.. the AJ3 'Lucky Shorts' sits in a nice spot. It's more comfortable for all-day wear than, say, a flat-footed AJ1. The cushioning is better than an AJ4 for me, personally. Within the AJ3 family, this is a top-tier colorway. It doesn't have the hype of some collaborations, but that's honestly a plus. You get a fantastic shoe without the insane resale price. Potential con? The price. 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. Let's talk looks on camera. The 'Lucky Shorts' colorway really pops. The elephant print on the toe and heel? Always a winner. It gives that iconic Jordan 3 texture. In natural light, the white leather looks crisp, and the red hits add just enough flair. This is a shoe that looks great both in hand and on foot for photos or videos. Let's talk about how these 'Lucky Shorts' look on camera and in person. That pop of red on the heel tab and the inner lining is "so" much brighter in natural light. The elephant print has a nice texture that adds depth. Honestly, this colorway is super versatile. It pairs easily with jeans, shorts, or even some techwear-inspired fits. They photograph really well.
