But go in with realistic expectations about the fit and feel. It's a lifestyle sneaker first. For me, pulling these out of the box and finally getting them on feet was worth it. The Air Jordan Retro 6 just has that undeniable vibe. Sliding these on... the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar and that inner sleeve provide a really secure, locked-in feel. It's not the most plush cushioning by today's standards—you feel the court heritage—but it's stable. The weight is noticeable but not clunky. A great balance for casual wear, for sure. The major pro for this Jordan? Timeless style. You can't go wrong with this 'Infrared' colorway. It's versatile and goes with so much. Another plus is the durability – the nubuck upper and rubber outsole can take a beating. For a retro basketball shoe, the Air Jordan Retro 6 offers decent impact protection for all-day wear. Now, a potential con: the comfort tech is dated. 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.
