On camera, this 'White Cement' colorway pops. The hits of grey and red on the pure white upper? "Chef's kiss". The elephant print adds that perfect texture. Wearing these with jeans or shorts, they're incredibly versatile. This is one of those Jordan Retro models that just works with almost anything in your closet. 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. Comparing these Air Jordan Retro 3s to, say, a Retro 1? Big difference in comfort. The 3s have that visible Air unit in the heel – you actually feel it. The silhouette is bulkier than a 1, but in a good, protective way. For all-day wear, I'd pick the 3s over many earlier Jordan models, hands down. Putting these Air Jordan Retro 3s on... wow. The fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's firm but comfortable, you know? It's not super plush like modern shoes, but that's the classic feel. The ankle collar provides nice support without being restrictive. Honestly, they feel great right out of the box.
