This 'Lucky Shorts' AJ3 uses that minty green and cream so well. The cracked leather and that iconic elephant print? It works. It's a fun, almost retro feel without being too loud. Compared to other Jordan 3s, it's definitely more of a statement piece than your standard white cement colorway. On the flip side, who should skip it? If you need maximum breathability or a super-lightweight shoe, look elsewhere. Also, if you're new to Jordans and want a classic, maybe start with a 'White Cement' or 'Black Cement' 3 first. This 'Lucky Shorts' version is more for the collectors and enthusiasts. Now, a potential con? The toe box creasing. It's a known thing with AJ3s – that smooth leather will crease. If you're someone who hates any sign of wear, this might bug you. Also, while the cushioning is good, if you're used to super bouncy, modern foam tech, the Air-Sole might feel a bit firmer. Just being real. So, would I recommend copping? Yeah, I think so. It's a sneaker you'll be happy to unbox, happy to wear, and it'll get compliments. Just get a suede protector spray, okay? For around "$210 USD", you're getting a piece of "Jordan" history with a fresh twist. Definitely a solid pick-up for the rotation.
