Like I said, the cushioning is firm. If you're used to modern Boost or React foam, this will feel stiff. Break-in time is real. Also, that prominent outrigger can feel a bit wide for people with narrower feet. It's not for everyone, and that's okay to admit. My final take? I'm really liking this Air Jordan Retro 6. It's a faithful retro with great materials. Is it worth the $200? For me, yes, because of the design and nostalgia factor. But go in knowing it's about style, not revolutionary comfort. Try them on if you can. Major pro? The durability. The materials on this retro, especially the nubuck, feel like they'll hold up really well over time. They're easy to clean and maintain compared to some suede-heavy Jordans. For a $200 sneaker you plan to wear often, that's a huge plus. In summary, the Air Jordan Retro 6 is a solid investment for your collection. It's a definitive silhouette. Would I "play" basketball in them? No. But for style, history, and that iconic look? Absolutely yes. Just go true to size, and understand what you're getting—a classic, not a tech marvel. Thumbs up from me.
