This design just works. The lack of visible Air unit branding on the heel and the simplified elephant print give it a cleaner, more modern take on the OG. In natural light, the white leather pops. Honestly, for a lifestyle sneaker, the Rare Air Jordan 3 nails the aesthetic. It's a great entry into the Jordan 3 world. Alright, let's get into these Rare Air Jordan 3s. First off, the box is standard, but the shoe itself? The colorway is super clean. It's mostly white with that classic elephant print and a hit of red on the tongue. For $200, the initial quality looks solid. The shape is nice and the materials feel good in hand. This is a great summer shoe, honestly. Now, a potential con: the outsole is solid rubber, not translucent. Some folks prefer that icy blue bottom. Also, if you're a total OG spec head, the missing "Nike Air" might bug you. For me, it's not a dealbreaker, but it's worth noting for this particular Rare Air edition. Big pro for me? The versatility. The white-based colorway with grey accents is just so easy to style. You can dress it up a bit more than a standard 3 because of that cleaner toe. The materials also seem like they'll hold up well over time. It's a shoe that feels built to last and look good doing it. That's a major plus in my book.
