The colorway goes with almost anything—jeans, shorts, joggers. Another advantage is the price point. At $200, it's one of the more affordable ways to get a Jordan 3 on your feet. For a lifestyle sneaker that nods to basketball heritage without breaking the bank, it's a solid option. Alright, let's get into these rare air jordan 3s. First thing I noticed? The box is different, super clean. The shoe itself? That classic Jordan 3 silhouette is all there, but this "Rare Air" version feels a bit... lighter in hand. The elephant print is toned down, which is interesting. For $200 USD, you're getting that iconic look with a twist. Initial impression? Solid, but let's see on foot. Comparing it to my other Jordans? The rare air jordan 3 sits nicely between a retro and a modern lifestyle shoe. It's not as bulky as some 4s, and the collar is more forgiving than a 1. The cushioning is similar to other 3s I own. The main difference is the branding—'Nike Air' vs. Jumpman—which is a big deal for collectors. For $200, it's a solid entry in the Jordan series if you dig the cleaner aesthetic. Alright, so I just got the rare air jordan 3 in hand. First impression? The shape is actually really nice - that classic elephant print and the overall silhouette are on point. The materials feel decent for the price point, which is around $200 USD. It's a clean, wearable colorway for sure. Not the most exciting, but a solid start.
