It has more personality than a core colorway but isn't as out-there as some Collaborations. Versus a "Jordan 1"? It's a completely different vibe—more cushion, a chunkier (in a good way) silhouette. It fills a different spot in the collection. Alright, so the box just arrived. First impression of the Nike Air Jordan 3 'Lucky Shorts'? The color-blocking is "clean". That white, university red, and cement grey combo is a classic Jordan 3 formula, but the "Lucky Shorts" story on the tongue is a cool, subtle detail. For around $210 USD, you expect solid quality, and the materials here feel good right out of the box. On feet, the "Lucky Shorts" design really works. The white leather upper is easy to keep clean, and the green hits on the heel and eyelets add just enough personality. In natural light, the materials look even better. This Jordan 3 is versatile; it can dress up a casual fit or work with shorts. It's a great summer rotation shoe, honestly. Comparing it to other 3s, the "Lucky Shorts" has more character than a retro like "Fire Red." It's less common, which I like. However, if you want pure versatility, a classic "Black Cement" might be safer. This one's for when you want to stand out a "little" bit more.
