First thing I noticed? The quality is solid. The leather feels premium, and that 'Lucky Shorts' colorway is way more vibrant in person. You get that classic AJ3 elephant print, but the green and white combo? It's a statement for sure. At around $210 USD, it's a standard Jordan price point. Final thoughts? I'm really impressed. The 'Lucky Shorts' is a bold, well-executed take on an icon. It respects the AJ3's DNA while doing its own thing. My personal take? I love it for what it is - a fun, high-quality release. Would I recommend it? Yes, but with the caveat that you gotta love the colors. Go try them on if you can! Now, a potential con? That light grey suede. If you're someone who hates babying your sneakers, the 'Lucky Shorts' Jordan 3 might stress you out. They will show wear and stains more easily than a black or white leather pair. Also, the $210 price tag is standard, but it's still an investment for a non-OG colorway. 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.
