First off, the box is classic, and the shoe itself? The quality is "really" nice. That 'aged' look on the elephant print and midsole? It's done well, not too over-the-top. The shape is "on point" – a proper, chunky AJ3 silhouette. For $210 USD, the presentation is solid. 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 looks fantastic right out of the box. The 'elephant print' is clean, not overdone, and that 'Nike Air' on the back heel is just "chef's kiss". For $210 USD, the initial quality feels solid. A great start to this Jordan series release. To wrap it up: I'm really impressed. This specific colorway execution is top-tier. Would I recommend copping? Yes, if you love the silhouette. The Air Jordan Retro 3 remains a legend for good reason. Just go in knowing what you're getting: a classic, stylish shoe with old-school comfort. 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.
