At $210, it's an investment. Also, if you're used to ultra-plush, modern cushioning, the AJ3 might feel a bit firm. It's comfortable, but not "boost" or "zoom air" bouncy. It's a different, more supportive kind of comfort. Who should maybe pass? If you're looking for your first "Jordan 3" and want the most classic, versatile option, I'd point you to a Black Cement or White Cement first. Also, if you prioritize the absolute latest in footbed technology and cushioning, this retro might feel a bit dated. Major pros? Timeless design. The Jordan 3 silhouette is iconic for a reason. The materials are quality, and this specific 'Lucky Shorts' colorway is versatile. It goes with a lot. Also, that story-driven detail on the tongue adds a nice layer for sneakerheads without being over-the-top. It's a well-executed release. Alright, so the box just arrived. First look at these Nike Air Jordan 3 'Lucky Shorts'? The color-blocking is "really" clean. That white leather upper with the black and red hits on the elephant print and heel? It's a classic AJ3 silhouette, but this specific 'Lucky Shorts' version just feels... fresh. The materials out of the box feel premium, honestly. No complaints on initial inspection.
