First off, the box is clean, and pulling these out? The quality is immediately noticeable. That 'Lucky Shorts' colorway is wild in person - the mix of that light grey suede with the vibrant orange and green hits is way more dynamic than in photos. For $210 USD, the materials feel premium right out the gate. This is a solid start for a Jordan 3. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 3 'Lucky Shorts' sits in a great spot. It's more structured and has better ankle support than a Jordan 1. Versus a Jordan 4 or 5, it's often lighter and a bit more low-profile. For $210 USD, you're getting that iconic Tinker Hatfield design with a timeless color story that stands out in the Jordan series. The major pro for me is the "execution". Nike got the materials right on this one. The leather is soft, the paint is clean, and the overall craftsmanship feels worth the price point. That green accent is the star—it makes the whole shoe. If you're a fan of the AJ3 model, this 'Lucky Shorts' version offers something fresh but familiar. My final take? I'm really digging the Nike Air Jordan 3 'Lucky Shorts'. They nailed the materials, and the color story is engaging. On feet, they're comfortable and turn heads. It's a strong offering in the Jordan series this season. Would I cop? For my personal style, yeah, I think they're a great addition for spring and summer.
