The air unit in the heel gives that nice, familiar cushioning. The fit is true to size for me—good lockdown around the midfoot. They're not the lightest sneakers, but you get used to it. The 'Lucky Shorts' colorway really pops when you're walking around. 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. Who should maybe pass? If you need ultra-modern, techy basketball performance, look at the Jordan 38 or even a Zion model. Also, if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable lifestyle options. And if you hate any sort of break-in period, the fit might be a slight hassle. Who might want to skip it? If you need max cushioning for all-day wear, maybe look at a Jordan 13 or something newer. If you only buy one Jordan 3 ever, you might still lean towards the Black Cement or White Cement for their undisputed iconic status. This is a niche within a classic.
