Don't expect React or Zoom. The cushioning is basic and can feel stiff, especially for all-day wear. If you prioritize a soft, modern ride, this "Jordan" might disappoint. It's about heritage, not hype-tech. Comparing it to other Retros? The Air Jordan Retro 6 is more structured than a Retro 1 or 3. It offers more ankle support, for sure. The cushioning isn't as plush as something like a Retro 13, but it's firmer and more stable. It's a different kind of comfort, geared towards support. On foot, the design really pops. The 'Infrared' hits against the black are iconic, and the perforated tongue is a great detail. In natural light or on camera, this colorway just works. It's a statement piece that's still relatively easy to style. The "Air Jordan Retro 6" has a presence that's hard to ignore when you're wearing it. Who should maybe pass? If you're looking for a super-lightweight, modern performance feel or ultra-soft cushioning, this isn't it. It's a retro through and through. Also, if you prefer low-top silhouettes, the high-cut collar here might not be your thing.
