It's not trying to be a heritage re-release. It's more of a lifestyle-focused colorway. The materials feel comparable, but the vibe is fresher and less retro. If you have a lot of core Jordan 3s, this adds a unique option to the rotation. Putting these "Air Jordan 3s" on... the fit is true to size for me. The leather is decent, not super plush, but it's comfortable. The ankle collar gives that classic, supportive feel. They're not the lightest shoe in the "Jordan" lineup, but you definitely feel the cushioning from that visible Air unit in the heel. It's a good, supportive base. On foot now, and the feel is classic "Air Jordan 3". The cushioning from that visible Air unit in the heel is fantastic—it's supportive and comfortable for all-day wear. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure wrap around the midfoot. They're not the lightest sneakers ever, but you expect that with this silhouette. Solid start. So, who are these for? If you love the "AJ3" model and want something different in your rotation, the "'Lucky Shorts'" is perfect. It's for the collector who appreciates a fun story behind a shoe. The quality is there for the "Jordan series" enthusiast.
