Rare air jordan 3 : On foot now [zfaicd95]

Immediate impression? They're "light". Compared to a retro Jordan 3, the lack of visible Air unit in the heel and the different construction really cuts weight. Comfort is decent for casual wear – it's a flat, stable feel. The Rare Air Jordan 3 isn't a performance beast, but for all-day wear? It's pretty good. The toe box has nice room. Alright, so I just got the rare air jordan 3 in hand. First impression? The box is classic, and the shoe itself... the shape is "really" nice. That classic Jordan 3 silhouette is all there. The white leather with that grey elephant print and the red hits? It's clean. For $200 USD, the initial quality feels solid. Let's get these on foot. Comparing it to a retro Jordan 3? The main difference is the branding. You lose the "Nike Air" heel tab, which is a big deal for purists. The "rare air jordan 3" is for those who love the silhouette but maybe want a slightly more subtle version. It's also often at a slightly better price, which is a practical pro. It's not a replacement, but an alternative. On camera and in person, this colorway really works. The white, grey, and that infrared-ish hit on the eyelets pop without being loud. The lack of the elephant print on the toe is a "major" departure from a standard Jordan 3. Some purists might hate it, but I think it makes this Rare Air version look super sleek and modern. It's a simplified take.
