That pop of red on the heel tab and the inner lining is "so" much brighter in natural light. The elephant print has a nice texture that adds depth. Honestly, this colorway is super versatile. It pairs easily with jeans, shorts, or even some techwear-inspired fits. They photograph really well. Major pros? The materials are top-tier. The leather is soft, the elephant print is cleanly executed, and the green hits are just "so" good. It's a super wearable statement shoe. Durability seems on point for the "Jordan series". At around "$210 USD", it's standard for a Retro, but you're getting a unique, well-made product here. Comparing it to my other 3s, the 'Lucky Shorts' version holds its own. The materials are comparable to other recent Premium releases. The color-blocking is arguably more interesting than some. It doesn't have the iconic status of an OG colorway, but it has its own charm. For $210, you're paying for that design effort and the Jordan Brand premium. Major pro? The materials. The tumbled leather on this Air Jordan 3 'Lucky Shorts' is top-notch. It's soft, it has character, and it should break in beautifully. The color blocking is also done really well—it's bold but not chaotic. For the $210 price, you're getting the quality you expect from a premium Jordan Brand release.
