Don't expect Zoom Air or React foam here. It's a firm, classic ride. Also, the toe box can feel a bit narrow for some foot shapes. If you're used to ultra-plush, modern sneakers, the Air Jordan Retro 6 might feel stiff at first. It's a break-in period kind of shoe. On foot now, and I gotta say, the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan Retro 6 has a snug, secure feel around the midfoot, thanks to that inner sleeve. It's not the most plush cushioning by today's standards—you feel that encapsulated Air unit—but it's stable. The weight is noticeable but not heavy, just a solid, grounded feel. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Retro 6 sits higher around the ankle than a 1 or a 3, offering more support. It's also noticeably heavier than something like a Retro 11. But that's part of its charm – it feels substantial and protective. If you like that fortified, classic hoops shoe feel, you'll appreciate the 6's design philosophy. Who are these for? Honestly, for collectors and fans of the lineage. If you grew up watching MJ win in these, or just appreciate iconic basketball sneaker history, the Air Jordan Retro 6 is a must. They're also great for casual wearers who value style and support over ultra-plush feel. You're buying into a piece of the Jordan series story.
