If suede maintenance stresses you out, look at a full-leather "Jordan 3" instead. Also, if you're on a tight budget and $210 is a stretch, maybe wait for a sale—though I think the uniqueness justifies the price for the right person. On the flip side, who might want to pass? If you're your first Jordan 3 and you want the most iconic look, maybe go for a 'Cement' or 'Black Cement' pair first. Also, if you're super rough on your shoes and don't want to worry about maintenance, the suede on this 'Lucky Shorts' version could be a dealbreaker. So, worth the cop? For me, yes. The $210 USD price tag is standard for Jordans now, and you're getting a classic model with a fresh twist. The 'Lucky Shorts' Air Jordan 3 isn't revolutionary, but it's a really, really good example of the silhouette. I'm happy with my pair and would recommend it to fans of the line. Now, a potential "con": That bright "Lucky Shorts" green isn't for everyone. It's a statement. If you wear mostly neutrals, this might be harder to style than a classic white cement 3. Just being real—it's a specific vibe you have to be into.
