I laced up these Air Jordan Retro 6s, and the fit is snug—true to size for me. The cushioning isn't super plush like some modern shoes, but it's comfortable. The ankle collar gives good support without being restrictive. It's a heavier shoe, though. You definitely feel the "weight" compared to, say, an AJ1. Who should maybe skip it? If you're seeking ultimate, all-day comfort above all else, look at newer models. Also, if you have a really wide foot, the fit might be too restrictive. And for actual, serious basketball? I'd recommend modern performance shoes over this retro. The Air Jordan Retro 6 is more of a lifestyle icon now. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's for the collector, the fan of OG colorways, or someone who wants a stylish, supportive casual shoe. If you love the '90s basketball aesthetic, this is a must. The Air Jordan Retro 6 delivers exactly what it promises: a classic, brought back. Comparing it to, say, an AJ1 or an AJ4? The Jordan Retro 6 sits differently. It's bulkier than a 1 but has more defined lines than a 4. The comfort profile is unique to the 6s—it's more about lockdown and support than sheer cushion. If you're used to the minimal feel of a 1, the 6 will feel more substantial and protective, which can be a good thing.
