Also, if you're buying your "first" Jordan 3, I'd probably point you to a Retro first to get the true experience. This "Rare Air" version is a cool alternative, but it shouldn't be your introduction to the Jordan series. Know what you're getting into. Final take? I'm keeping these. They're a great summer rotation shoe. They look clean on foot, they're comfortable enough for all-day wear, and they're just... easy. The rare air jordan 3 won't be for everyone, but if the style speaks to you, you'll probably be happy with them. Solid pickup. Alright, so I just got the "Rare Air Jordan 3" in hand, and my first thought? The box is classic, but the shoe itself... the colorway is super clean. It's that white, cement grey, and infrared combo – instantly recognizable. The build quality feels solid right out of the box, no major flaws I can spot. For around "$200 USD", the initial impression is pretty positive, you know? Major pro? The versatility. This colorway goes with almost anything—jeans, shorts, joggers. It's an easy shoe to wear. The comfort is there from the first wear, no real break-in needed. For a $200 Jordan, it's hitting a good spot for a clean, wearable sneaker that isn't screaming for attention.
