The shape and overall vibe are very similar, though. If you love the AJ3 look but want something a bit more understated from the Jordan series, this rare air iteration is a great option to consider. Major pros? The style is undeniable. It's a timeless Jordan series design that goes with almost anything. The price is more accessible than many other Jordan 3 releases. The build quality on my pair is consistent, no major flaws. For a casual wear shoe, the Rare Air Jordan 3 checks a lot of boxes for someone who wants the look without the hype or highest price tag. Who should skip it? Hardcore sneakerheads and OG Jordan 3 fans. You'll probably be disappointed by the material changes and missing details. If elephant print is a must-have for you, just save up for a retro release. The "rare air jordan 3" isn't trying to be that, and that's okay. On foot, the silhouette really pops. The lack of the Jumpman on the heel? It gives the rare air jordan 3 a different, almost vintage vibe. The materials aren't premium leather, but they look good on camera.
