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. Final thoughts? This is a strong release. The Air Jordan Retro 3 continues to be a legend for a reason. It bridges the gap between vintage cool and modern wearability perfectly. My advice? If you've been eyeing them, go for it. You're getting a well-made, comfortable, and eternally stylish shoe. Just be ready for compliments—and maybe a little heel drag over time! Major pros? The materials on this 2023 version are top-tier. Durability seems great. The style is versatile – you can dress 'em up or down. And that 'Nike Air' branding on the back is a huge win for purists. It's a faithful, yet "improved", retro of a legendary sneaker. 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.
