you're used to the ultra-plush feel of a Jordan 13, this will feel firmer. But for a retro, the Air Jordan 3 holds up well in terms of that classic, supportive ride. Comparing these to, say, a Jordan 1? It's a different world. The AJ3 has more tech—that Air-Sole unit makes a difference for all-day wear. Versus a Jordan 4, the 3 feels a bit lighter and less bulky on foot. Within the Jordan 3 line itself, this 'Reimagined' version has the best materials I've seen in years. It's a noticeable upgrade.
