Also, if you need maximum comfort for long hours on your feet, there are more modern options. And obviously, if you only buy Jordans for on-court performance, this isn't your pick. It's a style play through and through. Big pro for me: the versatility. This colorway goes with almost anything—jeans, shorts, you name it. They're easy to style. The build quality seems good for the price point, and they're a comfortable, classic sneaker. For $200, you're getting a piece of Jordan history with a slight twist. On foot now, and the comfort is... decent. It's a retro basketball shoe, so don't expect modern foam. The cushioning is firm but break-in should help. The fit is true to size for me, with a secure wrap around the midfoot. The weight is noticeable but not crazy heavy. For casual wear, these Rare Air Jordan 3s are perfectly fine for walking around town. On feet, the design really pops. The lack of the "Nike Air" branding on the back is the main "Rare Air" difference, but I don't mind it. The white leather and grey elephant print combo is just timeless. In natural light, these look fantastic. They're versatile enough for jeans or shorts. This Rare Air version keeps the iconic look while being a bit more understated.
