The Jordan 3 is way more comfortable right out of the box. The toe box has more room. Compared to other 3s, this 'Reimagined' version has that aged midsole, which gives it a cool, vintage look immediately. Let's talk on-feet. I laced up these Air Jordan Retro 3s, and the comfort is... good, not great. It's a retro, remember? The air unit in the heel is noticeable, providing decent cushioning for casual wear. The fit is true to size for me, with a secure wrap around the midfoot. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the solid construction. Putting these on... wow. The comfort is a big step up from some older Retros. The Air unit in the heel is noticeable. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure wrap around the midfoot. They're not the lightest sneaker ever, but for a Jordan 3, the weight feels balanced and solid on foot. Now, a potential con? The price. At $210 USD, it's a significant investment. Also, if you're used to the insane comfort of modern running shoes or performance models, the Air Jordan Retro 3 might feel a bit firm. It's a 1988 design, after all. The elephant print can also be a bit polarizing—some people straight-up don't like the texture.
