The upgraded materials, the perfect execution of a legendary colorway – it just works. It's a piece of sneaker history you can actually wear comfortably. I'm really happy with this pickup and can see these being in heavy rotation. Putting these Air Jordan 3s on, the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar provides that signature support the Jordan 3 is known for. They're not the lightest sneaker, but you feel stable. The cushioning from the visible Air unit in the heel? It's comfortable right out of the box for casual wear, no real break-in needed. Who should maybe pass? If you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable Jordan models. Also, if you need ultra-plush, modern running-shoe comfort, this isn't it. The Air Jordan Retro 3 is comfortable, but it's still a vintage basketball shoe at its core. Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ3 sits differently than a 1 or a 4. It's lower profile than a 4 but has more structure than a 1. The toe box shape is unique to the 3. If you have other Retros, you'll notice the difference immediately. For me, the Air Jordan 3 offers a great balance between style and a bit more foot-hugging fit.
