First impression? The box is clean, and the shoe itself has a super classic silhouette. This "Rare Air" version, at around $200 USD, ditches the iconic elephant print, which is a bold move. The materials feel decent, not premium, but solid for the price point. It's a straightforward, modern take on a legend. Comparing it to a standard Jordan 3 Retro, the obvious difference is the missing elephant print. This makes the "rare air jordan 3" feel a bit more like a lifestyle shoe than a straight-up retro. It's also often at a slightly more accessible price point, which is a huge plus. If you love the AJ3 silhouette but want something a little different, this is it. On feet, the design really pops. The lack of the 'Nike Air' branding on the back is the main difference, but the 'Jumpman' looks fine. The white leather upper is easy to keep clean. In natural light, the cement grey details and that infrared hit on the eyelets? "Chef's kiss". It's a versatile look that works with a lot of fits. Alright, let's get into these Rare Air Jordan 3s. First thing out of the box? The shape is "really" nice. The elephant print is clean, and this "White/Cement Grey" colorway is just a classic. For $200, the initial quality feels solid. It's a great alternative if you missed out on other Jordan 3 releases.
