Hardcore ballers looking for on-court performance should look at modern models. Also, if you're not into maintaining suede/nubuck, the lighter colorways might cause you some stress. Is it worth the price? At $200 USD, it's a standard Jordan retro price. You're paying for the iconic design and brand heritage. I don't think it's overpriced for what it is - a well-made, classic sneaker. You can often find certain colorways on sale too. For me, the value is in its wearability and timeless look. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 Low is "much" more casual-friendly than the bulky high-top version. It's less restrictive. Versus something like a Jordan 1 Low, it has more of that 90s basketball DNA in its lines. It's a different kind of low-top, for sure – more sporty than minimalist. Who should maybe pass? Hardcore performance basketball players, obviously. Also, if you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, there are better cushioned options out there for the price. And if you're all about that high-top aesthetic and ankle support, the original "AJ6" high is still the king. This "Low" sacrifices some of that iconic look for everyday function.
