Nike Air Jordan Retro 3 OG “Fire Red” 2022

I think I am done with sneakers until the Cardinal 7/chicago 1/chicago 2 come out.

Got one more pair in coming.

If within a week, I happen to still find a pair in stores I’ll make it 5 pairs. These have been beautifully done! Who knows when will be the next time we see a FR retro done again

5 for Fighting!!

Well done baby
 
I took pics of these which I don't with most releases. I wore the Black Cements to pick these up. I hadn't wore them in at least 2 years.

I was looking at the dates of the flight club I’m wearing and the shoe palace I got, the date in the flight club is made from march to may of this year, and shoe palace pair made December 21 to march this year, so the ones released in Asia I bought about a month early is newer made than the one I got today.
 
It’s rare, but it does happen time to time. Just because this shoe isn’t an instant sell-out, doesn’t necessarily mean “times are changing”
Either "times are changing" or they produced a **** ton of these!
Double up in hand. Pair on the left is my FC pair, right side is my Champs pair. The elephant print seems to vary from pair to pair as expected. They absolutely nailed these, both in terms of quality and looks. This is proof JB can make a quality retro when they want to, there is no excuse for going half-a**ed.

Champs pair >>>
 
Just happened to have worn my AT1s and AMMs this week and they were sitting by the door before I put them away. AMM version obviously isn’t actually from the late ‘80s, but still, what a time for Nike’s general design elements, from proportions to materials to colorways.

I was wrong about Alabama giving a whopping to Texas but I was right about finding me my pair. F you SNKRS and FLX for denying me access and calling me a loser. Got mine lower price with no taxes while still working almost 12 hours today. Now time to save for the A Ma 4’s later this year.

Navy Exchange?
 
Yea the EP is slightly lower on that pair. That said, probably gonna wear the FC pair, as I tend to prefer to keep the nicer ones for later. Pretty happy with both my pairs of these though.
I used to do that, too. Then I realized I was operating backward because often I’d end up selling my extra pair (especially if I had more than two pairs). That meant someone else ended up getting to wear my best pair while I only ever wore my worse pair(s) LOL
So now I do the opposite. And even if I get to the worst pair, I usually don’t care by then because I’ve gotten to wear that shoe so much by then that I’m over the little nit-picky flaws.
 
Totally forgot about them. What time did you hit the site?
Just before 9am pacific time. Checked the site before I left for work at 7:30am and nothing at that time. From past releases seems they usually go on NEX from a day to a week later after release date so was shocked it was same day release. So hit or miss with them since Covid hard to time it have to check constantly. Just glad to have these back in rotation since I skipped 2013’s and wore the ‘07s into the ground.

They sit on there awhile before people really started noticing and buying them up. They dropped between 9:10MT and 9:15MT. They sit for like over an hour and then when people caught wind of them on there, they flew fast. By 10:50MT they were gone. They did have a few restock of select sizes a few times.
 
I'm considering getting a pair since I'm hoping to land on a handful or so of classic and timeless shoes in its true original (and not "reimagined") form for a permanent rotation and I was wondering what your guys' thoughts on comfort are on these? I never owned a pair of AJ3s and I think I read somewhere that it compares to perhaps an AF1 cushion-wise. For other Jordans that I've worn before, I've only worn the 11s and tried on the 13s.

They won't be as comfortable as 11s and I have no clue what AF1 feel like since I've never owned a pair. But 3s are pretty comfortable. If you have wide feet like myself it may take you 5 or 6 wears to loosen them up but they fit good, and feel good.

3s are more comfortable than 1s
