so I got these on sneakers and they came in the mail last week I'm finally
getting a chance to open up the box I'm excited to see what these things are
talking about we're gonna compare them to the first version and the Atmos trees
and see how they compare and then I'll let you guys make your decision at the
end of the video if you didn't know by now my name is DJ in this is the DNA

much but with that being said we need to crack this box up and see what these
shoes is really talking about and here we have it the Air Jordan 3 animal
instinct so one thing that I really love about these shoes is this box right here
the classic nostalgic vibes behind the Air Jordan 3 other models retro cards
everything like that stamps on top of the box every time I have an opportunity
to add one of these boxes into my shoe collection and have it sitting on the
wall looking so clean over there I'm always excited about that because I
really love these boxes bottom of the box as you can see you have the images
all over with different things reminiscent different areas of Jordan
from the old days to the new days from the last shot to all different types of
stuff as you look at the size tag right here Air Jordan 3 retro se black black
white Gorge green size twelve and a half for me but the retail price two hundred
and fifty dollars so before we get into the video I want to show you the two
shoes that I will be using in comparison that is the Air Jordan 3 animal instinct
the first one that came out last year and then the at most Air Jordan 3 from
the pack also has that Safari vibe to it so I feel like this kind of made sense
so we'll talk about that a little bit in the video but let's go ahead and unbox
these shoes and see what they talking about so opening up the box you got your
black paper that comes with it and then you got the white paper and then we got
the shoe oh we got the shoe so awful first look at this shoe right now the
first thing that looks a little bit off to me is the tongue it looks kind of
short I wish it was a little bit bigger but I know that's not the thing that
everybody's talking about they're talking about the colorway the materials
all different stuff like that I've literally heard so many different
responses about this sneaker but we'll talk about that later in the
about would you guys be because I've definitely heard some pretty awful
responses I don't know if it's because of the price point being 250 dollars or
the materials or the colorways I don't know we'll get into that in a bit but
with all that being said let's go ahead and start reviewing this shoe starting
with the outside you have your classic Air Jordan 3 outsole right here but this
one is a little bit different it's got like a sail tint to it not a crispy
white and then it has a yellow pod right here with the Jordan branding and then
your red pod here at the Paul of the foot working our way up to the midsole
and the toe cap right here you have a sail wrapping at the toe with the sail
stitch and then a sell here on the midsole a sail air bubble and then black
wrapping around the heel on the back similar to the iconic color blocking
style of the white cement or the black Sandman 3 now taking our way up to the
upper this is gonna be one of the most controversial parts of the shoe and I
know everybody's gonna talk about it but initial touch initial feel it feels like
it's pretty quality it feels like it's there you can definitely feel the
difference between the textures between the back of the foot the front of the
foot and the top of the toe right here you got alligator snakeskin crocodile
elephant whatever you want to call it but it's giving you those animal
instinct vibes if you know what I'm saying now the first one we know it was
more of a furry version and this is more of a leathery more scaly type version so
that's why we're seeing these type of materials on the 2.0 compared to the 1.0
which we'll get into in a little bit in the video but first I want to show you
guys the details of the toe right here with the snakeskin and the materials and
everything looking at the mudguard as you can see right here with the
crocodile working your way up to the top of the toe right here you got red
eyelets at the bottom yellow eyelets at the top you got more of a mocha esque
elephant print here on the back of the foot with the yellow leather Air Jordan
logo tab on the back and I'm actually like low-key kind of digging here I
don't know I feel like it's kind of cool if you flip the tag back you can see
it's got the green behind that and then you got green here around the color and
it's a simple yet extravagant colorway if that makes any sense like it's not
like it's way out there I feel like maybe the yellow it's what's really
making it pop like that but it's a pretty simple colorway working our way
up to the tongue and the laces you can see you have black wax laces right here
it does come with an extra set of red regular laces in yellow regular laces
might be interested to see what that looks like with those in there maybe the
yellow ones might make it pop or something like that
looking at the tongue you got your gray snakeskin right here with your red
Jumpman sticking out bro the quality this dish work everything like that I
feel like it's there I understand why it's two hundred and fifty dollars
because of the materials and everything that goes along with it but at the same
