JORDAN 3 Retro Fear Pack 2023

The shoes are on the stiffer side, which I expected since I'm familiar with the AJ series sneakers. I swapped out the insoles for more cushioned ones right after I got them, and it made a noticeable difference. As for the looks, no complaints there—these shoes are all about style, not performance. The sizing is pretty standard; they fit true to size. If you wear thicker socks, they give a snug fit, which feels just right. Breathability? Well, let's just say AJs aren't known for that. They look good, and that's what matters. What I couldn't stand, though, was the weird issue with the left shoe. The inner part near the toe had this hard, downward protrusion that pressed against my foot and caused some discomfort. After wearing them for a few hours, it softened up a bit, either from sweat or the shoe warming up, and I got used to it. But the first few minutes were rough. Honestly, this seems to be a common thing with AJ1, 3, and 4 models. I guess I'm just buying these for the looks at this point.

"Jordan Air Jordan 3 'Fear' - Shock Absorption, Slip Resistance, and Durability - Mid-Top Retro Basketball Shoes in Gray-Black - Real Experience Sharing 😬 Appearance: The shoe features a large area of suede/nubuck material, giving it a premium texture. Laser orange accents complement the midnight black, and the iconic elephant print adds a classic touch. Wearing Experience: The breathability is average, but the socks can go over the ankle without causing discomfort. Over time, the sole tends to oxidize, and the outsole is on the stiffer side. The edges are prone to scuffing and may require touch-ups after some wear. Additionally, creases may form based on your walking style, but it's manageable. These shoes pair well with casual sweatpants, cargo pants, or even a casual suit, offering a timeless look. Sizing: True to size, so you can order your usual size. Overall, this shoe is more about style than comfort, but its classic design makes it a solid choice. Definitely worth considering if you're into retro vibes! 🫡🫡🫡"
