Rare air jordan 3 : Potential con? For hardcore collectors, the 'Rare Air' branding might feel like a compromise [vt1ony7r]

It's not the "original" spec. Also, if you want the absolute latest tech in cushioning, this isn't it. It's a retro—it has good comfort, but it's not a 2024 performance beast. Keep your expectations in check for what it is: a classic-style sneaker. Now, a potential "con": the "cushioning". If you're used to the soft, bouncy feel of modern sneakers or even retros with Air, the Rare Air Jordan 3 will feel firm. It's not uncomfortable, but manage your expectations. It's built more for style than all-day comfort on concrete. That's the trade-off for the price. Just being real with you guys. Alright, so I just got the rare air jordan 3 in the mail. First impression? The box is classic, and pulling these out... man, the silhouette is instantly recognizable. The 'Rare Air' version has this clean, almost vintage white and cement grey look. For $200, the initial quality seems solid—no glue stains I can spot. It's a strong start for this Jordan series release. Who should probably skip it? Hardcore collectors or purists who only want the original specifications. If the details—the exact elephant print texture, the plush lining, the OG mold—matter most to you, save up for a proper retro release. This version makes compromises to hit that "$150 USD" price, and that's okay! It just serves a different purpose in the sneaker world.
