They're not bad, but they're not top-tier tumbled leather either. It's a smoother synthetic. For $200, some folks might expect more. Also, that firmer midsole cushioning I mentioned—if you're all about max comfort, this might not be your first pick. So, is the rare air jordan 3 worth it? For me, yes. It fills a gap in a collection—a classic design executed with a modern, clean sensibility. You're paying for the lineage, the look, and the versatility. Just go in knowing its character: it's a refined tribute, not a loud revival. Solid pickup from the Jordan series. Now, a potential con: the comfort tech is dated. If you're used to React or Boost, this will feel firm. Also, that missing elephant print? It's a love-it-or-leave-it thing. For some, a Jordan 3 without it just isn't a true 3. The "Rare Air" branding might also feel like a downgrade if you're a Jumpman logo loyalist. It's not for everyone. Now, a potential con? The cushioning tech is 30+ years old. If you're used to React or Boost, the "rare air jordan 3" might feel a bit stiff initially. It breaks in, but don't expect cloud-like comfort. Also, the elephant print quality can vary pair to pair—sometimes it's crisp, sometimes it's a bit over-sprayed. It's something to check if you're buying in person.