time people just don't want to spend that much money looking at the back of
the tongue you have animal instinct embroidered on the back of both tongues
in a red satin with a red stitch and then on the inside of the sock liner you
have a black satin sock liner a yellow insole and a red Jumpman on the inside
right there overall it's not like the shoe is super crazy but it is crazy at
the same time I've seen more interesting colorways on different shoes before so I
don't know I can I don't know it's kind of hard for me to like really say what
other people think but I know for me personally I think it's pretty cool I
think it's pretty solid I know that 250 is a hard one but overall I think it's a
solid shoe and I would copy it but I think more and a discounted rate
probably would be the best way I would say I would really want to cop the shoe
so the first thing I want to do is compare the first version to the second
version just to give you guys a quick glimpse of the two if you haven't really
seen them side-by-side or compared or understand where they're going with the
furry concept and more of the scaled leathery concept on the second one and
then you got a satin tongue here with a leather tongue here different hits on
the shoe that make it a little bit different also on the first one it just
says instinct stitched on the back on the inside of the tongue right here and
then you have your animal instinct stitched on the back inside the tongue
here but there's not too many crazy things that I would say are similar
besides literally the sock liner on these two shoes might be the only thing
that's actually similar between the two but you do understand the concept in a
story behind it as the whole animal instinct you know the fur and everything
like that so I get where they're going I'm not mad at the execution again two
hundred and twenty five dollars two hundred and fifty dollars this one's
better in my opinion I think maybe a lot better actually than this one and these
are cheaper so if me personally I would probably go after a couple pairs of
these before I were to ever go after a couple pairs of these I think it might
be cool to have maybe one pair in your collection but
definitely not like oh yeah you gotta have multiples these are gonna be worth
a lot down the road type thing I don't know if it falls in that category so
next I want to compare it to the Safari at most Air Jordan 3 right here from the
pack now you can see this one is very simple in a way of the color blocking
style how they imitate kind of like a black cement 5 and you know where
they're going with the colorway and in the blocking and everything like that
obviously they switch the colors a little bit but you kind of get where
they're going with this one this one's a little bit more patchy a little bit more
inconsistent and I feel like this one in general is just better than the other
two so it's kind of hard to be like oh is this one better than that one but I
just kind of wanted to give you guys a look at the difference between the two
so you can kind of see where they have gone three different times three
different attempts whatever you may be on a animal or a safari or whatever kind
of colorway or style you want to call this series of sneakers especially with
the Air Jordan 3 in particular just to kind of see where they went from 2017 to
2019 to now 2020 I definitely think it is interesting to see where they have
gone from a safari vibe to now come in with something like this I'm not sure if
they're gonna do like a 3.0 and a 4.0 and all that stuff usually they kind of
do a second sometimes a third version if they were to do a third version with the
animal instinct vibe to it I'm not exactly sure where they would go what
kind of animal or what kind of jungle or force they gonna come from or maybe they
have to go with like a polar bear or something I don't know but it had this
just switch it up a little bit so I asked the people on Instagram like I
always do if you haven't already followed me on there but I want to know
which one was better this one or that one and I'm honestly very surprised
because it was 58% for the first one and 42% for the second one I was thinking it
was gonna be like 70/30 and I know a lot of people were like oh you know there
but I'm actually kind of surprised I didn't think it was gonna be that close
yeah I just thought this always just way better than this one but again it's not
bad I just I don't feel it as much as I feel this one and the reason why I'm so
interested into why it was so close was because I asked him this one
individually is this one fire or trash and it was like 39 to 61 so I was like
way more people weren't liking this shoe and they were kind of liking it battled
up with the other one but they didn't like this one at all like heavily so
does that mean the other one is like trash too in his own sense like but
overall at the end of the day by what you like if you like this shoe go ahead
and get it if you want to get it 250 is a little high I would say wait you might
be able to fight it on sale or on discount somewhere maybe even out an
outlet or in the resale market later down the road for under retail 250 is
kind of high it might go for more than 250 5 or 7 years from now and that's
maybe but I don't know I just don't see this shoe really being worth like a lot
of money so I hope this gave you guys a good look at the difference between the
