At $210 USD, it's a significant investment for a retro sneaker. Also, if you're used to modern, ultra-cushioned performance shoes, the Air Jordan 3's ride might feel a bit firm. It's a classic comfort, not a boost or zoom kind of comfort. Something to consider. Alright, so the Nike Air Jordan 3 "Lucky Shorts" just landed. First thing I noticed? That "Lucky Shorts" colorway is "crazy" in hand. The mix of that vibrant green, the black, and the hits of red... it's bold, man. The elephant print feels premium, and the overall shape is classic AJ3. This is a statement piece for sure, no doubt about it. Who should maybe skip these? If you need the absolute latest cushioning tech for all-day standing, look at something like a Jordan 38. If you're not a fan of the elephant print aesthetic, this obviously isn't for you. And if you only buy super-limited, hyped releases, this general release might not excite you. But for a practical, stylish shoe? It's a winner. Wearing these out, they get compliments. The 'Lucky Shorts' theme is executed well without being gimmicky. They pair easily with jeans or shorts – hence the name, right? Durability seems good. The outsole grip is fine for casual wear. As a package, Nike delivered a cohesive story with this Air Jordan 3. It feels special, not just another retro rehash.
