It's that classic white, cement grey, and fire red combo we love, but the "Rare Air" branding on the tongue is a nice, subtle twist. The build quality feels solid right out of the box, no major flaws I can spot. Honestly, for around $200 USD, this is a pretty strong start for a Jordan 3 release. Who should skip it? If you're a die-hard OG Jordan 3 fan and need that elephant print, this isn't it. Also, if you're looking for the absolute latest tech or performance basketball features, look elsewhere within the Jordan series. This is a lifestyle-focused model. Who should avoid it? Hardcore Jordan collectors who only mess with OG specs. Also, if you're buying your "first" Jordan 3, I'd probably point you to a Retro first to get the true experience. This "Rare Air" version is a cool alternative, but it shouldn't be your introduction to the Jordan series. Know what you're getting into. Alright, so I just got the "rare air jordan 3" in hand. 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.
