This rare air jordan 3 colorway goes with everything - jeans, shorts, you name it. They're comfortable right out of the box, which isn't always the case. The price point at $200 is also more accessible than some other Jordan retros. It's a straightforward, good-looking shoe. On camera and in person, this colorway really works. The white, grey, and that infrared-ish hit on the eyelets pop without being loud. The lack of the elephant print on the toe is a "major" departure from a standard Jordan 3. Some purists might hate it, but I think it makes this Rare Air version look super sleek and modern. It's a simplified take. My final take? The "rare air jordan 3" is a good sneaker with a specific purpose. It brings an iconic design to a more accessible price. I like them for what they are—a lifestyle-focused version. Would I choose them over an OG retro? No. But for the price? They're a respectable option in the Jordan series lineup. Big pro for me? The versatility. This is a sneaker you can wear with "a lot". Jeans, shorts, even some smarter-casual fits. The white, cement grey, and fire red hit just right. It's a summer-ready shoe, for sure. The quality is consistent, no major flaws on my pair. Good for everyday.
