The Jordan 3 Rare Air delivers a classic look with a slight twist. At around $200, it's a fair price for the quality. It's become my go-to grab-and-go shoe recently. Definitely a solid pick-up in my book. Who is this for? Honestly, it's great for someone who loves the Jordan 3 shape but wants a slightly more low-key, versatile option. It's perfect for collectors looking for a different take, or for casual wearers who just want a clean, comfortable sneaker with that Jordan heritage. The $200 price tag is fair for what you get. Now, a potential con for purists: the "Nike Air" branding is gone from the heel. If that's a deal-breaker for you, you'll want the OG retros. Also, the leather quality, while good, isn't quite as premium as some of the higher-tier Jordan 3 releases. It's a more accessible version, and that shows in a couple of small places. On camera and in person, this colorway "pops". The elephant print isn't overdone, it's just right. The "Nike Air" on the back is a huge plus for me. They look great with jeans or shorts. Honestly, the rare air jordan 3 might be one of the better-looking GR releases lately. It's a simple, effective design that really honors the original. No crazy gimmicks, just a solid shoe.
