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. Let's get these on feet. Initial feel? They're comfortable right out of the box. The cushioning is decent—you get that Air unit in the heel. The fit is true to size for me; nice and secure around the midfoot. They're not heavy at all. Walking around, it's a good, classic Jordan 3 experience. The rare air jordan 3 isn't trying to be ultra-plush, it's just a reliable, wearable sneaker. Who should skip these? If you crave maximum comfort or technical innovation, these aren't it. Hardcore Jordan 3 collectors who need every detail original might pass. Also, if you live for bold statements and textures, the lack of elephant print could be a deal-breaker. It's a specific taste, for sure. Who is this for? Honestly, it's perfect for someone new to the Jordan 3 series or anyone wanting a low-key, wearable retro. If you missed out on pricier 3 releases, this $200 USD option gets you the iconic silhouette. It's also great for casual wearers who appreciate the history but don't need the hype. The rare air jordan 3 is a practical, stylish pick.
