The inner sleeve provides a snug, comfortable lockdown around your ankle, which I really appreciate. They're not the lightest Retro out there, but the weight feels solid, not clunky. The Air Jordan Retro 6 has a distinct, supportive feel right out of the box. My final take? I'm really happy with these. The Air Jordan Retro 6 'Infrared' is a legend for a reason. On foot, they look aggressive and cool. The pros – the looks, the build, the history – outweigh the cons of the firm ride for me. It's a must-have for any serious Jordan series lineup. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning is firm, which I actually prefer for all-day wear—it's supportive. The ankle collar gives a nice, secure lockdown. Honestly, the Air Jordan Retro 6 isn't the plushest, but it's comfortable in its own right. You feel connected to the ground. Who should maybe skip it? If your priority is all-day, walk-all-over-the-city comfort, look at the Retro 3 or maybe a different model entirely. Also, if you have very narrow feet, the fit might be too airy. It's a specific vibe. For $200, you gotta really want "this" shoe.
