It's a piece of history that's still incredibly wearable. The quality is there, the look is forever fresh. Is it worth the $210 USD? If you value design and legacy, absolutely. It's a sneaker that never goes out of style. I'm really happy with this pickup. Putting these on... wow. The Air Jordan Retro 3 cushioning is decent for a retro. It's not super plush, but you get that familiar, comfortable feel. The ankle collar provides good support without being restrictive. Honestly, for casual wear, they're great. The fit is true to size for me. No complaints on foot. Who should "avoid" it? If you need all-day, cloud-like comfort – look elsewhere. Performance basketball players, obviously. If you hate visible creasing on your sneakers, this might stress you out. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more comfortable options for the money. Know what you're getting into. 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.
