The Air Jordan 3 Lucky Shorts feel great right out of the box. The cushioning from the visible Air unit in the heel is fantastic for all-day wear. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure wrap around the midfoot. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that quality construction with every step. Comparing these to other Jordans? The AJ3 'Lucky Shorts' sits nicely between a classic like the 'White Cement' and a more playful colorway. It has more personality than a core retro but isn't as out-there as some Collaborations. The build quality feels consistent with recent retro releases in the Jordan series. It's a strong entry. Who are these for? Honestly, for the AJ3 collector or someone wanting a unique summer shoe. The 'Lucky Shorts' theme is playful. If you have a few classic Jordans and want to add a pop of color, this is a great choice. It's also for anyone who appreciates good materials on a retro silhouette from the Jordan series. Comparing it to, say, a Fire Red 3, the "Lucky Shorts" is definitely more of a seasonal / standout shoe. The comfort level is identical—great for all-day wear but not for performance basketball. The green hits on the heel and insole are what you're really paying for here, that special edition feel.
