6. Thumb Hole

The Air Jordan 3 Fragment box has a thumb hole cut into the side. Note the clean cut of the hole and how you can see the wrapping inside the box. Check that the ring securing the thumb hole is thick and sturdy.

12. Heel Logo

New Jordan 3 Fragments feature an embossed Jumpman Air logo on the heel. Check the quality and finish of the logo; the edges will be sharp and neat. Make sure that the typeface used is correct. The Jumpman Air logo will overlap a Fragment logo printed underneath the plastic panel. Note how the green color of the heel gets darker closer to the mudguard.

14. Air Unit

Nike Air Jordan 3 Fragments have air unit technology for lightweight cushioning and maximum impact protection. Make sure the window doesn't have excess glue or paint on it. The support structure within the air unit should be clearly visible. This is a good opportunity to have a close up look at the text on the midsole; check that the typeface is correct and the printing is sharp and neat.

18. Eyelets

The midfoot of the Air Jordan 3s will have heavy duty plastic eyelets. Check that the eyelets have a slight curved shape to them to follow the shape of your foot. The plastic will have a rough texture.
