They're great for teens, or as a beater pair of 3s. You get the iconic style without the stress of ruining a super-expensive retro. Now, a potential con: the materials. They're not "bad", but they're definitely not premium. The leather feels stiffer and less supple than on the higher-tier retros. If you're all about that buttery soft leather and rich textures, you might be disappointed. This is a shoe built more for durability and a certain look than for ultra-luxurious feel. Just keeping it real. On foot now, and the comfort is decent right out of the box. The cushioning is there, but it's not super plush like some modern retros. The fit is true to size for me, with a good lockdown around the midfoot. They're not heavy at all, which is great for all-day wear. The Rare Air Jordan 3 does the job for casual comfort, but don't expect groundbreaking, cloud-like feel from these. Alright, so the box just arrived. First thing I notice? The shape of this "rare air jordan 3" is "spot-on". The 'White/Cement Grey' colorway is super clean, and the build quality feels solid right out of the box. For $200 USD, the initial impression is strong. The classic elephant print looks great, and the overall silhouette is just iconic Jordan 3.
