The outsole can be a bit stiff initially—needs a brief break-in. And if you're used to Boost or ZoomX, the cushioning will feel firm. Also, that exposed foam on the collar? It can get dirty fast. The Air Jordan Retro 3 isn't for someone seeking cutting-edge, cloud-like comfort. It's about heritage. Who should skip? If you prioritize ultimate comfort or need a gym shoe, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer more modern, streamlined designs, the AJ3's chunkier profile might not be for you. It's a style from a different era, and that's part of its charm. Major pros? Timeless style, for sure. The comfort is top-tier for a retro basketball shoe. The materials on this particular Air Jordan Retro 3 feel great. It's a shoe you can wear often without beating up your feet. A true staple in any Jordan series collection. In summary: The Air Jordan 3 'White Cement' gets a thumbs up from me. Great materials, true-to-size fit, iconic look. It's not the most advanced shoe, but it doesn't need to be. It's a classic done right. If you've been waiting for a quality version of this colorway, now's the time. Go for it. That's my genuine, on-feet review of this Jordan series staple.
