At full price, it's a tougher sell unless you really vibe with the simplified design. Try them on if you can. For me, the "rare air jordan 3" is a 7/10—a reliable, stylish option that makes the iconic silhouette a bit more accessible to everyone. Who should maybe pass? Hardcore collectors seeking only the highest quality retros. If elephant print quality is your #1 thing, maybe look at an OG release. Also, if you need max cushioning for all-day wear, there are better modern options. The rare air jordan 3 is a style-first, heritage sneaker. Keep that in mind. Now, a potential con? The materials. 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. Putting these on... okay, the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's "fine"—you get that familiar Air Jordan 3 feel, but it's definitely on the firmer side. Don't expect crazy comfort like some modern retros. The ankle collar is padded nicely, though. It's a comfortable shoe, just not a "cloud" by any means.
