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. My final take? The "rare air jordan 3" is a good sneaker with a specific purpose. It brings an iconic design to a more accessible price. I like them for what they are—a lifestyle-focused version. Would I choose them over an OG retro? No. But for the price? They're a respectable option in the Jordan series lineup. Alright, so I just got the "Rare Air Jordan 3" in hand, and my first thought? The box is classic, but the shoe itself... the colorway is super clean. It's that white, cement grey, and infrared combo – instantly recognizable. The build quality feels solid right out of the box, no major flaws I can spot. For around "$200 USD", the initial impression is pretty positive, you know? Final take? I'm really digging this pair. The rare air jordan 3 delivers on comfort and style for a fair price. It's a confident, low-key flex. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, especially if you find it on sale. Just go in with the right expectations about materials, and you'll be happy. Thumbs up from me
